    The film is really nice: 1. There are many details: the hiccups before each turning point, the dialogue and humor between the neighbors; 2. A panning shot directly switches between the subjective and objective shots; 3. The story itself is good, if you love this thing, you can Things ruin your original life, what do you do? 4. The ending is open, point the camera at yourself, and tell a story of the road to destruction; 5. Be obsessed with anything and give something you...

    4.5. The family/marriage part is melodrama and the handling of this part is a bit casual and corny. The really exciting place is in the "fans" of the (English) title. I think the movie also does a good job of explaining the power of movies and why some people are afraid of movies, or (the word that runs throughout) "truth". In the end, I turned the camera over to face myself, which is similar to the camera in "Yiyi" that only shoots the back of the head. They are all looking for overlooked...

    2021.11.19 I used to think that those "deletion" requests were like jokes, but now I really understand the suffocating feeling. The smiling beckoning of the neighbor's mother upstairs was what moved me the most in the past, and I still do.

    5.0. 11th BJIFF Archives Hall 1. 1. The unbearable lightness of life and the unbearable weight of life, Chier has done so well, the "lightness" comes from the family's incomprehension and alienation, and the "heavy" comes from the fact that art not only cannot save but has to pay a heavier social price. 2. It seems to see a torn self, the pain and helplessness experienced on the way of life growth. 3. Zanussi, as the godfather of Polish film, gave lectures to the camera department of the...

    I really can't stand it, how can this kind of film be so boring, I really can't see the enthusiasm of Ji Lao in it. Did he buy the camera because he loves shooting/watching movies? No! So discussing it again is different from other sentient beings. I love that he said that filmmaking has found a truly meaningful life, however, after watching I feel apprehensive about my current...

    The dilemma of life, or the most powerful pulling force that exists in the world, can tear a person to shreds. Because one of the parties here is a movie, it is even more empathetic. "Literary and artistic single dog" is a very superficial expression, but it fits the apparent predicament here. Fortunately, there is still a camera to talk to in the end, but it is also more sad. I slept soundly after watching a movie called "Film Fan" in the archive, but I thought it was a very movie fanatic...

    Of course, the censorship plot in "The Fan" can be taken literally, but Keith's thinking goes beyond politics. How can the real images captured by the camera reflect reality? This is the moral thinking of Keith when he was reflecting on his documentary creation. After intuitively recognizing the recording function of the camera, the "hobbyist" representing Kee went through the transition from private recording - cutting into public affairs from a private point of view - to public recording, and...
