We all live in our own imaginary world!

I always want to be different when I grow up

I always wanted to wait until I was independent and it would be different

I often think that when I get it, it will be different

tossing in every city

experienced one after another

I'm used to parting but reluctant to part

Sitting in the subway watching the time in front of you and the light behind you

The feeling of fear is especially the beast, the emptiness is so desolate

So different, why are they so similar

Sitting in the car, looking out the window, a gray patch

Standing on the road, looking at the car, the lonely one

How similar, how sad, repeated wandering

In the blink of an eye, a moment of trance, a hopeless hope

We all live in our own imaginary world.

    NY 58. Isn't it obvious enough that one after another of extremely decisive black screens? In fact, apart from alienation, emptiness, and loss, there is still an air of youth. The funny and dark humor that Jiamusu deliberately designed is not the ridiculousness of life. It seems to be in a different place, but it is actually the same. In fact, the influence of Ozu on this film is not so obvious and direct.

    There are no events, only states. One scene, one scene, and shady scenes make the relationship between space and people, and people and people change suddenly (or should be said to be "discovered by the audience"), and the emotions that pervade a single space before each "sentence" are unified. . Jia Mu Xuying deliberately avoided all the dramatic scenes in life, all the "sudden turns and discoveries" that can attract attention, so that confusion fermented in trivialities, and the feeling of character changes gradually appeared in the seemingly random gaze. After being discovered, they are then spliced ​​piece by piece into an unchanging and bewildered state of existence of the characters.
