I like it very much. Abbas's late film mirror language is really rich, and it is getting closer and closer to the feeling of European movies. It also makes people miss him in the "village trilogy".
A movie is a simple "masking", and a simple separation of sound and picture can create a complex and rich flavor.

On the setting of the disturbing, vexing insecurities in the first scene of the film:
① Covering the figure: The man across the table from Kotomi
②Interrupted and resumed jokes, bosses who come and go are ineffective plots that have nothing to do with the narrative.
③Crowded people, moving people
④Noisy human voice
⑤ Jazz, amplified sound effects
⑥Large depth of field
⑦Low-key
The sense of insecurity brought by this scene is opposite to the interior space that Abbas said gave him a sense of security, and the bar scene was followed by a car that felt safe to Abbas. Space, Xiaoqiu also fell asleep in the car. Many scenes in the film feature amplified traffic sounds.
> The most obvious difference in the later films relative to Abbas' earlier films is the addition of music.
>Prop: Mirror
①Long shot: Haozhi went out to make a phone call, and the larger figure was reflected on the glass wall of the bar, and his identity as the boss shrouded the company colleagues in the bar. In this scene, the shadowy figure sitting opposite Kotomi appears. Haozhi's image turned back, as if looking down at Xiaoqiu, as if the people in the house were affected: Xiaoqiu left, and then everyone turned back because of Xiaoqiu's departure, but at the same time they seemed to be looking back at Haozhi. Next, the camera pans to the right, Xiaoqiu pushes the glass door to go out, Haozhi just enters, and the two figures overlap because of the mirror.
② Watanabe's house also installed a floor-to-ceiling mirror next to the bedroom door.
③ Fixed long shot: Watanabe is sitting on a chair in the bedroom, and the TV shows Xiao Qiu on the bed.
④ Watanabe drove Xiaoqiu, and Xiaoqiu was obliterated by the blue sky and white clouds reflected on the glass of the car.
⑤Xianming, who works outside the car while repairing the car, and Xiaoqiu, who works in the rearview mirror
>Abbas likes to set up some trivial "obstructions", such as jokes interrupted by the boss, the boss goes and returns, and Watanabe is called back when he urgently stops by the roadside. Endless flavor.
> Peeping woman, well-balanced framed composition: the cage.
> In addition, Xiaoqiu was photographed sitting on the side of the co-pilot Watanabe, and her eyes were so beautiful.
