blue eyes

I don’t watch many Nordic movies. Bergman’s impression is so obscure, and “Dancer in the Darkness” is too tragic. As a movie casual person, he will easily roll up the Nordic map and put it on the shelf. "Submarine" was opened by accident, on the computer.

Director Winterberg would be a poet if not a director. It is wise to choose a movie as a carrier, with a story dragging, if there is a slight tendency for emotional torrents.

Isn't a movie just about shooting people and telling people's emotions? The camera is like the eye of God, looking down on human beings with a smile, borrowing what the little boy said in the film when he mentioned his dead mother. In some movies, you will feel that the director doesn't like these characters. Of course you can dislike them. You can even make a movie about how you hate human beings, but don't pretend to like them.

Those eyes looked at how he was angry, how he was trapped in a room alone like a trapped beast, how he reunited with a friend, and how he treated women. What is the difference between this person selected by the camera and others? This person who accidentally touches the engine of destruction is really going to be destroyed, what will he do?

For a moment, he was looking at the camera. He wanted to know what the secret was there and why God arranged it this way.

Goodwill and danger are alike, and the cross is a blessing and a suffering.

The two brothers from the bottom are themselves the detonators and receivers of disasters. The older brother is angry, the younger brother is autistic. Both of them wanted to fight, but there was nowhere to do it. The elder brother can smash his hands even if he makes a public phone call, and the younger brother is a father and has a son to rely on. The seemingly innocuous person struggled the most, and in the end he committed suicide.

The bottom layer is not the bottom layer of evil, but it is very likely to be the mountain of goodness. Compared with the irritable brother and the cowardly younger brother, one has been in prison, the other is a drug dealer, and a small company employee is more than a hundred times more evil.

Some "bad people" are only weak in survival ability, or have no intention of survival at all, and their character is not inferior. There was the clearest blue in my brother's eyes.

The film begins with a ceremony where the brothers sprinkle holy water on their little brother's head and ends at his brother's funeral in the church. This is both a closed structure of a script and a return of faith and soul. People should be afraid. Sorrow is sublime.

    Stories about men are relatively forbidding, even if they are downcast. PS posters are too much like arctic monkeys!

    Nordic and Australian movies always reveal a sense of coldness, such as The Last Journey, Super Perfect Hell, Dancers in the Dark and Dogface Years. The camera is indifferent to the character's situation, and the character is indifferent to his own destiny. The objective, neutral and slow lens style is not the comfort of Hou Hsiao-hsien and An Zhe, but a thorough onlooker like Tsai Ming-liang. The low, bleak and damp picture makes people smell the smell of despair at once.
