    The cold and dark apocalyptic fantasies show all kinds of absurdities in the world, and the footage is long enough to make Hou Hsiao-hsien fall...

    3.5. "Singing from the Second Floor" is a very talented and thoughtful work, reminiscent of "Sacred Car Dealer", although it is one level worse. It has nothing to do with whether the color of the scenery art is light or not, the film color is the film color. Formalism? The director regards the inside of the camera as a big stage, and various schedules take turns to appear. There can be no special effects shots, this is the dimensional wall. Two people playing the flute is very fun. Just having...

    An extreme creation of film art and aesthetic style, fragmented stories full of absurdity and surrealism, minimalist pictures, long still shots, and almost erased narratives, very abstract and expressive, The director attaches great importance to the information of the picture, and incorporates the absurdity and tragedy of human society, condensed to the extreme and extremely ironic. The new art form is on full...

    This is the knife that the Western director handed to Little Pink. Although the dull scenes of the slide show, the rigid performances, the nervous lines, and the excessive delay are not pleasing, and the fixed camera position makes the sex become a still picture, it is a master work. If the relationship between the hairsprings, constructs a picture of the old-fashioned European continent going into decline. The aging population, inefficient governance, conservative and rigid ideology, backward...

    The first part of Roy Anderson's life trilogy also created his own unique video style. Postmodern video style that rejects grand narratives, fixed long shots, stage-style sets, fragmented life scenes, icy modern urban landscapes, alienated interpersonal relationships, city streets with traffic jams all the time, expressionless citizens, labor The depressing and anxious living state brought about by alienation, few words and clumsy body language, ubiquitous symbols and metaphors, with realism as...

    Truly a unique expression, Anderson’s film is about a point of view that is both vast and abstract. Every scene in his film is highly condensed and abstracted, and these trivial points are contained by a complete and conceptual background. , shaping a world that is very unified from form to content, and this world is his point of view, very...

    Through eccentric characters and actions and absurd plots, the whole article conveys a lot of implication and profound realistic thinking, just list it briefly (the implication is that everyone has different understandings)

Songs from the Second Floor quotes

  • Kalle: What can I say? It's not easy being human.

  • The speechwriter: My approach was a rather philosophical one. About being human year after year. This is how I see it. Life is time, and time is a stretch of road. That makes life a journey, a trip. Don't you think so?

    Stefan: Yes. I guess you could look at it that way.

    The speechwriter: Yet in order to travel you need a map and a compass. Otherwise you wouldn't know where you were. Would you?

    Stefan: No.

    The speechwriter: And our map and compass are our traditions. Our heritage, our history. Aren't they?

    Stefan: Yeah, sure.

    The speechwriter: If we don't understand this... Before we know it, we're fumbling around in the dark. Where are we?
