It's not necessarily a happy thing to have a bad taste rise to academic research. When one day a professor gives you a list of all kinds of hard-flavoured niche films and asks you to watch it, even if it suits your aesthetic taste or pretends B needs, I'm a bit forced. The reality is that there are still a lot of things in the list that are beyond your tolerance. Another thing that Jiang is still old and hot is that the professor is more serious than you and has a darker psychology than you....

David Cronenberg, who finally made a cult film, also fell in love with pretending
The first contact with David Cronenberg was recommended by his cousin. During dinner with the family, my cousin told us the plot of "The Flies" vividly at the dinner table. At that time, when I was young, I hurried home and watched it with Xunlei download. It was an eye-opener and refreshed my understanding. David Cronenberg's previous cult films are really good, and the content is visually appealing, although it can sometimes cause discomfort in the audience.
But the world is...

"Metropolis": When Rats Become Money Circulation
Because time is now a common property, it belongs to the system of the free market. "Now" becomes harder to find. ——"Metropolis"
The original book of the same name of "Metropolis" describes the story that happened in one day. The protagonist of the novel, Eric Parker, is a twenty-eight-year-old billionaire living in New York. It's his nature to keep grabbing new things in the world. One day in April 2000, he planned to drive through New York City to get a haircut. On the way, he kept...

The taste of the last days exists in the luxury and erosion of luxury cars, and in the cross-flow of sewage in the poor streets;
Exist in the present world with infinite fear of the future and paranoid interpretation of the past;
The self-anaesthesia that exists at the lower end of the food chain and imagines the emptiness and loneliness of the upper layer;
Finance, health, sex, technology... In the huge machine of capital operation, it turns out that we are just parts that...

Never try to wake someone who is pretending to be asleep
Like "Sacred Car Dealer" (people who have watched it will definitely think like me that there are too many similarities between these two films...), they are two amazing and absurd works in 2012, which run through the whole film. The massive metaphors and ironies of reality, the contempt and disdain for the future development of science and technology can not bring people the same sense of happiness... There are too many points worth pondering and thinking about in it, and it is a movie worth...

I don't want to talk about the tone the movie is trying to bring us to the movie. I like the dialogue. There is absolutely no logic. Meeting in the car. who cares in such a...

A/ Cronenberg does not set up some kind of "primitive" picture for the characters to look back on. He only allowed them to distort quietly, "piercing" the "normality" with a mechanical, cold, even dislocated and broken poetic quality, so as to deeply depict the rigid density that is absolutely condensed in the present. This extremely tactile character construction method tries to touch the outside of the uncontrollable character, and the audience's eyes are drawn by this thread and fall into...

Three and a half. Actually it's still...
Eric Packer: The city eats and sleep noise. It makes noise out of every century. It makes the same noise it made in the 17th century, along with all the other noises that have evolved since then. But I don't mind the noise - the noise energizes me. The important thing is that it's there.
Vija Kinsky: What is the flaw of human rationality?
Eric Packer: What?
Vija Kinsky: It pretends not to see the horror and death at the end of the schemes it builds. This is a protest against the future. They won't hold off the future. They want to normalize it, keep it from overwhelming the present. The future is always a wholeness, a sameness, we're all tall and happy there. This is why the future fails. It can never be the cool and happy place we want to make it.
Vija Kinsky: People will not die. Isn't this the creed of the new culture? People will be absorbed in streams of information. I know nothing about this. Computers will die. They're dying in their present form. They're just about dead as distinct units. A box, a screen, a keyboard, are melting into the texture of everyday life. Is this not true?
Eric Packer: Even the word "computer"...
Vija Kinsky: Even the word "computer" sounds backward and dumb.
