Kalle: What can I say? It's not easy being human.

The speechwriter: My approach was a rather philosophical one. About being human year after year. This is how I see it. Life is time, and time is a stretch of road. That makes life a journey, a trip. Don't you think so?
Stefan: Yes. I guess you could look at it that way.
The speechwriter: Yet in order to travel you need a map and a compass. Otherwise you wouldn't know where you were. Would you?
Stefan: No.
The speechwriter: And our map and compass are our traditions. Our heritage, our history. Aren't they?
Stefan: Yeah, sure.
The speechwriter: If we don't understand this... Before we know it, we're fumbling around in the dark. Where are we?

#HKIFF# The third time I watched (the first time I watched a big screen film). Can be regarded as the beginning of the master stage. The camera is completely fixed, and the switching between scenes is not only narrative, but also pure repetitive lines (sometimes everything, sometimes miserable). The division of space by depth of field also begins in this section (more obvious in "The Pigeons"). The image of life-time-path is also obvious from this movie.
