      the limit of patience

      The title of the film is "The Limits of Control", and it is really a test of your endurance.

      There are two types of films: storytelling and imagery. Unfortunately, I'm someone who's used to classifying movies as feature films, so the more I watch, the more confused I get. It turns out that this is an image-type film, stream of consciousness. You can't understand this kind of film without reading a lot of introductions and film reviews. The director of this film has eliminated the...

      The Limits of Control (2009)

      It seems "stuffy" but it is actually very good to see

      There is no story, but there is no lack of suspense. You know that the male protagonist must have a mission, and if there is no accident, he will kill, although you do not know the specifics; there is no plot, but it is not boring, because there is indeed something that leads you to keep watching. Maybe everything is an illusion or a dream, you see: Except for the person who the male protagonist...

      "The Limits of Control" Review

      I thought about why I was suddenly obsessed with Jarmusch.
      Because he always stands at a height that is enough to despise the whole world, and takes pictures of what he likes; the whole world says that it is obscure, profound and even difficult, and he smiles, ignorant crowd.
      I love that he ignores the mostly idiotic audience and treats his films with willfulness.
      In front of his films, I felt like I was still in kindergarten.
      "The Limits of Control" was filmed by Du Kefeng,...

    Movie quotes

    • American: Is this your twisted idea of revenge for something?

      Lone Man: No. Revenge is useless.

    • Mexican: The old men in my village used to say, "Everything changes by the colour of the glass you see it through." Nothing is true. Everything is imagined. Do you know these reflections? For me sometimes the reflection is far more present than the thing being reflected.

      American: What is your fucking agenda here?

      [pause]

      American: You people don't understand a fucking thing about how the world really works.

      Lone Man: I understand. But I understand subjectively.

      American: That's fucking nonsense. Your sick minds have been polluted with crap. Your music, movies, science. Fucking bohemians on hallucinogenic drugs. All that shit has poisoned you. And it has nothing to do with the real world. And I suppose you believe that by eliminating me, you will eliminate control over some fucking artificial reality.

      Lone Man: Reality is arbitrary.

      American: Fuck you.
