Looking at everyone’s short comments before, I found that some people commented, and the soundtrack is a bit awkward. After watching the movie, I wanted to give full marks to the soundtrack that scared people and animals at all times. It seems to be the kind of psychiatric fantasies, if you have to describe the feelings you have heard. Especially in the last scene, the dictator finally walked from his childhood to the front, beating the gongs and drums, even if the camera does not turn, the soundtrack makes people feel dizzy, and in conjunction with the last scene, it seems that the camera has tuned into a whirlpool and ears. That kind of mania, blending into one, is simply a rhythm that scares you to sleep at night every minute.
But I don’t know if I don’t understand? At the beginning of the movie, it directly enters the plot of Prescott hitting the priest with a stone. I thought at least foreshadowing. Of course, my hope is to tell me what caused Prescott to become a dictator. However, the director said that if he wanted to show the birth of a kind of fascism, he might just regard Prescott as the embodiment of this intention, so maybe he didn't know what caused fascism. Of course, Prescott became like this, it may be a change in the environment, or his father’s work (maybe he was next to his father and saw something evil prematurely). One of the things that came up was that the priest was slammed at the church door and refused to apologize. Still quite shocking.
Also, Prescott asked mother if he loved the church more than he loved him. Although I don't know what caused him to have this idea, but because of this, he was very scared and had nightmares and wetting the bed.
Later, Ada, she came out, of course there was a play. And Prescott showed a lot of affection for her. In the end, Ada seemed to have a leg with her father, and it hit Ada deeply. So, he saw Ada flirting with his father, he was very hungry and refused to eat Nope.). Later, he actually drove Ada away in his own way. And what mother said to Ada is also intriguing. She asked Ada if she wanted to be a teacher. Is this what she wants now? Ada said yes. Mother was very emotional at the time, saying that Ada was like her when she was young. When Mother asked his father if Ada was teaching him French, she should have discovered Ada and his father's sneaky, but she didn't expose it. Instead, help his father demonstrate. After that, Prescott felt deeply hurt and should officially break with his mother. This is the place. Mother still treats him as a child, but she didn't know that he was in love with him, but found out that his father had preempted him. I think Prescott at least feels that he has been cheated by both his parents. But when Prescott told his mother that he no longer needed Ada, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. Mother is a little surprised and happy about her son's sensitivity and intelligence.
The magical existence of Ada, the last shot before going down to lead the chicken leg was amazing to me. Behind her is a ray of warm sunlight, tears in her eyes, pear blossoms and rain, but the expression on her face is stubborn and very beautiful.
In addition to this shot, the other thing is that after Prescott hit the mother and fell on the stairs and fell down, the dizzy shot of the final scene. Very feel.
ps: The movie actually talks about Paris before the signing of the Versailles Treaty. This is simply the eye of the storm. I have seen a movie about Gu Weijun before, and I have watched this from a red and dedicated perspective. In this movie, from the priest's mass, we can see that in Paris at that time, almost every hair is permeated with political meaning. About the Versailles Treaty in our eyes is a shame to China. And foreigners are the petri dishes of fascism.
