    When the protagonist went to QA, about half of the people were crazy about asking about director Aki~ I didn’t look at it with any expectations (even worried about whether I would fall asleep), but found that the refugee theme can have such a new style. The interpretation is really good: when this matter becomes necessary, one should study how to discuss it instead of thinking about "avoiding" it. The concise picture, the excellent use of music, the smooth narrative...all surprise...

    Three and a half. See also the subject of refugees. The shooting is very unique, not in a high-level or deliberately realistic way. The first half of the Syrian refugees and the ordinary Finnish middle class are parallel. You are wondering how the director will make these two. When the characters converge, the two parties' respective punches make the development direction of the whole story abruptly changed. If Finland has a censorship system similar to that of the General Directorate, it is...

    Ashamed, this is my first Aki. After watching it, sitting in the huge theater to show the Buddha is a kind of joy of socializing with the heaven and the earth.

It is not so much that he is discussing social issues, it is better to say that he is in a self-made In the Utopia, always humorous, neither humble nor overbearing, resist all the malice from the...

    Yi Nai appeared in the market instead of inhabiting under the Cangwu

    The performances of the characters in the films of Ozu Yasujiro, Roy Anderson, and Aki Kaurismaki can all be described as "stiff", but there are differences between them. Ozu Yasujiro's is "stiff but not rigid". In most cases, actors have a shallow smile, no major emotional ups and downs, and...

    the other side of hope

    When I saw the name of this movie, I also thought, what is the other side of hope. It's like a poem from my childhood, what is on the other side of the mountain. Maybe, it's a little worse than hoped?
