    "Spring nights are so cold", life is the same. Archie's film focuses on the music, the actors, and the precise camera design. The fate of cruel practice in itself is even more lonely and helpless in the silent lens of bystanders, and the light of twilight is afraid that it is just an extravagant hope that will never come. Three and a...

    Just like the architecture and climate of northern Europe, it is almost certain that Aki Kaurismaki is a typical person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he shows this style in this film. For the film itself, there is nothing to say. To be brief, perhaps the famous sentence of Mr. Xin is more appropriate here: "Looking back at dusk, the man was in the dim...

    Kaurismaki's films have a rigid hierarchy. They are intertwined in the collision and confrontation between groups of different classes, which are warm and sometimes bloody. This movie is very cold, I don't know if it's because of the plot or because of the Finnish climate, but to say that his movie has nothing to do with politics, I'll swear it's a naked communist feeling, okay? !...

    The institutions and high-class people in Kaurismaki's films are like a grain of sand in a shell, and they will never be in tune with the low-class people. In this process of repeated friction and suffering, people gradually learned to swallow their voices and bear it silently, and they also developed a strong and optimistic spirit of existentialism. There will be...

    All the losses of the male protagonist are due to stupidity, which makes me unable to have sympathy. The police world is almost synonymous with bureaucracy and violence in every movie, so bad guys do evil and good guys get punished. The splendor of the city has completely collapsed, and the human touch is only in the slums and towns far away from the sky. "The immortals only care for the people in the sky, and the people on earth can only help each...

    Kind ending

    As the last of the contemporary Finnish trilogy, Aki made a brutal movie that was darkened to the end. During the movie watching, I always thought of Renoir's "Bitch". The story structure of the film is so similar, except that the class has been exchanged, and the wicked are not punished. All...

    Male protagonist

    The reason why the male protagonist is so miserable is because the director did not impose his own emotional pity on the male protagonist. Even if it is pity, it is a top-down pity, or pity that only exists in the creative process, such as a small shop. From the moment she appears on the stage, she...

Lights in the Dusk quotes

  • Bank Manager: [Bank manager is reviewing Koistinen's application for a small-business loan] Tell me, Koistinen... Are you some kind of comedian?

    Koistinen: Why?

    Bank Manager: Did you come to cheer us up? What are these papers? A trade school diploma... Did you think it will give you a loan of two hundred thousand - without any security, any guarantors?

    Koistinen: I'll guarantee it myself, until the company gets going and...

    Koistinen: [Interrupting him] Guarantees from trash like you are worthless.

    Koistinen: But I've got an account here.

    Bank Manager: I won't even take your application further. It's rejected. You're only wasting my time and yours. Go away.

  • Mirja: [Worried that Koistinen will squeal] He'll talk. He'll tell them about me.

    Lindholm: Koistinen will never betray you. He's loyal as a dog, a sentimental fool. My genius lies in understanding that.
