His films are always emphasized "absurd". Regarding this word, I think of Marquez saying "One Hundred Years of Solitude": what I wrote is not magic, those are real! The so-called "absurd" should be true.
Been thinking about "dramatic" issues lately. "Showing life with drama" and "showing drama in life" are two completely different concepts. "Drama" and "drama" should be a material reality that exists independently of life. There are dramatic events in life, but those things are material rather than real "drama", and drama has its own unique laws of existence. Too much indulging in the drama of life can be vulgar and trivial...I think that's exactly what we're getting into when we're filming "The Absurd." When writing stories, screenwriters always think that such things can really happen in life... and some people will emphasize: "This is true!". But when I watch the movie, I always feel that this is too ridiculous...
The joints in it have not been fully figured out... I think of Guan Hu's "Killing", which is an absurd and dark humorous film. . But when you look at it, it feels contrived. why? I have been thinking about this question, how should the absurdity in our lives be presented?
Drama and drama should be highly generalized and abstract, and it cannot be called drama by piling up interesting things in life. The Tao Te Ching's five thousand characters seem to summarize the laws of all things in the world. Likewise, drama and life should be in a similar relationship.
In fact, this movie should be watched over and over again. Think carefully about where the "absurd" comes from, and why it makes people talk about it without feeling pretentious. (Actually, there are some things that make people feel artificial in this film. It is because of this that it is easier to figure out what is good and what is not.)
