Especially people have the urge to make independent movies on their own

Richard Linklater, in terms of film techniques, Boyhood and Before Midnight, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset trilogy are all synchronized with the real world time. Such obsessions are exchanged for a moving sense of reality, which can be described as experimental. Practical life. And the other one, his debut novel Slacker, which is an absurd drama that is full of the overeducated, the social misfits, the outcasts and the oddballs, which is similar to family dv shooting. This is a day in Austin, Texas. From the first shot, it feels like there is only dialogue left, or more often, monologues. It seems that everyone knows anyone in the city, and this is precisely the link between the scenes. There is no protagonist, no plot of more than 2 minutes, one person walks into another person’s life and then leaves, the camera turns to the latter, so repeated and coherent , Finally led to an unprecedented subculture discussion.
Introduce a scene from the beginning. The
director is sitting in a taxi and chattering about his dreams. It is estimated that he is talking about the existence of daily experience (dream, reality, multiple) derived from the parallel universe (the raw meat eaten does not fully understand) . The taxi driver drove the car intently with expressionless face, and looked at the rearview mirror from time to time, very focused, and didn't care.
I feel that these two people are actually the same person. He feels unreal in his life and hopes to make another choice, which is not so normal, but he has already gotten in this taxi, regardless of his inner desires. No matter how strong it is, you must take care of your own safety, follow the road and repeat only knowingly.
Then, in order to avoid repetition, I then gave the shots to a group of people. Everyone has their own repetitions, but everyone only gives one or two shots, and they are independent of each other. Think about it, if this group of people is A person, they say weird things, do maverick things, if all of this is done by one person, then what a rich day will be.
Love the final soundtrack, and throw the video recorder down the cliff, the camera rotates in the sky, like a starry night.

    A group of boring, arrogant and incomprehensible hippies. After you sing, I will be on stage. ps The next day I thought about it, in fact, they are not hippies, they should be the urban ronin in the title, a kind of marginalized people who exile boring, friendly and lazy, a kind of life attitude that desires to communicate but seems to have nothing to communicate. Similar to Bohemian pastoral movie mood. I should also be an urban ronin.

    The prototype of all director Lin's films, the structure is very similar to Waking Life, like the dialogue of love in the trilogy. Again, people who like his ideas will like his movies.
