Elephant, from a Western proverb. It's that when the elephant walks into the bedroom, people either think the elephant is fake, or the bedroom is fake. Often used to describe what people thought was impossible but happened.
In such an extreme day, these children are living and studying in school as usual. Several named characters do not talk, but are intertwined in the same space or time. In the first half of the film, our audience is like a stalker, watching them secretly...

"CRASH" feels a bit reluctant under its reputation, especially after watching a film like "ELEPHANT" that is calm and emotionless. The director makes the audience feel like they are just a pair of eyes in the time line, calmly and almost indifferently watching the characters in the event walk around or stop in the seemingly messy time relationship, and the rhythm does not change until the massacre begins. And it is this kind of emotionally flat, time-chaotic handling that gives viewers a...

Before watching the film, I didn't know the situation of this film, including the praise or plot or others, but I just saw the recommendation to download
1. John and his old bean changed cars to drive, why? (The second time I saw it, I noticed that they still talked about guns and war.)
2 After taking the photo, Elisa said that she would make a copy for the couple and passers-by, please don't even have contact information. (The second time I saw it, the couple man asked Elisa if...

91/100, using trivial daily events and passers-by perspectives to cut the viewer's psychological defense line, and use a lot of following perspectives to strengthen the sense of substitution (like video games). At the same time, the disturbance of emotions and drama is removed, and the presentation is only done calmly, and then gives the audience a pure and violent impact, even "Flower and Alice" has become terrifying. It feels like there is no design, but in fact, there is design everywhere,...

It was still in high school at the time. Still shopping for discs in the underground disc store. A short film. It's all violent, and I didn't actually see the picture on the cover. From the beginning to the end, two boys calmly used robbing to kill people on campus....

I looked at the stills when I was in school, and contemptuously thought it was just a representative of the small freshness that emerged at that time. I saw it for the first time in 2018. Although the style of painting is indeed fresh and even clear, it is by no means so-called small freshness. The powerful aesthetic power of power, this kind of beauty does not seek expression because of confidence, it is really a very high talent, it is not surprising that he won two Cannes top prizes that...

"I haven't kissed anyone yet, how about you?" Time should freeze at this moment, right, stop for the beauty of kissing; or stop when the blue-gray sky is stormy; or see a photographer at the door of the library when smiling. How beautiful the world is, everyone who passes by is so lonely and has its own story, but we live so indifferently. It was no accident that he beat "Dogtown" to win the Palme d'Or and best...

(7/10) Although it is only 80 minutes, it feels extremely long and depressing. It is worth mentioning that most of the main characters in the play have names with the same or similar pronunciation as the actors. The slaughter of people with little resistance in the school is an eternal pain that cannot be solved. Not long ago, there was a school shooting in China. Earlier, there were people who went to the kindergarten and slaughtered children. Is the school really a society? Fragile...
[We've been following Benny down the hallway and watch as he comes upon Eric berating and standing over Mr. Luce]
Eric: Yeah, you did, and I should shoot you right now for it, you know I should. But I think I just might let you live, maybe, because I want you to know this... and the next kids that come up to you with their problems... that they're being picked on, you should listen to them... no matter what twisted shit they say.
Eric: [Turns and shoots Benny through the heart] Fuck! Anyway, Mr. Luce, whatever. You know there's other like us out there, too. And they will kill you if you fuck with them like you did me and Gerry. Get out of here, before I change my mind. Go!
Eric: [Mr. Luce gets up and runs for his life. Eric changes his mind and shoots him down] Bitch!
Alex: [to Eric] The kids will be coming in all directions and we'll be able to pick them off one by one.
Alex: So how did you do?
