7 points. I really like this movie, it's bizarre, full of all kinds of bad tastes, and it has a strong sense of irony, but everyone must not see it as a movie with a deep thought, treat it as a movie. From the perspective of the film, you will get great pleasure in the process of watching. The movie incorporates a lot of popular elements, but at the same time, it also severely blacks out a handful of popular elements. The most intuitive one is the show shot of shit. You think the lead singer of those bands is profound and thoughtful, but in fact he and a shit Same. The later scene about the composer is also a great irony. The person who wrote Ode to Joy and Nirvana is the same person. The movie also pays tribute to and uses a lot of classic movies in the movie. I will not list them one by one here. The director is also very unfriendly to the city of Los Angeles. In the director's eyes, the city is a city full of skunks and superficial. Hollywood is a sensual field. The irony of Los Angeles is not a director who has done this. Damien Chazelle expressed similar sarcasm in Burst and La La Land. Another point, the last part about the rich people's pursuit of immortality and spiritual sublimation, I personally think it has a bit of Montenegrin meaning. Let's talk about the creation of suspense and horror. This movie is undoubtedly very good. During the whole viewing process, you will have various conjectures, and the combination of virtual and real is quite good. You can't distinguish between reality and the story in the comics. Which one is true , those things are reality, those are the brain world of the male protagonist. Until the end, after the ending is revealed, you can't see the whole picture in the movie, everything is still at the bottom of the lake.

    The whole film is about how Garfield, played by the fat otaku, was driven by the "stream of lust" to decipher popular culture. The reason why it is said that the protagonist is driven by "sex" is naturally because sexual symbols and many bodies used for staring are ubiquitous, such as the female body that is stared at by men, and the body that the male protagonist himself is automatically exposed when he enjoys sex. Outside of sex, the protagonist's body is repainted with pop culture (putting on a trendy T-shirt), and the background is inter-constructed. Unfulfilled sexual desire becomes the cause of his actions, and he is looking for a woman who has not had sex, because the object on which to project desire has disappeared. The reason for her disappearance is that she was summoned by the powerful and the forces of evil. After ups and downs, this pop culture-fed otaku figured out the unreachable, having sex with a parrot hippie woman (a typical image) on the day the rent (manipulation) was due, looking back at the empty rental house, feigning Escaping ideological manipulation, he thinks he is on the other side of "freedom", but he may have forgotten that this is the hippies.

    After discussing it with Song Qi, I felt that the reason why I fell asleep was that the male perspective was too full, and I could not take care of the sexual extension of women at all; if it was replaced by the female protagonist with more male counterparts, I might be able to survive...

    Sam: Could any of this be connected to Sarah?

  • Bar Buddy: Used to be - a hundred years ago - y'know, any moron could kinda wander into the woods and look behind a rock or some shit and discover some cool new thing, y'know? Not anymore. Where's the mystery that makes everything worthwhile? We crave mystery, 'cause there's none left.
