go to destiny

Go, go, keep going.

This is the most impressive shot I've ever seen after watching "The Elephant".



It can be regarded as a psychological film, a documentary, a realistic film, a campus film~~~~Three-quarters of the story is swayed by the hurried footsteps and the peaceful music, and there are occasional conversations and laughter, the time is messy, it seems memory. Beginning in a sunny afternoon, the rhythm is still a bit brisk. After the gunfire, dark clouds appeared, and the road was wet.


Just like a monster lurking underwater, immersed in a solid liquid, only the flowing sound in the ear reminds the change of time, deceived by the light rhythm of the mottled light and shadow on the water surface, once the water breaks out, it leaves a mournful giant. Loud, short and violent.



Here they saw the power of fate, and they kept walking, scrambling to reach the terminal of fate.



The long shot goes with the walk. I even wonder if I should go on like this, turn a corner, push open a door, and keep repeating these short dozens of minutes, the traces that everyone has walked, different The threads are intertwined at a certain moment, then scattered, and fall together on the dense net of fate.



"Elephant" is a proverb, but the impossible happens. In so many footsteps, meaning or boredom, commemoration or oblivion, truth or illusion, silence or noise, waiting for a choice.
