    It turned out that the tip of Karl (Charlie) XII's right finger was on the tip of the young boy's left finger at the bar, and he was happiest when he saw it. I don't know if "I'm very happy to hear that you are doing well." Is it a polite word used in Sweden. "Do we have the right to use others for our own pleasure?" The lab monkeys and smoldering Africans are super uncomfortable. The screen setting is beautiful. The flat screen creates layers of depth of field, which is quite...

    #HKIFF# is so good, it makes me cry and laugh. The moving and still elements in the picture are well arranged: the passing train to the stationary salesman, the marching procession to the people in the restaurant. The beginning and the end are relatively independent, and the main body tells the story of a group of people. It seems that we only get to know this group of people by...

    It's a movie about Wednesdays, because in the middle of the week, it's painful to stay up and down: I'm glad to hear you're having a good time because I'm not happy at all; build your joy on other people's pain, But it seems that the most painful is the audience who came in to watch the movie; we are entertainment people, but we are only in debt, and there is no humor at all; I guess if people with depression go in and watch it, it should be fine want to commit...

    The fifth session of BJIFF2015. It breaks the linear narrative and presents the story in fragmented form, each of which is shot with a fixed long shot, which creates an atmosphere that is very consistent with the film. I always feel that Roy Anderson is a pessimist. The characters under his lens are very negative and a little funny, but the reality is also the same. Through repeated lines, the film uses this boring way to explain human life. It seems to be talking about...

    The subtitle is "The Dove Reflects on the Meaning of Existence in the Tree", Anderson pointed out the so-called meaning through the mouth of the little girl: money is the fundamental goal of human existence. After that, I used two sluggish salesmen to show all the absurdities of the world, sometimes thinking about whether my work and life can create happiness and meaning for others. It's just that others believe that the meaning of existence lies in the pursuit of monetary interests, and it...

    #BJIFF#The ridiculous encyclopedia of smart people mocking humanity. Human beings are pale, exhausted, bored, cruel, sexual, old, fat, and die easily. Surprisingly, there are several warm scenes such as old songs of World War II, mother and child pastoral songs, beach love, confession of basic friends, etc. Although there is still a magnificent music that burns people to death, the director also softens when he is older? Most of life is a Wednesday or Thursday little...

    3.5. The scene where Carl X took his troops into the bar was quite shocking. But overall it seems less interesting than the previous films, and more pessimistic and depressing. Slightly...

    Anyway, my golden lion is you. We can be either I'm happy to hear you are doing fine on both ends of the phone, nothing to say but everywhere, do you see what people are shouting...

    After watching the content of "Three Meetings with Death" at the beginning of the film, I found that the skin colors of all the characters in the play are like Japanese Noh actors with thick layers of white powder, and the fixed long shot that the director insisted on using is even darker. The feeling of a "stage play" (the audience in front of the screen is like watching a scene from a play). In particular, during the Great Northern War, King Karl XII of Sweden rode into a bar, and in the army...

    Whether today is Wednesday or Thursday - the title of the literary title, in fact, the movie starts with the title, and it is still the director's unique style of narrative language: it seems that every shot can be as tranquil and thorough as a picture. Think about it, the opening scene and the reading of a mentally handicapped child in the middle of the...

    Quiet with cold branches and birds: humorous and melancholic Ukiyo-e



    "A pigeon sitting on a tree branch thinking about existence, it was
    thinking that it had no money, and then it flew away." In the film, a little girl sang like this.



    (Hanzhi Quejing's inspiration "Hunter in the Snow")

    Hanzhi Quejing is such a simple story, or rather a ukiyo-e painting carefully...

    Cold Branch Sparrow View: Abnormal Reality

    If you want to say why you don't like "The Birds of Cold Branches", there are two most intuitive reasons: the non-linear narrative structure is a little confusing; the absurd black humor of European historical themes, as an ordinary audience from other countries, I have a natural sense of cultural...
