Today is the opening ceremony of the Hou Hsiao-hsien Forum, so I was fortunate to see Hou Dao himself. Just like the Taiwanese I remember, they are gentle, polite, and polite.

If you find someone who is good at making commercial films, you will definitely be able to make a thick epic. When Hou Hsiao-hsien did not shoot himself for the first time, he still insisted on the same style, weakening the drama and weakening the performance.

Weak drama means strengthening the sense of reality and increasing the sense of identity. It's really naughty.
