power E @torturecide 6d 《大佛普拉斯》是一则关于"观看"与"遮蔽"的黑色寓言。底层人物的世界被剥夺了色彩，只剩黑白；而行车记录仪里偷来的富豪生活，却流光溢彩。这种视觉的倒置构成一种残酷的哲学反讽：所谓的真实，不过是权力粉饰的幻象；而被划定为卑微的、失色的存在，恰恰是生命无从逃遁的底色。 大佛是整部电影最沉默的形而上学家。它端坐于庙堂，腹中却藏匿着尸体——神圣的容器，同时成为罪恶最深的掩体。佛像内部持续的敲击声，是对救赎的叩问，更是对虚无的确认。当众人围拜这尊腹藏腐尸的巨像，诵经声嗡嗡如催眠，信仰便彻底暴露为一种集体的精神致幻。佛不言语，它的沉默即宇宙的终极冷漠：一切痛苦、冤屈与祈求，终将被巨大的空无所吞噬。 影片的凝视最终是双向的：我们像菜埔与肚财一样，窥视着他人的欲望与秘密，却发现镜头的尽头，只有自身的困顿。大佛普拉斯——"大佛"加上"Plus"——那放大的，原来不是慈悲，而是荒诞与虚妄。 See more 01/22/2021 born in tw and moved to USA when i was young, always thought what would have happen to me, my family, friends... this movie has that independent ,offbeat, more real than hollywood, feel of a taiwan i think i remember... See more 06/21/2019 Definitely worth watching. See more 12/25/2018 The depressing black and white images of the poor and the colorful world of the rich. Despair and loneliness, it is difficult to summon up the courage to look back. Think of the original "Manchester by the sea" feeling, but it is very different.After all, the latter is the pain of happiness breakdown, and "Buddha" is born to set the hopeless.

Narrativa curiosa, com intervenções do diretor na estória em branco e preto. Bem..não me convenceu... See more 06/23/2018 We had the pleasure of seeing this at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, 2018, with the writer/director present and offering a Q&A after the screening. The film reminded me of some others, in a good way: "Clerks," not just due to it being primarily in black and white, but also for giving a glimpse into the mundanity and daily tribulations of people in unglamorous jobs/ positions in life, who "make things work" without much recognition from those of us privileged enough to not have to pay attention; but where "Clerks" was original at the time of its release, it may not have aged well...in contrast, we think "The Great Buddha+" may have a bit more to offer the world in the long term... "Amelie," for its slight sadness, quirky minor characters, vague sense of nostalgia and the surreal, use of musical themes and periodic narration; however, "The Great Buddha +" is definitely darker, in spite of its well-placed humor. I think Hsin-yao Huang is a person with more to say, and I look forward to finding out what that might be in the future, if his films' release is broad enough so that I will have the opportunity.
