Grief is merely a part of the historical canvas

"A Ghost Story" reminds us that we are both wildly insignificant and unbelievably important in the same moment. When considered against the grand canvas of history, both past and present, our actions can't be deemed essential to an understanding of humanity's greater issues . There were likely people in your house before you were there, and there will likely be people there after you die. And yet considering ourselves as mere specks on the timeline of existence misses the power of the little moments in our lives. Our actions are both insignificant and essential ... at the same time. Lowery's film captures something about our place in the greater scheme of the world and the beauty of the moment in a way that feels completely fresh and unbelievably moving.This isn't a movie so much about grief—we've had a lot of those lately—as it's about understanding the greater ebb and flow of human existence. Grief is merely a part of the historical canvas.

    In fact, most of the time I saw the front, I felt that although it was very delicate and liked, it was enough to make a short film; but the film became interesting from the time when time and space were chaotic. A lonely soul witnessed the changes of the times, he was waiting for a specific person or It's a sentence that defines one's own existence-David Lowe is a critically ill patient with nihilism, but it's really romantic. I would love to watch Cassie and Mara even if they were chatting with a couple for ninety minutes!

    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.
