Interrelation of Body Language and Psychology: An Analyzing of Charade on the For Some Inexplicable Reason

Humans communicate not only through words, but also through gestures, facial expressions, and postures, which convey people’s emotions and psychological states. The film directed by Gábor Reisz, is set in 2012 in Hungary, when the unemployment rate reached 11.30%. Many young individuals who have newly entered society and live independently have been jobless. As a consequence, content that is difficult to impress the audience was chosen for this film, which exposes real-life difficulties without filtering them. To overcome these shortcomings, the case unfolds with black comedy while revealing scenes identical to reality like a documentary. In addition, the movement of the camera focuses on the body language rather than the speech-language of the characters, expressing the inner strength of human beings and the will to live. By conveying the character’s psychology through direct and clear body language, the audience also turns their gaze away from the main character’s problems and faces them. The change in the main character’s inner psychology and attitude toward life clearly reveals the will to exist through charade, choosing to stay alive even in the face of pain or crisis. The change in actions, attitudes and gestures of the main character, who lives helplessly while falling here and there, and runs vigorously in search of potential inner strength and vitality in a fleeting moment, clearly reveals his heart through shredding. By analyzing the charade of this film, I was able to understand the interrelation of the body language and psychology.
