    Cai Mingliang's films need to be in some specific moods to evoke a very delicate inner resonance. This time, however, I apparently went for a fast-food meal with the heart of fast food. Or there is no lamentation about the longitude jet lag these days.

    Missing the mother of her deceased husband, wanting to be well-off in sync with the time in Paris, Xiangqi who lives alone in a foreign land, Cai Mingliang used three groups of characters to write the human destiny of the same destination, that is, the inescapable lonely state of mind, and as the most important image in the film "" "Clock" adds an eternal attribute to this loneliness. At the end, the Ferris wheel rotates counterclockwise, his father Miao Tian appears, and the ending subtitles appear dedicated to Cai Mingliang and Li Kangsheng's father. This scene can be called the most magical and heart-warming sustenance And Antoine, who appeared to pay tribute to "The Four Hundred Blows", Xiaokang holding a clock into the cinema and Antoine drinking milk echoing the images are all classic moments.
