Familiar strangers in "Earth Night"

Sometimes, an illusion can be like a mirage, transforming into a bridge, and sending the scene at this time to the other shore. In confusion, the wall of time and space is split and disappeared, and the separation between the new and the old is removed. The appearance of time coincides quietly, and everything has the resonance of the rhythm of life, like the longitude and latitude lines traced on the globe, crisscrossing each other, which can be close to someone's door, knocking the door, and drawing out the feeling of strangers. This is an emotion that needs to be understood. If you sing it for others to hear, it means "wherever you go, there will be people who look like you"; write it for people to think about, it is the thousand hamlets in the hearts of thousands of people; and if you take a picture for others to see, It should be Jim. The "Night of the Earth" by Jamusch was released, and the earth was flattened in the eyes of people overnight. The imaginary movie story-"Earth Night", because of the input of the maverick Jamush’s blood, a reborn new temperament has really appeared, and it can enter the heart and liver tract, which is actually no big deal. Because he is Jamusch. But there is always something I can’t figure out. A movie that is as simple as a tofu block has a mysterious energy like the deep sea to nourish the minds of the viewers. It is unexpected. It may seem bland but rich in taste. Protein tofu is the answer in itself. I like to compare the aftertaste of "Earth Night" to eating such a piece of tofu. But if the form and spirit of the movie are to be closer to things that can be referenced and seen, then the movie is more like a moving train. Five carriages with the emblems of Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Rome, and Helsinki hung. Taxi drivers from the five places were invited to report, each telling their own stories with a certain passenger or passengers. At the end of the report, the train conductor Jamusch led the drivers and disappeared into the night of the earth. And I, continue to imagine, what is my brother in Beijing doing? Of course, Jia Muxu has always been such a conductor. He walked in black, leaving a humorous walk, whether in "Mystery Train" or "Coffee and Cigarette". Back in the movie, as always, he made his short film platter's specialty. Those are five short films that exist independently, and there is almost no intersection in the plot. But there is a glue that makes the whole movie look scattered and concentrated, that is the basic element of the film, which makes people feel illusion. A protagonist (taxi driver), a prop (taxi), and a scene (road). They have been on the road, almost fixed the scene, circled in the taxi, but they feel subverted, and the moving paintings are confusing to the static objects. In the middle, the monotony of the picture suddenly changes to a variety of styles, the story is colorful, and there are thousands of portraits. And the time is unified, only because of the different latitudes and longitudes, the performance is loyal to the objective, the time lag span, starting at Los Angeles time-(7:07 in the evening), when it comes to Helsinki, it is facing the 5:07 when dawn. Regarding the conversion of this time, and the setting of the jet lag, Jia Muxu is quite amazing. His "meticulousness" seems to give art a third eye, full of air. Five stories, I love the Los Angeles station, Winona inside. Reid is so cute, it's nice to want to be young! Depp's aesthetics are completely exposed. Whether it is Winona or Vanessa, the charming and smart Xiaoke is his main course. As for Xinhuan, he does not comment. Having said that, in this movie, Winona's slightly immature performance is not eye-catching, but it is not forgotten. Smoking, chewing gum, spitting dirty words, rejecting invitations from big-name scouts, making small details, step by step, he merges a girl with a huge "character" and "ideal" into one. Thirty minutes later, the story was cut off, and the life inside continued in the brain of fantasy. In fact, I don’t know at which height Jamuxu wants to put the spirit of the story. The artistic conception is very memorable. Half the regret and half the luck. The taxi driver and the scout go their own way, not Jiang Bozhi’s help. , It is not the beauty of adults. The dream of a big star is so tempting, but you don’t have to be happy if you have it. The mechanic seems to be not glamorous, but who said that would not be a wise choice. In fact, the reason is unclear... When I arrived at the New York station, I saw the shadow of Jiamuxu. As an Iranian and Hungarian American, people say that he often lost his way when he went to New York to study, suffered all kinds of embarrassment, suffered from discrimination, and made a laugh, so he borrowed a new German old man who came to the United States. Tell the director's own mood story. Taxi is the most appropriate carrier. It belongs to you and does not belong to your inn, just like a wandering life parasitic on the night of the earth. In this story, the three people are quite brilliant. People of color ridiculed each other in accented English. Layers of clown life that hurts self-esteem, thinks about hometown, and continues to live are stacked on top of each other, huh! Who is not a clown in the eyes of others? One stop in Paris is philosophical and fascinating, because Beatrice Dyer has a sexy smile in "Paris Wild Rose", this woman is too visually impactful and destined to be the lover of the lens. In this journey, I don’t talk about anything, only sex. I also think it’s a smokescreen. If I don’t admit that I am superficial, I must dig deeper and be a thinker: you with your eyes open, what is curious is desire, what you see It's just my body; I, with everything in my heart, even if I close my eyes, I can see whether your soul is happy or sad. It was his old buddy Roberto who took Jamusch to Rome. Bernini, just a "Beautiful Life", he can be called a veritable drama, any role can be played by him. In this film, he is a lamb who carries sin, and then he turned out to be a shepherd dog appointed by God. In fact, if art wants to break through itself, it often offends religion and politics. I am curious about stories like this, but I don't like to molest religion without cause and effect. This story also has a radioactive theme. After Bernini's cruel confession, the "death comedy" caused by it will make people have all kinds of reveries, comfortable and dazzling. Of course, perhaps this is an alternative serious discussion. As Jamusch himself said, although he is not a practitioner of religion, he is interested in Buddhism, Christianity, and Hinduism. He just hates the use of oracles to advocate human language. He believes that faith is free. Therefore, he designed such a strange taxi journey. The last stop is Helsinki. This is my least favorite piece. It has no technical content and tells the story for the sake of telling the story. It reveals the eagerness of Jamusch to produce and rush to write the pen. Fortunately, the ending is beautiful, not for the whole film. Pull the hind legs. If it is said that a week is a cycle, and Jiamuxu wrote the script until the eighth day, it is understandable that he has to shut up and work. In any case, liking a certain director, out of the psychology of loving the house and Wu, must be flexible to his movies, good or bad, and can even turn a blind eye to dissatisfaction. What's more, such a book is published in eight days, and the shooting location is determined by the co-actors. It is casual and interesting, and it should be worshipped. There is a car, a driver, and a story. It is classified as a road movie, and "Earth Night" is worthy of the name. Low-cost, self-written and self-directed, good character depends on friends, and a way of thinking is transmitted. "Earth Night" is a suitable independent film. This is Jia Mu Xuchao's conspicuous road film. Although there are cars and roads and people, it is still different from other directors' works. Mr. Garfield, who knows life well, he said that he does not watch TV every time he finishes eating. Sometimes he will watch TV while eating. Some changes in life will increase the fun. This is the reason why it is different, perhaps the same type of film, all kinds of excellent. I personally like Jiamuxu very much. The work of this big guy is a free textbook for making movies, at least for my way. By copying his various skills, the rookie can calmly pretend prawns. The most important thing is that his movies are not made with money, but his movies can always smash fame, and then take the US knife. "A Director's Story" wants to express that many of the great film masters are using the whip of independent films to fight for their personalities, so as to win their own territory. After that, my wallet grew stronger and my word of mouth gained. I chose to take a different path and earn myself a different identity. It was an easy task without worrying about it. The mighty kind was a little bit moist. And Jiamuxu is here again, and he has always adhered to his original dream. Therefore, I think he is a master who can "point his finger" in the two areas of American independent film and literary film. PS, the original soundtrack made by TomWaits for the movie is great.

    Like a collection of short stories, drivers and passengers directly form a story about strangers. The natural airtight/flowing space formed by taxis separates the external environment and lingers on the streets of the city. Ideals like life and death like pain//There was also a Japanese drama about late-night taxi drivers

  • Melody 2021-12-22 08:01:19

    Winona with a mouthful of FUCK, role-changing laughter, black youth and clown old man with super low laughter and super infection, blind women who make love with every pore and driver with no eyes, giant funny giants who can talk about Bernini and The priest who has rolled his eyes for a long time, the most serious, daily and daily life Helsinki quartet. Taxi driver may be the profession most immersed in all kinds of sentient beings, in the most beautiful, noisy and sentimental night.
