Watching "Nocturnal Animals" with my eldest sister is full of violence and aesthetic metaphors. To put it bluntly, it means breaking up for 20 years. The literary ex-husband wrote a novel and sent it to the heroine, so that the heroine thinks that she has an old love for her unforgettable, and then after the date is finalized Resolutely letting go of the pigeons came a childish revenge.
The theme of the movie can be said to be a perfect interpretation of Eileen Chang's words: if you choose white moonlight, it will become rice grains on your clothes over time; if you choose red roses, TA will become mosquito blood.
The heroine once chose Bai Yueguang and found that the rice was not delicious, so she left the other party and threw herself into the arms of roses. After 20 years, her relationship was indifferent and her marriage fell into a quagmire.
In the ex-husband's story, because of his "cowardice", his wife and daughter were raped and murdered, but he could not bring the murderer to justice. In the end, he could only use blood for blood, and "solve it in private" and fight the other party to death. The heroine who cruelly chose to leave him at the beginning, and also destroyed their children without telling him. He was like the hero who did not protect his wife and daughter, and suppressed his self-blame for a long time afterwards. , also brewing resentment.
"We will eventually grow up to look like our own mothers."
It's an uncomfortable film, the beauty of form outweighs the story, the composition is beautiful, and the pace is slow, but it does have flavor.
