    Everything is limited. We always take the good times for granted. In fact, we all live behind the protective shell of modern civilization. Women would rather be enslaved than aimless. Basically faithful to the original, and you know Bertolucci understands it from the beginning. However, the deleted part is not very good, and the understanding is not very thorough. What is "freedom"? Is it...

    One of Bertolucci's relatively unsuccessful works, the loss in the film is only because of illness, not the confusion of heart and...

    To put it bluntly, it's a road movie, but Bertolucci's shots will always have a magic power that attracts people's...

    Big stuffy film, old Bertolucci has given up on the narrative and plot, and exiled his emotions to the Sahara. There is finally a sermon at the end of the film, but it seems far-fetched. Lost films like this don’t necessarily have to be shot in the desert, and it’s too weak to express the subject purely through the set. The soundtrack and pictures are beautiful, but that belongs to Sakamoto Ryuichi and Sahara, and has nothing to do with Lao...

    Empty. Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Things happen only a certain number of time. And a small number, really....

    The difference between travelers and tourists. Africa is such a fascinating and terrifying place. But in the last half hour I couldn't understand...

    [Beijing Film Festival Screening] North Africa leaves a lonely shadow, and the soul breaks the Sahara. He lost his life in a harsh environment, but found the relationship between husband and wife. The scenery of the Sahara in North Africa is matched with the ethereal music of Ryuichi Sakamoto, and a sense of sadness arises spontaneously. The second half of the plot is more protracted and sluggish, and it is still too simple. There is a spectacular view of the desert camel team, and the...

    Not all subjects are suitable for epics, some are destined to become classics, some will only make people feel...

    Under the veil of material and cultural foundations, we wantonly squander our tiny life energies, entangled in all kinds of dilemmas that we set ourselves up for: this is probably the message Bertolucci is trying to convey. But unfortunately, Bertolucci did not make a strong interpretation in the language of the film, and the whole film was superficial and focused on curiosity. Bertolucci's trilogy of different cultures all have the embarrassment of such a high-end and unsupportable starting...

  • Kit Moresby: Champagne yes, philosophy no.

  • Port Moresby: You know, if Tunner didn't take such long siestas, I'd never be alone with you. I think he's in love with you.

    Kit Moresby: Port, don't be silly.

    Port Moresby: Sillier things have happened. The way he hangs around making inane conversation, the way he looks at you when he fingers his DDT can...

    Kit Moresby: What else?

    Port Moresby: Oh, the ferocity with which he counts your luggage.

    Kit Moresby: Oh, he counts yours too.

    Port Moresby: It's not the same.
