Attendance rate: almost full, and a few chairs were added in the aisle . One of my favorite works by Xi Fat, finally showing the amazing shivering feeling of

Zhenrong on the big screen , it will not disappear with the passage of time.

The whole audience screamed together. It was a perfect date with Xi Fat.

The quality of the film is still a little regrettable. The connection between the film changes was not very good

. The 2-minute scene of the bird attacking the school, when the scene is over, looking back at the back is quite familiar, isn't it subb? long time no see forgot

    The first time I even watched it, I panicked. The sound effects of the flock of birds are so well done. I didn't hear the thunder and lightning in Beijing tonight.

    The Cold War film from the perspective of Western conservatism. The creatures that oppose the ideological camp (civilization) bring irrational threats of cold violence and the extreme panic and hesitation of the victims in a state of ignorance. The old stranger in the bar tried to use her rational knowledge of birds to dissolve her fear. She was quickly slapped in the face because an attacker from another world who did not understand rationality did not follow the character's definition and classification of them. But Xi Pang still tried to make a Freudian explanation for the opponent’s psychology, so he substituted his masterful incest sentiment, and started conflicts with the host’s mother’s inexplicable hostility and jealousy towards the charming and energetic female protagonist. When stimulated, he quickly broke away from the character's body and spread to the entire town space, externalizing as a flock of birds attacking the helpless people for no reason and no difference. The quality of the film is excellent, but it cannot conceal Xi Pang's fundamental cognitive error of his ideological opponents. The civilization/ideology dispute has nothing to do with the Western individualism conflict under psychoanalysis. It is the manifestation of the conflict of the ideological nature of different civilization groups. And to this day, the West’s understanding of this is still as wrong as this film, so there is no progress and nothing is known.
