Sam Esmail's "Track of the Comet" (2014) is very experimental, with cross-flashbacks, and there are always only two people talking about it, and even the people who appear are purely through the motions. The color difference is clearly layered, and the overall poetic style is diffused. From this, you can see how the independent filmmakers in the United States other than Hollywood create their films with their hearts.

Comets don't slip past quickly, and sometimes stay for long periods of time.

As such, I have to change course. At least I have seen meteors since I was a child. I can't remember the last time I saw a meteor. The meteor that crossed the silent night sky in an instant, the trajectory was slippery, and it was too late to recollect. Even after these two ghosts were hit by the meteor shower, it was also nothing. Everything is like a meteor, the tree of life, and there are no stars in the first place. What I'm looking forward to is this sultry heat that comes and goes like shooting stars, I can enjoy the coolness, but this is no doubt a dream, because the sultry season has just begun.

Just as we can't hide our eyes, we only have Hollywood in our eyes, and we will kill them at every turn. This is both a misreading of American cinema and a blind eye to American independent filmmakers. This is a big fallacy for moviegoers. Some are even complacent with false rumors, which is undoubtedly desecrating these sincere films.

The movie itself needs a tipping point. What happened under the night sky where the meteors crossed? From the beginning to the end, Dell's whereabouts are always wandering and uncertain, just blending with the inner wandering or hesitation.

It all started on a night with strobes of meteors, and Dyer fell in love at first sight with Kimberly, a beautiful girl who had a boyfriend by her side. Dyer was unyielding and said to her, "Why do you have such bad taste in boyfriends". The fresh, elegant and intellectual Kimberly has a deer in her heart, what should I do?

Most girls can't stand such cynicism. Anyway, since I say I have bad taste, let's talk to you boy. On Dale's pirate ship, it is difficult to get off. Wanting him to fall in love with peace of mind is like watching a shooting star pass over his head every night.

In reality, no matter whether it is a diaosi, a rich second-generation or an official second-generation, this type of tank chases girls in a "sudden" way. Once they get their hands on them, they run in opposite directions. is not alone.

Once romance enters life, it is instantly revered. The elusive love, colorful like a meteor shower across the night sky, exploded into a splendid ball, and then died in the deep space. Then came the heaviness, the shattering, and the dullness.

Very simple, what Dell gave her only wanted to hurt, and Kimberly just wanted to be in love. As Kimberly said, "Even if we kiss now, when we wake up, it's over."

Yes, Dale is only suitable for a falling-star relationship. Kimberly, who has been repeatedly injured, has no choice but to find her new boyfriend, Jack, and Dale's endless chatter will not help. For Dale, he is only suitable for fleeting love, and other ways are too exhausting, so there is no need for nonsense.

Comet quotes

  • Dell: Why does it feel so impossible to let you go? It's an addiction, you know. That's all it is. It's a biochemical addiction. It's so stupid. If you think about it relationships are all totally narcissistic. Basically, you're just looking for someone who'll love you as much as you love yourself. That's all it is.

    Kimberly: -No, it's not.

    Dell: -Yes, it is.

    Kimberly: No, it's not. No, it's not.

    Dell: I don't know anything anymore. But I know I do love you.

  • Dell: Dell: I just have to tell you something more important really quick. You know that book I've been reading, "The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins, there's this fascinating part I just read about memes. He basically says that ideas are like genes that self-replicate and mutate, like a cultural form of evolution, I was thinking how that applies to us, you know? The idea of us, how we've really mutated and evolved. Right? Because you think about it, we were just dumb, young kids when we first met. And then we broke up, got back together, blah blah blah. And now we're this really mature, loving couple who's grown respect and admiration for each other.
