The 16th #法罗岛电影节# The second screening day of the Nobody Known Unit will bring you "The Beast in the Cabinet". Below, please see how the frontline teenagers hiding in the shadows face the reality!
No one at midnight:
A living debut.
Zhao Xiaoqi:
The general good is not bad, but it is actually a youth film.
Hot cocoa with salt:
Vapid and cliche. This is exactly what an LGBTQ movie should NOT be.
Xavier-resistant to watching movies:
The description in the cabinet failed to penetrate into it, just like any story that happened during adolescence, and failed to give the audience a strong memory.
Her Majesty:
Only by taking out the useless Uganda and using it to lock the patriarchy firmly in the cabinet can we run out of the cabinet and embrace motherhood. The counterpoint between inside and outside the cabinet is quite interesting. Comparing several LGBT-themed movies in the nbcs unit, it is not difficult to see that "Drunk•Life, Dreams and Death" and "Orange" are counterfeit and shoddy products taken by straight men with curious eyes and a sense of superiority; "The Beast of the Middle" is a genuine product that is thoughtful and immersed in identity, filmed by a true gay director and actor.
psychopath.MN:
The depression and struggle of the soul finally return to explore the reasons for family and growth. All the outbursts and releases are attributed to the resentment and anger towards the father. Affected by the shadow of childhood, measures were taken to seek relief. However, the entire film has been emphasizing Oscar’s identity and the process of struggling, and the later imprisonment of the emotions of the father and son. It is ambiguity, which makes most of the emotional conflicts and depressive outbreaks somewhat incomprehensible.
The hamster was transformed into another self in Oscar's heart due to lack of emotion, but in the end, it was processed into something outside of emotion, which seemed very surreal and abrupt.
Bob Porridge:
cliche, cliche, cliche. kitsch, kitsch, kitsch. Talking with hamsters has actually become the driving force of the inner drama. Can this kind of tricks like the special shooting movies of the beginning of the century (Garfield, Mouse Laibao) really be used again? The two confirmations of identity through stereotypes (the way of looking at the hands) are over deliberate and decadent, and the typified character descriptions are uninteresting. The part of the party even needs to directly show that the male protagonist uses drugs to push it to orgasm. The forced borrowing seems to be the ability to distrust the image itself. Highly random emotions evoke unexpected and early warning, everything is over-designed, and at the same time not bold enough.
O. Yin:
It looks better than expected, the audiovisual stylization can make an impression, and the overall rhythm is still smooth. The intent of the text is too obvious. In order to talk about identity, a templated story can be created. The original family problems, encounters with ptsd, environmental public opinion, etc. can generally be thought of. Not to mention that the image of parents has failed. Pets open their mouths to outline their hearts, not to mention clumsy, they can't be regarded as fresh and advanced. The film’s persuasiveness is therefore lacking, and the impression is almost unsympathetic. The film is more like a grading person reading the test composition, except for the unfortunately section-the most irritating word I saw when I received the rejection letter is the surface Kindly unfortunately.
Psychedelic Muffins:
Oscar and Wilde. Although the plot is flat and straightforward, the three lines of childhood, parents and sexuality are conceived through the protagonist’s exploration of sexuality. The soundtrack of the first half of the movie is a bit earthy, but the electronic music later adds ambiguous lighting, close-ups and some metaphors, and the feeling is gradually coming up. I really like the sound of the hamster at the end of the movie saying that your parents changed me four times and the balloon exploding. What I like most about the whole movie is that the protagonist did not go to New York, the love was fruitless, and he did not get a happy ending, just like his mother said to him: you've never had it easy and maybe you never will. When you The moment when you decide to face your true self and life is when the dream bubble bursts.
Cuckoo:
A qualified youth film (actually a debut?), for the sake of Aliocha Schneider's face is worth seeing. The story structure is very simple. Family discord. The routine of this type of film is continued: a slightly lonely and innocent protagonist, who has the potential to be different from others, goes to parties with a paralyzed and depressed self, and has intimate and ambiguous moments with a crush. The audience may be pricked in some moments, maybe it is the fear of sexual orientation like a steel bar piercing the lower abdomen, or the involuntary clumsiness shown in front of the person they like. For me, it is the phrase "What's on your nails" that carefully and quickly conceals desire. The protagonist’s feelings of being bored with his father and disappointed because of the intimacy are handled in a very subtle way. The little hamster mentioned in the turning point of the ending actually does not know which number is changed (a gentle addition to this story), and may also take care of people. In my growth, sometimes I will be angry with the current life situation, feel lost and disappeared from the past; but sending the past away to welcome the new growth.
#FIFF16# The second day of the unknowing unit will be released later, please wait and see.
