Since my Chinese is getting worse day after day in an unexpected speed. I decide to write this so-called 'review' in English.
===============================
People are always shocked by the power of music, which lights up millions of ordinary movies and makes them more appealing and full. Essentially, in an era far away from silent years, I assume that at least half of the films and televisions would go dull or plummet without soundtracks, as many of them do not have strong storylines and real souls.
However, OSLO, AUGUST 31, which illustrates striking exploration of lost youth, is a great movie that stuns in its silence, just like a born beauty shines without make up. This quiet movie has satisfying gravity of specific experience, although it did not reach a wide audience worldwide, even in Scandinavia.
It is deeply personal and can be sad at times, which means watching it with others is not recommended. You will sense the characters and sympathies, especially if you once commit suicide or ever think about it. From my personal angle, what brings him down is not loneliness or desperation but boredom-----being sick of job interviews, establishing ties with friends, meeting new ones, or make it short, living a life.
Audience who prefer Hollywood might find it too cold and way too realistic. In fact, it took me a whole year to finish watching, yet it made me think and rethink after months. The movie just eats into your mind—slowly.
As I always say, suicide is just a choice,and it takes more bravery to face it than just to give it up to pain and sorrow.
