This time, I read a story about a donkey. There is not much dialogue, but the way of speaking is very refined: I use the "life experience" of a donkey to connect the affairs of several families in a small town (small town? Village?), with animals as the main line. The center of the circle, this is one. Changes, conflicts and contradictions in people's lives are often presented as "what the donkey sees," - Bresson said, and everything that happens away from the donkey is clipped. In the film, the donkey is often seen blinking and blinking, with an unfathomable expression. This is two. In the European literary tradition, the donkey is a metaphor for bearing humiliation, eroticism, absurdity, and at the same time wise and foolish. Using this as a link, the reflected world situation has multiple settings. This is three. The occurrence and development of things are subtly attached to the transfer of the donkey, and there is no unnecessary explanation of the ups and downs, which is very simple. This is four.
In the life of the story, the donkey is a domestic animal, which is domesticated and closely integrated with people's life. It is not loved by ornamental hunting, nor is it an object that needs to be feared and conquered. It is a thing-in-itself that does not require people to think about "being" or "nothing". At the same time, it is a little funny and embarrassing because it is about to be eliminated: the juxtaposition of mechanized tools such as donkey carts and motorcycles is very comical. Correspondingly, the people and things in the story are always misplaced: a virtuous but stubborn father, a beautiful and rebellious daughter, a relationship with a wrong door, a dull youth who can’t get love, someone who gains an inheritance and then dies ( ?) ... In fact, the so-called dislocation is that people have to act according to their own personality and dislocation occurs with each other. until death.
