When I watched the first half, I felt that he would definitely draw a dragon slowly, but I didn't expect the third act to fall directly from the cliff, so bad that there was no transition, it was a blow. It feels like he has no way to photograph things he is not familiar with, cannot find the essence or taste, and does not understand that creativity is his weakness. An unfinished landscape is just ink spilled by the...

A shattered cultural puzzle and an empty movie baguwen. Since "The Good Man in Three Gorges", the section chief has become more and more lazy, as if "this is contemporary China" can make the film have self-evident legitimacy. He does not need to polish the characters' motives and automatically represents the people. My dissatisfaction with Jia is not his flattery and pandering, but his one-sidedness and mistakes in his observation of Chinese society. Obviously it is a common conversation...

The focus of the story is on Shen Tao, but the play is not on her at all. This script is really self-willed. The video finally fully compromised with the market, but the high-profile singing became louder and louder. Every scene is ambitious and terribly rudimentary. If you show emotional conflict, there will be a crash, and if you show that the man is dead, he will let him see a tiger in a cage, which is naive. Jia is still so keen to collect a large number of symbols to pile up on the screen,...

In the era of great change, the Chinese who are going out in a certain way have nowhere to put their souls, but many places still appear "deliberate", such as screen size changes (the alienation of characters is not shown), fried glaciers, and plane crashes ( Not a good way to express emotions), a boy with a big knife (a very weak performance of the real rebels in the era). Elements like caged tigers, loss of native language, overturned coal trucks, invitations, keys, guns, etc. are...

In fact, this is a science fiction film, after all, it will be played until 2025. ....

It looks better than expected, not as blunt as "Tian Destined", but there are still science fiction elements... (After reading Xu Zhiyuan's "Thirteen Invitation" interview with Jia Zhangke, it was changed to three points, and the previous long comment that praised Jia Zhangke was deleted....

The first 2/3 is a steady Jia-style tune, skillful, full marks. The latter 1/3 Jia's innovation is not as good as before, but he appreciates his...

#BIFF# Two and a half stars. Highlights: Zhang Aijia's performance. The transference relationship in the third paragraph. Ye Qianwen's "Treasure" in three contexts. Disadvantages: Zhao Tao acts fake. Characterization/stereotyping of character sets. Symbolic reference is too direct (Tao-Waves; Motherland-Mother,...

Ye Qianwen's "Precious" floats in Australia in 2025, complementing those Chinese immigrants who still look very local. The section chief's understanding of film narratives has not improved much, but his dedication to ambush reality is really touching. I love Fenyang, I love Zhao Tao, and I will never change my life. There is no second director in the country who can do...

Lyrical, so lyrical! Jia Zhangke uses the core of a melodrama to drive the "Chinese story", changing the frame to reflect the era, taking into account the sense of reality and magic. Zhao Tao repeatedly asked, is it an algebra problem or a geometric problem? The former is China's GDP, the latter is a triangular relationship; the former is "mountains and rivers", and the latter is "an old friend". Being a stranger in a foreign land alone, the sound of the waves is still heartbroken. See it and...
