The eyes are the windows of the mind. The most unforgettable thing about the film is that the eyes are like being covered by tulle, full of misty feelings.
What is the truth? Can't help but want to explore what exactly is hidden in those "Enigmatic Eyes"?
At the beginning of the film, it is a close-up of the heroine's eyes, and those big eyes almost occupy the entire screen, and the eyes are chased by the back of the male protagonist, and the eyes are full of desire to return.
"Enigmatic Eyes" is a suspense film released by the Argentine Project Company, and the first film in the history of Argentine cinema to make a name for itself at the Oscars, winning the 82nd Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film for the first time. Douban scored 8.3 points, and the audience praised it like a rave. It premiered in Argentina on August 13, 2009.
The film begins the narrative in reverse order. Benjamin, a retired prosecutor. Decades of work experience filled his mind with material. He wanted to write these materials into a novel, but he always stuck at the beginning, wrote tearing, tearing and writing.
His mind kept switching through the camera to the beautiful figure of a girl, and the angelic smile shone in the sunlight. Suddenly, the camera flickers, and the picture of the girl being raped strongly stimulates the viewer's eyes. The girl's blood-stained face and desperate eyes were heart-wrenching.
As the plot unfolds, the film tells the story of a rape and murder case more than twenty years ago in Benjamin's career.
At that time, Liliana, a 23-year-old female teacher, fell in love with Duka, a bank clerk, but only half a year after the two were married, Liliana was raped and killed in her new house.
At that time, the judiciary was corrupt, and Benjamin's colleagues in the official Yun Hengtong casually found two immigrants to beat them into confession, and let them face the crime. And the upright Benjamin could not tolerate such a reckless life, making a big fight with the irresponsible colleague, and secretly investigating the case alone under pressure.
Under his perseverance, he finally found out that the real murderer was one of Liliana's admirers, her former junior high school classmates. Benjamin sent him to prison, but the killer was soon pardoned for his contributions to the military.
After being released from prison, the murderer was very arrogant, frantically retaliated and mistakenly killed Benjamin's assistant as Benjamin. Benjamin, in order to avoid trouble, left this land of right and wrong.
Then the story returns to the beginning of the film, where Benjamin returns to the old place where he has been away for decades to find his former boss, Irene, for the sake of the smooth progress of the novel.
Irene had always been the cinnabar mole on Benjamin's heart. When Irene graduated from a university of higher learning and became his boss at the prosecutor's office, he fell in love with her at first sight, and he loved her beauty and outstanding talent.
This movie is said to be a suspense film, but in fact, it is based on love, treating the camera as a pair of eyes, leading the audience to a visual dialogue. Let's use our "eyes" to observe this hidden secret of love.
The film has a lot of language shots to decipher, especially those who can talk, and there are two love lines hidden in them. In addition to Benjamin and Irene, what is even more touching and lamenting is the love between the victim Liliana and her husband Duca.
After his wife's death, Duca seemed to be frozen in time. From then on, his life consisted only of memories and revenge, and he would sit alone by the subway station every day, waiting for the murderer to appear.
In order to punish the murderer, he built a prison away from the crowd in a remote and remote place, where the murderer and himself were imprisoned forever.
Love in the world has many forms. It is interesting to carefully consider the two kinds of love expressed in the film. Both kinds of love are deep love but for some reason can not keep each other, even if the heart has been thinking about it.
Benjamin, because of his own humble psychology, has not dared to confess to Irene, who was born a rich and graduated from a prestigious school and ----. When he left his hometown, it was not so much that he was afraid of being killed by the murderer, but rather that he was excessively restrained and an escape psychology of his feelings.
Fortunately, at the end of the film, Benjamin visits the victim's husband, Duka. After knowing all the truth and being shocked, he finally woke up, and suddenly feared that he would never have the opportunity to confess again.
Benjamin's entanglement and abandonment of feelings almost runs through the entire film, and the estrangement is an obstacle between them. But in Benjamin's eyes, Irene's presence is everywhere, from youth to twilight.
At the end of the film, he finally broke through the fortress restrictions he set and bravely expressed this love to Irene, and the couple finally had a happy ending.
Duca's love, on the other hand, is another extreme. They once had it, but because of the cruelty of the murderer, their happy life came to an abrupt end, and time seemed to be frozen in that moment, and the rest of his life would always live in memory.
Compared with Benjamin's love, Duka's love is even more moving. The so-called love is great because of forbearance, and Both Duka and Benjamin can be said to be masters of forbearance.
Fortunately, Benjamin finally stopped restraining himself and took the first step towards happiness. And Duca's love is loyal and touching, but it is too bitter for himself.
The best love should be the real possession. Living in the present moment, cherishing each other when you can have it; if you can't have it, you must also live your own life, and letting each other rest assured is a blessing to each other.
True love can throw away the concept of the door, racial discrimination and everything else outside of mutual affection. If you love, you are brave to pursue, and being together is the most perfect ending.
In short, the suspense film "Enigmatic Eyes" is worth watching. Under the guise of suspense, this film actually takes love as the theme and wins with sincere emotions.
After watching the movie, I believe that your heart will send out the cry of the soul, get the lessons of life, and benefit a lot!
