    "Love Disorder" is the other side of phone porn in "Silver, Sex, Men and Women". In this bizarre postmodern American life, the old-fashioned telephone/mobile phone of the early 21st century constitutes a torn space of reality, similar to Badiou's concept of eroticism = self-control. PTA places emotion on the precipice of electronic signals. However, the dimensionality reduction attack on romantic love sketches is only an appearance. The deep truth is this: "Love Dissonance" has a post-Fordist...

    If you still have Chen Guo's beauty tricks against the proletariat in "Hong Kong Hollywood" in your memory bank, then PTA's "Personal Love Disorder" filmed for American white-collar workers at the same time will probably also make us today have a relationship. Or smile at each other. Clearly, credit cards, discount coupons, advertising sales, and futures contracts combine to create the tedious labyrinthine life of the white-collar, middle-class. The eccentric male protagonist is actually a...

    The subject matter is unpleasant, and the overly urbanized life always lacks some feelings, which makes me uneasy, but it is really master-level scheduling, which is fascinating. If the image and music lose the tacit understanding, everything will cease to exist. The camera began to put Barry on the edge, and his heart was not yet awakened. As the plot progressed, the camera kept "monitoring" our male protagonist, getting closer and closer, and the sensory stimulation continued to explode....

    [A+] Empty California streets, quiet mornings, a sudden rollover incident, a piano that was inexplicably abandoned, and the grotesque style that belongs to PTA was established in this way. I was still confused and overwhelmed at first, until the moment when the male protagonist broke the three-sided glass, I was completely fascinated. What followed was a crazy second meeting. Under the soundtrack of "Breakthrough", restlessness and dizziness were laid, and on the verge of collapse, they...

    The PTA filmed Los Angeles so bleak, yet in this bleakness, it radiates a refreshing warmth, such a self-expression that no one else...

    In fact, only the first half of the film really has a sense of "disorder". The completely disordered and mutually exclusive motion shots are like Scorsese in the early days. The editing deliberately lengthened some shots and redundant writing. Unable to generate anticipation of the plot, it seems that a new fork can be entered at any time, and the perception is very floating, as confused and crazy as Adam Sandler's performance. But in the second half (after the trip to Hawaii) the love process...

    The techniques are too handsome, but all the elements are in a balance point that cannot be faulted under the deployment of style. Impulsive and out of control have become the driving force of romance in the story. The strangeness is gradually diluted in the charming...

    The harmless office worker's straight-male romance turned out to be so touching. Once a person who is mostly content with boredom and peace of mind has a clear goal of love, any bullying will become an accelerant for the explosion of masculinity - so Why bully doge? It's a simple love story with a little love and a little quirky, with a sweet and happy ending. //PS. From Guo Caijie's reading vlog to find...

    4.5. The lonely blue bursts with the passionate red, the hustle and bustle of the modern society, the irritable modern people's emotions, and the constantly runaway emotional monsters. If lack of love is the norm in this world, love can only turn into sex, and communication turns into boring dialogue, then PTA can only use love to save the decadence of life. The world is desolate, only love lives...

    I have a love in my life, it makes me stronger than anything you can...
