"The Man Without a Head" is a film of just ten minutes, but it won the Cannes Best Short Film Award, which is well deserved!
The film is about a virtual industrial city where people can buy and swap their heads for money. Just like the angel-like beauty in the film, she opened her mouth to know that she was already an elderly person. Face can deceive everything, as long as you have the ability to buy.
The hero, a headless, humble white man, gets two tickets to concerts and asks the girl of his choice to attend a concert at 7 p.m., which the girl readily agrees to, which makes it difficult for him to suppress his excitement, and he dances alone in the room. Buying a head that suits him has become a top priority, but because of his poor life, many "handsome styles" obviously cannot be eliminated. In the end, with the help of the head store clerk, he still bought a skull that suited him and could afford the price. He happily went on a date, and on the way there, bought a bouquet of flowers for his girlfriend. However, what happened next was completely beyond his expectations.
He put on the head that belonged to him in the bathroom, and when he put it on, he found that it was a black head. He looked at his hands and face that were not matched, and he was even more sad in disappointment. He just wants to have a normal head to date the girl he loves. But reality is often unsatisfactory. Finally, he appeared naked in front of the girls. He was a man without a head, but in the eyes of girls, he was complete. At least true, not false. Fingers wrapped together.
The film ends here, but it's only before I start thinking. In our real society, we are often confused by people's appearance, how handsome this man is, so a woman likes him; that woman is sexy and beautiful, so a man pursues her; in addition to the instinctive pursuit of beauty in human nature, many of us love a person because of his/her appearance, not the inside. In "Snail Residence", Hai Ping once said: "What Seaweed likes is only the aura on Song Siming's body, but these are virtual." If Song Siming did not have his current social status, would Seaweed still love him? "Yes, when we are looking for love, we are often deceived by appearances, and after knowing that we have been deceived, we must continue to deceive ourselves.
The male and female protagonists in the film are brave and honest, one is willing to show each other the truest side of himself, a headless person who is willing to accept this is not recognized by the world, and the sound of the collision of heart and soul is so wonderful that people can't help but look back at their love and sigh, he/she has ever known the real me
Ravaged by life and suppressed by loneliness, when faced with sincere emotions, we hope that what we retain will always be the sincere sincerity.
