The movie "Pillow Book" tells you that the answer is: the human body.
There has never been a movie that shows a man’s body repeatedly exposed to us. It is unobstructed. The only difference is that the body is covered with handwriting. The handwriting, snakes and dragons, deep and shallow frustrations, delicate and rough, is like a piece of difference. His expression, falling into the eyes, is an art outside of the flesh, an aesthetic outside of pornography.
Movies often play with a variety of symbols. If each symbol fits a self-righteous perfect positioning in a different mind, this symbol is precious. With the cutting and piecing together of art, the techniques brought to us by "Pillow Book" no longer need to be analyzed, but the storyline gradually fades in the repeated layers, with only two impacts, as if a crack is suddenly inserted in the beautiful light and shadow. , It makes a chill.
One is the production of human skin books. Digging people out of the tomb, peeling off the shroud layer by layer, a human body full of calligraphy, although only a dead person, did not affect the perfection of art. Just cut the human skin piece by piece, bloody, picking meat, scraping fat, drying, flattening, binding, and canning. A human leather book full of texture is finished, and it may smell like a body. The flesh and bones that had been culled were put into garbage bags and sent to the garbage truck.
The other is that the fatalistic calligraphy of the human body has finally reached the last chapter. When the publisher saw "Chapter 13: The Book of the Executioner", he even stripped himself of evil spirits and put himself on human skin. Book, wait for the knife to pass. The human body calligraphy makes the fascinated person willing to obey the order and give up his life. It must be weird.
The film writes about the male body, the female body, written in Japanese, in Chinese, and also in French, English, Jewish... The film also shows the love of men and women, men and women, men and men, symbols and bearers have been rendered, one after another. The puzzling but imaginative impressionist oil painting was completed in this way.
The master's movies, sometimes like ancient Chinese poems, can only be read but cannot be explained. After explaining, it's like making Chinese paintings into prints. The paintings are still the same, but without life and artistic conception, they become vulgar products that can fill the streets and alleys at any time.
