This is not a "Mother! 》”Death of the Sacred Deer” and other forced films, you may be indifferent to it, you may have never experienced it, a type of people who are ignored and abandoned by reality, muster the greatest courage to face life but find that they are unable to change at all. helplessness and self-loathing.

Reminds me of a sentence from "Walden": Most people live in peaceful despair, the so-called resignation is just a kind of despair.

You don't know what kind of courage the male protagonist showed when he went to save the girl, or what kind of despair he fell into when his efforts with the greatest courage were in vain, this feeling aroused me strongly The resonance of the film, like the title, you were never here, ridicule but true.

    The film was released in Cannes before it was finished. It was the first time I saw it. I watched a thriller for two consecutive nights... This audiovisual technique is also very proficient. The opening is a series of tight-knit close-ups with dense The drum-like soundtrack is very exciting. Except for the little girl, almost every actor played the corpse, the simple and rude blood show, and the melodious music was always played on the scene where the corpses were everywhere. Jackie was almost unrecognizable in his fat body. The plot still doesn't appeal to me

    The mixing of this film is very artistic. The mixing is a direct projection of the inner emotions of the male protagonist. The soundtrack reshapes the visual rhythm of the film and participates in the narrative. With the addition of an anti-type extremely simplified script, it constitutes the director's unique personal style. In the end, it was not the strong who saved the weak, but the weak who became the next victim with childhood shadows. It's not that the killer saved the prostitute, but the killer watched the prostitute become another self when he was a child.
