It was only the sixteenth year after the film came out that I had the opportunity to enjoy it. The atmosphere of the whole film, whether it is the outstanding performance of the little boy, the long shots of the director, or the languid narrative style of the whole piece, all give people a dull but powerful depressive feeling.
The film starts with a weird warmth and ends with another weird warmth. Maybe, as my friend said, another leading role in this film is time. In a world where time is flowing freely, no matter how absurd the script of life is, it is the most real look of life.
No criticism, no accountability, not even a single sob, not a single tear. Everything seems so insignificant in front of time, time will wash away all hysteria, soften every most vicious curse into a plain "Xiaoxue she has grown taller".
Heartbreaking.
