There are many points that are instructive

I watched more than Rohmer's "Four Seasons Story" series, and the fusion of types is really good.

There are advantages and disadvantages for me.

Let me talk about the shortcomings first: Obviously, I didn’t write the script. In other words, the script is too hasty. The whole movie is a bit unstable. It shuttles between different genres, first film noir, related to prison escape, and then Robert Bay. Nini appeared on the stage, turned into an adventure comedy, and finally became a beautiful love story. Robert Bernini must have his wife. This passage is really accepting incompetence. I really can’t understand why it became a love story. The director has too many private goods. The basis of type fusion must be a full understanding of each type. There are a lot of plot omissions in the film, and this drastic omission gives me a feeling of "director’s attitude is too casual", not rigorous enough, not logical enough, but after thinking about it carefully, I can’t find him especially illogical. In places where the film needs to be concise, but Jiamuxu’s conciseness is not good. In the provinces of the province, the details of the performance must be expressed and must have its own persistence.

Advantages: The characters are quite individual, and the conflict between the two cool protagonists runs through it. Robert Bernini’s "cute and innocent" style is the best reconciliation of the story. It has resolved the conflict between the two many times, but he The misuse of the English language is really embarrassing. The director thinks it is a kind of joke. I think it is really embarrassing to use it repeatedly. A kind of boring and undisciplined mood runs through the whole movie. This is very good, although I don’t I like this emotion, but the style of the whole movie is uniform and the emotions conveyed are the same. This is not bad. I think the director has this feeling by placing the characters in the natural environment and constantly roaming. It's a road movie, but it's a variant of a traditional road movie.

Inspiration for me:

1: The script should be written carefully, don't be too casual, be rigorous, rigorous, and the audience can see it at a glance.

2: The character must have a unique personality, and the relationship between the character and the character is very important.

3: The film style should be unified, mood, atmosphere, thought, film language, there is always one thing to do, and other things must be above the standard.

4: It is good to focus on thinking, but all thoughts must be attached to a good-looking story.

5: If you want to shuttle between the genres as you want, you must understand the basic characteristics of each genre clearly.

6: Don't mix up too many private goods, don't be too egoistic, don't be narcissistic, everything serves the story itself, not for my ideas.

7: The language of the movie is always the first. Don't let the characters in the movie tell other people's stories.

8: Concise, concise, and concise.

    life is a limbo dance, but it's a question of where you get down not how low you can get the absurd and the poetic and the strange coexist with the fairy tale Jarmusch's films are also a group of joyous boredom looking for meaning in a desolate life.

    The rough black and white tone is very suitable for Jarmusu, because it can often create a unique sense of alienation without losing the delicate picture, and the meaning of "listening to poetry with rough ears" also lies in the metaphysical content of music and pictures: Tends to be silent and the contingency of life; Jack and Zach cannot communicate, but rely on Italians who don't know much English, not the kind of Victorinox's silence and Heidegger's language that exists, and more inclined to Taoist tenets
