Loneliness is the last infectious disease left by mankind in the 21st century

I'm thinking about two questions

1. Does the ghost exist?

2. Are humans afraid of being alone?

【Room】

Four stacks and a half is the last pure land of this era, even if it turns the otaku into a ghost. Chunjiang, who was watching the surveillance video, confronted the audience watching the movie. She embraced a void, but claimed that she was no longer lonely, just like you and me watching the movie.

A person prints out the A4 paper of the confined space and sticks it with red tape. This sense of ritual symbolizes that the living room has become an alienated space, which is dark and airtight, eternal death or quickly swallowed Tokyo like the plague , who would have thought that the beginning of the end times is in the room/monitoring?

【connect】

Everyone wants to save the other, just like Ryosuke took Chunjiang to escape late at night, Michi watched friends turn to ashes, and people are always building connections, but in Kurosawa Kiyoshi's eyes, it doesn't mean anything or change anything, he can What you do is always miss and witness, witness the death of others, and become others.

The occlusion of curtains and windows suggests that they are in different spaces from each other, the "help" phone is the doorbell of death, and the shadow is similar to the concept of mourning.

In general, I like it. There is no genre film element. The modernity of 2001 still exists today, and the two questions I asked at the beginning have no answers.

    In the first hour, you can feel terror because of the boring plot, and in the next hour, you gradually have a soul, but you don't feel terror at all. Does this prove that nothingness, unknown, and emptiness are the source of terror? After the film ends, the final freeze frame gradually shrinks, forming a "hui" character with the black background plate of the large frame. The "hui" consists of two closed square frames. The small two square frames just illustrate the endless loneliness, and the title "Circuit" is really subtle.

    The atmosphere in the front is very good, and the speaker cavity in the back
