1. The film composition angle and setting are very special, and there are often oblique compositions and close-ups of the dialogue expressions of the characters. At the same time, a lot of jump cuts were used, and the overall editing rhythm was relatively fast, coupled with a lot of rock music and non-stop swear words, together created a hot, anxious, impulsive, angry, and irrational atmosphere.
2. Characterization and combination are very successful. For example, the three gossiping people are not directly related to the plot, but they are very helpful to the formation of the overall atmosphere of the film. The seemingly loose character settings are all arranged in the right way, and the narrative is very skillful.
3. The film is very rock and roll with a bit of musical exaggeration, but the theme reflected is very realistic.
The tragedy of "it was nothing" reflects the profound cultural estrangement, but this estrangement is artificially strengthened and defined. Too rough behavior and language (swear words) will magnify trivial matters (estrangement), and people who can understand each other will fight out just because of the minutiae, making contact and communication impossible.
Peace of mind is really easy to understand. Swearing seems to be an expression of being a sincere person, but if you refuse to act as a civilized person, you refuse reconciliation, symbiosis, and the sunrise of tomorrow.
Simply record your own feelings. Bordwell's "Film Art" has a special analysis of this film in the film review chapter.
PS: While watching a documentary about shooting, at the end of the original lines (after the pizza shop burned down, Mu Qi went to ask for his salary) Sar also told Mu Qi that he would take a day off and go to the beach, and also said "Do the right" thing" (just like the tramp "mayor" Mel).
