The 6th screening day of the main competition unit of the 12th #Faro IslandFilm Festival# will bring you "The Face of Others", and the following will bring you the false and real evaluations of the people who pretend to be on the front line!

swipe:

Kind of like "Masquerade".

Queen of the Faroe Islands:

The absence of the ego trades for the safety of the mask, until it is replaced by the mask.

Fruit trees:

The biggest charm comes from the core of the script. There are many flaws in the completion, but it still can't stop the shock caused by the unique presentation of the film.

Nofan:

Repeated many times, changed many times, and evolved the inner shape in repeated exploration. People's eyes can only see your appearance, all the contours, all the outside, can not represent a person's true heart.

Bat bat:

The whole movie is an experiment, testing the relationship between people and masks, how much control masks can control over people, and how high a person's mind can reach. Philosophy too.

Sugar Free Tucao:

Faces are appraised, sold, copied, deceitful senses are deceived, and moral disintegration under concealment is the pleasure of false freedom. The loneliness of the individual merges with the group, transcends gender, and people disappear cognitively, and then die physically. Behavior shapes me, masks shape people, fear, acceptance, fall.

sparrow:

The symbolic meaning of the face and the mask is very dialectical. It is the collision of aesthetic taste and existentialism. Everyone has a different face as a symbol, and the individual value under the mask is discussed. While focusing on the use of surreal techniques, stage setting, dual-line narrative and experimentation, it has caused philosophical reflection.

The song is wrong:

Under the mask is a restless and inferior soul. The mask brings out the other side, blurring the boundaries between morality and immorality. The role of the doctor as a servant is also struggling on the edge of freedom and closure. The wife's departure is a mask (others) are like beasts. The inevitability of immoral freedom, the sense of alienation brought by the mask is the inducement of all collapse, the main and sub-lines that have no intersection form an intertextual text, a double tragedy in different spaces.

Midnight no one:

Cold, sneaky, evil, whoever wakes up at night, who goes to change a face during the day, engraved on the texture of the skin, is finally written into your body in a deeper way. "I have seen you in the fog, like behind a milky glass, you are close but far away; I have seen your pale skin in the moonlight, you are so close but still a stranger." When you are used to people, lies are taken as truth; when people are used to masks, you don't have to break them when you see through them. We need the eyes of others to confirm "who I am", and we desperately long for "I" to be free; we are excited by being invisible to the world, and we are lonely and trembling by being unfamiliar to the world.

Pours full of Zhao +:

like. Women can admit to wearing makeup, why are you pretending the mask is real. The experiment was interesting and the results were interesting. In the past, a teacher asked what acting was, and when the answer was given, it was acting under the watchful eyes of others. We are growing up and living, and we gradually seem to forget that we are in a state of performance in some occasions, even in the face of the people closest to us. Slowly and even by inferences, we exchanged the reality of others through our performances. Why must the performances exchanged be real? One day when I tried to take off the mask, I was also submerged by the huge lonely faceless sea. Now, do we still have a real face behind various social networks?

George:

I chose it as the background for live before, and I have a special emotion for the movie. Not a single wasted character, not a single wasted line, the literal title and the "title" of the entire work despite being philosophical and even philosophical (guess the director was influenced by Levinas' Face of Otherness ? Doubtful), but completed this proposition task well in a small amount of space (the male protagonist, the doctor and the wife each undertake a triple understanding), and the richness of the structure below the story is amazing. There are still many subtleties in the excitement. The one that impressed me the most is the feeling of walking on the street after the hero changes his face. He can no longer feel the wind. There is a barrier between me and the world.

supremacyacron:

The skin of my habitat is the face of others. Since the male protagonist put on the mask, he seemed to be manipulated by him. With the constant reliance on the mask, he gradually lost himself, and gradually moved from a prank to his wife to a real sin. In fact, in this film, Edict Kawara Hiroshi not only describes such a story, but also discusses the ethical dilemma under the domination of faces. This society is a society that sees faces. If the original appearance is lost, then the meaning of its existence will be lost. Was greatly discounted, and eventually fell into endless self-pulling. In addition, the film's bizarre soundtrack and the story line of another girl also cast a thick shadow over this ethical dilemma, and the settings of many plots also have certain speculative significance.

Pincent:

It is an observation of modern society. Most of the first half is spent in the purely spiritual discussions between doctors and faceless people, husbands and wives, as if to simulate the form of a sociology documentary program. Aurally and visually eerie and captivating, the clinic's grotesque theatrical sets always seem to have objects suspended in mid-air due to the chosen camera positions. Rather than saying that the film is very experimental, it is more like a pseudo-documentary of an anthropological moral experiment that goes deep into the world. Maybe the inspiration comes from the topic of women's makeup. Society advocates appearance. Everyone walks with a skin bag, and this skin bag will in turn affect people. The identity rebirth brought by the skin bag is what makes people regain their freedom. Or bring people a mirror that accelerates the realization of self-emptiness and loneliness. How the relationship between flesh and spirit affects the individual's position in the family and society. If we put the topic at the moment, what kind of relationship do our identities, nationalities, and labels put on our bodies have with us, and what kind of ambiguity they have.

#FIFF12#DAY6's main competition magazine score will be released later, please wait and see.

  • Mrs. Okuyama: Isn't humility better than vanity?

  • Psychiatrist: You'll feel better soon. Once you're used to the mask, you'll be a new man -- one with no records, no past. A mind invisible to the world.

    Mr. Okuyama: I'm me!
