    A group image narrative structure unique to the movie, and life itself

    "Nashville" is a musical film. The film story takes place when politicians are canvassing votes on the eve of the presidential election. The five days full of country music spent in Nashville through 24 characters satirize the falseness of the American dream and (part of) the false enthusiasm and...

    "Nashville"

    10/10 A miniature American social model, from political elections, entertainment and business and other social surface noises and commotions straight to the multi-dimensional interpretation of history and reality in the hearts of Americans of all ages, metaphors and analyzes the murders of public...

    "Nashville" has Ultraman's purest appearance of consciousness, full of independent and perceptual micro-connections Ukiyo-e. For example, the method of creating characters is to create characters in the previous context and then put them in the next context. At the same time, the entanglement of different stories also marked each other in this scene of the hippies. Subtle and precise commentary, which means the use of rural folk songs that are consistent but deeply rooted in lyrics, combined with meticulous and eclectic paintings. The epitome of disenchantment that can still be spied to this day, tolerant and avant-garde.

  • Opal: [speaking into a micro recorder as she walks through a school bus parking lot] The buses! The buses are empty and look almost menacing, threatening, as so many yellow dragons watching me with their hollow, vacant eyes. I wonder how many little black and white children have yellow nightmares, their own special brand of fear for the yellow peril... Damn it, it's got to be more... positive. No, more negative! Start again. Yellow is the color of caution. No. Yellow is the color of cowardice. Yellow is the color of sunshine. And yet I see very little sunshine in the lives of all the little black and white children. I see their lives, rather, as a study in grayness, a mixture of black and... Oh, Christ, no. That's fascist. Yellow! Yellow, yellow, yellow. Yellow fever...
