Wim Mendes once said when talking about Ozu's movies:
"Our world is constantly changing, and the time for thinking, introspection and observation is becoming scarcer. Today's movies are always in a hurry, following the speed of television. So much information and "visual noise" constantly attack We, so that we often lose our ability, are immersed in silence and humanity."
Communication between people is too exhausting.
How much time is spent in life on maintaining unnecessary or forced interpersonal communication, I have not counted, but difficult to coordinate texts and repeated dialogues really wipe out the only patience and gentleness in the factory model. . The reality of clearly living in the same time and space is broken by chaotic communication, and people gradually become illogical and irrational, leading to the edge of death.
This kind of death is not the stop of the heart beating, nor the stopping of breathing, but a kind of emotional rupture of the same kind that is difficult to be maintained and sewn. In the process of continuous breaking and reorganization, many people even lose enthusiasm for the things they like, just like fishermen in the deep sea cannot plug the leaky boat carrying themselves, slowly, slowly, sinking Go to the bottom of the sea and become an ancient story.
I often envy those young people who are full of enthusiasm for people and things in life, full of vitality and vigor, and are willing to accept and accommodate all the greetings and greetings. And I seem to be isolated from all means of communicating with the outside world. Being alone, alone, never-ending alone, this is how I continue to live as an individual. Thinking, constant thinking. What creates the inseparable rift between human beings, just like me and them.
After I came back from Ganzi in June, I made a video with a friend. She asked me how I was going out this trip, how was Daocheng Yading, and whether it was worth it. She said that her friends don't recommend it very much, and asked me what I think. I was lost in thought. I can't always give a conclusion easily. I always have to go through many rounds of thinking, constantly overthrowing, refactoring, establishing, verifying, and then re-searching whether my answer is reasonable or objective, and then determining the final idea and position. Give an opinion easily, always afraid of negligence, or give an unfair answer because of insufficient in-depth understanding, if it causes harm, it will be worse. So it takes a long time to think about whether a place is worth visiting.
I am very good at expressing, but I am not good at communicating with people. After more than 20 years of practice, the innate ability to speak is not as good as the ability to express in words cultivated in the day after tomorrow. It is also rare. So at the time, I started to think about the phone, whether or not to recommend her, and whether this place is worth it. Later, I had an answer and wanted to tell her, but the busy work and tedious daily routine have left us out of contact time recently, so I have not been able to answer. After doing some sorting, I want to use this article to respond to her, and also as a souvenir.
Whether it is Ganzi, or Daocheng Aden, or any place in the world, I recommend and support her to go. You don't need to refer to anyone's opinions and experience, and if you have the opportunity, you will definitely take a trip. We are ridiculed as "community animals", but at the same time we have different degrees of yearning and expectations for art and culture. This is an important reason why I think it is necessary to go.
It is my opinion that creators should approach nature. Although she wants to be a producer more than a screenwriter or director (haha). It took almost a day to hike on a mountain with an altitude of more than 4,500 meters. That is the longest road I have traveled, there is no end, it seems that this road can lead to any place on the earth. Many places along the way are very quiet. Everything around is quiet, so quiet that I can hear my breathing and heartbeat.
It seems that I am the only one left in the world.
That was the time when I was alone with myself, it was the time alone that I couldn't feel in normal days.
Back to nature, when staying with seldom-traveled land, I can feel the wind blowing by my side, the sky with many clouds, the weeds swaying next to the stones, and the feeling of being blown by the wind. The lake water, I felt the birds hovering in the sky...the breath of everything in the world hit me at that moment. At that moment, the eye sockets were moist. At that moment, I was alive, the me who was different from usual, or the other me, I could clearly feel the difference.
Living in groups in the city for a long time, in fact, I always unconsciously use value, interest and other interpersonal habits to measure many things. It seems that all things and behaviors have become valuable and findable, and I hope to get the corresponding or whatever. Higher returns and results. To analyze, to reference, to search, to adjust, and to make all actions visualized and purposeful, but in many cases, these are not necessary at all.
Nature cannot be replaced.
We usually share some songs and movies with each other, and we hope that each other can have a better future. We all like movies, art exhibitions, the details of life that make us feel happy or sad, and those funny, boring and silly moments. For the seemingly similar future, there is no coincidence. For example, I don't have any longing for a big factory, but she still hopes to enter a big platform to exercise; production is her clear goal, but I want to write good works more. Although she will do different things in the future, I know where she wants to go.
After all, we are going to return to real life, and social labels may not have changed much in recent years. Things that seem to go wrong, in fact, there are traces to follow. We are always forced or unconsciously to do something, against principles or against mood. Dialogues between people and interactions between people are frequent but misplaced. When we are with nature, everything returns to its most primitive state. Simple, pure, but heavy and simple of life. A few steps in the wilderness, I also better understand why that old song is called "On the Field of Hope". The seemingly ordinary and ordinary things contain majestic vitality and endless tension, which may be the reason why tears are filled in the eyes.
Everything is aura. I hope she can feel it personally and recreate them in all the works she will participate in in the future. Not only her, but also herself, I hope we can all. I know that many works may not need or use this kind of emotional experience or expression, but I think this is the reason why many directors choose to use the lens to record it, use the image to tell it, and use the screen to leave it behind. reason. We should create more, rather than blindly produce.
I hope we can all have a broad vision and a deep understanding of life.
The reason for writing this article is very simple, it actually stems from a very daily conversation in our lives. The origin of the story can be anyone, but more of it is written to yourself.
I heard that the web drama project she participated in has already started. When I shared my daily routine recently, I told me that women must wear makeup. I don’t know if there are any new developments in the past few days. I hope their project can meet the audience smoothly.
