    The face is born from the heart, but if you change your face, will you not be constrained by your identity, status and being yourself, will your heart also change? To know yourself is to know the self under the...

    From "Sand Girl" to "The Face of Others", Edict Kawara Hiroshi has well expressed the externality of Abe's public housing, especially filling in the weak plot outside the psychological descriptions that are abundantly presented in the form of notes in "The Face of Others" pioneer image. It is a pity that some of the more hidden textual elements of the Abe public housing cannot be reproduced. Perhaps this is the reason why Hiroshi Kawahara gave up "Box...

    The asymptotic of trend and fashion, the convergence of aesthetics and fashion, from subway to scenic spots, from restaurants to bookstores, every time I look at a bm on the left, a jk on the right, a aj in the front, a Gshock in the back, and wear similar clothes. , the same makeup, the same pose, the same laugh, imagine them, you posted the same circle of friends and the same people hypocritically interacting with me, I brought a filter in my heart to watch: wearing a human skin mask clown in...

    In love, we all try to unmask each other, so I guess we should try to put on a...

    This movie must have been avant-garde at that time, with a big proposition of human nature mask and stream of consciousness. The soundtrack is a little...

    I have been admiring the name for a long time, but I finally saw it; a clinic with strong experimental features, a clinic full of symbols and lines, deliberately repeated shots, parallel reflections of two lines, visual design of composition, changes in light, minimalist lines, coupled with strange Takemitsu Toru ; The questioning of existence, the denial of oneself, the alienation and materialization of human beings, the lack of identity, the collapse of beliefs; the philosophical and horror...

    It's really extraordinary, and it's appropriate to change it into a stage play,...

    In addition to the impeccable video, Abe's lines are also like works of art. Whenever I hear such a dialogue, I can't help but regret that every foreign language I don't understand is a missed opportunity. Dr. Okuyama x's CP is so charming, the confrontation of thoughts and the fiddling of body and...

    "How much I think my neck is an open space, and my face has become an unavoidable window to the soul, which in turn corrodes the soul." Everyone's face is a mask. The film explores the depth of human nature under the mask. Quite philosophical. Fifty years of this film is really avant-garde in its depth, style and approach. It still feels novel and peculiar, and it is...

    Psychiatrist: Recognize these? You know what they are? You don't, do you?

  • Psychiatrist: Sadly, this is not only a finger. It's an inferiority complex in the shape of a finger. It's not that I specialize in treating fingers. I'm a psychiatrist, in fact. Inferiority complexes dig holes in the psyche, and I fill them in.
