I just put on red nail polish yesterday, and I clicked on "Transcendence" today. In life there are occasional fateful coincidences, aren't they?
"Red" is an important element in the film. Interspersed with large backgrounds and small objects. I remember listening to "The Tale of 24 Cities" in class two years ago, and a girl was particularly sensitive to discover the "red" hidden everywhere, saying that it was an allusion to "蠠". At that time, no one knew whether this was the case or not. Intentionally. Today is also the day of those red returns.
Erica's nails, the blood on the corners of her mouth and private parts when they first met, the needles from the hospital's test, the breakfast apple prepared for Henry.
Lockers in schools, hospitality tables at parent meetings, chairs in classrooms, storage boxes on podiums.
Circle the red pen of "YOU SUCK", Henry's cup, and the wall of the principal's house.
Meredith blood. Patricia's face.
All are red. What does red really mean?
As a color of strong tension, red has a strong sense of delusion, appeal and emotion. Red has no direction. Red is blood, the circulation of blood is life, and the loss of blood is death. Red runs through life and death. Red is a borderline state, representing a boiling or zealous peak before the impending collapse.
Every now and then there is the smell of blood, the smell of iron - if red is mentioned in some cases, those are associated with fear, violence, anger. But red is inseparable from heat, vitality and justice. So red itself is already a mirror of itself - it never gets bored even when it babbles to itself.
The red lingering in the film probably also means these two layers. We live because of the existence of these reds ("trouble"), and we hate existence because of their existence. That is, feeling existence, doubting existence, disengaging from existence.
Erica is the reverse, she meets Henry under the red wall and gradually moves away from being out of being and feeling being there. Meredith was not lucky. She also met Henry, but she inevitably fell into the abyss. This is very helpless. As a "medium", Henry has never changed. He maintains the original stern and unmoved gentleness, and strives to respect everyone.
Therefore, the salvation between people is only a wandering possibility, and there is no primitive necessity. This kind of salvation even has a cruel timeliness, and it cannot last a lifetime once and for all.
Zoom in and zoom out are like pseudo-record styles, with a little voyeurism. Kind of like nesting dolls with Meredith film photography.
Dizziness is a common problem with hand-cranked cameras, but this time it was inexplicably comfortable, as if breathing their breath. The moment when the camera suddenly shakes is like a sudden awakening from a dream, silently thankful that he is outside the painting and not in it.
Adrian's face is like a statue, restrained and emotional. If you have taken his class, who can not fall into a crush that cannot be extricated.
