The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
我个人还是挺喜欢的，虽然故事里有些细节还是看了解析才明白，依然是导演惯常的美丽诡异文艺范儿，整个光影和衣饰配色都非常美，拍得非常诗意，同时也导致将主线这个最终成长为真正骑士的简单故事搞得有些假大空。个人体会就是如果能沉浸进影片营造的氛围里还是会挺受用的，另外Dev Patel在片子里的状态太好了，非常有质感。三星半吧~
常识科学，哲学三管齐下。
画面色调很不错，尤其是中间巨人场景又爱又怕，就是这故事虽然以前大学学过，但是这拍的也太无趣了点吧。
Like everyone said, top-notch on cinematography, sound design and art department, but no story, only vibes. Good for eye, not for brain. The last 20 mins makes the most sense of the movie, like an ending explanation in the ending. The overall tone of the film, or from adult fairy tale aspect, it reminds me of Tale of Tales.
[Berlinale Competition] L'Avventura
意义很好，很适合小朋友看。大狗的效果真的失真，没啥了
特别拧巴的一部电影。Lowery为了让当代观众理解角色，把Sir Gawain the virtuous的journey of chivalry改编成coming of age故事。改编很难说成功。一面极力撇清传统saga和coming of age叙事不惜穿插荒诞讽刺，一面不得不忠于原著情节用神秘主义风格把saga情节糊弄过去。最终coming of age变成了一条直到最后一幕通过颅内simulation才能完成的陡峭曲线，路上的道德挑战在乳臭未干的小骑士身上也失去了在原著里与virtuous knight的张力。slow pan再好看也救不回来。
开头慢了点，后面太怪诞趣味了，太有才了这个导演！有点被涂污的鸟那种感觉！堂吉诃德版本的黄粱一梦！
沉郁而悲伤，是Paolo对Vittorio的告别式。用Kaos为不曾共同实现的The Nail写下注脚，隔着漫漫时光的回望在黑白与色彩交替的场面化作一丝轻叹。前2/3的荒诞与神秘是Pirandello的幽灵在Taviani兄弟的历史戏剧元叙事中逡巡。后1/3则明显断裂，不知所措。从剧本中删除的《游吟诗人》唱词Leonora addio…被保留成为标题，同样飘荡如幽灵，就像片中无处不在的Vittorio。
04.08.2021 | @ Regal Majestic | 读完书后二刷。后劲太大了。电影对故事的改编真妙，Morgan Le Fay角色的改写说得通，故事改得真圆。对结尾的双重诠释十分A24。依旧，太爱Winifred的故事了，这很Witcher。 30.07.2021 | @ Regal Majestic | w. Noelle | 和亚瑟王故事迷的同事小姐妹一起看的第一部电影。这部片里的符号和隐喻太多了：可以随手丢弃的爱情、无法放开的亲情、投我以桃报之以李、因果报应。A24大概也要把作品串连成一个宇宙，Midsommar式的壁画承前，路上的羊群启后（映前看Lamb的预告片也是怪异得惊艳！）。如果《被掩埋的巨人》要拍成电影，应该也差不多会是这个样子吧。（谁来拍啊求求了！）
三星都给巨人穿行群山这里，太震撼了惊得我，应该多展开讲讲。
3星，本片改编自 圆桌骑士里比较有名的一段故事《高文与绿骑士》，场景布局讲究尽显骑士浪漫情怀。故事改编后有点故弄玄虚强行加戏的感觉，把寓言故事拍成了一个文艺片。但寓言故事表达的精神没变，整体观感尚可，可以看看。
处处佳句却仅有半篇佳章。中世纪黑童话寓言故事还是很有趣的。“人的本性并不总是选择好的一面，低劣才是永恒的主导面。”整个过程似乎在用一出又一出的奇观来考验高文自身的信念，用“反向刺激”去洗刷他作为骑士不该有的品质；但看下来有点过犹不及了，过度炫技反而让情感的迸发时时处于崩塌状态，湖底捞头的部分完全拍成了恐怖片，没有必要啊……总之，A24擅长的用阴间活儿讲述形形色色的故事，还算是有一种新的突破。
好古怪但令人忍不住多看几眼，这个故事如果用“正统”拍法反而没什么看头。
用意我大概能明白，用一种反英雄的方式来重新讲高文的故事，里面有一些很特别的隐喻是不是有些晦涩了。但是光影和景色实在太美了，形式上充满了Anglo-Saxon时期的神秘感，配乐也特别棒，几段吟唱太美了。Green Chapel实在太漂亮了。(但漏雨)
中规中矩的儿童读物改编剧，属于不踩雷但没亮点的作品
“今日还是青春韶华，明日就垂垂老矣。”上次看到这么美的黑白影像还是帕维乌的《冷战》。
这拍的是个什么？！大型超长无歌曲无音乐mv吗
年轻人如何navigate他人的各种影响找到自我（identity)的故事 一开始以为和The Vvitch和Hereditary一样惊悚 慢慢觉得是不是一个coming of age story 到最后回头看整部电影觉得导演讲了一个开放式结尾的寓言故事。环绕亚瑟王的故事本就有无数种版本 无数种解说 这部电影找了一个配角作为切入点 然而故事的涵义能应用到每个时代每个年轻（男）人。
