Imbalance is also normal

When a friend recommended me to watch it, I felt that I could not make a grand narrative poem. After reading it, the interpretation of the theme is a lot, it can be grand, it can be very limited, and it is limited to the natural scenery of the United States and American society.

The lens language in the 1982 documentary was quite experimental. Although it did not have a strong narrative logic, it seemed to exist as a dictionary. Obviously, I saw some image language in it that Wong Kar-wai would use. Language is used for sharing, for better creation, and even for creation.

The chapters of the symphony of human society are very funny and game-like. Groups of human beings are moving in an orderly manner like cells, and the pictures are cut interestingly. For a while, sausages are made in the factory, and then a large number of people line up.

The last picture shows a satellite failed to launch. At first, I wonder if there will be no one in the object that the picture is chasing after. Later, I realized that it was just a satellite. It must be a metaphor for the rapid decline of human science and technology civilization to achieve the problem of the imbalanced life of the subject. But this will be another manifestation of human arrogance, thinking that knowing everything and imbalance is not the normal life of most people? Shouldn't it be accepted?

    Moved and cry. The sound and picture fit 100%, which was originally collected as a neighbor of Grasse. Zeng was in a remote hotel late at night and saw the lights outside the window and heard the sound of cars on the road. Human civilization is so beautiful, but it will eventually disappear, which is very, very regrettable. Mechanization, industrialization, and unbalanced modern life are all the beauty of civilization. Humans must go out, and in such a large universe, ants must also live hard.

    Photographer Ron Fricke’s broad perspective is full of god-like beauty. The director’s rhythm is very precise. Even if there is no language, it is completely driven by the seamless soundtrack of glass. The audience can bring their own understanding and emotions as if they are watching an opera. Go in. The first part of the Qatsi trilogy comes from the great 80s, from the most glorious era of avant-garde art.
