The best time that can't be filtered

Such a fantasy-themed film uses a method of almost documentary-style reproduction of reality, and uses the way of filming to preserve the best memories of life.

If it were me, to make such a choice after death, I would also choose to stay there forever as an angel. Just like movies for me, I couldn't choose the favorite one in my heart, and the surprise of watching the movie at that time was difficult to reproduce, but every movie-watching experience was wonderful.

Sitting quietly under the big tree to enjoy the green coolness, the breeze blowing on the face outside the window while sitting on the bus, the delicious taste of a certain food only once, are all the little lucks in life.

As director Hou Hsiao-hsien said: "There are many auspicious katana in my life, which are hard to name, hard to categorize, and can't constitute any significance, but they just linger in my heart. I call them, the best times. The best times. , not because we are the best so we miss them, but the other way around, because we are lost forever, we can only call them with nostalgia, so we become the best."

    So beautiful and sad. Which memory do I choose? The first time I hold the hand of a boy I like at the beach, the first time I watch a movie with a boy I like in a movie theater, or the wandering in Nanjing after a terrible relationship. These are the first batch of drills. It came to my mind; I also thought of calling my sister in the corridor after the postgraduate entrance examination results, and sharing the results of the re-examination with friends in the taxi, and the moment when the college entrance examination was over. These are rare and very relaxing experiences: it's over Can you die? The comparison movie also thinks of a cheap gauze skirt when I was a child, begging my mother to cherish it after a long time, and being held in her arms by her mother in rainy days and yelling Maomao, Maomao. I really want to know your answer, but don't tell me.

    On the surface, it explores the Japanese outlook on life, life and death. The essence is that the filmmakers are transformed into angels "Purdue" sentient beings, decisively discussing the meaning of film existence.

After Life quotes

  • Kenji Yamamoto, who wants to forget his past: Say I choose a memory, from when I was eight or ten years old. Then I'll only remember how I felt back then? I'll be able to forget everything else? Really? You can forget? Well, then that really is heaven.
