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.

    After repeated confirmation, I have already seen it several times, showing its slow heat and fragmentation. However, the melancholy and uncontrollable feeling of powerlessness conveyed by the film really fascinated me, "There are stories of coincidence and chance, and intersections and strange things told, and which is which, and who only knows?" Pouring frog rain.

    Quiz Kid Donnie Smith: That's right. That's the first time you've been right. I confuse the two and I don't care.

  • Jim Kurring: Sometimes people need a little help. Sometimes people need to be forgiven. And sometimes they need to go to jail.
