After Nocturnal Animals-I don't seem to understand.

Recently, I have been seeing people pushing this movie online, so I took a look and glanced at the slight spoiler comments before watching it. It's a story about getting back at my ex, so at first I thought it would be similar to The Lost Girl, a movie about a wife getting back at her cheating husband, but after watching it, I can tell you responsibly that it's not like that at all.

Now let's talk about this movie. I have to admit, just five minutes after the film started shooting, I was deeply shocked and basically touched the routine of the director. This is a literary film, and various contemporary artworks and exquisite shots that appeared in the film later proved this conjecture.

The feature film begins with a successful career, a young daughter, a handsome husband and a luxurious house, all of which reveal that she is a successful person, but there is an undercurrent in her glamorous life. Everything that looks beautiful is actually illusory. The living projection at that moment is so perfect, but the next moment will fall apart, just like two works of art in the movie, "Saint Sebastian, exquisite pain and desert fire # 153" (my personal translation is the bull with an arrow and the man with a shotgun) is still alive at the moment of solidification, but everyone knows that they are actually dead.

Later, the hostess received a novel by her ex-husband, named Nocturnal Animals, and the story of the film was officially launched. The movie * * * consists of three story lines, namely, the timeline of the real world, the memory of the heroine and the timeline of the hero of the novel.

During the whole movie, these three story lines are staggered and parallel. As the story goes on, we gradually know the whole process of the hostess and her ex-husband, from acquaintance to reunion to breakup. The story line of the novel seems to tell the hero's weakness, timidity, pain, anger, despair and physical and mental death after the death of his wife and daughter, but it is actually a metaphor for the relationship between the man and the woman, and it is the source of the hero's pain in the novel. Actually, it's all the author himself. More importantly, the man expresses through the novel that in the parallel universe of the novel, he and his once happy family are floating in the wind. This novel is a gift from the man to the woman, and it is also an eternal period between them. From then on, there is no intersection, because only in this way can the seemingly abrupt ending of the film be explained.

After watching the movie, my first impression was that there were no ups and downs, and the character setting and plot development were quite satisfactory. To be honest, I don't think this way of shooting is attractive. Although there are pictures as exquisite as photography, glamorous clothes, handsome figures and unclear works of art in the movie, apart from those, the characters in the movie are so dry.

But what if the director wants to express this meaning? Get rid of all the lead. What kind of devil are you? What's the difference between you and animals? Considering that the director is tom ford, designer and former creative director of Gucci, it is not impossible to express this artistic conception. Of course, it is more likely that I think too much and even don't understand at all. If it is the latter, it can explain why my reading comprehension ability has been very small.

Well, this is my understanding of the whole movie. If you feel the same way after reading it, my suggestion is to treat it as a photo exhibition or an art exhibition, which is also excellent for improving your artistic accomplishment and taste.

PS: More and more, I feel that the temperament royal elder sister like the heroine is really suitable for literary films. Even if I want to make a superhero movie, I will choose DC series to play darkness, pretend to be B and think about life, but this one is even here with General Zod. Is this a sequel to Superman?

? finally

No wonder the soundtrack of the movie sounds so familiar. There is always a style of dark Gothic demon city. Abel korzeniowski is in charge of the original music, and my good friend is in charge of the soundtrack of another Gothic minority drama "Penny Terrible", including Ava Green.
