Maybe it's a movie that can only be made once in a lifetime.

In my opinion, there are two kinds of great directors in the world. One has inexhaustible talent. In every film they make in their life, there is a spark of genius, such as Woody Allen, such as Yasujiro Ozu . In my eyes, such directors are rational. They are using their entire lives to make movies, distributing passion and talent into each film like a pill. And another kind of director, who also has inexhaustible talent, but they made a reckless deal with the devil - trading their lifetime talent for a few hours of greatness. This kind of director is like a lunatic in the eyes of ordinary people, using a lifetime of madness and self-destruction to accelerate the arrival of a certain moment. Fortunately, at the last moment before death, he saw the sunlight through the carved window sash turned into fragments, bringing him a lifetime. The everlasting warmth of an instant. "Exposure of Love" is the fragment of sunlight that Yuan Ziwen saw. It can be said that Sono Ziwen has left most of his talents in "Exposure of Love". The films after this, whether it is the more maddening "Tokyo Rampagers" or the worse "Why Hell is Bad", have not seen the original one that was profound in the banter, and mad in the madness, and finally wanted to make a movie. In the shadow of Sonoko Wen who said everything. I think Sono Ziwen may only be able to make one such movie in his entire life. After that, only playing tickets and repeating himself will be left, because the moment that belongs to him has passed. But one movie is enough for generations to come. Because through this movie, I seem to see that Sono Ziwen has completely consumed a certain part of his body. There is not a single bit of craftsmanship in the movie. Some of it is just a tornado of talent, which takes the audience in a domineering way. Engulfed in it, people lose the ability to think for four hours, and then swept to smash the viewing experience built by reinforced concrete for many years. In the end, when people stand in the ruins and recall the countless flaws in the movie, they are full of evil spirits.
