Fleck must also be a sensitive little intellectual, so the compiled things always more or less reflect the weaknesses of idealists like me-see clearly, can explain, so what?
As he said, "One man alone can't change the world." We always think of ourselves too high, but we often mess up our lives.
What I am not sure about is the focus of this movie, whether it is the "dialectics" emphasized by the director through Dan, or the racial estrangement that still cannot be eliminated, or just telling a story with ups and downs.
At first glance, some parts were a little boring. Upon closer inspection, Fleck still buried a lot of foreshadowing, and expressed quite implicitly. Both the mirror movement and the editing are unique. The two eyes at the beginning of the climax are half hidden behind the door, ambiguous and intriguing.
Ryan did a great job, and his free eyes are worthy of being nominated by the academy.
