Add different attributes before people to give them different identities: beauty, writer, mother, daughter, wife, childhood partner. These kinds of identities are sorted in descending order of independence: a beauty is a beauty, and the gazes of others will only make her face hot or calm, and will not detract from her beauty and independence; when a writer writes a text, she can choose to The client compromises, surrenders to the reader's taste, or not; as a mother, the added responsibilities include preparing enough nutritious breakfast for a couple of children in the morning, even if she is running late for work; After being a mother, I still rely on my mother to solve the psychological horror that I can't tell and the marriage is on the rocks; I am in a marriage relationship with a man, and I establish "self" in the eyes of my lover, and independence is built on the identity of my partner. In terms of the pitifully little freedom that can be given, no matter how hysterical you still need to take care of the other half's emotions; the other little beauty who held hands in childhood, so many years have passed, it seems that you are yourself, you can't be independent, she is Paranoid you. People always have to be in relationships with others, and "identity" is about how individuals establish "self" in their interactions with others.
Then use Milan Kundera's existentialism to ask Sophie Marceau or Monica Bellucci, who have different identities in this film at the same time: Who is dreaming? Who dreamed of this story? Who conceived it? Is it her? her? Or the two of them? Or are they just imagining each other? When did their real life turn into this perilous fantasy?
Exactly at what moment did the real become unreal and the reality became a dream? Where were the borders at that time? Where exactly are the boundaries?
There are all kinds of suspense in the movie and a sense of incompatibility. At the end of the film, it finally proves that it turns out that Zhuang Sheng dreams of butterflies is not Zhuang Zhou who dreams of butterflies. If the dream is real enough, man has no ability to know that he is dreaming.
Just woke up from the dream in the movie. Many times, it is life that makes us fall asleep, and it is life that makes us wake up.
Did Sophie Marceau suddenly find that everything around her was changing? Not necessarily, when the editor told her that we had to do what the client asked us to write; the kids, the husband and the mother couldn't bear their worsening anxiety, it all made her feel like she was suddenly another The factor that a person lives in another person's life is not necessarily the accumulation of unpleasantness that one always encounters in the world.
When this accumulated to a certain amount, she suddenly found that everything around her was changing. The faces of her relatives gradually became the faces of strangers, and the living environment in her memory suddenly changed. The photos and videos on her wall All of himself became Monica Bellucci.
From the very beginning of time, the black-haired Monica Bellucci lived in Italy with her biological mother, a blonde woman, her brother, and her father. When she was 8 years old, her father found out that she was not his own child. To a friend in France, Sophie Marceau's mother for adoption. On the way, the picture of the man driving for them drinking alcohol flashed by, and the car in front couldn't dodge in time--so the two girls' clasped hands loosened, and blood flowed down one hand. Those of you who are familiar with metaphors should know that Sophie Marceau is dead.
It is very strange to digest surprises in childhood. According to Freud's research, childhood experiences affect individual psychological development. And in Monica's subconscious, the long-haired, dark-haired and gorgeous self became the dead friend, the blond and snow-skinned little Sophie Marceau. Very extreme, she even subconsciously replaced her own face, that of her mother and husband. She lived as an imaginary Sophie Marceau, and the face of her adoptive mother became the face of her own mother, because it would not It will again involve the reality that Sophie Marceau died in the car with her adoptive mother; her husband's face was also replaced by the little boy who was in the car at the time of the car accident. And this dream of Zhuang Sheng dreaming of a butterfly is a dream that lasts thirty years.
That's when the movie officially begins.
Why is the movie titled Don't Look Back. Come to think of it, in fact, there is no such image of looking back in the movie. Maybe the director wants to tell us that life is a Mobius circle. A paper circle with only one face and a closed curve as the boundary: one end of a rectangular strip of paper is twisted 180°, and then the front and back of one end are glued together, and it will have only one face. People are in the Mobius circle, and this cycle is accomplished without crossing any boundaries. At this time, if you look back and find that the road you have traveled turned out to be true and false, and falsehood is more real than reality. Could it be more terrifying than seeing the facial features of another woman slowly appear in your own face, until the two strangely combine, and finally, in the struggle and twist, become the appearance of another woman?
I was very impressed with the weird ten minutes when Sophie Marceau's face slowly showed Monica Bellucci's face. During this time, the strange face of this hybrid has also burst into public places to kiss the mother, crying for help, and kissing her husband, and going to bed and making love gives us a glimpse of the scattered fragrance. Whether it is relatives or others, they seem to turn a blind eye to her change. Only she herself is in an atmosphere of horror and suspense. I think this is the most depressing feeling when you realize that you are changing, and at the same time find that even your closest people can't notice your change. This change, the film uses an extroverted method - face change to express. But in fact, in real life, what is lonely and painful is to find that your heart is overturned and no one can notice it.
Who are we actually fighting? In fact, what is the difference between the opponents in their 30s and 40s and the opponents they faced when they were young.
