I was going to give it three stars, but after all, the movie is still forbearing, so I added one star, because even in the final movie, it didn't shoot the incestuous love between the actor and the married director.
This movie was marked very early. It should have been when I watched the wine country last year. The same heroine, Jin Minxi. The relationship between the movie and the actors is really strange. I can't say who is more important, maybe it's the right fit. In the end, it's a script issue. But no matter what, either the script creates the character and the actor shows it, or the actor creates the character. And "Walking Alone on the Beach at Night" is forbearance enough, and at the same time his storyline is very simple, so naturally it depends entirely on the actor's skill if he wants to be outstanding.
Jin Minxi, the role in the movie is still the feeling of the whole character. It is really the expression in the movie. You say how beautiful she is, but it is not necessarily. After all, she still has a slightly baby fat face, but it does have a feminine flavor. The charm, the last friends who haven't seen for many years have accurate evaluation.
Maybe it’s because I watched Hou Hsiao-hsien’s long takes a lot, and I was very disgusted with the director’s approach of pulling into the camera, but fortunately, the director wasn’t too verbose, and he did it in 100 minutes. There seems to be an explanation in this movie, why do you want to make a movie like this, it will be boring! So I'm afraid it's too boring, so it's better to keep it simple.
In the end, the heroine still had a long dream on the beach, dreaming that she was drinking with the director who brought her grief, and the director also gave her a book. So if I want to come to the heroine, I still can't get out of this relationship. Even if I have returned to this remote seaside town, far away from Seoul, I still fall into a dream if I am not careful.
Whether the heroine can go out in the end is actually quite difficult. Drinking with friends clearly shows the heroine's inner depression, and at the same time has a strong ideal paranoia, and in the chat, I have seen the heroine's destination for death. Friends have no choice, and neither can the director.
