Times never die, the circle is not round. The three-part story structure that is connected to each other is very common. Inaritu's Tower of Babel, love is a son of a bitch, section chief's destiny, Jiang Wen's The Sun Also Rises and Jarmusu's Earth Night, etc. such a narrative structure. This narrative structure is very similar to the triptych in Western painting. Three scene fragments in the same grand narrative. The best triptych structure story I've seen is this Manzovsky's The Rain is Coming. In chronological order, the sequence of stories should be 231, which is face, photo and text. However, the ending in the text and the protagonist in the photo appear in the face, so remove these photos and the story is complete. But this is not important, the director deliberately left a hole in Yuan, just like Ah Q's regret before beheading. Add a verse, time is not dead, the circle is not round. Among the three stories, this part of the face is the best, and I don't regret losing to it on a sunny day. Shot scheduling, symbol insertion, music, beautiful photography and stunning Macedonian scenery tend to be perfect. The director's lifting camera moves from the big panorama to the characters, deepening the suffering of the subject on the vast land, just as the Orthodox priest said "before the rainstorm, flies fly around". Relatively speaking, the London section is not surprising. The only unsolved mystery is who called Kikov? What I admire about this part is that no part of the script is a waste of writing, and the details are slowly unfolded like a long scroll, and finally the whole picture is constructed. The double mapping of the taxi kiss scene and the background image is the biggest highlight of this story. The part of the photo focuses on reflection. In fact, the photographer Kikov ended up courting his own death. As a photographer, let’s start by tearing up the photos he took. He began to show a sense of powerlessness when he put his photo album under the table. Good movies made around the breakup of Yugoslavia include Underground in Kusturica, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Borderlands in Tanovic, Bosnia and Herzegovina, A Perfect Day in Anovia, Spain plus Mantsovs in Macedonia Ki's torrential rain is coming. Each has its own merits, and the rainstorm is coming is the most beautiful part of the film.
