      Said what Camus said, but the level of what he said was different

      The idea is interesting, but it’s a bit rough in all aspects. I always feel a little less. The climax at the end is the bright spot, but I didn’t close my mouth very well at the end. It’s a bit unsupportable. Overall, it’s okay to shoot this kind of theme. After all, Camus is at this level. It is not difficult for a director Matsumoto to explain the meaning clearly, and the depth is in place, but it is not so delicate, which affects the perception.

      Japanese mind

      A room full of xx, which honestly was supposed to be scary, but the story is endearing because of the hilariousness of the performers. Each xx represents the growth of human beings, and the keys, etc. represent the wisdom of human beings.

      In the end, the male protagonist gets the key and rushes out of the house, which means that the wisdom of human beings is the highest in the universe, above human beings.

      But this kind of film is not suitable for watching on the big screen, only...

      Symbolism in the film.

      There are spoilers. The name of the
        
        film is symbol, so there are many symbols in it. When I first started watching the Mexican episode, I thought I went to the wrong cinema~ That line is very similar to Jack Black's wrestling priest. After seeing it, I felt that this Mexican line was just a pretense and useless.
        
        Matsumoto's line, I feel is a person's growth. Because there are three subtitles in the film, namely education, implementation and future. The little...

      Great speechless. . . Very absurd movie.

      1. The film has two lines that do not meet at all.

      One is the home of a Mexican wrestler

      One is pajamas for men

      1. A wrestler has a family, a naive son, a rebellious daughter, a family-friendly wife, a kind father, everything is so beautiful. And the upcoming opponent is very terrifying and may lose everything.

      2. Men in pajamas have three stages, practice, practice, and future.

      See the big from the small, and have fun in time

      I don't want to make the movie too complicated, the whole movie is very enjoyable, and it is suitable to watch at double speed. Takasu Guangsheng's script is good. I even finished reading it in one go when I was hungry. The comics in it are funny and suitable for regular viewing.

      The beginning was fine, but the rest of it was more bland. Could it be because I didn't care enough for God? ! sin sin. ....

      The English title Symbol makes the content of the film too obvious. In the beginning, it was the portal of the bird, and in the middle was the uncle who was chasing the...

      Recommended for four stars. Even if there is no theme, it is still a large-scale installation art. The one-man show is similar to performance art, which makes people laugh, not to mention the golden idea of ​​surreal God's creation, and there is a little philosophy in the absurd. The final interpretation of the interspersed story is a bit thunderous, and the whole is not very developed at the end, otherwise it will be a small magic...

      2009, Japan. Director: Matsumoto Chi. I thought it was going to tell two stories, but there is still a clever combination at the end, but I didn't expect it to be true, but this combination is a bit weird~ On the absurd, weird, curious, weird, funny, etc. in Japanese film and television It can be said to be among the best in the world~~, and this is the same, that is, the strange feeling is integrated into it. Although this kind of film does not have high commercial value, it has high experiment
