    The reverse of heroism and traditional sports films, the arc formation looks like fateful manipulation at first glance, but it is actually a personal will-orientation with subjective initiative, the connection between individuals of life transcends "suffering", and the lost love is also in two "Midnight Dreams". come...

    3.5; The photography is very beautiful. Although the empty shot is suspected of being abusive and repetitive, it is also in line with the long extension of the characters' emotions. In the natural light, you can feel the breath and rhythm of the galloping horse. The arc of the character's "growth" obviously has traces of routines, but it can be considered sincere; in fact, the horse named "Apollo" is the one that touches my heart the most. It seems to be able to burn again, but what reality has...

    Freedom should not be imprisoned, for horses and their inborn nature are to run. Faith is not allowed to be ridiculed, for it is the duty of the knight to conquer. Admit failure but not loss, accept brokenness but not ambiguity. Adhering to oneself is certainly courageous, but retreating bravely is not without grace. At the moment of saying goodbye, you let go of the reins of fate, but you have harvested a brand new journey. Those who chase their dreams are doomed to lose once they are...

    Zhao Ting's skills are more mature than her debut. Generally speaking, it still feels like an American independent film, and there are no big surprises. However, the ending is that the protagonist gave up. If this plot was in the film school, it would be questioned in various ways, but it was true....

    Like "Nowhere", it uses amateur actors, blurs the boundaries between documentaries and feature films, looks like Malick in photography, especially in empty shots, and focuses on marginal/small groups. For this one, the emotion is really rough and delicate. I like two paragraphs the most: one is the design of the scene when the horse is "euthanized". In the shadow against the dark sky, the horse falls and a part of Brady's heart also dies; the other is the design of the last paragraph, where Dad...

    Three and a half. Looking directly at the red flames and yellow sand of real life, mixed with the tenderness of nature. The film has been galloping in this conflict of sight and hearing. Everyone is not good at words, either because of illness or because of emotional barriers. But once riding on the breeze and the steed, they approached the true meaning of life, as if riding were their sacred ritual against all misery. The hand that cannot be released is his stubbornness and persistence in...
