love in a dream...

A nested story. What's unusual is that most of the stories are reality nested dreams. And this story is a dream against a nested reality. Most of the story is actually a dream. The dream of a girl whose heart is broken by love and whose dreams are ruthlessly bound. In the dream, she is beautiful, sunny, and has a bright future. In reality, the people she can't love, in the dream, are completely weak and completely need her to rely on.

I watched it alone in the hotel at night, because it is a very new hotel, and it is not very popular yet. I never saw anyone in the elevator on the 50th floor... I was lying on the bed and watching this movie with dim lights. what a great idea. Weird music, weird characters, and the most unbearable thing is the first-person camera. The kind of slow-moving, slightly wobbly, but exceptionally clear shots. Every time I turned a corner, I subconsciously narrowed my eyes and leaned back, for fear of something jumping out of the corner.

When the director shoots the dream as the main body and gives countless complete details to the dream, the dream becomes a plausible world that is not like a dream, but is definitely not reality. In this world, everyone seems to be awake, but seems to be in a trance; every look, seemingly simple but mysterious and meaningful.

The two-hour movie is actually a girl's dream before committing suicide. Exhausted in reality, she can only play the role she wants to play in the last dream of her life. When the dream began to blur and shake, she and her lover came to a gloomy church to watch a performance at midnight. The dream began to climax and began to slowly connect with reality.

The female singer in the performance, sang a song. Her heavy makeup, the dazzling lights on her face, and her extremely tense but extremely sad songs, twist people's hearts together. People can deceive themselves in reality; they can also deceive themselves in dreams. But when dreams and reality collide, all the disguised shells will fall off. The sad song by the female singer is actually the heroine's true self.

At the end of the song, the people are scattered, and a lonely and tormented soul is finally freed...

    #DocumentaryPhoto# The bold experimental style almost reminds me of Freud's "psychoanalysis" and Kafka's grotesque social novels. Perhaps in David Lynch's eyes, the world is inherently absurd and cold. . In this story with a little bit of les love, dreams are independent of reality and also a projection of reality. I finally realized that Dane played by Naomiwatts is the saddest character in the whole story, and the big-chested amnesiac played by Laura Harring Companionship is the love and hatred that she could not seek in her life, until she was completely mad and fell into a dream of spiritual imagination, until she destroyed herself. The dreamy life and encounters before, various images and characters, and even the entire story, are nothing but a mixture of her reality and inner desires. When she wakes up, it is still a stark reality that is a complete failure.

    It is Lynch's strength that image kneading can make reasoning less chaotic. We can’t walk into the director’s mind, or know for himself whether he is playing mystery or using the technique accurately: in this way, repetitive, illogical, ridiculous shots, analogous conversions and other conceptual content can be reproduced with a high degree of correspondence. The technique is superb, but the precision should be inspirational, or ingenious, or doubtful. Or the association brought by the other half of the precise design is ten times the original idea: this is also a theory of novel creation. I do not answer here about my closeness to it, but in terms of attitude, I despise it: either write a comment by myself, or fall into the vanity that creates a state of divergence.
