Documentary is also coquettish

For nearly a year and a half, I stayed in the snow and ice where birds don't poop, just to make a documentary. I have to say, this is called a man! Here, on behalf of myself, I would like to express the highest respect to the documentary filmmaker, Frasidi!
When the man watched "China", he felt that this was called a real documentary. It was just how he filmed it in a normal way, and how it was filmed on a daily basis. Even though there were some grand narratives behind it that he couldn't understand, he didn't think it was anything, no. Understand it, just move it. When I saw "Wandering Beijing", I was deeply shocked. Why is there such a small group of tossing people? It doesn't matter if you live in the basement, it doesn't matter if you can't eat, it doesn't matter if you kill yourself. is ideal. After playing this movie, I believed in a truth, that ideals are used to play! What did you go to play when you were young? Men play women? Then you have to have capital, and you have to have time. Women play with men? In the movies of the 1990s, we rarely saw such themes, and it was all two thousand years later. So, only the ideal is left to play. It doesn't matter if you play it painfully and cruelly. In the eyes of outsiders, this is good-looking. In other words, you can play your own life into performance art, which is also your ability and your life.
Therefore, when the master saw this "Nanuk of the North" by Frasidi, it was a shock. Dare to love, documentaries can be so coquettish! You can see that the scene is so dazzling that people can't open their eyes. When catching seals or sea lions, the whole film became a story of pulling carrots. It is also said that this is a famous one in the history of film, long shot! Oh shit. Thinking about it again, this is all the result of the director bringing a limited number of people to wait for a long time. How can a coquettish person be so coquettish inside and outside the show!
To sum up, this movie, "Nanuk of the North", completely subverted my view on documentaries. Who said that documentaries have to be plain? "North" deeply frightened the master with its showy energy and the long shot of squatting down.
