In the first 20 minutes of this film, there is almost no dialogue, and it is indeed not easy to attract people into the play, showing that the hero played by Rob Pattinson is working hard. until he starts. . . Take a plane. . . As the character starts to go mad in his lonely and hard life, the movie starts to get interesting, and it ends up being a movie that visually shows a psychopath going mad, completely hysterical madness. At the end of the day, you have to calm down when you walk out of the theater and make sure you don't go crazy with it.
An island, two men, a flock of goddamn seabirds, what could happen? If the lighthouse in Aquaman was the beginning of a beautiful fairy tale, this one tells a dark and icy tragedy. This isn't a fantasy movie, it shows how two psychopaths go mad and use the visions in their heads to create an atmosphere of horror.
The most terrifying content of the film actually comes from smearing and blackening all the good things in life, creating a hell-like living environment, and creating an illusion that makes you nauseous. Prison is definitely better than here. For example, if it is an ordinary movie, even if the food on the table is presented in black and white, it can still be tempting and the atmosphere can be warm, but in this movie, a boiled lobster looks like a piece of shit, even drinking it The water is hard to swallow. Every time I thought there was something bright and hopeful about to appear, there was an instant transition from something beautiful to something cold and twisted.
Sometimes it's really hard for me to judge whether some already disgusting things become more disgusting and terrifying when they become black and white, or whether the visual impact is weakened. You may think that the original blood-splashed image would be easier to accept if it were turned into black and white? In fact, this is not the case when watching this film. The sense of horror has not weakened at all, but it has become darker and colder.
While visually grueling, it's nothing compared to what the two protagonists suffer. When watching it, I only feel that the two actors really paid a lot for the film, and it is hard to imagine what they experienced in some scenes. He threw himself into a shit hole and was driven into a madman. I feel that #robert pattinson# 's performance is very devoted, put away his shy smile, regardless of his appearance and voice, he is detached from himself, and it is guaranteed to make you feel his sorrow and pain from beginning to end.
I do agree that both male leads deserve the Oscars for their acting skills, but I definitely don't want to see this movie a second time. Even I don't think it's for everyone, it's very experimental, it seems too convulsive, and you keep asking yourself while watching: "Why am I torturing myself with such a crazy and nauseating movie?! "
So in the end, what is the film saying? Maybe, even if there is a lighthouse, there is no way to give light and hope to some people who have sunk?
I'd love to see him nominated for the Best Actor Oscar with Joaquin Phoenix, so it's Batman vs Joker
