    The second Wenders, compared with the first "Texas", is less empty and more light and self-deprecating. The camera has always recorded a reporter who is doubtful about his own world with a calm attitude. On the way of looking for "home", the little girl gradually became "certain" about herself. It seems that it has nothing to do with redemption, and it seems that they have obtained something from each other. There is also no shortage of American culture's pervasive depictions of Europe. The...

    1. The starting point of Wenders-style road films is also his favorite work. The motifs of self-lost and dazed, alienated relationship between people and cities, and complex feelings about American culture will never go back. . 2. Remembrance of images: Polaroids, TV sets, and telescopes capture and freeze reality - the separation of photos and reality: "Photos will never catch up with reality", even if the old house of Alice's grandmother in the photo is found, it will not be able to stop the...

    1. The lens is in Can'sIn the soundtrack, a touch of sadness and loneliness permeates the film, which adds too much color to the film; 2. The smile of the male protagonist is too warm and gentle, and I hope those who have this kind of smile are not bad...

    【S】City ghost. Wenders offers another possibility for film, a kind of purest road film, which no longer deliberately emphasizes journeys and events, but is purely a process of movement. The lens seems to be just connecting trivial daily life (it looks a bit like vlog?), but underneath it is actually quite a clear and neat structure. Although it is a different emotion from "Paris, Texas", it presents the same texture, but this one is much lighter and more flexible than the latter. So...

    Rewatch. The ending is the highest, and the incredible opportunity is like a good photo, which can be met but not sought. Lost, reunion and separation, the sense of isolation from self-talk turns into a temperature that slowly penetrates into the chest along the way under the silent camera. Wenders' marks can be seen one by one - roads, screens, children, trains, the meeting of strangers, the fascination of...

    There are a lot of echoes with Paris, Texas, including the father-son relationship slowly formed on the road, the complete abandonment of adult authority, and the angst of angst. Wenders shows the temperament of the new wave in this film, such as following the boy riding a bike on the road, as well as the rough and charming private images. He often forgets what he is looking for when he travels, but it is the way to understand the world and himself. like music. "When the boy came to the beach,...

    Too beautiful! The pure relationship theme is very moving. The abandonment of the world and a trace of tenderness that cannot be parted. It’s hard not to think of Ozu (Paris, Texas) in Wenders’ children’s playfulness, and in this one there’s not just the alienation of family and blood, but the embarrassment of a foreign country. The funniest part was telling Alice a road story and she fell asleep (great self-deprecating!). Recurrence of photos (recording and...

    The advantage of not far from mk2 beaubourg is that I occasionally go to watch a movie or two after dinner, and when I walk home at midnight, I can hear my own footsteps. Sleep until you wake up naturally and study for yourself. Good night,...

Alice in the Cities quotes

  • Philip 'Phil' Winter: Taking pictures is a way of proving things. Waiting for the image to develop, I was often filled with a strange unease. I could hardly wait to compare the picture with reality. But comparing them wouldn't reassure me either. As the still images were always overtaken by reality...
