Cai Mingliang is no longer limited to closed spaces, but places his vision at a higher place. The extremely internalized emotional expression expresses the lonely and lonely hearts of urban youth with the help of the element [water] to create a situation. The water element runs through the whole film. The appearance of various images such as water/rainwater/sewage/blood water on the ground makes the image fluid. Water not only symbolizes the surging lust but also gives the film a sense of...

8.0/10. ① Dropped the cram school, gave up the joint entrance exam, and went to a wandering small town to do a question. ②It is still an atmosphere of alienation, rendering techniques such as: few dialogues/lines (some parts are relatively more); ambient sound/noise; almost zero off-screen soundtrack (some places); overall fixed or slow moving mirror Long takes (sometimes editing/moving too fast); sometimes sparse vocals with natural tones; lots of alienated compositions (and many not); water...

I haven't had this experience in a long time, and it feels like a movie was made entirely for myself. Xiaokang is silent, autistic, and wants to attract the attention of others, but he is worried that he will be noticed by others. Sometimes I want to speak, but I'm afraid to end the claustrophobic state I'm used to. So he always appears perverse in front of people, always inexplicably silent or irritable. This is the hero of Dostoevsky. "Basement Man" in...

The first Cai Mingliang, good-looking, rebellious and helpless unique to youth, a revenge followed by a rotation, who hurt who, who rescued who, life never has an answer, the most unforgettable is the divided fruit, bubble The house of water, the door gap left, and the...

Cai Mingliang's debut novel, the first of the "Water" trilogy. 1. A work that establishes a style: long shots, fixed camera positions, almost no soundtrack, little dialogue, and noisy ambient sound. 2. It can be roughly summed up as neo-realism focusing on the heart, which seems to have the flavor of Antonioni. 3. Confused and restless youth, undercurrent of lust, and rebellious loneliness. 4. Smashing a car and betting on a keyhole is a metaphor for envy and resistance to heterosexuality. 5....

Cai Mingliang kept it and didn't watch it. This one is not obscure. I like the parallel editing. A little think of Yang Dechang. Those Taiwanese filmmakers really found a way to describe the present. The process of modernization cleanses youth, like cleaning up the motorcycles on the street. Too many details: Emotional hotline on the construction site of low-rent housing for the cockroach god-Buddha cram school...a leaky living room, trekking every day. Such hotels and game arcades still exist...

Blu-ray restoration, Director Cai's debut work is not ordinary, and Li Kangsheng is also tender to death if he does not play long shots. Riding motorcycles, playing video games in the boring world of youth, blending in with the weird smell of other people's failures. In addition to loneliness, there is also the King Tota Li, who were all brought up by...

The artistic conception of Cai Mingliang's film is greater than the meaning. The buddy Xiaokang is quite depressed. Fighting cockroaches is a kind of catharsis. Yes, Taiwanese actors are not...
