What story does "Holy Cars" tell and what content does it want to express? Thank you, God, please help me.

This is a specimen of irony.

DreamWorks

At the beginning of the film, a bunch of people are hypnotized in the theater. They are undoubtedly watching a movie. In reality, aren’t we also hypnotized when we watch a movie with our eyes open? Carax stood overlooking the theater when a naked child passed through the aisle, followed closely by an old black dog. I think it represents rebirth and death. Our whole life from birth to death is spent in the cinema, a life hypnotized. . .

Carax's camera

The next step is a scene of a little girl looking out of the window. The camera gradually zooms out. The window is round, much like the lens of a camera. . Carax said: "I stand behind the camera, facing a woman's face and a whole world..." This is obviously Carax's camera. This also marked the beginning of his movie.

Satire and counterattack

The ten stories represent almost all movies that can be seen now: motion capture, CG, eroticism, ethics, gangsters, love, almost the entire film industry miniature. On the contrary, I feel that the story itself is not given that much meaning by the card. On the contrary, some parts of it are deliberately poorly shot. In the midst of all this crap, you'd think there's only one story that's done really well (Made the Sewer Man) and that one happens to be Carax's own movie. And the male protagonist's name is "Oscar", which is obviously intentional. This is Carax's riposte and satire on the entire American film industry.

Deni Lawan

When Denis Lawan came out of his home in the morning, it was already the end of the first script. By the time he returned home in the evening, he was with the orangutans. The last script. It can be seen that actors are performing 24 hours a day, and it no longer matters which is the real home and which is the home in the script. No wonder he complained to the big boss Piccoli in the car: "Now the cameras are getting smaller and smaller, and the small ones can no longer be seen." It is implied that the entertainment industry has turned the entire life of stars into "movies" and consumer products.

Holy Motors is a word conjugation

Holy Motors is Hollywood, and Carax likes to play this phoneme conjugation game. One after another, elongated luxury cars go in and out in an orderly manner like products on a production line, mass-producing "dreams". Holy Motors is a factory of dreams. At night, these dream-making machines whispered: "Human beings no longer need visual machines, and we will be eliminated." At this time, I suddenly thought of some old black and white movie scenes interspersed in the cutscenes of each story: monotonous And boring body movements. Aren't these all dreams that Hollywood once created? They are obsolete products. And the current stretch luxury cars will be eliminated sooner or later. Hollywood is rapidly moving forward in the pursuit of dreams. Who will miss those old movies? With the continuous innovation of dream-making methods, one day movies will become a historical term. Carax satirizes contemporary trends in filmmaking while also showing respect for older films.
