More spiritual shock, less visual shock

Full black and white picture, almost no special effects, heavy subject.
In this flashy era, there are fewer and fewer people who can insist on watching such movies. Friends watched less than 10 minutes: too boring, old movie.
But I want to say, this is the greatest movie I've ever seen.
I don't want to describe the plot because it sounds like everything is bland. I am afraid that my poor language will express some profound things and some emotions in my heart, but it will be superficial.
I just haven't felt the beauty of human nature for too long.
In such a cultural atmosphere full of various desires and covetous sensual feasts, my mind is like cracked earth: the sky looks beautiful, but unfortunately there is no rain.
There seem to be countless questions in our lives: will Xiao Zhang run behind the boss and wear my shoes? Is that SELINA really just an ordinary friend on the boyfriend's phone text message? Whose name is written on the property book? ...
Have you ever thought about such a question: How do I want to live my life?
I've always thought the question "Why do people live" is stupid. There is no such noble answer. Just like countless flowers, plants, birds, beasts, and beasts, because they have already been born in the world, they must live. Does anyone commit suicide because they can't think of a noble answer?
But how to live? There is an old-fashioned saying: if you are rich, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone. Yes, the question that this movie makes me think about is one: how do I live. I can live a great life, and I help people of this kind; I can also live a little bit of myself: paint what I like, and go where I want to go. Money must be earned. As for the house, do I have to buy it? As for men, do they have to?
Don't say it, it feels more and more superficial. Returning to the topic of movies, I still think that the beauty of vision is not eternal, because technology will continue to improve. One day, our descendants may watch today's so-called blockbusters and say: What are you doing so ugly. But the inner beauty is eternal, because the moving of human beings is eternal.

    The plot, technology, shots, editing, acting and soundtrack in the film are very good. I think the male protagonist’s personality is also good, from indifferent to flesh and blood
