The language of the lens is beautiful

I really like the movie with such beautiful lens language. I can go back and watch each scene five or six times (mainly because Tadzio is too beautiful).

There is very little dialogue in the movie, and there is not even a word between the two male protagonists. Almost all the emotions and stories are expressed through the actors' gestures and actions, and the actors are also extremely accurate. The most dialogue is the male protagonist's argument with his friend, arguing whether art is spiritual or sensual, pure or ambiguous with sin. Taking off the label of gay movies, as an artist who only believes in spiritual beauty, Gustav was only attracted by the beauty of the Greek gods in Tadzio, and he finally felt what his friends called "sensual beauty" , that is "with the gift of sin", is a work of art, he is even a born artist himself.

Tadzio seems to be too symbolic, a god-like beautiful boy, but those beautiful and mysterious, who are always at a distance, the most deadly attraction, if they are carefully portrayed, they will be lost and fascinated. of power.
