At some later point it seemed like it dawned on me that it didn't matter what the movie said, it was the real point.
Analyzing the ideas conveyed by the story is tedious, and all kinds of analysis push the film to the dissection table. After thinking about the various symbols, various compositions, and various hints inside, there is no meaning.
Just like the unseen horror in a horror movie is scary. There is a kind of emotional state diffused in the adventure, using images and sounds... instead of telling a story. It's like blindfolded to identify the environment by smell: kitchen, hospital, church, toilet...
Watching this movie can't help but think of Ozu, stylized images, dull rhythm, creating a world that can be felt but cannot be expressed. In fact, this kind of feeling is very suitable for Chinese people. Chinese painting has always been about artistic conception. What is painted is not important, but the feeling conveyed is important... Why is it different later?
Regarding the constant shifting of the protagonist and the plot: we are planning our future all the time, we are constantly shifting our goals, changing our minds, and when we find out, we make up various excuses to explain our behavior—explain it to ourselves listen. But when a moment of inspiration flashes, you will find that you have actually been spinning around in the same place, and you have never been able to escape yourself. And so began to be very emptiness and depression... The world is like this, like life is day after day. What is the time? Something that cannot be measured.
About the slow pace: I remember what the book said, the fast pace of American movies, the slow pace of European movies, and the very, very slow pace of Asian movies. Now everyone is imitating American movies, and we are also learning, but we are not learning very well.
I like the feeling of changing perspectives, first a rich girl, then Monica, then a man for a while, and finally Monica...
why do you cry at the end? In front of the world (time, space, society, environment, people...) we are all children... Crying because of grievances~~
