The complex story development method and the metaphorical mise-en-scène feast stir the minds of the audience, but in reality, the theme of the film that penetrates all of them is rather concise. One netizen said, 'It's a very sad story once you understand it', and I think this review touched me the most. Dreams and reality in the film follow their essential properties as they are, and are reflected in very contrasting ways. Diane (real name, Naomi Watts), the main character, experiences feelings of misery, shame, and anger in real life. Intangible values, such as fear, fear, and fate, were personified and the experimental method of substituting them into real 'humans' was used. Thus, throughout the movie, a cowboy and a beggar with a hideous face suddenly appear regardless of the story's development, which means that real emotions in reality have been transferred from the unconscious world of dreams to the form of 'human'. Surprisingly, if you deeply immerse yourself in the film, the atmosphere and dialogue in the scenes in which these characters appear conveys the fear and fear of unknown causes outside the film. I really couldn't keep my eyes open because it felt like something was going to pop out of the scene where the beggar appeared. Looking back after a while, I thought that the director's directing skills were really great. The scene where the screen shaking a little in the silence and the white wall with a man with anxious eyes alternately close-up was a groundbreaking idea.
In the dream, Diane stands in the position of Camila (Rita in the dream) in reality. In fact, she was always in her position in her relationship with Camila, who was the subject of her love and the object of her admiration. If you were in a rush to be dragged around without taking the initiative, on the contrary in your dream, you will play a very important role as a helper in the process of tracing Rita's memory. In the second half, the real Diane, who has returned to reality through the key that serves as a passageway between reality and dreams, is revealed, but she is still portrayed as a character in a lack of one-sided love for Camilla and a sense of inferiority as an actress.
One critic said that it is meaningless to even try to analyze this work. They said that you can just enjoy it as it is as a unique art, but this seems to be a harsh criticism of how much we have been preoccupied with 'understanding and digging up' art. The BBC in the UK chose it as number one among the best films of the 21st century, and now you know a little bit why. In fact , there have been many works with similar messages before, so there is nothing new in terms of subject matter. However, other elements, such as the film's form and visuals, lines, the arrangement of characters and objects, and the timing of lines that are uniquely connected as if burned out, all contain extreme originality, so it is as if you are looking into someone's dream. Because it provides an experience, the No. 1 title is perhaps natural. In a word, it can be said that it is the first work in which the equation of 'movie = dream and unconscious' is established.
Although there are scenes that are a bit awkward to see, such as a scene where you drink espresso coffee and groan, a head-on collision, homosexuality and infidelity, etc. Because it expresses a unique atmosphere. So, it is definitely a scene that must be included. For those who are somewhat tired of the existing cinematic composition, it seems to be a work that you will not regret, even if you like it or not.
In the middle part, in a performance hall, the moderator gives a speech. "It's all a dream, there's nothing here, it's just a world of nothingness," he mocks us outside the movie very easily. And the following words were shouted by a woman who dyed her hair blue. Finally, the time has come to awaken from the illusion.
