"Stranger Than Paradise" is the same as director James R. Jarmusch's other movies—boring and smelling of alcohol. He designed enough tortuous and bizarre wandering journeys for the characters, and then tried his best to attach his signature "feeling of powerlessness" to the film, so that people on and off the screen can only "track" to nothingness. The film contains all the elements of a road film: the journey, the scenery, the gathering and separation of young people, the pursuit and loss. But there are not many good scenery that can be seen, only some gas stations, chimneys, dilapidated factories and crude oil pipelines accompanied by steam, this glimpse of the American industry in the 1980s. The large black screen part of the film gives the film a breathing rhythm, and also gives the audience room to think, so that the audience can digest the scene they just saw—even if they don’t have to think intellectually. The black screen part also means that the audience is deprived of a moment, and this is also closely related to the theme of the film, that is, something has been taken away. These sporadic references to death make the film extremely fascinating

Each frame of the picture and each lens are carefully designed to be drip-proof, and the minimalist style can be compared to Yoshida Yoshige. The inheritance of Ozu's aesthetic empty mirror. There are long scenes one after another. Editing doesn't exist, or it is editing when the curtain ends. None of the close-ups, the characters' expressions are almost lacking, and they refuse to bring in the audience's feelings. The movement of space and the dissociation of identity, strangers who lack a sense of identity, try to get together, but the irony ends in the end. Awesome!

Much funnier than the debut novel. It started in New York and the fate rolled around like a card game. I can't remember the joke of tying shoelaces. Then both of them laughed. The dialogue between the characters is also very cute. A round of idleness Does Florida have that brand of cigarettes?
