A drop in the ocean is nothing but a human being

When we are accustomed to living in our own environment and focusing on communication in a single dimension, we gradually ignore deeper thinking. Even, life is too short, there is no need to think about what there is, there is no value, and there is no help... This is indeed an idea I have had in the past few years. After several turnovers, I finally settled down and watched this famous documentary "Reincarnation-samsara", and I was deeply touched. The director and his team use their perspective to present to the audience a state of things from multiple perspectives and dimensions. There is no dialogue, no communication, or even a story. They just narrate their world through the distant background. The director may want to express something, or nothing at all... More is the audience's thinking. Buildings standing under the starry sky, dignified and solemn religious statues, devout believers... Under the same universe and the same space, everything in the world is doing similar but different things, which is a bit emotional. With the passage of time, what remains unchanged is the reincarnation of all things. Humans are just the smallest arrogant but tenacious and pious creature in the long river of time. During the viewing process, I was shocked by the mysterious Buddha statue, moved by the pure eyes, sighed by the development of the industrialized society, and surprised by the uniform worship... There are too many things to express, and I think about it. Just leave some room for thought. This documentary is quite recommended. I believe that different people will have different feelings. An ordinary life always requires one or two ideological collisions, right?

    Some films are made to nourish rationality and need language as a medium, but this film is made to nourish sensibility, it has no language. The director uses the concept of taking pictures to make a film, and the visual enjoyment brought to people is unlimited. Structure and clues are worth taking out to sort out. It probably tells the story from leaving to returning. Although it is the magnified nature and the magnified people that are fixed in the frame, how can we ignore the life of the insignificant people inside?

    In fact, some of the shots overlap with time and space. My favorite is the Xuan Huang, but everything can be reincarnated in everything. If you take a closer look at such a photographic art documentary, you can experience the passage of time and time the most.
