A movie that people with depression should watch carefully

I watched a "A Midsummer Night's Fright" at night, uh, it's bad adaptation, this film is really too neurotic, too absurd, too cult, what kind of plot development is this, at the beginning I thought it was about the heroine Later, I thought I wanted to talk about the heroine's psychological problems, and then I thought I needed to talk about the emotional problems between the couple. As a result, I told a particularly nerve-racking story, a ghost story about how absurdity came about.

After they drove on the road, the picture became very beautiful, sunny and picturesque, but the background sound was particularly harsh, forming an extreme contrast, which would give people an illusion of division, and no matter how beautiful the scenery was, I still feel These people are going to die. When I first entered the town, I felt that the heroine was going to kill other people in the end. Then there is the strange behavior of everyone in the town, as well as all kinds of exciting events, the cliff festival, the grotesque image of being hung up and opening the back and eyes blooming, and the neurotic practice of putting the male protagonist in a bear , Even the heroine is dressed as a sea of ​​flowers, she is obviously beautiful, but it feels strange and uncomfortable. The most uncomfortable thing is that the people in the town are always babbling nonsense, and there are strange things that say uh ah ah ah Tone, too uncomfortable simply. What kind of people are these, why do they live like this, why is everyone's face full of happiness, why is everyone crazy, what are they doing, I really can't understand, even if I know A metaphor that the director wants to express, using exaggerated methods to reflect the process of collective alienation, but the viewing experience is really too depressing, depression is too unsuitable to watch this film

I have to say that the two protagonists are awkward and annoying to look at. They obviously don’t trust each other. The man has been thinking about breaking up for half a year, and he has to pretend that he has nothing to do with the heroine. In the end, because a bunch of flowers actually can explode. The woman's mood is not stable, her mind is heavy, she is too dependent on the man, and she is afraid that the man will be annoying, she is unhappy, and she is afraid that the other party will be angry. When the man is angry, she immediately apologizes, especially afraid of losing. The people watching it are so annoying, you should hurry up and break up

The absurdity of this movie reminds me of the club in Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, it's a similar feeling

Of the 9 people who sacrificed at the end, 2 came out of the lottery, 3 were the male protagonist and the male protagonist's classmates, and 2 were people who jumped off the cliff? Who are the other 2 people, are they the couple later on? can't figure it out

Also, the camera movement of this film, from left to right, makes me want to watch 140 frames

Suddenly I remembered that they were driving on the highway with the camera upside down, very dizzy. Did a group of them take drugs at the beginning, and what followed was their fantasy? After all, the heroine has seen grass growing on her hands.

    The oppressive feeling of extreme day is not as good as that of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", and the similar themes of strange power and chaos are not as good as "The Wicker Man". Relying on piling up psychedelic little fresh cult rituals to advance the story is no different from selling copies and piling up explosion scenes
