      look and feel

      Maybe people like us whose ideals have been shattered will finally end this ridiculous life like Shi Chuxi. It's a good movie, but I really can't stand it. I can't watch a living person being killed like this. The United States, which seems to be a golden country, made her girlfriend Ava willing to sell her body to raise money for the journey, but this journey accelerated their destruction, which made me think of "Camel Xiangzi" full of hope but eventually vanished. Maybe a...

      Small cost, deep!

      Such a simple and small cost can touch people's hearts, and it is so profound. This is a demonstration of film skills and directorial standards.
      Perhaps it is because the spirit is not sound enough, but it remains sensitive to the society we are used to. When others succumbed to finding the way to survive, Shi Chuxi pointed out the nature of the incompatibility sharply. Mental torture and physical torture are the same, even more cruel.
      There are incompatible people in society at any...

      "That's how it is, it goes round and round."

      "This is my last three dollars."

      "Thank you and welcome again."

      ...

      For only 25 cents, you can see dancing chicken, piano chicken, drum duck and fire bunny, any of which can make people laugh for a few minutes. What a cost-effective business, consumption, fun, love the new and dislike the old, fortunately there will always be new choices, and there will never be a shortage of "next."

      I went on vacation

      If marginal modernity is a weapon in the hands of Fitzcarardo in "Ark by Land", and he uses it to challenge modern rationality’s suppression of life fanaticism, then in Herzog’s another film "Schuxi In "Wandering", Bruno S played Shi Chuxi became a victim of modern rationality. His fringe modern identity cannot be a weapon for him to attack outside, but instead makes him fall into the sweet trap of modern rationality and eventually be destroyed. Fitzcarando and Schuxi...

      I want to love you my friends

      The madman who came out of the prison was drawn with the whip of the Nazis and knelt on his piano. Although the timbre was not good, there was a place to sing. This stubborn madman, but went from one hell to another, even though I tried so hard to be separated and helpless. I was hitting a wall everywhere, and I was the last one to die-dancing music chicken, 25-cent performance, repeated singing, all the animals shouted for joy, and sacrificed the last for the suicide of the desperate. The...

      Seeing human society through the eyes of the outsider bruno again. Food, clothing, shelter and transportation of the weak and the strong are all derived from biological nature. We all laugh at ourselves as animals and machines, but to resist them, we can only refuse life. The damned thing is that the American Dream was created by a smiling tiger, and facing the mental torture of this hypocrite is not as good as being beaten and kicked by the real villains in my hometown. || The part about the...

      Herzog expresses the importance of the artist's need for the spiritual world through the physical/mental abuse that Struxi received in the different social realities of Germany and the United States. Struxi suffered violence in Germany, but his just a few minutes of playing musical instruments on the street made him spiritually rich and proud. Although he lived a rich material life in the United States, his spiritual torment damaged his soul as an artist. At the end, when he saw the chick...

    After reading Werner's "Landing in a Boat", you may be amazed at the extraordinaryness of his work, or maybe it is just like this. People who don't understand Werner's work will find it difficult to accept its style. His other work "Stroszek" is also a rare masterpiece.
    On the surface, the film seems to be a criticism of social imagination. Whether it is the hypocritical bank collector wearing a mask or the homeowner who can auction the...
