Orbital movie: horror from meaningless signs

Talking about a movie based on the idea of indeterminacy, the impossibility of certainty and the vagueness of knowledge

It has been built, it seems exhausting and expensive! Because the criticism of his mission is ambiguous

Demystifying is giving meaning to seemingly meaningless elements and giving coherence to disjointed structures

The film Orbital by Maitham Hassanzadeh makes possible everything that the criticism is exactly against. not determined No

Because of not wanting Because it is impossible. A few moments before the movie starts and with the same first sentence

The black frame invites the sharp-eyed viewer to fight. "Based on a true story..." That's it

The initial defamiliarization is enough to realize that we are dealing with a different product that is supposed to us

challenge and question our cognitive assumptions. The story begins in a house.

By the way, the final metamorphosis also happens in the same house. A house where most of the things are gathered and news of

Reads compositions. and mental voice. A voice that later testifies to the existence of an unreliable or incapable narrator

"Unreliable narrator" trust. One of the most modern stories. And for this reason and reasons

The other is orbital in its modern form. And this modernity is an aesthetic choice or a hypocritical approach

is not. It is a necessity. The necessity that forced the filmmaker to make this choice and for this reason

Also the movie is live. Unpredictable and explicit. Linguists and semiologists have already given us proof

They had said that our understanding of the world is possible with the help of interpretation of signs. Any sign consisting of a sign

It is like a word or a sound or an image, and the meaning hidden in it is a sign. we from

through the interpretation of the signifier and the common and social agreement that is previously embedded on the signifier

we understand Now imagine yourself in a world where the signifiers exist, but you do not understand the signifieds

you can't And this is exactly the point where the film Orbital begins. A world full of signs without

The signified and de-heroized hero whose interpretation of the signs remains open. In this situation, they are afraid of others

The most strange phenomena and words, sounds, names and signs are the most terrifying things. Every glance, gesture,

A memory and even a smile can be the ultimate violence and fear. Why? so simple. Because we mean it

We do not understand! In Orbital experiences are not proven. Narrations are unreliable and interpretations

contradictory and inadequate language. The main character of the movie has a general address, name and place, which is for permanence

They use his mobile alarm. But it is always late. And this late arrival is the logic of Ali

It is narration. Narrative constantly prevents cognitive coherence and understanding because it is also an unreliable narration of its own story

It is prevented from making connections between the causal relations of its world. The same thing should be pointed out to him.

Even dating his lover, which is the most important event in his life. But it is still late. It is not intentional.

Because he cannot arrive early. It is impossible to arrive on time. The only thing that reaches the hero of the film

It is art and here is music. He stopped understanding the logic of the signs, but he could still feel the feelings

Recognize pieces of music as an experience. So everything aligns with the world of music

slow Music pieces are the keys that help the Orbital movie to experience decay and collapse

With nothing left at the end of his life, he was immersed in his works and rested, the birth of the Orbital film as well

found again This time, but not in the previous body. But in the body of the world music hero. Freddie Mercury

As Marvin Carlsen points out in The Haunted Scene, the performing arts have always

It is ghosting or ghosting. We are creating silhouettes on stage or in front of the camera

We were those who lived before us and are now born in our bodies and in the empty space between us and the audience

They are mysterious creatures. Dwar deals with ghosts. Milad or any of the people in the ghost movie are from us

who are living indifferent, miserable and boring lives in the world that has been de-symbolized day by day. story

The rotation starts late, but when it starts, it is heavy and bone-burning. The movie is permitted

It does not give us an idea, but rather scares us. From a close and very imminent experience. Pictures

Recorded with a mobile phone, the same images that are in all of our smartphones and we try to use them

Let's seize moments of escape from everyday life in Orbital against the main character

Reality is inconsistent with the interpretation of reality, so nothing should be natural. That's why the design

The sound of the film constantly provides us with hearing things that have no reference in reality. for this reason

Impressionistic light design of the film creates psychological states of the mind that are dissimilar. Camera

It uses scenes that have no equivalent in life. The "subjective" narration of the movie "Always Away".

It hits and stops the classic forward lines of the story. For this reason, the mise-en-scènes in the movie Ista and

They are at rest because there is no decision in their existence. People show reactions

which rules of cause and effect do not govern them. Time is lost in the film and does not have a linear and natural structure

Because it is not real and the movie does not want us to understand what happened when and in what order

Is. The seasons of nature and lights are inconsistent. The shots of the film are constantly fluid, relative and indeterminate

Narrator's sentences and information create new questions instead of answering questions. Orbital experience

It is modern because the form and theme are harmonious in it. We replace stories with experience and instead

Narrative with counter-narrative and instead of image with impulse and instead of continuity with break and instead of transformation with

We are facing collapse. The actors act accordingly. Or rather, they don't play. but as if

They give life and movement to moments of old photos. They were guided in such a way that only

They show in the movie. Maybe Dewar is a modern day tragedy. But the characters of this tragedy

Not the epic heroes of the ancient world. Rather, they are modern-day ghosts who have suffered mental death.

Living in a world where we are unable to understand its signs and the accumulation of meaningless signs is perhaps the same tragic suffering

and the lack of memory is perhaps the hero of modern tragedy...
