Lucas De Holt's 2022 work "Intimate" won him, a post-90s director, the jury prize in the main competition unit of the 75th Cannes International Film Festival. Two inseparable 13-year-old teenagers Leo and Omi, after going to junior high school, they were afraid of causing misunderstanding by others, Leo was a little deliberately widened the distance between him and Omi, and the already somewhat melancholy Omi committed suicide, and the beautiful youth and friendship suddenly evolved into a heartbreak that could not be left and could not be loved. The story is not complicated, but the unexplained emotions in the story are so entangled: how much of the careful thinking of youth is elusive? Where are the boundaries between pure friendship and vague love growing up? What is true bravery in intimacy? The origin is friendship, and when hurt, does this origin also become the end of life?
Love this movie: First, because of Lucas's unusual style of "deep resentment". He hides sadness in bright colors and laughter. In the bright and swaying flowers, the youth of two happy running teenagers is more beautiful than flowers, can you imagine that such a flying youth will soon wither? The beautiful picture already hints at the destruction of beauty. There are many such shots, the two laughing and chasing all the way by the golden wheat field, riding a bicycle under the green tree, etc., the strong contrast has achieved a good effect. Second, both the offside and the implicit victory. The film has a series of fierce scenes such as Leo walking in pain in heavy rain, Omi feverishly pounces on Leo to hit Leo when he collapses, and Leo hits desperately on the school ice hockey rink, and there are also many very restrained expressions, such as no shot of Omi's suicide, only shown by the knocked bathroom door lock, and after Omi's suicide, the director never let Omi's shot appear again. Leo, who misses Omi very much, only uses the melancholy silence of the day and the eyes that are difficult to sleep at night, expressing memories and longing. The two modes of expression of explosive emotion and calm waves reflect each other, and Zhang Chi has a degree. Third, there is no mandatory definition of the emotions of teenagers. Leo and Omi, two teenagers, are together in everything, they can't separate and don't want to separate, and they become shadows of each other, which is very similar to friendship but not exactly friendship. They admire each other, and when they look at each other, their eyes seem to contain love beyond friendship, but they never hold hands and kiss, because they lose intimacy and kill themselves is not the category of friendship. All this, what exactly does the director not point out this emotion in this film? It should be said that the director handled this very cleverly, indeed, many emotions hovered between yes and no, especially between the two underage boys, and even they themselves were looking at flowers in the fog. Fourth, the bright ending of the sad story. Leo and Omi's mother, the two most important people in Omi's life, eventually reconciled, and Leo recovered from an injury on the ice hockey rink. Only when the living cherish each other can the wounds of the past heal. Such a treatment is wise and not cruel, after all, you cannot bury the living with the departure of a loved one. "In this world of instantaneous composition, all choices lose sufficient reason, and all results become very reasonable. What is happiness? How much suffering is it? "#电影
