A fictitious place

Three unrelated stories are linked together by Elvis Presley. On the surface, this connection does not seem to be able to tell the three story structures into a film, but as long as we understand the creative characteristics of Jiamuxu, it can be explained. The city of Memphis, from "Elvis Presley" to fame and death, his ghost hovered over the city. This city has lost its main body and has now become the "tombstone" and "coffin mound" of "Elvis Presley". This city is a dead city. The characters in the three stories are all wandering. The city becomes an image, the "Elvis" becomes an image, and the topic of "wandering" is still discussed.

    7.0 "Train entering the station" is the starting point of film art, and the train leaving the station is not the end. The aliens in the hometown of Elvis, even Jiamuxu's personal taste is attractive enough. Maybe only real music fans can make such a film, and this buddy Jia Muxu really loves to enjoy life.

    4.3 Rhythm control / Hollowness and detail penetration / The ending and the last scene are good..!
