Why is it named "The Good Guy"?
Those who face poverty,
injustice,
loneliness, and
sin
still insist on being kind and living a life of duty.
silently.
Like most farmers in China for thousands of years.
Life - or survival is more appropriate.

My friend said,
two hundred yuan a day, there is no need to pay tax, that 's great
, I want to dig coal.

This is another passive protest against non-blind exploitation.

What did you think of when you saw that spooky building that flew into the sky like a rocket
?
Unstable foundations?
Top-heavy construction?
Or is it a stark contrast to the barren land?

The person walking in the air in the last shot
should be walking an invisible tightrope.
Every next step,
I am waiting for him to fall.

But in the black screen that came to an abrupt end, we
ushered in another thought.

    The shot is great! Jia Zhangke is more than a simple reflection of Chinese reality and the hardships at the bottom. This unexpected work has great ambitions in expressing the absurd, impermanent and paradoxical thinking of life, as well as the breakthrough and transcendence of his own film poetics (aesthetics). Based on Jia's more essential understanding of composition and depth of field, the director calmly used the most basic techniques in these film languages ​​to narrate a plain but not boring story.
