not confused

As a child who received a materialistic education since childhood, I firmly believe that there are no ghosts in the world. Therefore, the terrifying atmosphere created in this movie and the supernatural phenomena presented in this film are just the confusion caused by the tension and pressure of the heroine in my opinion.

Director Olivier Assayas, known as the representative of the "French post-new wave" film, still wants to explore the philosophical proposition of "knowing oneself" in this film. Some people find it difficult and difficult to understand, while others think it is extremely wonderful. And for me, just seeing the fur, the soul is not resonated at all.

Actress Kristen Stewart, whose personal style has always been cool and trendy. He always looked like he didn't care, and he was wandering in a trance. The state in this film is also the same, very confused, confused, and restless. In the words of Aunt Qiongyao, it is "a cloud". Cloud, who looks at ease and unrestrained, is actually very empty inside, wandering lonely in the world every day. And all the clouds were eventually either blown away by the gust of wind, or turned into rain and fell into the mundane world.

Movies with this tone always inadvertently move some people. It's a bit like "Lost in Translation", my emotions were inexplicably infected. And I, who have no feelings for this crazy film, should be glad I didn't understand it? At least at this moment, I didn't understand, I didn't question myself.

    In his study of discourse networks, Kittler argued that the typewriter of the 20th century disassociated personalities from written texts. The notes I made at the time (divergence) summed it up as follows: since the typewriter typeface was no longer subject to masculinity (characteristics), it was depersonalized, and women were given access to technology and words. For example, the works of many women writers are also not rejected by publishers as female handwriting. Assayas wrote so much about the relationship between mobile phone keyboard typing and women, especially when this woman was a psychic medium (see Peters's words on air and female operators) and a buyer who was an intermediary for the exchange of fashion culture. In fact, the audience can easily get what he wants to express - female consciousness, that is, why women are chosen to express their relationship with technology. But given that this horror atmosphere is really not my cup of tea, Samsung capped it. One more thing, how can Xiao K be so good-looking!

    Three Kristen films were released at the New York Film Festival: Certain Women, Personal Shopper, Billy lynn's Long Halftime Walk. She was amazed by her, and then Sils Maria was hired. The best actress born in the 1990s is not a vain name. Good taste, brave to break with "Twilight Girl", and became interested in her at once.

Personal Shopper quotes

  • Maureen Cartwright: [talking about her deceased brother] So we made this oath... Whoever died first would send the other a sign.

    Ingo: A sign? From- from the afterlife?

    Maureen Cartwright: You could call it that; you could call it a million things.

    Ingo: But... how do you know if it's a sign?

    Maureen Cartwright: I'm a medium. He was- he was a medium. I'll just know it.

    Ingo: Have you... communicated with spirits before?

    Maureen Cartwright: Um. Lewis thought they were... spirits. I'm- I'm less sure. But yes. Uh, somewhat.

    [gets off the couch to smoke]

    Maureen Cartwright: I mean there are invisible... presences... around us. Always. I mean whether or not they're the souls of the dead, I don't know, but... You know when you're a medium you just are attuned to some sort of... vibe.

    Ingo: What do you mean by- by vibe?

    Maureen Cartwright: It's an intuition thing; it's a feeling. You... You see this door... That's only like slightly, ajar.

    Ingo: Well... How's within that, that the soul... continues to exist... after death?

    Maureen Cartwright: I don't even know if I believe in that. But... Lewis did. And I- I have to give his... spirit -whatever you wanna call it- a chance to prove him right.
