Roads and long shots are not as good as clouds

This film by Gus has deeply benefited the vast number of pretenders who are good at or not good at fast-forwarding...

The unhurried lens like a scenery promotional video can't help but make the bored in the movie germinate to study the composition of photography. Interests...

The process of watching the movie without understanding the plot can easily make me have absurd fantasies...
For example, when I found out that the two were called Gerry, my brain couldn't help a burst of activity, secretly yy In the end, all the hardships dissipated in an instant because there would be someone Waking up from a dream... Psychological suspense and everything are floating clouds... I know it's just yy because the atmosphere rendered by the sound is seriously inconsistent with

Gus's carefully arranged sounds. Compared with other directors who pay attention to the soundtrack and so on, they are all sloppy... Yingyingchaochuo All kinds of noises in are the blurred silhouettes of skateboard teenagers passing in the corridor and the trivial troubles in Alex's heart. In , the undercurrents in the calm campus and the intrusion of the outside world into Alex (oh , a lot of Alex) The hustle and bustle of the mind here is where Gerry's crankiness goes all the way, changing voices, after repeating weakness, the sense of panic spreads in the unconscious rambles inside...

what am I thinking about when I think ahead...
lost When Gerry thinks back, the hiking route in his mind still seems to recede behind him like a bush on the road, like a roadside scenery... And the last time I drove on the rolling road, it was already far behind... The scene of the road It has become a dream, just like the dialogue up and down the rock, whether the shadows moving on the white desert will feel like a past life... The
walker keeps throwing one after another, from the top of the mountain to the valley, from the foot of the mountain to the depth of the desert They were all enhanced to the extreme by long shots, and what followed was the fading of the previous scene in my memory... Gus has photographed so many roads, but this one reminds me strongly of Yu Hua's "Going for a Long Journey at Eighteen Years Old" >

However, if I compare it with the road of life, I may be narrow
, and if I give it 4 stars, I may be classified as a persecutor,

but I still love Yunjuan Yunshu under his lens as always.

    Watched at midnight. Woke up when I was about to fall asleep. = = (Music is good.)

    I really enjoy watching this kind of boring film on the move, not to mention such a vast and beautiful location shooting. The most stunning shot of the entire film is Casey Affleck's free fall from that rock 150 yards off the ground.

Gerry quotes

  • Gerry: [after several minutes of walking in completely silence] Fuck you.

    Gerry: Fuck you.

  • Gerry: I conquered Thebes.

    Gerry: When?

    Gerry: Two weeks ago.

    Gerry: How'd you do it?

    Gerry: Well, I got... I did more than that, actually. I said to Gerry, "I ruled this land for ninety-seven years... and, uh... and, uh, I'd like it." I had all the sanctuaries built. And then I, uh... this hot lava leaked out of a volcano, and half destroyed one of the - my sanctuary to, uh... Demeter, I guess it was. And, um... but I didn't have the... the marble to rebuild, like, the sculptures, and the - to fix the sanctuary. But I already had all these, um, docks, to, like, Calydon and... Argos, and... I had everything. I had everything. Um, I was trading with, like, twelve cities. And, uh... I had-I had a really good army. But, um, the river had - the river had just flooded. And it flooded out, like, four of my docks, and I couldn't import the marble, to rebuild the sanctuary. And she got - Demeter got really pissed off, and so she made my fields infertile. And then, uh... so I couldn't grow the grass. I couldn't grow the wheat, to feed the horses. And there was no... I couldn't... and there was nowhere for the sheep to graze... and the goats. And so my people were getting hungry and restless, and then, um... and so I, I couldn't trade because the - the rivers had flooded. And so, uh, Knossos, one of my vassals, got really upset with me, and, um... turned against me. And they, uh... attacked me. And because I couldn't, I couldn't train any sheep 'cause I didn't have the wheat. I didn't have, uh... I didn't have a, um... a, uh...

    Gerry: You couldn't train any sheep?

    Gerry: I couldn't train any of the *horses*, because I, uh, didn't have the wheat. And so, when they attacked me, I just got... they just dogged me. And I actually went to send my army out to defend the city, and, like, you can only send 'em out if you have, uh, twelve - if you have twelve, uh, trained horses, and I had eleven. So... I was one... horse... shy... I don't know... of saving the city.

    Gerry: So then you didn't really...

    Gerry: Oh, I *had* conquered Theb - I had just conquered Thebes. And then that happened.
