"Intoxicated Before Departure" Written by / Linga
——Written in the legend, tomorrow is the prelude to the end.
The advantage of Van Sant is that he has always been an incompetent director. The heart of the piece. Strictly speaking, he didn't even make a literary film, it's lengthy, useless details, boring to death.
There is nothing in his film. No protagonist, no story, no plot, no climax, not even an ending. Even if there is a story, it is one thing that can be told in one sentence. For example, in this "Jerry", two idiots drove around the desert, and one of them died. Sure enough, there is nothing, right? No suspense, no coincidences, no quests to complete, no fucking last-minute rescues, any scene can be terminated at any time, and every conversation can go unanswered. The so-called Great Perfection is interesting, and Mr. Fan gave up all of them. He just likes to fight against the people watching the movie, no matter how hard he gets, you think that the protagonist will not die, but the protagonist is dead, really dead. Disillusion all your beautiful dreams, throw everyone into a desperate purgatory, and extract the true humanity and soul under a pair of skins.
Both of them want to live, but they don't plan to live meaningfully. To be the person they want to be is truly pale. They have no ins and outs. Sooner or later, they will return to the main line outside the story and accept the embarrassment of being embarrassed on all sides. This is an anomaly lurking in everyday life, not a true replica of burning a piano and cooking a crane to create absurdity.
There are not many movies in this way, but there is no need to watch it. It is the same as the timeline of real life. It is as empty, boring, long and boring as your life itself. Or, this is the naked essence of life. Those who have the heart to burn the qin and boil the crane must be well versed in the elegance of the qin and the crane. As for the stories of these two idiots, it was just Mr. Fan's runaway in a given itinerary, and it was automatically updated in two parallel pictures in parallel.

As a digression, I recommend a small game that is similar to the film, called "Desert Bus". Go to the game introduction.

"Desert Bus is very simple to play, you just need to drive a bus from Tucson, Arizona, through the desert to your home in Las Vegas, and the operation is simplified to only the left and right direction and accelerator buttons. If that's all, then this game can be called a good driving simulation game. "The game is as numb as reality", this sentence is a game called "Desert Bus (Desert Bus)" "Desert Bus" is the most boring game of all time - it didn't even get a chance to release because, at least for most gamers who want "fun", it's just too... realistic, realistic Boring, to the point of madness. The boredom of this game is so different, it's madness with black humour from start to finish. If you've ever experienced this game, you'll say, "So What a beautiful thing to watch all those beauties in swimsuits romp around in front of me! "The perversion The perversion of
this game is:
1. The time in the game is synchronized with the real world, which means that you need at least 8 hours to drive the car from Tucson to Las Vegas;
2. The game Can't pause, can't save, which means you can only get through the game for 8 hours at a time;
3. Don't expect you to play some tricks, such as using tools to jam the buttons to keep moving forward, etc. Or do something else during the game. Your bus will veer to the right, so you have to press the left button from time to time to correct it, otherwise the bus will fall into the desert next to the road and the game will have to restart;
4. In addition to the endless Outside the desert, there is no scenery to enjoy along the way, no passengers getting on and off, not even a car. After night falls, except for the range illuminated by your headlights, the window will become pitch black, and when you see a dusk At least 12 hours of play. So throughout the game, all your fun lies in adjusting the direction while pressing the accelerator, and driving forward at a speed of no more than 50 kilometers per hour;
5. The only consolation is at the fifth hour , a bug will hit the windshield and turn into a pool of green paste.
6. The most perverted thing is that if you drive the bus to the end, you can only get 1 point in the game, Other than that there are no rewards.
The legendary "Desert Bus", a real bus ride
Don't think that the reason this nonsense game is boring is that it is shoddy, on the contrary, every bit of it's boring, every bit of crazy feeling is definitely done by Penn and Teller. built - even if it never gets a chance to be released. Compared with those so-called best-selling games, its makers are too serious, and in the game's opening video, Penn rambles about the meaning of the game: This is the first bus simulation game in Sega game history, you have driven Race cars, planes, even submarines, but no one has ever driven something as realistic as a bus. We made this game to reflect how long and boring life is. You may think this game is boring, but if you really drive a car to Las Vegas, isn't it the same?
If the steering wheel does not deviate, if the scenery changes a little, if it can be archived, if it can be faster, if...if...but there are not so many ifs, so this game is destined to be as numb as the reality you face, Instead of giving you any fantasies and respite to add meaning to an extremely boring game (although not so positive), it makes the gamer feel self-pity when driving boringly. Think about it, driving an old bus alone on an endless highway, with only endless yellow sand outside the window, if you are not careful, you will be imprisoned, all your previous efforts will be forfeited, and even if you drive to your destination, there will be no reward—— No hotels, no casinos, no beauties, no rewards, except for a pitiful point, all of this is a desperate loneliness, because this is the reality. I don’t know if this is intentional or not, but the atmosphere created by this is by no means what ordinary games can give. At least there is no game that can make you think about your uninteresting life during the game. Really Make the "game as numb as reality" to the fullest.
Operation method: the left and right direction keys are used to control the direction, the up and down direction keys are used to control the speed, the space bar to play the horn, and the Enter key to confirm.
