      Two elves from afar

      There's an illogical order that the whole society is trying to protect, where two teenage girls want to mess it up, break it, play it crazy, cut each other's heads and bodies to pieces, jump trains Going dark and throwing elaborate reserved dinner cakes on top of each other, but they laugh and don't mind at all. Maybe you don't realize how wonderful this movie is until you've experienced the dull, depressing, and struggling state. Because in the black and white society, there are two...

      Pretty Movie/Beautiful Girl Over Flowers

      The old article is not first published.

      There's so much ism about this movie, but I'm just going to talk about how they died today.

      These two girls want to be depraved, and they have to compete to be degraded.

      The depravity they speak of is dating an old man who looks fat and fat, or a bunch of skinny bones. With a beautiful smile, he set fire to the house, and in the smoke, he grilled a sausage and feasted on it. It was the very delicate pajamas that were cut off (my heart...

      Splurge and cherish are the same thing

      "This movie is dedicated to people whose spiritual life is completely disordered"

      1) Formally creative:

      "Stream of Consciousness"

      emotional sound effects;

      Time passes with the consciousness of the characters;

      The image is presented with the consciousness of the character;

      Shots are cut with associative logic.

      "Fast-Paced": Plot; Graphic Style

      *Very beautiful picture and color matching, like a fashion film

      2)Character: Cute...

      untouchable love

      It is the first time that I feel that a film can be so contradictory, whether in terms of plot, characters, or scenes, it makes people feel that conflicts are everywhere. The scene in the film is pure from the very beginning. The daisies and the green grass all over the mountains and the fields are intertwined with white and light yellow, which makes people have a kind of beautiful precipitation. A small stream flows quietly, the green grass on the bank flutters with the wind, and there is a...

      Absurd Fragment of Stream of Consciousness

      In fact, the two female protagonists in the film are not human. The film hints in many details: the robot-like movements in the title, the workers at work ignore their existence, the farmer in the farm and the gardener in the garden do not notice them either. . They should be a stream of surreal desires, a stream of emotions. The mechanical background music in the film and the background sound of the clock give people a sense of space and time confusion. It is like observing this bizarre world...

      A "drama feature film" made in a completely avant-garde way, but it is difficult to be included in the avant-garde pedigree (there is a big curve to go around here), this film is really trendy after 60...

      Those who watch it have a headache. In the first half hour, they can have the patience to cut off the awesome photography. In the second half hour, it is really... The things related to daisies are really incomprehensible to normal people, the voices of two stupid girls About to pierce my head. When I watched it, I couldn't help but wonder if my black and white blind classmate could not stop scolding his father when he watched this...

      Rewatched in class on 10/31/16, this is perhaps one of the best new wave movies, since the socialist metaphors and satire in most of the episodes are obvious, its content is not the point, the important thing is that it is The inspection of film as a visual medium breaks through the limitation of film's reliance on formatted dramatic stories, and constructs its own unique narrative through thematically related lens language and visual...

      Feeling first, the road is self-solving. Logic and story are not important, "fun" is what matters. The two bad-ass teenage girls use extremely frivolous and unbridled ways to destroy, destroy, dissolve, and embezzle the rules of society. for what reason? no. Unable to speak. Don't be so serious. Thinking of "The Outsiders", they are Czech "outsiders" who use their bodies to entertain morality and degenerate for pleasure. Feminist and anarchist metaphors are fine, but far-fetched. The director...

      Czechoslovakia, in 1966, two 17-year-old girls trampled on food recklessly, seduced old men, expressed the deep desire of selfish and sensitive women, and the contradiction with reality. This is manifested in the alienation of this society, which makes human beings feel distant, panic and emptiness. Yes, the rules made by people, morality, politics, and everything brought about by the industrial revolution are things that deviate from people themselves. Thank you Zou Yi, Sister...

    Evaluation action

    Although the film uses the eyes of two girls with the same name to understand this unfamiliar world, the film is full of unexplained images, so it may have been a simple and innocent story, but it is buried in irony. Sex, in too formalized images   . (Time Net Review)
    "Daisies" is the most personal and visually striking work of the 1960s. The film is not only narrative chaos, but also breaks the rules of audio-visual language. With...
