I have heard people say that there is a bird in this world that has no feet. It can only fly and fly all the time. When it is tired, it sleeps in the wind... This kind of bird can only land once in its life, and that is when it dies. when.
——There

is a kind of movie in this world, which is born to challenge the limit of human endurance and endurance. "Escape into Nothingness" is undoubtedly the best of this kind. When I watched this movie, my mind flashed back over and over again the line about the bird in the real life of Ah Fei, and I prayed again and again, that soul, that bird that had no feet and rammed everywhere , and quickly fall into the Pacific Ocean.

The storyline is astonishingly simple - after a drug dealer was killed by the police, his soul went out of his body, and after sorting out the magnificent and tragic life of him and his sister, he wandered strangely in the bizarre streets of Tokyo, with his sister as the center and acquaintances as the radius, until Get reborn.

About the camera, friends who have seen the irrevocable should have a deep understanding. Yes, it is the kind of hand-cranked rotating camera that can make healthy men instantly produce the terrible shaking of pregnancy reaction. In the irrevocable half an hour, if you still If you can grit your teeth and persist, then congratulations, this time you will face two and a half hours of vertigo. For the consideration of human perseverance, this movie is undoubtedly the best touchstone. Those who successfully pass the test are all idlers.

As a good young man in the new era who was born under the red flag, grew up in the new society, and was educated by the central ideology for many years, after watching the movie, the inertial sense of mission made me feel like I was on pins and needles, because I had to extract from such a long and boring movie. A thought-provoking education. My final conclusion is: After more than two hours of excruciating floating, after more than two hours of refraining from yelling and begging for an early passage of time, the out-of-body soul finally got a new life. It is enough to prove how difficult it is to be reborn, and we should cherish the current life.

    Life is but a fleeting light between two eternal darks (Nabokov). Isn't it the same with movies, "In the beginning it was dark..." (Landscape in the fog)

    The 2 and a half hours of flashing laser lights and switching of psychedelic lenses made my eyes unbearable.
