"Phantom Light" is the first film directed by Hirokazu Edema called "Phantom Light". At first glance, the title makes me think it is a movie with magical colors. As everyone knows, it is a special movie. Realistic and fresh literary style movies. When it comes to literature and art, it does not lie in whether the lines are fresh or not, but in the shots taken, in the soundtrack (Chen Mingzhang), in the plot, in the life and death, life and death, life and death that cannot be understood and guessed. It took more than two hours to read it, and I was only left with the beautiful scenery, beautiful background music, light and strong affection and love, and some reluctant "sense of distance", just want to get close but rarely get close "Love" is about sharing life and death, and also about personal growth and meeting and saying goodbye. Emotion is that the director Hirokazu Edema has retained a kind of exquisiteness and appreciation in his documentary era, and allows the plot and characters to play freely, not too much to restrict their personalities in the past. Or, as he himself admitted, he was particularly influenced by the director Hou Xiaoxian. When shooting, he paid attention to natural light, controlled the lighting, the inertia of the actors, and the full potential of the film. After suppressing the vent of emotions Break out again, and strive to truly touch people's hearts, rather than casually playing emotional cards. Movies are lifelike, more real than reality and dreamy than reality. The beauty of scenery, the beauty of music, the beauty of people, plus the beauty of artificial composition and the setting of the script, a dreamlike and thought-provoking movie appears in the long river of movies, shining brightly, and it will last forever. decline. "Phantom Light" was fixed in that unforgettable 1995 and became the first milestone in the director's career of director Hirokazu Esaku (Miyuko), Tadanobu Asano (Ikuo), Takashi Naito ( Minxiong), the immature youthful appearance and breath have also been quietly fixed.
Yongichi and his sister Mr. Yu Qiuyu once said, "There are some people in our lives who have rubbed shoulders with us, but they are too late to meet; when they meet, they are too late to get to know each other; when they meet, it is too late to get to know each other; when they are familiar, they have to say goodbye." It was in this journey of meeting, separation, goodbye and goodbye that Yuko Satomi discovered her relationship with the people around her, and met another kind of "love" in the confusion of tracing the cause of her grandma's "running away from home" and her ex-husband's "suicide" ", also confused in the confusion. Taiban, what she lacks is a ritual, a "farewell" ritual, a ritual that allows people to truly let go of the "past". Therefore, the most spectacular scene also appeared in the movie. The strange funeral procession walks slowly by the sea. The blue-purple sky, like a violet tone, is mixed with solemnity and solemnity. Life and death are also the proposition. Under the footsteps of her constant pursuit, she began to gradually reveal, as her current husband said, "Only a lonely person can see that light." Those forced "farewells" that she couldn't understand were also temporarily comforted and reconciled during this trip alone and her husband's interpretation. It turns out that being born as a person is indeed different. Those two people who share the seemingly happy time will also have different experiences and ideas. One person can never truly enter another person. Only in the separation can one be understood, missed and understood.
Like in "Distance", those who left their families, left society, converted to cults, and self-destructed after doing detrimental things. They have never been understood by their family members, and they have never really revealed their thoughts and thoughts. The relationship and distance between family and friends is a huge gap that can never be filled. Like her ex-husband Ikuo, with his bounce and bounce pace, he spends every day and every night calmly. He seems to be living, having existed, blooming, warm, innocent, love and freedom, but maybe just pretending Happy, everything goes like the wind. Only the remaining people, in the same place, or in the process of advancing, are with the confusion, with the nostalgia, looking for the beam of "light" that does not belong to them (there is a "Western Pure Land" in Buddhism, the dead All of the souls disappeared at the end of the west sea). Like the old movie "Wild Strawberry" by the master Ingmar Bergman, the doctor Isaac had a nightmare before returning to his alma mater to receive an honorary degree. He dreamed that he looked terrifying in the coffin and woke up scared. . Afterwards, accompanied by my daughter-in-law, revisiting the old place, reminiscing about the past, and introspecting, it seemed that he had experienced a journey of soul salvation, and his lonely and unknown past was slowly understood. In "The Seventh Seal", through the game between the knight and the god of death, he showed the audience the different ways that different people behave in the face of death, and at the same time improved the meaning of human existence, the root of faith and the existence of God.There was a tit-for-tat question. In the dark middle ages when the plague was pervasive and humanity was lost, he only allowed a family of actors who represented innocence and kindness to enter the clear light.
review So what about us? Where are Miyukko, Mino, and Yuichi? Only in constant exploration can we explore the true meaning of life. Pain or parting, each is a real experience and the only way to go. In growing up, you will unconsciously discover that it is not the grief caused by the departure of others, it is precisely because there are uncontrollable external factors that have been affecting us. Gearing up has made us more and more difficult, and the inconvenience and unwillingness to reveal the voice are the fatal force that induces loneliness. Negative energy, plus depression, plus pain, plus self-feeling that others are incomprehensible and unacceptable, accumulates like a straw, and one day, it will quietly bury and squash itself. Therefore, that dreamy light can only appear when one is walking alone and when despair approaches. It is a kind of calling and a kind of trial. It is a kind of "psychedelic medicine" for people who are not able to bear the heart. It is as beautiful and dangerous as a poppy. Seeing it proves that you are in danger. Only people who have always been kind, innocent and full of hope can avoid it, even if the "phantom light" is really beautiful, so what? Living towards death, full of expectations, the winner will be us who are brave to live. END.
