      Works that subvert the recognition, but not the content

      When I saw this poster before, I always felt that the male protagonist was Shang Ge Yundun in his youth.

       

        Then I learned that it was shot with Panasonic GH2.

        Since I was mainly watching the screen, I jumped and watched it intermittently, and I didn't care too much about the plot.

        Shock. Subvert the understanding.

        A body of more than 4,000 can actually get this kind of picture. Before the advent of RED ONE, hundreds of thousands of...

      insanity

      Haha, the plot is confused? It's just Gu, the
      screenwriter has rendered this Gu technique a little bit. This Gu thief can absorb souls, and the human's three souls and seven souls have been partly followed by Gu. At the beginning of the film, I saw that Yilan raises Gu, enters the human body, and the person who releases Gu controls the middle Gu person. After the money is stolen, another person who accepts Gu appears to take out the Gu. He does not destroy the Gu, but he fosters the Gu in...

      The so-called applause is not popular?

      "The Colors of Upstream" is a sci-fi drama that is very obscure to understand. Every shot of the film is like a mysterious code. You may not know what the director wants to express, but you still can't help but look down. Every node that appears in the movie seems to symbolize something-criminals, soil, worms, discolored orchids, sounds collected and recorded for hypnosis controllers, pigs, people-or the director used science fiction to commit a crime The technique tells about the spiritual...

      The inner rhythm of everything


        This is a very surprising and throbbing movie after watching it. Here I might as well give some clues after watching the movie for everyone to discuss and interpret.
        
        At the beginning, what attracted me was the concept of the film that I thought was in line with my original values-and it was also the key to my understanding of the film: from man to nature, the inner rhythm of everything.
        This is a movie about the stream of consciousness. People and people, people and...

      I thought it was an ordinary literary film, but I didn't expect it to be such a stream-of-consciousness film... The pictures and camera movements are really good, but a lot of parallel editing with vague meanings and the words and deeds of characters who lack cause and effect make the overall narrative obscure and incomprehensible. Friendly, as if rejecting people thousands of miles away. And the plot is obviously a crime story, but unexpectedly adds sci-fi settings... It's hard to call it a...

      Advantages: The concept is unique, the director is a small expert who handles everything by himself, and some of the objects are beautiful. Disadvantages: The relationship between men and women and the portrayal of characters are extremely boring. The overall photography style is the type I hate the most. Is the director learning the Malik style in the past two years? While acting as a guinea mouse committing obsessive-compulsive disorder, creating a new height for the Lake...

      The symbolism of stream of consciousness is a bit deep, too depressing, too...

      It is somewhat of an experimental nature, basically telling a story under the stream of consciousness, and exploring the possibility of film language in the counterpoint between the story and the picture and the lens. It's a movie that I've only watched once and didn't dare to jump to conclusions. 7...

      Although the recommended beautiful colors, accented editing, and literary soundtrack, such a scene with such a theme is a horror movie for me, who is super afraid of soft bugs, and can't be saved by twice the speed. The pulsation, the probe that drilled out of the skin probed the brain, including the water soaking in front, the nightmare of a few days has come to an end, the hands are soft and the feet are...

    Movie quotes

    • Thief: Each drink is better than the last, leaving you with the desire to have one more. Take a drink now.

    • Thief: The next drink must be earned and I'm going to tell you how. Focus closely on my instructions. I will ask you to repeat them from memory.

    • [On the train, during their second encounter]

      Jeff: I called you. I can't do this every day, this makes me late for work. There are four trains after me. So you're going to have to answer if I call.

      [She ignores him]

      Jeff: I'm gonna call. Again.
