To be honest, after reading it, it's pretty chaotic. This feeling is similar to that after watching Mulholland Drive. It is different, because it is not incomprehensible, but the reference and imagery are too rich, and you will get different senses from different angles. I have to say that every time after watching the film, if I can't watch the film immediately, I will feel quite ashamed, as if I am complaining about my stupidity and stupidity. However, watching movies with this emotion has brought utility and purpose.
I have to say, this is a terrific movie. Explanation of human nature, no, do not explain, just show human nature with surrealism. Amazing imagination, far better than Lynch and Buñuel. Talk about your own opinion.
At first, the male protagonist was seen as cowardly, rigid, unhappy with the world, and only foolishly playing with puppets. Lenovo's title, I'm surprised, it doesn't mean that the unhappy life of the male protagonist is like a puppet in his hand, invisible and controlled. If you look further down, you will know that you cannot make a judgment on the film based on your own imagination.
On the seventh and a half floors of the low-rise building, people are huddled in it, funny and busy, like a human figure like an ant in the mundane world, wronged, but wronged willingly.
Meixin is beautiful, with worldly desires. In the film, through her own words, she is the person in the world who knows what she wants. At first, she saw that Tongkou was lucrative, so she could use it to make money. Later, she found out that when Dilo was in McVeigh's body, she was very happy, and then when the male protagonist can do the same, she said that he can control McVeigh, and she can control him. Change the direction of the wind now. In the end, her transformation is something I don't understand about the film. She decides to give up any interests for the sake of the child in her womb. Perhaps it is also reasonable, she only lives for what she wants.
Look at the male protagonist again, he is a pitiful wretch. In order to have Meixin, he even turned his gun on his wife, caged her, turned around to control McVeigh, and used him to gain fame, money, and beauty he never got. Of course, in the end, he gave up these in order to save Mei Xin. Even hopelessly entered the body of McVeigh's daughter, leaning and looking at Mei Xin. I have to say that he is also a puppet of desire, but his desire is beauty.
Just like the male protagonist, the large group of those who deserve to die and don't want to die are carried in the boat of desire, but their other side is eternal life.
Speaking of Dilo, at the beginning of the film, she is the wife of the uninteresting and hopeless male protagonist, beside a lot of animals, pitifully asking her husband for a child. A true wife. Then after entering McVeigh's body, the whole changed his temper and went crazy. Keep asking, I'm me, I'm McVeigh. In the pleasure of being a man, she seems to be empowered by Daigo. She should be a man, and being a man is what she wants. Like those who came to experience it later, they felt wonderful, hiding behind other people's skins, behind the truth, peeping, and enjoying life. In the dark side of human nature, you can taste the pleasure of drying yourself up in a different reality. Is there true self-awareness in the dark side of human nature? do not know.
Also, the point of questioning the film is that McVeigh himself, who has been taken over by others, has become a veritable puppet. A paradoxical scene awaits him when he's penetrating into himself, he's everywhere, transgender with big breasts, he's lying on the table for men to play with, he's the waiter in the bar, the menu He was filled with the price tag. This is interesting. Is it implying that in everyone's self-consciousness, there are thousands of faces, intricate and complicated, all of which are the faces of desires, and become the desires of others.
If all this is attributed to desire, it is no longer difficult to explain. Dirty, clean, ugly, pickled, hypocritical, fake, all kinds of desire, floating in the river of human nature, like a dagger, pierce it, dominate it, until we become the puppet of desire .
At this point, I no longer care about the connotations of the film, but only focus on the point of desire. I carefully asked myself whether you have become a puppet. I dare not answer. Because I don't know when or when, I am it.
Every character is just right, quite brilliant. But I really can't compliment Diaz's appearance. The part where the subconscious mind is shuttled at the end is very interesting. The female sympathy in the film will not be discussed, it is strange, but I don't quite understand such a setting. It's to make the movie more watchable. That's not really necessary, because the movie itself is great.
