    I thought it was an ordinary literary film, but I didn't expect it to be such a stream-of-consciousness film... The pictures and camera movements are really good, but a lot of parallel editing with vague meanings and the words and deeds of characters who lack cause and effect make the overall narrative obscure and incomprehensible. Friendly, as if rejecting people thousands of miles away. And the plot is obviously a crime story, but unexpectedly adds sci-fi settings... It's hard to call it a...

    Advantages: The concept is unique, the director is a small expert who handles everything by himself, and some of the objects are beautiful. Disadvantages: The relationship between men and women and the portrayal of characters are extremely boring. The overall photography style is the type I hate the most. Is the director learning the Malik style in the past two years? While acting as a guinea mouse committing obsessive-compulsive disorder, creating a new height for the Lake...

    The symbolism of stream of consciousness is a bit deep, too depressing, too...

    It is somewhat of an experimental nature, basically telling a story under the stream of consciousness, and exploring the possibility of film language in the counterpoint between the story and the picture and the lens. It's a movie that I've only watched once and didn't dare to jump to conclusions. 7...

    Although the recommended beautiful colors, accented editing, and literary soundtrack, such a scene with such a theme is a horror movie for me, who is super afraid of soft bugs, and can't be saved by twice the speed. The pulsation, the probe that drilled out of the skin probed the brain, including the water soaking in front, the nightmare of a few days has come to an end, the hands are soft and the feet are...

    Reading Notes for Walden. A counterattacked human improvement experiment. A recording engineer on a pig farm who examines the sympathy of the human soul, a pharmacist who uses tapeworms to hypnotize him, and picking stones from a swimming pool in the sun's head, are poetic over-the-top birds. However, the whole experimental process is similar to "PRIMER", and the logical cycle is still...

    The Huangpu River dead pig incident can be photographed so poetic, so fresh and refined, so unfathomable master style,...

    An extremely stream-of-consciousness story, even with some soft sci-fi color, I can roughly guess what the director wants to show, but I still can't grasp the inner core of the film, which is more difficult than watching Terrence Malick's film. The film reminds me of "Perfect Sense" the year before, the same stream of consciousness, but better than the latter, the photography and soundtrack save some...

    It seems difficult to understand and very profound, but if you think about it, it has no connotation... To put it bluntly, it is a...

    I don’t know my head hurts, I don’t know I’m neurotic, I don’t know if the film is 900 minutes long, I don’t know why I haven’t finished it, I don’t know I’m too low, I don’t know I feel negative, I don’t know what the blasphemy movie is saying....
