After watching this movie once, you will definitely not be able to see it, because the content is too broken. Interspersed and superimposed section after section, it has a unique psychedelic sense. This psychedelic feeling extends to the 3D in the second half. 2D passages represent reality, and 3D is the dream that reflects his reality. The film is also like a combination of reality and dream. Watching 2D to 3D for the first time, and 3D is a long shot of more than an hour. Although I don't think the significance of 3D is very big, but the scene and the plot also have a psychedelic feeling in a dream. But it is very difficult to schedule the shooting of a long shot of more than an hour. Although there are some small flaws, the microphone cannot receive sound, the sound of shooting, etc., but I believe this is the best. It's a bold dream for future movies. And there are still many metaphors for things like a roadside picnic. Water and fire contrast, and trains and watches represent time. The apple may symbolize the mentality of the character. We have all had dreams. The first half of the film is piecing together his past in reality. In the second half of the movie, I actually feel like he fulfilled his 12-year dream in reality in a dream. Eternal rotation in the house". If the word-of-mouth and even the ratings of this film are so low, it's their fault that they put themselves in the business.
In any case, I like both Bi Gan's films so far, and they are too much to my liking. It's too one-sided to say that his film is like a copy of his roadside picnic and nothing new. He dared to challenge the dream-themed movies. After all, the most awesome movies are made by masters about dreams and reality. He dares to shoot and has ideas, and it's really good to shoot like this.
I couldn't help but went to the theater to watch it, I wanted to stay in the archive and show it again (I'm really not Bi Bhui).
