I want to be objective, everyone can dance together

Wenders still has a set of documentaries, but talent is different. I used a lot of pans to make traditional documentaries dictate, pushing, pulling, and out of focus. Is Yi using the lens to paint or write poems? What a shame. Just looking at the lens is like a scattered arc, that lyrical. The structure of the whole film is prosaic, and the shots are poetic. Those awesome old men are brought out by the shots of the water like underwater creatures. Coupled with music, it really is. . . It's so smooth.

I never think that documentaries should be absolutely objective and calm. Observation is of course necessary, but your physical and mental dedication is also necessary. The photographer cannot always observe the fire from the sidelines. First of all, you must know that even then you cannot maintain an objective. What is true? This is originally a very false and very dependent proposition. What's more, objective conditions are determined. Once you pick up the camera, it means to record selectively, plus post-editing. It is absolutely impossible to restore all the facts, subjectivity is inevitable. And that kind of indifferent attitude is destined that you will never be able to intervene in the center of the event. If you do not unite with them, you will not be able to understand what those people think. Wenders is different. A considerable number of subjective shots are used in the film (compared to traditional documentaries). You can understand that what we see is what the old men see is what the director sees, so we all The Trinity has become one, because our masses have also been incited, and we have a certain sense of participation.

I like the old man playing the piano most in the diamond striped shirt, especially Yi playing the piano in the gymnasium. The children practicing gymnastics around sway to the music, and Yi recalls in the park full of sturdy monster trees. In the past paragraphs, the lens had close-ups on his wet eyes, and at that moment my tears almost came out. . . There are also a few people playing at the beach (or the lake?), the camera shakes and shakes, into the water, calm water, faint ripples. Hey, the bones must be shaken off. . .

correct. I also like the floral dress of the female vocal, and I must get a set to wear when I have the opportunity to go to South America. . .

All in all, it is very awkward, and only a middle-aged literary like Wenders can produce such a film. It happens that he is still a Leo, and the whole tone is still very pleasant. If you don't look carefully, you can't see the sadness that is almost negligible. . . .

    These Cuban immortals have almost been forgotten by Cubans, let alone known to other parts of the world. They are standing on the prosperous, high-rise buildings, everything you can buy, and people walking on the streets of New York in a hurry. It's so outdated and insignificant. However, once they came into contact with their respective instruments and the music sounded, they became kings of the music world one by one, so free, happy, and wonderful.

    Wenders' first-ever music documentary chronicles the journey of a group of long-forgotten Cuban veterans and the popularity of their global tour. The film uses a three-line cross-narrative - the live concert of the global tour, the scene of the recording and recording in Cuba, and the self-introduction of each member. Wenders carried DV with him to shoot bokeh on the road (it seems that the quality of the restored version does retain the quality of DV), and the camera movement starts with the music, freely and smoothly. The Cuban elders are stunned for their steadfastness and optimism and passion in the face of adversity. PS: It's a pity that the music in the film can't really impress me. (7.0/10)
