Draped Jungle Memories

It's a draped jungle reminiscence. Even if there are ghosts and beasts, it will not disturb the slow and stagnant life rhythm of the people in the play, because the old, mutilated and sick body no longer changes with the changes of the external world. Fragmented images are like childhood memories, imaginations, legends, fears, adventures, distant but clear, clear but illogical. Or that we shouldn't think about it with the logic of the ordinary world at all. Apichatpong's memories about his uncle are three-dimensional and complicated. Each fragment seems isolated and unrelated, but it is all shrouded in an aura of nostalgia. Those transcendent and bizarre plots are naturally inserted into the bland, trivial, and even boring country life, without justification or foreshadowing. From the everyday documentary-like truth to the truth of the inner image, everything shows the director's heaviness and patience, because this reproduction is neither artificial nor hypocritical. This makes the viewer have to abandon the bizarre mentality in the illusory image, and really settle down and enter the life described in the film.

Innovativeness is weaker in Api's movies, and storytelling is stronger in his movies. Of course it is relatively speaking. It is still the motif of Apichapon-style movies: religion and mysticism. Light and photography are still super strong. Impressing Westerners still stems from the Eastern spectacle in the film. Personally, I feel inferior to tropical diseases and love syndrome, but the ending is still a bit touched.

The princess took off her veil and immersed in the water to copulate with the catfish; the monk took off the robes and dipped her body in the water to wash her body. Uncle Bumi took out the redundant things and returned to the womb to wait for the deadline to come. You and I will be mortal, one day you will unload the jewels, gold, silver, patriarchal ethics, and secular memories. How do I cross the chasm of reincarnation, cross the barrier of yin and yang, wading through the muddy swamp, turning into a red-eyed ghost monkey, and watching TV that will never end with you on a chatting and laughing summer night.
