Therefore, loss, for these people, is like a hook suddenly falling off. If one day, the hook that carries most of your weight falls off... When you
fall, you see the reflection in the water getting closer and closer to you. It is both the beginning and the end, just like this film is perfect. Symmetry: illusory kiss-heart pain-student-ex-girlfriend-student-heart pain-illusory kiss. Forget who said it, no one will really die of heartbreak, but if the heart is not good, it's hard to say. But I am willing to point to the actor George and say that this man died of a broken heart.
The colors of the 1960s were rendered very well, transitioning between cold blue and gray, black and white and hot orange, expressing bursts of emotions with bright and faded colors. Anyone who has been sad knows that sadness is like a tide. It goes and comes again. The most feared is a sneak attack, thinking that the clothes are all dry, and there is another wave on the face. This kind of color change is not surprising, but Tom Ford used it just right.
As soon as he looked up, there was a red moon. The red moon represented war in ancient times, and in the culture of certain western nations, it indicated the imminent death, so George began to feel relieved. The last line is well written:
A few times in my life I've had moments of absolute clarity, when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh. It's as though it had all just come into existence. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be.
