A complete rewrite of the Western from four dimensions: (1) no lone heroes, just two little people exiled to the wasteland; (2) no celebration of the "spirit of adventure", only a complete failure of the "American Dream"; ( 3) No civilization conquers barbarism, only capital occupiers completely overwhelm the workers at the bottom who seek change; (4) Naturally, the final outcome is not that the hero leaves alone, but two friends stay here forever. Quiet and tender, it is a "cruel" story. It...

Outside... going out to steal milk. Although the unfortunate ending is revealed at the beginning, it still does not affect the delicate tenderness of the whole story. This is also a character who will not be recorded in mainstream history and major event narratives, and who are excluded from the "correct collective memory". s...

Silent Beauty, a magical film. Reichardt provides a little-known construction path in the context of modern civilization, inheriting the new characterization of western films and poetry films, and negotiating with words again and again, converging his edge and digging out human beings in the jungle and mud. Contact the most beautiful state, the tenderness that is lost, the soundtrack is as ancient as Jiamu Xu Xingyun, every musical symbol hits the intersection of eyes, and the mystery of being...

#Berlinale20-11 I was initially impressed by the naturalistic aesthetic style under the 4:3 format. The characters are in coarse clothes, the night scene is dimly lit by candlelight, and the characters are slow-moving, which seems to be as close as possible to the textual reality of the American West in the 1820s. From the perspective of the female director, the white protagonist + Chinese sidekick partner is a kind of deconstruction of the traditional western genre. The two are not cowboys who...

Oh my god, it's actually a story of two men running a bakery, and in this setting, the men who are not in charge of hunting but are in charge of gathering are simply... so cute _(:q"∠)_｜I noticed two in the beginning of the film The relative position of the skeleton hand is now, Lai Juju...

The two rely on each other to support each other and belong to the "weak". They are an anti-hero and anti-individualistic image. The nature of silence and trust between men is also undramatic in cleaning rooms and reuniting homes. The passage is touching; Kelly Reichardt, who is an "observer", shows the most rude but gentle relationship of men, the complex but kind side of human nature is in the background of the pioneer, so she is recalling the purest beauty of friendship at the...

Cookie used to eat local mushrooms and salmon in the river; Chinese people said that the products were made of secret ingredients of ancient "China" when they were hawking; Cookie who had been to Boston would use "milk" to make "bread", and Chief, whose bread taste is connected to London, doesn't seem to know that milk is needed to make bread. All he knows is that the "first cow" is kept in captivity to control the ingredients of the food; at the banquet, the captain could not recognize the...

The unimaginably gentle method of filming brings the film back to a purer texture after dispelling the cruelty. The interdependence of the two in the big environment is smooth and smooth. Welcoming the audience with the two of them through the vibes of chopping wood and shaking the carpet is probably the simplest but most effective...

The first half was really dark. ....

Not to mention that the sympathetic friendship between these two men was so beautifully...
