Regardless of the meaning of the meaning [cat]

After watching this movie, if you ask the director what he wants to express and what its meaning is, then you will fall into the trap of Leo Karaks. He is proficient in film lenses, perhaps he is using films to pay tribute to the performing arts, to show the huge dream-making magic of the film, or to metaphor the life of human beings in a mask, or, it is meaningless, but the director leads the Queen’s magical Deni Lawan to play A cosplay game.
The game is opened by the director himself. The sleeper he plays opens a huge secret room: the cinema, the audience like a dead person, the children walking naked in the table, the mysterious big dog... the frame that seems unrelated to the movie is immediately brought out The surreal poetic atmosphere, the sound of ships in his ears, turned into a ship-shaped mansion, Oscar dressed up as a giant bid farewell to his "family" and entered his unusually busy dream day-a professional actor's day.
The rigorous and restrained female driver and assistant Selena brought him nine tasks, which is nine-dan role-playing. From dawn to midnight, he gathers the possibilities of various movie themes. This is a world where cameras have disappeared. The entire streets of Paris are stage scenes for performances. It is impossible to distinguish between true and false, who is the actor and who is the audience.
Karax directed the three-part film "Tokyo! In a section of ", the character Madman Dmitry also appeared in Oscar's performance mission. This section is the main feature of the trailer, because it is shocking enough to attract the attention of the world. The next story immediately brought the tone back to ordinary people: the father went to pick up the daughter who attended the first party in life. She was deeply inferior because of his ugly father's appearance (the playful face of Deni did not fit ordinary people's aesthetics). , Creating social barriers, and avoiding personality that made her lie to her father that she was like a fish at the party (the party played Kylie Minogue’s popular "Can't Get You Out of My Head" ten years ago). He asked, if you are sure I don’t know the truth, would you still lie? She said yes, and he asked why, she said, "At least for that moment, we are happy." Father took a cigarette, his eyes were red and he was in tears. He said that the punishment I gave you was "be yourself and go your own way." At this time, Oscar was obviously very deeply involved in the drama and was irritable. Fortunately, the "interlude" immediately made him vent his emotions. The director knows music very well. There is a wonderful long shot here. Oscar holding the accordion walks all the way in the empty castle hall. There are people holding various instruments joining along the way. The team is getting bigger and bigger, the music is getting more and more complicated, the shot I have been following the film in the front, in one go, just like a breath of the whole movie. The restored Oscar "killed" two people, once carefully designed and once improvised. His work is already indistinguishable from his life. Although he is frail and old, he still loves the "beauty of interpretation" and admires the female opponents in the "Russian Story" (this paragraph uses Shostakovich's music very posted ). The chance encounter with the former lover played by Kylie Minogue seems to be just to highlight the sadness of life as a play and play as a life.
Oscar’s last task was actually acting in his own home. His wife and children were apes, and Selena had to put on a mask after get off work. Recalling the appearance of the wealthy businessmen of Oscar in the opening movie, I couldn’t help but sigh: Will actors never leave work, ordinary Are people acting every day?

    Leo Karax: "Most movies are rubbish."-He has the capital to say this.

    Extreme irony, the more you discuss, the more confused you become - will this be the norm in life? Oscar is an actor who is immersed in disguising different skins every day to prove himself, but the more different roles he has, the more confused he is who is he and who he is. Reminds me of "Becoming John Malkovich" How can I find my true self when the body and soul are inconsistent? The composition of the cinematography is perfect as a textbook, and the soundtrack is also full marks. However, it is a bit too ingenious to express yourself through songs in the end. The soul is only 21 grams, so it is better to classify it as a movie like life. It is better to be pure like the last chimpanzee I want to express the meaning of returning to the source.
