The epitome of capitalism

The biggest feeling is that the director's control of the camera and the picture is quite similar to the after reading of Lu Xun's article when he was a student: "The gloomy weather generally heralds the tragic fate of the protagonist, setting off the bleak atmosphere, revealing social phenomena, and providing the tragic following. The plot foreshadows - but everything is still moving forward without rushing...". Most of the tone of the whole film gives me a deep feeling of unhappiness and despair, and some of the rare happy scenes are mostly sunsets and bass background sounds. The sense of the camera is very strong. Cowboys, ugly-faced bankers, and town dwellers with distinct love and hate.
Apart from the beautiful and a little sad scenery, what impressed me most was the tension of the male protagonist for a few minutes when he passed the road check. The director's "malicious" slowing down the rhythm gives a more realistic feeling. You can even feel the heartbeat of the hero. Seriously, I even remembered the nervousness that the teacher walked up to my seat step by step when I didn't do my homework and hand it in in hopes of getting away with it when I was a kid.
Finally, I would like to recommend the picture of this movie again. It's really great. I don't know if it's a road movie, but a lot of driving scenes are very comfortable. As for the acting, I think it's great, but I won't make unprofessional evaluations. After all, there are too many specialties in Podou, in short, it is better than the Great Wall (smile).
ps: This is the first time to write, it should be quite sb, look lightly, please feel free to read it
