    I bought it in 2005, and I just finished reading it today. I also want to hang around like this and follow it like kevin smith!...

    The look and feel is somewhat similar to Jarmusch's "Coffee and Cigarette", but in form, all the characters are connected by scheduling and camera movement, but this is also where the film is stronger than "Coffee". The perceived state of community...

    There is no plot, no protagonist, the lines are so trivial that it is crazy, and even the theme is not set, but only those observations of the society that I have filmed, and it is in a fragmented form. Walking on the road, I overheard a few gossip from passers-by, and began to imagine the scene of this conversation, the follow-up direction, and even the life of each participant. Unfortunately, our curiosity will never be satisfied, just like A movie that should not be our presence is the...

    Captured my everyday fantasy. Through cameras, eavesdropping peeks at people's daily conversations, giving solutions to curiosity. Moon travel lies, anarchist conversations, breaking up with my boyfriend of two years, ants eating up my biscuits... No matter what class, what religion, left or right art against art, it's all fine different. It's all bullshit, but life is worth...

    Omg, I'm exhausted, but it's over. The camera is also an urban ronin, following one after another, recording the state of youth in that era. The transition is very interesting, and it becomes boring after watching it for a long time, because after watching it for a while, I found that there is no protagonist, and there is no main line. With emotion, no matter how poor young Americans are, they still have a...

    #False Documentary# The use of non-professional actors is similar to harsh environments. The director is not looking for poor acting skills, but to find people who often look more credible in poor neighborhoods or rural story environments. These ordinary people may be too fat, or not so young and good-looking, unlike the handsome actors who act in one movie after another. These non-professional actors thus appear more "real". ################################################# The film was shot...

    Meet the scumbag again; the story progresses like a baton, but in fact there is no...

    It's a bit too random, but I really like the opening part of Linklater's speech to the taxi driver. I also often wonder if the different options have another reality. I think they're the only...

    Purposeless Solitaire stories, Linklater was also used later, such as Waking Life and Boyhood, the latter two are connected to dreams and time, full of no wave cinema flavor. He also showed his bohemian attitude to life long ago, full of curiosity about the world but passive, with a self-set method of understanding the world that few people would agree with, living carelessly, but also living a life of...

    Especially people have the urge to make independent movies on their own

    Richard Linklater, in terms of film techniques, Boyhood and Before Midnight, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset trilogy are all synchronized with the real world time. Such obsessions are exchanged for a moving sense of reality, which can be described as experimental. Practical life. And the other one,...

    The story is not necessary

    The director said. Watching the movie, you can really feel the weight of this sentence on the screen.

Slacker quotes

  • Video Backpacker: To me, my thing is, a video image is much more powerful and useful than an actual event. Like back when I used to go out, when I was last out, I was walking down the street and this guy, that came barreling out of a bar, fell right in front of me, and he had a knife right in his back, landed right on the ground and... Well, I have no reference to it now. I can't put it on pause. I can't put it on slow mo and see all the little details. And the blood, it was all wrong. It didn't look like blood. The hue was off. I couldn't adjust the hue. I was seeing it for real, but it just wasn't right. And I didn't even see the knife impact on the body. I missed that part.

  • Disgruntled Grad Student: Every action is a positive action, even if it has a negative result.
