The composition of each fixed camera long shot is beautiful and harmonious like a sub-picture, and the use of sound is very clever. The contrast between the modern and the traditional, I only feel that the film is only ironic to the modern and modern people, and praises the natural and harmonious traditional life. Towards the end, I feel that people have been alienated by modernization, but they still retain their beautiful humanity in the deeper layers. For example, mother helps Hu Luo to speak, father still gives Hu Luo a new job, and father and son finally play together. Although modernization is accompanied by the roar of machinery to eliminate tradition and replace it, the external natural tradition is gradually swallowed by modernization, but those who are modernized will also try to break away from modernity and go back to pursue the natural beauty of the past. At the end of the film, when Luo leaves, the father and son rebuild their relationship. The happy town is no longer happy, but there are cute puppies walking through it. Sadness and joy are intertwined. In the end, the white curtains swayed to cover the town, as if it were all a good dream. Such a humorous and profound expression with unique aesthetics is worth watching again and again.
