Stare into the abyss too long, the abyss will stare back

The French "Cinebook" has just released its top ten films of the year:

① "First Cow" (2019) English ② "Annette" (2021) English ③ "Memoria" (2021) English, Spanish ④ "Drive My Car" (ドライブ・マイ・カー, 2021) Japanese ⑤ "France" (France, 2021) French ⑥ "The French Dispatch" (2021) English, French ⑦ "À l'abordage, 2020) French ⑧ "Girls" And the Spider (Das Mädchen und die Spinne, 2021) German ⑨ The Card Counter (2021) English ⑩ The Virgin (Benedetta, 2021) French

The cow at the top of the list has seen it last year or earlier, so let's look for the second place.

This fantasy story written by the American brothers Ron Mael (1945- ; Russell Mael, 1848- ) and directed by French German philosopher Friedrich Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, 1844-1900):

Und wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst,blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein.
—FW Nietzsche
Stare into the abyss too long, and the abyss will stare back.
- Nietzsche

Nietzsche's teaching is similar to what we call "what you want to do" and the " law of attraction " that modern Westerners talk about :

The Law of Attraction
(May all your wishes come true)

Should be the same thing. only,

Nietzsche's speech sounds chilling, and the Chinese people are happy to hear "what you want to do", and the "law of attraction" seems to be impartial.

If these three statements really mean the same thing, then you have to try not to think too much about everything, especially not to think about the bad, otherwise there is the possibility of becoming another "Annette's dad" - reason in imagination In front of him, he is not an opponent at all.

Perhaps, the Sacrament of Confession in Catholicism and the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism were also designed based on this kind of human nature.

This movie is nice.

    Pure cinematic experience. The beginning of a long shot from reality directly into the film, wonderful! The story is weak, but that's not the problem, I've always preferred a movie with a weaker story but more room for the director to play, but how about this one, the story-form framework is hollow, what to put in or Say something to express (emotion? It seems to be stuck somewhere that doesn't make it into or conveys from the movie. Still, you can't deny when you're struck by those pure cinematic moments and don't know what to think. The throbbing feeling of being overwhelmed, that's the charm of Karax, and the charm of cinema as a complete audiovisual art. PS Simon Helberg in, Adam Driver out.

    Carax and her daughter Nastya stand together and bid farewell to the hero and heroine into the drama. Will this self-disclosure be too obvious? I always think of Yekaterina Golubeva, whether the sudden death of the old soul has something to do with Carax, several scenes of Cotillard rushing towards the protagonist like a ghost, and the echoes in the movie are the shadows of the relationship between the two? This drug-loving and irritable life practitioner is full of remorse and guilt. The routine of encountering violent and gentle men and women is no longer romantic, and even her daughter will live to say goodbye to you, "No one will love you again. You have no one to love." The portrayal of a demon who doesn't know love and can't live, 130 minutes tells how he is a servant, too addicted to the character morbidity has always been a fatal disease of Carax, but film creation is not a cure, then It's a skill that can be handed over when it's almost ready, it's a big breath before recovery. It is to announce that people who are not loved by no one should stay in the movie world. Fortunately, you don't have to stay in this world, and finally travel with your daughter and friends to pay tribute to the Hundred Ghosts Night. I prefer to throw different life possibilities with Denis Lavant in Holy Motors.
