Tom FORD's second movie "Nocturnal Animals" is the number one of my favorite literary film this year. The actors' acting skills are amazing, the soundtrack is as perfect as usual, and every frame is beautiful. TOM FORD makes people completely feel that God is unfair. He gave others a window, but he did not leave you a door.
At the beginning of the film, the fat nude girl dancer made Pepe and I sitting in the audience stunned. It's really been a long, long time since I saw such a shocking shot on the big screen of a movie theater. It's not special effects, not 3D, just Then straight Biangbiang hits the bottom of your heart, so that you who have just sat down or even entered the state of watching the movie immediately receive the first bomb of the film. Someone on the Internet said that TOM FORD originally photographed those fat women, but only wanted to photograph the Americans in the eyes of Europeans: "overweight", "fat", and "lifeless". I didn't expect that the photographs would look good. Every fat woman They are all lively and enjoy being themselves. Only then did he think that he could use this satirical heroine, because these fat women have an angry that can't be found on the heroine who wears beautiful TOM FORD suits, maintains a perfect body, and enters and exits high-end Asian restaurants in Los Angeles.
But of course, when you first watch the movie, you won't realize this.
"Lifeless" is the upper-class social circle in the eyes of TOM FORD, and as everyone gets older, they start to be helpless about this matter. At the party, the woman who talked to the hostess said: “It’s not that bad to have a Gay Husband. After all, I know I will only be the only woman in his life.” She sympathizes with the hostess’s husband’s cheating, maybe This can make her feel that her marriage is not that bad. And this Gay Husband in her mouth was a lifeless hostess facing her husband’s affair (the husband didn’t even want to show up in the most important exhibition of the hostess for 15 minutes), and she also thought she should maintain such a life, "You do Very good. When we were young, we felt that many things were very important. As we grow older, we will understand that these things are actually meaningless." The voice-over is probably: this is the same thing in a person's life, and it is everyone's fate to make it through this life, and it is not too late for you to see through this.
This is probably the "nocturnal creature" in TOM FORD's eyes: lifeless, easy to live, without the courage to take a step towards a better self, and after this life in a vague way, only in the dead of night, a clear and true self will shine. Yes, but soon disappeared like fireworks.
This is the helplessness of a group of nocturnal animals in the prosperous city. They have lost their choice and control over many aspects of life. Only in the short time after work at night can they be themselves, and they have to put on masks and pretend nothing happened at dawn. Go on with life.
The youthful vigor comes not only from the freshness of the flesh, but also from the fact that we realized that the future is brand-new, full of various unknown possibilities, and there is no need to worry about life being “defined”. But soon these will be swallowed by big cities. Slowly, Shanghai, Istanbul, New York or Los Angeles will have a group of exactly the same nocturnal animals, living in lifeless cities one after another.
