a long cold joke

As you get older, you will find that the things that control you become more and more vague and abstract, and even if you want to stand up and fight, you can't see the enemy. Ironically, people like to refer to this fog as "reality".

As a result, Jiamusu turned "reality" in the opposite direction, embodied his thoughts as characters, and embodied resistance as a plot, and an inexplicable and sultry assassination appeared. This is really boring, not fake. The trailer basically stuffed two-thirds of the lines in this film; most of the time in the movie, under the lovely lens of Du Kefeng's composition of fairy tales, the whole film did not follow more than ten times. The protagonist of the black buddy with a stern face and a line went silently together. Maybe expect some interesting suspense, but don't try to find answers through plot. There is no answer in life, but one routine after another. In addition to these routine procedures, Jarmusch created another rational vision of Amitabha Buddha, eliminating the meaning of life given to social people by invisible controllers, and expressing his thoughts neatly in silence; while several symbolic roles and A few lines, more like an extension of this silence. Therefore, the suspense in the film brings people more, just a feeling for the thought itself.

There is no western style in "Stranger Things", no street culture in "Ghost Dog Killer", in "The Limits of Control", the bright and ethereal Spain is just an overhead background, Jarmusch uses a more thoroughly abstract literature Sex has pieced together the contradiction between a thinker's mentality and reality. Although it is not like the deconstruction skill of the Coen brothers' "Barton Fink", or the impact of the mutation of David Cobonnell's "Nude Lunch", it is just like the protagonist's Taijiquan. , maybe just for a peace.

    Lone Man: Reality is arbitrary.

    American: Fuck you.
