This is not a film review, just some fragmented ideas.

1. The ticket decided to buy half an hour before the opening of the movie, the eighth in the audience. The main reason is that the fare is half cheaper than in Shanghai. I regretted it after watching it, not because of the movie, but because of the people who watched the movie. I should buy the previous one so that I can book the show.

2. The theater environment is a bit bad, the ticket inspector doesn't know where they are going, I went to find it. The back door was not closed at the beginning of the movie, and I was probably waiting for other people who didn't come in.

3. After the movie started, other talents came in. The front row of a man kept playing on his cell phone, but the screen was dimmed; in the back three or four people, a man’s cell phone was dimmed, suspected to be taking photos. . The next three men and three women came in late, using their mobile phones as flashlights, and chatting intermittently while watching the movie. I sat in the last row, and then another uncle came, and I knew that it was cleaning.

4. Regarding the movie, I personally think that the atmosphere in front is quite good. Later, the movie became more and more psychedelic, and I became more and more confused. But I laughed in many places, and I think the director is really humorous.

5. The favorite segment is the one that sings Wu Bai's song.

6. The ability is limited. I didn't see the long shots so amazing. I just felt that a few almost fixed shots were continuously together, and I didn't feel any scheduling. One question is: Is the existence of this long lens necessary for the film? Do you have to do this? It may be that the 3D effect of the theater I watched is not good, and there is no immersive integration.

7. I haven't watched "Roadside Picnic", and I can't say likes or dislikes to the director. I agree that literary films should also be marketed, but I feel that such marketing methods will hurt literary films.

8. This may be the last movie I saw in Taotiotiao that should not be scored low, but the final score is incredibly low.

9. This movie should be more suitable for one person or several people. Watching it in a closed space, you may be able to see a different feeling. But movie theaters can’t work. As far as the current reality is concerned, more than 90% of people who enter the movie theater feel that it is not for movies, let alone to understand literary and artistic films. It is of course necessary for a literary film to reach the public and have a dialogue, but most of the current audiences do not have the preparation and ideas for this kind of dialogue, and the marketing side does not feel the meaning of sincere dialogue, so the audience who buys tickets will be deceived. It feels like, although they did not do it for the movie but for the gimmick, although their bad reviews may indeed be exposing their ignorance, but it is them who pay for the movie, so these two or three days of box office, filming, word-of-mouth It just collapsed like this.

10. The meaning of anti-injury literary and artistic films is that there is actually a sense of distance between literary and artistic films and most of the audience. In the past, literary and artistic films are more for those who want to watch them and do not have much desire for the box office. ; Audiences who do not want to watch will know clearly that it may not be their food, and then choose to watch or not to watch it. But the marketing this time gave these audiences an illusion: This seems to be my dish? If this is really to shorten the distance directly, it would be too eager to get it done, and it would be a way of coaxing and deceiving. Yes, whoever believes in deserves it. If he doesn't understand the background or foundation, he is self-righteous and it is indeed the audience's own ignorance. But is this kind of thinking too selfish? Is there no sense of sincere dialogue?

11. After the game is over, come out of the elevator with the three men and three women. A man’s storytelling is really not compact. It took two minutes to watch an apple. According to a woman, it's uglier than "Li Cha's Aunt" and "Fang Hua".

12. The last movie with a similar experience seemed to be "Assassin Nie Yinniang", but this time the marketing movement was greater, so the result was even worse. But I personally don't think that the audience will be obedient, and there will definitely be another time.

13. At the box office, if you want more audiences to pay for your movie willingly; in terms of content, if you want more audiences to appreciate your movie, I think you should not use this method.

14. This movie is very psychedelic, I want the audience to feel like a dream, but for me personally, I have had thousands of strange dreams, but I have never had such a dream. The people in the dream have spoken all kinds of languages, but at any rate they are all human words.

15. The dialogue feels too unlike what a normal person says. No matter if you are talking in sleep, talking, or insane, what you say should always be in line with the speaker's identity. But what the people in this movie say are all cryptic, they all have the same tone, and they are very special.

16. At present, most of the audience go to the movie theater. If it is not sound, it is the same as visiting the kiln in ancient times. The main purpose is to be cool. At this time, if you tell him, come to us, our girl is proficient in everything. Okay, then they came in. They couldn't understand your high mountains and flowing water, and they couldn't understand your neon clothes. You told him that you should not just indulge in the temporary pleasures of the flesh, you should pursue higher and more useful things, you Guess if he will call you crazy?

    After the second scan, I suddenly discovered that this was a story of looking for a mother. Whether it was Wan Qiwen or Kelly, it seemed that it might be the reaction of Luo Hongwu's Oedipus complex. No matter whether it is memory or dream, it is not for love. In the end, the scene with Zhang Aijia seems to be the real eye of the scene-farewell to the mother's attachment, and reconciliation to her mother's resentment. This way of thinking about the film is quite fun. Especially the scene of eating apples is my favorite scene. Li Hongqi is amazing. This scene is comparable to that of Rooney Mara in "A Floating Ghost". Bi Gan has become a master of spectacle creation. He has made a 360-degree upgrade of "Roadside Picnic", which is different from the lightness and dexterity of "Roadside Picnic". "The Last Night on Earth" is more graceful and luxurious. The internal reason for this change is I I think it is the anxiety of the creator. "The Last Night on Earth" is a very anxious movie. It has the outer shell of Bi Gan's author style, but inside is a Bi Gan who avoids anxiety. Of course, this is not necessarily a bad thing, because keeping anxiety is the source of the creator's creation. One, in this way, I am looking forward to what kind of system upgrades will be made in the next Bi Gan

    I may be one of the few children in the emperor's new clothes. I really didn't get any intentions. The dazzling skills were talked about by a bunch of film critics. Unfortunately, this violates the essence of the movie. All I know is that the foreigners next to me are all snoring, and the screening is over, they politely clap for a while and then leave quickly. They seem to have a question in their minds, what does this movie want to express?
