      Paris, Texas--How Love Becomes Bondage to Each Other

      Passing through deep, dark, and closed loneliness; withdrawing from oneself in the pursuit of escape; and sealing up love. Through traversing, it is impossible not to transcend confusion. How can love become the bond between two people? It's just that I didn't know much at the time. Leave, leave each other, choose liberation, choose sinking. No one knows who will be better than whom. Now that you've come back, look...

      "Paris, Texas"--Lonely Existence

      My soul is so far away from me, yet my existence is so real.Paris, Texas actually expresses the same thing as the pianist at sea, that is, the absurdity of existence and the sense of loneliness that has no place and no solution. It seems that the essence of human beings is loneliness, and no one can understand why. The difference is that in 1900, he chose to stay. On the boat, to store his loneliness in the little...

      Movie Diary - Paris, Texas

      Travis, why are you like an ascetic? If you want to see the essence of life and love, you have to face loneliness, so Bodhidharma has to keep walking, and then face the wall without saying a word for many years. It's easy to understand that he doesn't speak. Normal people usually don't say a word when they're in a bad mood. They want to be quiet, and then they'll be fine. I just don't understand why he stayed silent and wandering for so long. It may be that he is too sad and lonely, but I am...

      .

      Travis and Jane feel like they're being sucked into the barely moving footage as they talk but go deeper and deeper into the placid conversation and light guitar between them. It's a black hole that holds their loneliness, longing, regrets, fear, longing, and boredom. It holds the softest part of human beings, so you can't resist and just forget everything and fall into it. Simple guitar slow shots calmly tell subtle expressions that scene tints the air with that dark red that often appears...

      that life, this life

      Suddenly I found that I haven't written a movie review for a long time. The pace of life is fast or slow, and there is always a reason to be lazy, but writing down what you think is very different from just thinking about it, especially such an excellent film makes people feel Movies I want to watch again.
          The last time I watched Wenders's movie was under the sky in Berlin. It was foggy and foggy. It can be said that I basically didn't understand it, but this time it was very...

      2008.1.4 I was able to listen to the original soundtrack of this movie several years ago, but I didn't watch the movie until the end of 2007. The disc got stuck halfway through, and it got stuck in 2008. It was the first time I watched a movie at the company, and it was the first time I watched it on the company's website. . Still crying at the end. On the second day of returning to Beijing, I did not go online or connect with people. exile. Deep dive.

      A very emotional movie, the style of every aspect, including tone, plot, performance, and soundtrack, is very individualistic, and it takes a long time to get rid of the emotions of the whole person. On the one hand, it is a pure European technique; on the other hand, it is also the scenery, scenery and human feelings of Texas. It is more like a dream where there is no way to go before and no way...

    Evaluation action

    The film is not only a story, but also a reflection on a story. In a sense, it is appropriate to regard the characters in the film and the lives shown by these characters as creations of songs about the backcountry and the west. The film constitutes a series of connected stories full of pain caused by the loss of loved ones and the resulting loneliness. The whole film is immersed in a sea of ​​horrifying feelings, and is matched with...
