Despair in fantasy

I didn't expect that I would be able to watch a 3.5 hour movie in one go when I had a cold.
The film shows a lot of stories at once, which seem to be connected and unrelated, like a bunch of threads that are constantly being cut and unorganized. In fact, there is no need to think about the connection of everything. Everyone in life, whether adults or children, whether men or women, has a lot of pressure. These pressures make us breathless, but no one wants to open up to others, no one Willing to forgive others, so conflict, fight, contradiction, despair. . . It escalated step by step until a toad rain appeared, and the emotions were vented to the extreme. It was expressed in such a strange way. It seemed that there was any possibility of things, which gave people an inexplicable hope. . . But when you think about it, this hope is actually a kind of despair. . . The film from 1999 still seems so profound.

    I don't like the PTA at this time, the restless camera movement, the full performance energy, the surging soundtrack, as if showing off their execution ability all the time, but the multi-line narrative is like the purpose of the majestic symphony composed by various musicians, strung together. The unreal, surreal level, larger than the individual, does establish its own set of specifications. For me, it's an admirable, inscrutable ambition.

    The opening talks about coincidence, but later it has nothing to do with coincidence. It is "The End of the Match" and "Two Smoking Guns" that make the coincidence so shocking. The actor's performance is very artificial, the emotions are not real, and the story is average. The frog rain was too hypocritical. The best of 13 movies.
