The second time I watched "Reincarnation", I had a deeper feeling than the first time.
Many of the shots are aerial shots, as if following the director to look down on the earth we live in from "God's point of view". The shots pass through the virgin forest and the modern bustling city, and the people in the city are represented by the acceleration lens, small and busy, in a hurry. Many people in China are busy without even knowing why, and their hearts are filled with confusion and desire. Therefore, people seek comfort and answers in various religious beliefs. The camera switches to African primitive tribes. In a close-up manner, the tribesmen stare at the camera, as if they are a silent torture of our urbanites. Humans were only a small group in Africa at first. In the film, the director uses a lot of contrasting techniques, the contrast between nature and the city, the contrast between the slums and the rich, the contrast between humans and animals, the contrast between war and peace, the contrast between life and death, which strongly impact our existing Concept, and finally the camera switched to an exquisite sand painting in Tibet. When people were amazed at its beauty, the lamas erased the painting without hesitation and mixed it into a pile of colored sand. All prosperity and delicacy returned to silence. , as if to tell us that this is reincarnation, all things are like meteors, fireworks, and short-lived flowers, which have existed and are lost. People are too arrogant, but in fact they are as small as dust. What is the real meaning of life? The problem is left to ourselves. In the face of anyone and everything, be more compassionate.

    Unknown Jue Li's nature/humanities documentary. Many pictures are shocking. For example, the lamas who painted the mandala, the abandoned houses that have been eroded by quicksand for a long time, the performance art of concrete painted faces, the assembly line workers working like ants in Chinese factories, the residents of slums, the production of Japanese sex toys, the Muslims who worship in the holy city of Mecca Wait. But overall there is no feeling of reincarnation, but every clip is good

    The soundtrack turns the picture into a miracle, and the picture makes the soundtrack full of legends. Full marks? One of the best documentaries I've seen so far. The photography and soundtrack are pretty perfect. The only nitpick is that there are no subtitles to identify the country or location.
