      Nezha is not dead, long live Nezha

      A friend watched "Youth Nezha" and said that Aze's eyebrows would resemble me a little bit.

      And the reason why I didn't read it before was just because another friend said it was all water, so I believed it.

      Flowing, still, pouring, undercurrent.

      For any one of the reasons, I watched it, and watched it very deeply. There have been so many DVDs on the shelf, unorganized, unopened, or even touched, I always thought I had no time, and they wouldn't go away....

      Youth Corner---Twisted Wheel

      It's already late at night, and I just finished watching "Youth Nezha", and I like the feeling of my fingers tapping on the keyboard at this time.
      The reason why I like Taiwanese art films is very simple, because the pace is very slow, usually 3 to 4 hours, so I can do some other things during the time I watch the film, memorize Japanese words, or read English novels, and then watch The people on the screen live a monotonous life similar to himself, as if the two worlds are parallel....

      perverted child

      Games, movies, the best pastimes this year.
          People are always in a state of madness. Sometimes they are crazy about games, sometimes they are crazy about movies, and when they are quiet, they always feel empty, but time has passed.
          Recently, I finally stopped WOW (promiscuous shouting WOW~~~), and watched some movies. I remember that some of them were fun to watch, but after watching them, I couldn't remember which ones I watched.
          The young Nezha was quite impressed....

      Become Nezha for Dad

      The Nezha who rebelled against his father in the Conferred Gods List made me feel too strong. Maybe I didn't understand the humanistic feelings that had gone through the beacon fire. Cai Mingliang's Nezha brought me closer to the beautiful world of philistines. The verdict and anguish are not only for Nezha, but it is not the depression and rebellion that made Nezha become Nezha, it was the "Tota King" who was the driver who made Nezha become Nezha. The one who kept the door open and waited...

      My Hong Kong Film Festival - the boring Cai Mingliang

      I have been writing movie notes in English before, but when I get excited, I think I have no rules. I know that I am still incompetent in English. I remember Xiaoyin said before that when she went to see a psychiatrist abroad, her scalp felt numb. Because she wanted to express that she was anxious, not just anxious, but more anxious, but she could only tell the doctor anxious, not knowing if the doctor could understand her.

      My Hong Kong Film Festival has started. There are six films...

      Although it is called Nezha, it is not actually a rebellion against the patriarchy, but a rebellion without a reason (the James Dian poster in the camera is exposed!) It was shot very youthfully, the rainy Taipei and the floating room are full of youth, depression and agitation Emotions. But the whole thing is a little dull, and Li Kangsheng's energy has not yet come out. Wang Yuwenmei is dead! !...

      1. The first part of the water trilogy, the prequel to Long Live Love, and Cai Mingliang's film debut. 2. Two directors like water the most, one is Tarkovsky, his water is alive, and he talks about the reasons and memories; the other is Cai, his water is stagnant water, and he talks about infiltration and congestion. 3. Cai's films are extremely honest. He said that all the suffering of young people is nothing but sexual repression and deformation. Furthermore, the fortune-telling is Nezha, but...

      It turns out that Cai Mingliang has been so obsessed with and good at sketching the cycle of water from the beginning. In the sultry and humid Taipei, the fate of two seemingly diametrically opposed teenagers came to the same fate. A poem written by bodily fluids, the youthful "rebellious" surging in them still can't escape the city's...

      @TinySalt — 12th-day. Really like the early Jia Zhangke (or vice versa). Although the background is Taiwan in the 1990s, it always feels a bit overlapping with the small inland town in my memory. The line of Xiaokang is more touching, and the child who is silent is...

    Movie plot

    A Ze and Xiao Kang are rebellious youths who often haunt Ximending. Azer made a living by stealing motherboards from an electric toy store, while Xiaokang skipped classes from the cram school and took the returned tuition to kill time. Xiaokang decided not to take the joint entrance examination, and went to Ximending to hang out, and he met A Ze. A Ze, a typical delinquent teenager, is either driving electric cars all day long, or...

    • [first lines]

      Mother: What on earth happened? You are all bloody. What happened?

    • Hsiao-Kang: Hi, Dad.

      Mother: You actually remembered to come home. So where were you the last few days? You are too much. You are getting out of hand.

      Father: He's not coming in!
