I ask myself hundreds of times a day, what the hell am I doing, but I'm still doing the same thing tomorrow as I did today. In fact, sometimes, the summary is not important, the important thing is to move forward unswervingly, not to be trapped in the past, and not to be controlled by yourself.

I have seen many people complaining all day long. While complaining about the poor treatment in the unit, they went to work the next day and asked him why. He always said, there is nothing else to do! People who do this generally have two mentalities. The first is that they are cowardly and do not know how to move forward. The second is that pretending to be forced is actually showing off. But what is certain is that, no matter which of the two, the situation he faces is not as hard for him as he tells it.

The real suffering is indescribable. It's the "fear" that the male protagonist wrote between half-dreaming and half-awake, the guilt he couldn't face when facing the death of his friend, and the guilt he couldn't face when he saw his beloved female protagonist on the platform. Feeling of powerlessness when chasing a car. This kind of suffering, he will be afraid when he dreams back in the middle of the night, and he will be trapped in the cage that he has set for himself for twenty-five years.

This is especially true for the boyfriend of the murdered woman. He keeps persuading the male protagonist to forget about this incident, because there are some memories, the real ones will not make us happy, so although he imprisoned the heinous murderer, he made up a four A bullet solves his memory to support his own life...

People always need an exit. Just like the movie "K Star Stranger" I analyzed earlier, when the reality is so powerless that we can't change it, we always have to find an outlet. The male protagonist chooses to bury his guilt deep in his heart and not face it, and the infatuated male The friend insisted on making up a four-bullet lie for himself, even though he had to face the murderer he hated every day. When the two met, they both agreed on a statement: It's complicated.

There are many places in the film that shocked me. The reason why I chose this point to cut in is because I have a deep feeling about this point. The reason why everyone is the way he is now, there must be something in it. The bottom of his heart supports his, even if he is a muddy, deep down in his heart, he must have an understanding of his current behavior, even if this understanding is not objective at all.

The shooting of "Mysterious Eyes" is also very particular. During the early dialogue, the area covered is very large, and the shooting angle is not unusual. The long lens of portable photography during capture can be called a classic. , It was not until later, after all things were lifted, that the normal angle was restored during the dialogue.

The best foreign language films at the Oscars are all very good-looking. I always feel that the best foreign language films at the Oscars have a good balance of artistry and commerciality, and they are all excellent works.

    That performance, that look, that cross-narrative, that photography, that detail, that long shot, are all mysterious existences.

The Secret in Their Eyes quotes

  • [first lines]

    [English subtitles]

    Benjamín Esposito: [voiceover] On June 21st, 1974, Ricardo Morales had breakfast with Liliana Coloto for the last time. For the rest of his life he'd remember every single detail of that morning. Planning their first vacation... Drinking tea with lemon for his nagging cough... with his usual lump and a half of sugar. The fresh berry jam he'd never taste again. The flowers printed on her nightgown... and especially, her smile. That smile like the sunrise... blending in with the sunlight on her left cheek...
