A movie I was bored to watch in my spare time. I didn’t expect it to touch me so much that I didn’t want to fast forward. The beginning of the plot was a bit messy. Later, it revolved around the conversation of the three protagonists in front of the judge and the police. The film unfolded in the...

After watching this movie, I was completely blown away. The frame, the narrative rhythm, the details, the ending, the whole story.

Who in the end lost himself? People who live in groups do not suddenly think of philosophical questions.

I don't know what intrigue is, let alone what hypocrisy, lies,...

There is no doubt about Kaufman's playwriting ability. This one doesn't seem to be so flying, but there is still a place full of imagination and magic. The three main characters tell their own parts, and there are no unreliable narrators. Human nature is the most filthy thing in the world. Once the ape-man has learned the core part of human nature: disguising and deceiving by any means for his own desires, then he will become a qualified modern man. The reversal at the end of the film highlights Kaufman's banter and reflection on human nature.

Charlie Kaufman's plays are famous, each so special, playful and profound, this one is reminiscent of Truffaut's "Wild Child", in short, the theme is: At the beginning of man, nature is evil . Sometimes, the evolution of civilization is a veil of hypocrisy, and the so-called belonging to nature and returning to human nature is a joke. The professor stepped out of the perverted family education, and the rules of being a man have become the criterion of survival, which brings distortions under the coercion, and this distortion is precisely formulating his morbid nature. Lila, a naturalist and body-haired sufferer, also sees nature as an outlet to escape the ridicule of society. In the so-called nature and human nature, the ape-man Papho has three entrances and three exits. He is hidden in the wilderness but is subject to sexual desire. After being taught a forced civilized teaching, although he looks graceful and normal, he has actually become a cunning person. This kind of "knowing the face but not the heart" is also the normal life of each of us civilized people. Therefore, they are all doing a show, but the mistress with a French accent is the most real. The world needs secrets to function, but in fact, the nature of human beings is such that there are no secrets at all.
