good movie.
There is an interesting shot:
Funeral of an old friend. First, a few majestic black convoys drove in and passed by. The camera followed the convoy and stopped at the midpoint, only to find that the passing convoy had no relationship with the plot development of the funeral, and the camera stopped at the center of the picture. Focusing on "The Funeral of an Old Friend", the praying priest and the standing protagonist, as well as the newly excavated loess and graves. - Funerals only have these elements!
There are only two people and a grave.
Desolate, lonely, abandoned, forgotten feeling is extremely strong!
Very classic movie. The foreshadowing and development of feelings are in place, and the plot makes people feel more cold and depressing. The chaotic community, the social security chaos and the old age of the protagonist and the frailty of the community residents constitute a very strong contrast, supporting each other and enhancing the twilight, death, and sadness that the dark tones continue to exude. Good movie, indeed!
It's hard to live with one leg in the coffin! In terms of contradictions and conflicts, it seems to be the revenge of the protagonist, killing the Quartet; the more subtle accusation should be the suffocation and despair of the chaotic community; but in terms of personal experience, old, lonely and powerless are more important. The main body that runs through it all the time, people reach their twilight years! ——As the message expressed by the above-mentioned shot, loneliness, being forgotten by (society), powerless and helpless...
In the process of watching, I can't help but think of the old life of my parents and parents-in-law, and I feel sad.
What is happiness, happiness in old age? At least, that's a question the film gave me.
At the same time, another big theme of the film is the decline of urban communities. Will such a desperate conflict really take place when urbanization has reached a stage of maturity and even decline? I just instinctively refuse to believe its prophecy in the urbanization and development of socialist China.
