The first time I saw a film in this form, it was incredible. The most special thing about the film is that its story progression is carried out with frame-by-frame still image jumps. The unique perception brought about by the stagnation of the picture makes the audience aware of the existence of the flow of time, which is in line with the theme of the film "time travel", which makes the audience feel an indifferent sense of alienation from beginning to end, and also makes the audience feel like an experiment The hero of the product is ordinary, his memory is fragmented, he may be in a new situation in the next second, he may be pulled back to reality again, and then put back into the past or the future. Only this moment that is still in the present moment is real, and it may disappear at any time.
I think this form of innovation is not a myth, it is very expressive. In this special form, "Dike" almost perfectly expresses a bizarre and twisted sci-fi world in just half an hour, a short, beautiful and sad love, the indifference, pain, powerlessness and confusion of people living in a chaotic society. And the psychological state of fear, and the beautiful and bitter complex mood of falling in love.
I love Dyke, its casting, cinematography, soundtrack, narration, and editing are surprisingly satisfying to me. I am especially fascinated by the short dating clips in this short film. I keep replaying the episodes of the park, the sleep and the herbarium. Every frame of it is so beautiful that I suffocate. I breathe the stagnant air and forget the strange horror Human's laboratory, forget this apocalyptic society, until the next frame is pulled back.
