Can't catch up with the memories that float away

In the summer of 2007, one midnight, I was lying on his lap, watching "The Journey of the Red Balloon."
That summer, a woman who looked a lot like Song Fang became his girlfriend.
Although I have watched it three times, all I have seen are broken pictures. The only thing that impressed me was the light piano music and the red balloons.
At this moment, I couldn't show his clear face in my mind. I looked at the photo and just smiled at my embarrassment.
If you accidentally...

About Red Balloons

This is the first time I have seen a film made by the director, who is separated from the traditional Chinese classical background, and made in Western France. For a Chinese student studying in France, it truly shows the life of an international student. A western single mother with a son's family, an international student working as a nanny. The story is in the same style as the director has always been. The story seems bland, there is no sharp dialogue, no gorgeous scene arrangement, and the...

not salty

Not salty or bland.
Curious how the balloon was shot? with rope? Blow with the wind?
Indifferent to this film. The director seems to be trying his best to suppress Binoche's outbursts. But Binoche still looks too powerful, maybe that's what the director wants. On the contrary, Song seems to match Hou Hsiao-hsien's style better. I'm not sure if this is Binoche's best role, according to the New York Review. Maybe this long shot is a test for the actor's performance. Emotions need to run...

My Moment With All This (Essay of Hou Hsiao-Hsien's Movie "Red Balloon")

A moment of nostalgia, a moment of happiness, a moment of loneliness, a moment of me who has it all! (Neruda, "Contemplation, Entangling Shadows")

Like the poet's impromptu meditation, Hou Hsiao-hsien's films always belong to a poetic state of "situational moments". In order to drive away her husband and friend who had been occupying the room downstairs for a long time without paying the rent to make room for her daughter who was about to return, Susan, who taught drama at the...

Shade and sunshine are life

Le voyage du ballon rouge is a serene narrative film, so serene that it is almost impossible to figure out what it is trying to tell the audience. A boy chases a red balloon at the beginning, but it is the red balloon that follows him secretly all the way, appearing in his life from time to time. The pace of life of modern people is gradually accelerating. Work, family and self often make us hurry, but when we look up, we still see the blue sky that has not changed, and what we think in our...

The red balloons roamed the sky over Paris, passing through the streets lightly, as if Song, a student studying in France, accompanied the little boy Simon; the use of red elements and lighting was excellent; one of the details that impressed me more was Suzanne's way through fl, which can be compared Easily and effectively solve the rent arrears, this part cannot be done in our day, and even the understanding of the harm to the society of appeasing the old is not enough, this is what we need...

What's the use of having a background in a movie? Leisure and ethics should be discussed in the movie. I just watched it without knowing the context of the movie, and ended up wasting over an hour of...
