movies and cities

I just went out for a walk, and I forgot to take the key and smashed the door. The neighbor was already asleep. . .

Passed by the

parking -rise building in the 13th district, the Taiwanese Buddhist shrine in the parking garage, the incandescent light with the bright smell of urine
, walking through the passage in the middle of the night, the bright red Buddhist shrine appeared in the corner, it was very strange This is one of the few scenes in Galex's sacred car dealership. This movie has been adored by many people plus many people who can't understand the meaning and put all kinds of hats on the director, not to mention He seems to be sorry for his little emotion of pretending to be X. My family lives in a high-rise not far from this weird underground passage. People who have come to Hong Kong come to my house. The first emotion is that this place is like the logo of McDonald's not far from the Chinese Super League station downstairs in Hong Kong. They are all written in Chinese. In the same middle of the night, after passing through the same place in the same place, the plot will naturally appear in my mind. I just want to say that Galex's film is very "Paris, I Love You". I can't tell that this is Paris, a little fragment, the origin of the story should be the existence of the scene, the Marshalidan department store in a very good location but still in ruins, you can feel that Galex lives in this city, so he will The instinct and sensitivity of a well-known and unknown regional director who appeared in Paris at a certain time, such or such stories or feelings appear in the mind, there are too many accumulated materials, it does not matter if it is not rich enough, it doesn’t matter if you think of an idea and string them together, it becomes The more unreliable the idea, the more obscenity the film critics can tout, the more they can interpret it, right? When I watched the theme music of the movie recently, my first reaction when the protagonist walked through the city was


























Hey, isn't this a XX I love you

Sofia Coppola's Lost in Tokyo is a peerless beauty,
one is modern Tokyo, the other is 18th century Paris, the
girl is in a trance, walking through the scene with modern electronic music, it can be the streets of Akihabara. It's the royal palace


. I think the first thing that appears in a story before it takes shape is a certain scene that gives the director a feeling for the screenwriter. The relationship between the
film and the city is so delicate.
