"Poetry" This is my fourth Li Changdong. Compared with the painful viewing of "Burning", "Oasis" and "Mint", "Poem" is more like a shot of anesthesia. In the ugliness and vulgarity of reality, her expectation of seeking beauty is so pure, and she firmly believes that "there will be poetry in the sink", and she confronts the reality of fate through poetry. She suffers from Alzheimer's, but wrote a poem for her in the hope of "meeting you again" as parents celebrated that the slain girl could finally be forgotten. I think this is a female-themed film. An old woman finds inspiration from the experience of a murdered girl, and this poetry is the guilt and atonement for the girl, the satire and resistance to the dirty reality and patriarchal society. . It was raining heavily on the river bank, and this time she brought an umbrella.

    1. Li Cangdong’s precise blanking and ability to direct actors, as well as his quiet and restrained hand-held long mirrors are impressive (the most typical is [mint candy]), and the "sun" in the miserable predicament is also constantly in the sequence of his works Recurring imagery. 2. Two sets of binary oppositions: Poetry as the original language tries to catch words in the threat of losing language (Alzheimer's disease); poetry and reality & beauty and evil conflict, although Adorno said after Auschwitz Writing poems is barbaric, but in reality, poems can also face inhuman ugliness, just like the death poems of Paul Celan and Trakl. 3. "It is not difficult to write poems, it is more difficult to write poems with a mood of mind." 4. Several students "the most beautiful moments in life": teach grandma to sing, give birth (a fireball like the sun slides out), a new house (you can lie on the floor in a big font, as if you have the feeling of the world), churches and The beauty of the fallen leaves, the desperate and unattainable love (to the point of death, but the beautiful pain), the love of my sister. 5. See the Christian scene again. In addition, dare to shoot the sex of the elderly, it is worthy of being a writer and director who faces reality and lives on the ground. 6. The same mirror: flowing river water. (9.0/10)
