The most artistic movie I have ever seen-I really love stay in this life

As a fan of suspense films, I have seen almost all classic suspense films. Suspense films are known for their exciting plots and unexpected endings. Among all the suspense films I have watched, the most impressive and unforgettable one is "Stay"-"Life and Death". The subject matter involved in "Stay" is not novel: about the connection between dreams and objective reflection and subconsciousness. Even compared to "Mulholland Road" of the same subject in earlier years, it is inferior in many respects. Despite all the shortcomings, it is still the best movie in my heart! The reason is that the film has rendered a kind of "atmosphere" brilliantly from the beginning to the end-enough to make people fall into it... unable to extricate themselves.
To create an atmosphere, music and camera switching are crucial. "Stay" is uniquely successful in these two aspects. The music of the film is blurred and sad, and it is natural to switch naturally with the changes of the environment and circumstances of the characters, but there is a shocking power-despair and sadness everywhere. Speaking of the lens, it is a major feature of the film. Almost the entire film uses the montage-style lens connection but there is no discomfort, and the feeling is appropriately rendered with a "dream-like fantasy" atmosphere. And this exactly echoes the main line of the film, which is what Sam said to Henry in the play: if this is a dream, the whole world is inside it. Even the color operation is extremely in place, dreamy and magnificent purple and weird. Green is the main color of the film. When I watched "Stay" again, it was like falling into the protagonist's dream...All kinds of emotions slowly flowed into the heart with the music-and was deeply shocked by the climax of the play!
With the perfect coordination of music and camera, the excellent acting skills of the actors are naturally indispensable. I also met Ryan Gosling, an outstanding and unique actor, because of this film. He plays a dying man (an artistic student) in "Stay", and the whole story is a dream while he is still alive. In the alternate shots, I didn't lose his figure. Instead, I deeply felt the beauty of despair and brokenness-the so-called "sublime" beauty in aesthetics, through the protagonist's emotional expression in the psychedelic. This is not so-called decadence-but a kind of "extreme" art. Just as the film quoted "An elegant suicide is the ultimate work of art." In my opinion, the film embodies this "extreme beauty".
The time he woke up from the dream was also when his world ended, but the protagonist finally got spiritual salvation. As a viewer, I finally woke up... The tears have dried up-but the emotions will not go away for a long time... The
movie "Life and Death Staying" is more than watching it as a thrilling suspense. Exquisite art.

    Live and die. Imitation Lynch style works, slightly worse heat.

    In the first 120 minutes, it was just a somewhat bizarre and straightforward story, but in the last ten minutes, there was a big reversal, subverting the perspective of the entire film.
