film is so plain and unremarkable at first glance, and it is boring at the beginning. However, as long as you have patience and care, you will find that this film is not simple, has profound skills, and is full of ambitions. Why do you say that? This Argentina-Spain co-produced film should represent the highest level of film production in non-mainstream countries in Europe and America, and it has mastered the Oscar criteria.
Compared with "White Ribbon" in creating atmosphere and in-depth exploration of human nature, compared with "Prophet", which is fresh and interesting and can be seen, "Mysterious Eyes" has great shortcomings. As for "Sad Milk," which is also a Latin American film, it seems that the subject matter discussed is more important than it. Where does it win? I think there should be two reasons. The first is that European films, especially German films, have gained a lot at the Oscars in recent years, and Hollywood may want to change its tastes. Latin American films seem to be the best choice. Secondly, it lies in the film itself. Its unexpected ending breaks through the pattern of this suspenseful crime film and turns its attention to the exploration of human nature. In addition, the looming political and historical background of this film is also a reason for its pleasing.
Liliana's death is the node of Morales' life, a huge deadly node. For 25 years, he only lived on the day his wife was murdered, and there was only one thing left in his life-revenge for his wife. Benjamin also met the knot, Liliana's case made him have to say goodbye to his love and avoid disaster. However, for 25 years, he couldn't let go because he couldn't catch the murderer himself, and he also lived in the shadow of losing his best friends and frustrated ideals. In the long shot at the end of the film, three men stare at each other through the iron fence. The meaning of the picture is self-evident: Who is really imprisoned, the one inside the iron fence, or the two outside the fence? "There is no future if you entangle the past", this is the rhetoric of realists. However, if the goodness of the past is irreplaceable, or the pain of the past has extinguished hope, can I be relieved to be a prisoner in the river of memories?
How should we go over? How to face your fears? Esposido hid for 25 years, and ended up like a trapped beast, trapped in his own demons. The woman's husband hated him for 25 years, but in the end he could only stay lonely and grow old. This is the question that the movie leaves us to think about.
