I just watched "Burning" and then "I Am Blake". It can be said that they are both films that describe society, but the styles are very different. One is rich in imagery and the other is bland. An unforgettable space. A few points are more impressive: First, the male and female protagonists in the film are always in the door frames stacked on top of each other. Whether it is a room or an attic, they seem to be unable to break free from these rules and regulations, and they are always in a depressing atmosphere. The second is that Blake has been walking. Excluding economic factors here, perhaps walking like a handwritten resume is a silent resistance to the modern industrialized society, and another implication is a concrete manifestation of the efforts made on the road to survival. The third is that the entire film seems to have no soundtrack or background music. I remember Mr. Dai Jinhua once said that the more connotative the film, the less the soundtrack will be used, because the music itself will greatly limit the expressiveness of the picture. This may be the embodiment of the film's cold style, calm and restrained, and reminds me of "Manchester by the Sea"...
