Specimen bird waxed and air-dried

The film "A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence", first of all, the title of "Han Zhi Que Jing" is not well translated. It is a typical "Watching Movie" style. For example, "The Devil Wears Prada" had to be translated into "Beast in Clothes". There are actually two words in the English title, and the concept of progressive black humor, why should there be a cold? quiet?

What did I think of for the first time after watching "Han Zhi Que Jing"? 1 is the kind of European photography photos, Nordic scenery, there are cities and villages, and a few characters seem to be randomly arranged in the scene. I've seen this kind of photos many times, and I think people who see these photos must imagine the words and deeds of the characters in them. The movie is like this kind of photo with lines and action. Has a strong sense of modern visual art form.


2 There are "Sketches" in painting and "Sketches" in literature. The "Skip" created by the performance of the drama unit is a party program that Chinese audiences love to see. "Cold" is a short film. There are three lychees and a plantain leaf on the blank picture, which is very interesting. 3 "Watching", from the protagonist looking at the bird specimen in the glass cabinet at the beginning, to the fixed camera position, the scheduling design seems to be separated from the audience by a layer of glass, including the people in the play who also watch the people in the play through the glass.


Movies are not reality, but an asymptote of reality. Reality is reality, and if an art is to try to imitate reality, then cancel the art. That being the case, acknowledging the hypothetical nature of art and acknowledging that only specimen birds that have been waxed, dried and reshaped, why not simply magnify this hypothetical value and make an article on this "fake"? Once it's "fake", any symbol can be put in it

I don't like it very much. If the previous salesman and several "death" scenes still have some subtle tastes, then from the The monkeys in the laboratory went to this black slave execution device too deliberately to symbolize, as if from Velazquez to Dali all at once. This black slave drum full of trumpets reads BOLIDEN, which is a Swedish place name, famous for the metallurgical industry, probably referring to the black slave trade in the 18th and 19th centuries, which suddenly became the judge of dirty white people. Judge.

After watching "Quiet the Birds in Cold Branches", I can probably see what the director wants to say, and I also read the comments of two film critics who agree with it. I think this film is a form of expression that has unique regional colors and personal creativity, and also has some metaphysical general ideas that Europeans can understand. If it is made like this, it will not be praised in European circles.

I used to have a friend who was 5 or 6 years older than me. He studied bioengineering, which he claims is the most difficult to find and the first. After graduating with a master’s degree, he went to Peking University Medical School to work as an experimenter. Later, he went to Denmark to study for a master’s degree. One winter, he contacted me on QQ, saying that there are some, some are not, and he can't type Chinese characters in English. I remember he said that the local conditions are not as cold as Beijing in winter, the supply of infrastructure and materials is very good, the number of people is high and there are few people, and the food looks the same

. Sea breeze, polar night, tundra. By the way, the first director who stunned me, Bergman, was on the island of Faroe, and Andrei Tarkovsky's "Sacrifice".
