Ink-choice

I watched "The Last Night on Earth" a while ago, and many comments on the Internet were acclaimed. They talked about examples of long-lens applications. To be honest, Xiao D doesn’t understand film techniques. I just know that no matter what technique you use, it should be for What the movie wants to convey is to serve, not for skill. To be honest, the little D of this movie does not understand it. The two parts are split. I don’t know what the director wants to explain. Finally, little D gives it to There is such an evaluation: inexplicable editing, inexplicable logic, inexplicable themes, inexplicable shots, inexplicable film names, the director has successfully stunned the audience, awesome, powerful, "Muholland Road" has learned a lot. Okay, give you two stars.

So when Xiao D saw the ink, his feelings were even more profound. In contrast, in terms of shooting skills to set off the main idea, this small-cost movie dumped a few streets of "The Last Night on Earth" and conveyed things, It even makes "The Last Night on Earth" too late. A literary film is not as good as a science fiction film. I don't know how to say it.

Through simple props and unique shooting techniques, this film shows the scenes floating in three kinds of time and space. Dreams, reality, and different dimensions are intertwined without being scattered.

The story is not very complicated. The male protagonist John has been despised because of poverty since he was a child. He has a serious inferiority complex in his heart, which prompted him to enter the working society and become a drug abuser. Work 80 hours a week to obtain proof of career success. A madman of his own value ignored his wife and daughter. A car accident took the life of his beloved wife, and his daughter Emma was sentenced to his wife’s parents by the court.

After the daughter fell ill, the daughter's grandfather came to see John to see the sick daughter. The male protagonist refused. Starting from this point in time, the story entered a different space-time dimension. The movie introduces us to the time and space created by ink through flashback, and shows us the other two time and space through the parallel narrative of the story.

In the flashback time and space, he didn't go to see Emma, ​​but Emma died. He suffered more and committed suicide. His soul fell into another space and became an ink who could not remember his previous life. It may be because every floating soul is like this, and it is more likely that his own heart actively "chooses" in order to avoid pain.

Through the parallel time and space, the film tells a story of soul salvation, and asks whether family is important or work is important? What are people living for? A person can achieve salvation only through his own choice.

Everything is your choice. You can choose your career or your family. All rights are in your own hands.

The storytell in the movie can control the dreams of human beings and let people get anything they want in the dreams, but they can’t do anything about the real world. Even a powerful warrior who can change the past like Leiv can’t create history out of thin air. Promote the change of ink through influence. Only having dreams of spring and autumn can not change anything, only one's own choice can.

Only relying on pathfinder can affect the real world, but pathfinder can only promote the development of things through a series of small cause and effect, like dominoes.

Action can change

Some people say that pathfinders represent hope, and Little D just thinks that storytell is the real hope. They tell people’s best visions, but they can’t do anything about reality. Just like hope, they give people luminosity, but they can’t. Decide reality; and pathfinder should represent people’s actions. Only when you act can you find the way. Only by gradually accumulating a little bit of things can you finally achieve a qualitative leap; pathfinder has always been counting simple one, two, three, four, see He seems to be calculating, but is he saying that everything should be done simply from small things? His vicious language also seems to be saying that breaking through the comfort zone and starting to act is not a comfortable thing for people.

Chasing foreign objects too much is a kind of loss

If counted as ink, there are three drifters in the film, they are all lost, one is wealth, and in the dream time and space, the wealth he cherishes is waste factory buildings and scrap copper and rotten iron, one is fame or color, and After all, these will disappear. They can only be trapped in dream time and space. They cannot become storytells or nightmares. They can only become tools used by others. This is a long-lasting hell without goals.

Change must first accept yourself

What Leiv told Ink you can’t even accept yourself. Ink asks Leiv, “Why don’t you fight”; but fighting will only make you lose yourself even more. To wake yourself up, sometimes more is needed to think, as Leiv said , I choose to see who you should be, not who you are currently, you must choose too.

Destroying the last love is the real nightmare

In the movie, when the nightmare appears, the screen is used to replace the face, and it is gray, and the place where Storytell is located is beautiful nature. Maybe people have hope only when they return to the truth, but they always look pale when they pursue foreign objects. , Untrue.

Just like the mission of ink, if you want to become a nightmare, you must take the last trace of your own concern, the source of your last regrets-your daughter Emma, ​​as a sacrifice, completely thrown into the darkness, you will not have Pained.

    In fact, it's not obscure, but I just don't understand it, and I just don't understand it after reading the comments.

Ink quotes

  • John: Hamilton couldn't find a fat man in a county fair.

  • Jacob: You know the downward spiral is essentially a chain reaction.

    Allel: And nothing that comes out of your mouth makes any sense.

    Jacob: They're all reactions! One thing begets the next. A man has a weakness, he's flawed. That flaw leads him to guilt. The guilt leads him to shame. The shame he compensates with pride and vanity. And when pride fails, despair takes over and they all lead to his destruction. It will become his fate... Something's gotta stop the flow.
