Time and Space - Monkeys, Crypt Weavers and Bamboo Dragonflies

After lunch, watch the dance in "Degenerate Art" to digest food, and then follow the bean column of the short film all the way to "The Long Causeway". It's a trick that can be done with PowerPoint. From the perspective of the experimental drama, it is enough for 4 stars.

Every time I watch "Shooting the Condor", I always feel that Guo Datou is out of tune when Huang Yaoshi takes the flute test (--hey!), because he shows a ghostly IQ that does not belong to his character: Lao Xie Zhao The rhythm is playing, but he can think of disturbing his father-in-law with drum beats that are not in line with music theory. Instead of being angry, the old man was happy and said that my daughter belongs to you, but at this time, the halo of the big head expired, and the IQ has been pulled back to the normal level.
This way of hitting the beat is beautiful from time to time (or you could say it's the right rhythm). The editing of the film is all like this. In some places, especially when the rhythm is too fast, the switching of the picture occasionally comes out in a flash, and the positioning is in a place that is abrupt but makes people applaud. As for the photos, there is also a lot of care. The choice of person, the appropriate montage, the still space is delicately dislocated and interspersed into a dynamic lens language, as if it is still an excellent 24 frames flowing endlessly.

Time travel can be regarded as a very popular movie proposition. As mentioned in the introduction, "The Twelve Monkeys" came only after "The Long Causeway". I read the theory of relativity when I was in high school, and I am still very superstitious about the explanation of the 'world line' in the shuttle of time and space (another theory is 'parallel universe', which should be counted in "The Butterfly Effect") - the ending of "Long Causeway" is exactly the same as the beginning embodiment of this theory. However, when it comes to "Monkey", the director uses a method that combines both, but it seems to me that it is almost evil: the key figure in casting the future has changed from Brad Pitt to another person, but the protagonist remains the same. Death, the future is still tragic. This kind of fiction, which seems to only slightly change the world line in part but does not affect the overall situation, in fact creates another new universe that is extremely unlikely to overlap with the original one, that is, 'infinity produces infinity', which has been very popular recently. Funny saying about "Monkeys and Typewriters" (I wonder if the inspiration for the name of the Twelve Monkeys came from this).

I don't know if the director of "Monkey" is intentional or not, but this kind of 'moderation' in screenwriting is very bad in my opinion. The 'world line' is full of fate, while the 'parallel universe' is more or less dynamic. When I think about it carefully, once time and space travel, there is no sequence of time (it is obvious in "Monkey"), just like space, once it is like "Jumper", the world is not three-dimensional. In the loss of rank caused by the compression of dimensions that come and go, there is always injustice between heaven and earth, as if time and space are always the winner.

Went to read a book. Time and energy are limited, can't eat what you feel, is it cool? accurate.

  • Narrator: One day, she leans over him. As for him, he never knows whether he moves towards her, whether he is driven, whether he has made it up, or whether he is only dreaming.
