The cycle and duration of love

"Ghosts and Ghosts", a story about the coexistence of loneliness and warmth, is like an extension of the short film "Reminiscence Building Blocks" from another perspective. In the story, the hero C and the heroine M were originally a pair of loving lovers. Later, C died in a car accident and turned into ghosts in white sheets. The people who love each other can only be separated by yin and yang under the same roof.

When the tragedy happened, the sound of the picture was handled cleanly. The sound of keys, the tap of a tap, the sound of a fork across a glass plate, and even a sob amplifies the loneliness. M was sitting on the ground, holding back tears, and kept eating pie, while the ghost watched, as if it was an endless long shot, bringing emotions into the endless sadness. Until one day, M kissed another man at the door of the house and started a new journey. As a ghost, C was still obsessed with a note and stayed in the house to witness the passage of time.

The stars moved, the ghosts wandered day after day on the green earth under the twilight, and then he saw other ghosts, passing through the memory of history, it turns out that the stories of generations have accumulated, reincarnated, stretched in this room, in love unwilling to disperse in the obsession. The grand themes of separation of life and death, existence and nothingness, reincarnation and religion are slowly flowing out in the story of a white cloth sheet, and the imagination is full of the creator's infinite warmth and compassion for the deceased.

"safe, safe, safe," the heart of the house beats proudly. "long years—" he sighs, "Again you found me."—" A HAUNTED HOUSE "

    I really want @米粉, because I feel the same, I have been thinking that it can be made into a short film within half an hour, and I want to make a feature film for Mao. But after the vicissitudes of life and the passage of time, I feel that the idea of ​​the film is different in an instant, and the grandness of "The Tree of Life" was actually shot. However, the backside of all this is just two words: affection. Since it is affectionate, it must be read with the sentence of death, and waiting has meaning.

    Finally figured out what it's like to play tricks - pointless long takes, deep ghosts, plain preaching, turnstiles, lightning bolts, smashing plates - a waste of time
