1. Director Luca Guadagnino told The Hollywood Reporter that "The Wind and Wind" is his most personal movie. The main reason is the method of the movie, because everything starts from it.

2. Because the British Royal Air Force and the German Crimson Faction are abbreviated as RAF, so some viewers will be surprised by certain plots. For example, why is the Royal Air Force going to hijack the plane?

3. In the remake of David Gordon Green, Isabella Furman (the heroine of "Orphan Grudge") originally played Susie Bannion; Isabel Huppert played Mrs. White.

4. In order to help distinguish the old version from the new version. In most cases, the director chose not to use the bright colors in the original work, but to use wintery, dull, lifeless tones.

    The aesthetics of gay men can’t be denied. From cmbyn’s ancient Greek handsome face and masculinity to suspiria’s cold war Berlin’s female heroism, I really feel that gay directors are good at capturing personal sexual charm (but it is difficult to see a well-known masterpiece from a lesbian Director, perhaps the base of female directors is relatively small)? In addition, Luca also attaches great importance to the construction of the background of the story. Although cmbyn is located in an Italian countryside like a paradise, in the mansion with strong academic atmosphere, the two protagonists exchanged enough philosophical ideas, it can be seen that the editor ( Of course, the screenwriter is a Harvard graduate, and he has an enviable amount of knowledge.) The directors have made great efforts to shape the characters. The story of this film takes place in Berlin in 1977. The cold buildings that were inaccessible in the winter of the Cold War, the dilapidated streets with riots in German Autumn, and the voices of women shouting for progress. Berlin in 1977, Germany, the world is in waves The gloomy wind lays a solid foundation. Although it does not focus on society and history like a realist film, as a horror art film, it is rare that the background can be so realistic!
