      Please forget my fate.

      ——Henry Purcell


      1. Yasujiro Ozu

      To the core of "the elegance of the hedgehog", there is a long road, which is "Ozu". In this film, "Ozu" is not only the protagonist of the movie Ozu Gelang, but also the famous Japanese film director Yasujiro Ozu.

      Watching Yasujiro Ozu's film "Sisters of Zongfang" with Gerang was the warmest and sweetest episode in Honey's life. In Honey's words in the novel, "this is beyond time in...

      False grace breeds decay

      The three most important characters in the whole film, the first is Baroma, she is like a torturer of life, and she also suffers from the absurdity of the world. She looks on the world with a cold eye. retouch. But she sees that these so-called appearances are nothing but a veneer, just like a detail in the film, tall and majestic, the cigarette butts under the homes of people in suits and leather shoes. This child, who has not yet been seen through the world's fairy tales, said, "I knew a...

      I have a variety of styles, and I have no competition with the world

      Dear May:
      What a wonderful day. Although I often hate that my words are shallow and not as deep as people's expectations, there is a faint force that leads me to reminisce in the record.

      Let's go together today to listen to the "Motorcycle Diary" (Che Guevara) reading club, and go to the "Elegance of the Hedgehog" viewing party. The starting point is a tacit expectation and a surprise encounter.

      We're not particularly close friends, you know, I mean, we're not...

      can i come to your place

      The first line that touched me, after the admirable little girl's hands-on ability, after the appearance of the elegant Mr. Ozu, roughly meant:

      Can I come to you? My room is not always very quiet. This is not a

      It is quite satisfactory, the French and the Chinese are similar, but the Chinese will definitely not get high marks for this genre. I personally think that although the theme of this film is relatively empty, at least the French style is good, the young heroine understands Go well, and the last sentence is about death The words are both beautiful and artistic. I watched the 95min...
