If u like Douglas Sirk, there are so many elements to be reminiscent of. The assertive color contrast in the climax is absolutely fabulous. The use of green color mixing with red and blue is absolutely from Douglas Sirk but also fits into the movie. What's more, it makes the movie feel “young”. The change of frame ratio is very bold and is strongly expressive together with the high pulsed editing.
What's more, a worth noticing fact of the movie: it's the first movie that makes me feel the insertion of phone screen actually moves the plot and affect the audiences in terms of emotion. It connects me so well with the regular phone use in my real life instead of distracting me away from concentrating in the character. Good job. It gives me a vague prophecy of the possible direction of future popular cinema. And I believe it's a right direction to go.
