This film has an extremely simple plot, extremely simple super-long shots, and the soundtrack of Arvo Part, the representative of modern musicians' minimalism, which constitutes such an extremely simple life journey. For this kind of film, there will be some people who like it very much, and some people will hate it very much. Although I admit that I also have sleepy time when watching less than 50 shots, but there is no doubt that I am the first One genre (for the second, this hour-and-forty-minute movie is like a lullaby that is incredibly fast).
The beginning of the film is the road on the wasteland. The car is driving aimlessly on the road. The surrounding mountains, wasteland and the dense white clouds in the sky are constantly changing with the driving of the car. This kind of feeling, like when I took the train home from a long journey, and stared blankly at the scenery outside the window that was changing every moment, but seemed to be the same. At this time, I would feel like I was not As if it existed, everything around it seemed to be changing and still seemed to be still. Such a self is easy to get lost. Sure enough, the car stopped, the two got out of the car, and walked aimlessly into the distance.
They just walked in the wasteland like this, kept walking, the surrounding scenery sometimes changed, sometimes the same, the two didn't talk much, the scenery of the wasteland was very beautiful, when they reached a place, they finally decided to go back , Only at this time did I realize that I had already remembered the original path. So inexplicably lost in the desert, just like me, at a certain moment, inexplicably lost in the torrent of this world without knowing the way back.
So they tried to find the way they came, but everything seemed to be annihilated by the wind and sand. The two Gerrys also separated to find their way back, but they still got together, the desert Gobi, the steep rocks, the clouds in the sky Rolling, the sun gradually set. In the dark night of the desert, the fire was bright and dark, a Gerry talked about his game, and the various changes of the empire gradually disappeared in this desert. The red sun rose from the sky and turned the world red. It was a new day, but for the two Gerrys, they had to keep going.
They need to find water, they try to follow the footprints of animals, but they only come to a larger desert, an endless white desert, they have no choice, they continue to walk, to a commanding height, under the blue sky, can only To see this desert and the mountains in the distance is a kind of despair, a hopeless despair. One Gerry cried hopelessly, and the other told him not to cry. At this time, they had no choice, no goal, and they had to keep walking in this world. At this time, it is no longer a matter of survival. Human beings, in this world, are still insignificant, and walking down is the only thing they can do. I don't know, when I really lose my choice, what else can I do to keep going?
This scenery is both familiar and unfamiliar. The clouds are rolling and the clouds are flowing, and the desert is not changed because of the two Gerry. This is the way of life in nature. The rise and fall of the sun are as magnificent. The desert is as vast, and only people change. They are vulnerable because of dehydration, because of despair, the crying Gerry has hallucinations, hallucinations to find water, find a car, find a way, this fantasy is a fragile bubble like a mirage, life cannot exist in bubbles, life cannot exist in The hallucination continues.
Music is simple and only has a few notes, just like this simple life journey, a few notes can form a continuous movement. The churning of the clouds makes people fascinated and intoxicated. There are still mountains in the distance, and the wind and sand hurt people's eyes, but there is only this endless desert in front of them. They started arguing about directions, even though they knew in their hearts that there wasn't much difference in either direction for them now, another night came, no dialogue, silent night. In the hazy morning light, they were already staggering, walking one after the other on the white saline-alkali land. The sky is getting brighter gradually, the endless white, the blue sky, the pure color makes people breathless, the two of them are one after the other, struggling to move forward slowly on the saline-alkali land.
Finally, to the limit of the body. The two people on the white saline-alkali land had no breath of life, but they seemed to be breathing. The fragile Gerry finally knew that the time was up. He said to the other Gerry: I'm leaving, and then, there was only one Gerry. He didn't even cry for himself, and then, he had hallucinations, he was standing on the road, and he stopped a car. He opened his eyes, the blue sky, the white saline-alkali land, he struggled to get up, he struggled to walk forward, he struggled to run, because, within the range of vision, at the end of this saline-alkali land, there was The dust from cars, the end of this saline-alkali land, is hope.
Only one Gerry survived. He was sitting in the car, silently opening the window to the scenery that seemed to change and didn't change. Does he still feel lost? A child in the car, with innocent eyes, is also staring at this desert. This seemingly unchanged landscape, this simple journey of life, will never end.
