I like Xiaoxitian very much. There can be surprises here, you can encounter excellent movies by chance, and you can occasionally let go and follow the camera to another world, which is also very wonderful.

This film is more like a fable. The town of Salas is far from beautiful, but is as boring as the 18th-tier towns in all countries. This film talks about people being coerced by fame. When you win the Nobel Prize, you become a sculpture, you can't be yourself. In the age of digital media, cameras everywhere record your words and deeds. no freedom. This is not the most terrifying. It should be that your reputation will be used by this malicious world to achieve your own interests. It may be as small as eating dumplings at my house, buying an electric wheelchair, or as big as selecting Excellent paintings are full of fame and fortune. If others ask for something, if you don't respond, that's your indifference. How can you face this pervasive system? When you have the power to easily satisfy everyone and gain both fame and fortune, will you choose to go with the flow and give up your heart and freedom?

Thinking that literature and rock music are the same, it is natural to rebel against this established system, and this is what breaks. But the system is so powerful, and it's constantly expanding to include it, isn't the Nobel Prize the same as the band's summer?

When the logic of capital penetrates into rock music, everyone will be able to gain fame and fortune when they are on the scene. Can the core of rock and roll cry of resistance still be maintained? I am afraid that one day, the world of Black Mirror Fable is not far away, and even suicide can be consumed and commercialized.

The story is absurd, because everyone feels their own ideas and demands are reasonable, but together they are a great ordeal.

    Worst movie I've seen recently. The director's perspective is more objective, and everyone who should be slapped has been slapped, and no one has missed it. In addition, after watching this film, you can understand what is a hometown that cannot be returned, and you can understand that after some people have fled their hometown, they never want to go back there.

    Essentially a writing class, stuffed with interesting content such as the interaction of intellectuals with villagers, the Third World, and Europe. A kind of absurd energy similar to [Wild Story], it is all hand-held photography, and the more you don’t tell the shooting rules, the more ferocious this energy is
