A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence

"Which day is today? It is impossible to know by feeling. It depends on continuous recording. If you can't keep recording, then chaos will follow." A small extension of the meaning of this passage: Except experience , Seeing and experiencing the things around you in sequence or mechanically, what else can you expect in real life? The portrayal of "happiness" in the film, those greetings and tenderness that may be on the phone, are mostly limited to the form, chatting to masturbate. All the surrounding status quo is placed in a lifeless space, and the actors’ faces are like walking dead, presenting a pessimistic view of the current status of life and human existence in an all-round way. Questioning the closed social order or the shackles of reality, in other words, perceiving resignation and unconscious emotions are the only anger that exists as a human being. Interpreting tragedy with comedy, when serious reality encounters comical interpretation, forms the unique absurdity of the film. If the Chaplin-style tragicomedy is the result of the lack of material, the icy characters in "Hard Branches" are surrealistic tragedies in a spiritual world. The changes in time and space, grotesque characters, and even comedy rituals are the most profound strokes to outline and interpret the real dilemma.

5.0 Two brushes four to five, top ten candidates 71 Golden Lions, Roy's masterpiece. It is by no means a mystical, groundless truth. But the reset of the system, the contempt of the times, the peak of formalism, the history of Europe, absurd, ridiculous, and ironic. A mirror and a painting, like a series of exquisite early paintings, also seem to echo existence itself. The precise presentation of the fixed camera position, the dog is in the male and female, the cold branch is quiet, the alienation and trivial are all in the mirror image.

The black humor is very heavy. While shooting a sense of ordinary life, the staged pictures and character movements seem to be deconstructing the beautification of life by other literary and artistic works, haha. Cold, but emotional. I like the comparison of the types of death at the beginning. The bar fights a scene together, and the feeling of embarrassment and loneliness coexisting is also quite wonderful. Good movie no doubt.
