"Heavy Rain is Coming" after watching (short review with super word count)

The order of time doesn't matter, reincarnation just means that similar things happen again and again. Even if it is filmed in chronological order, and a story in which the grievances of three generations of grandparents and grandchildren will never end, the meaning is the same. What puzzles me is the culture and mental state these people are in. What makes them collectively fall into violence and become slaves of violence. As if holding a gun in your hand can really do whatever you want, when in fact guns can do nothing but kill. The perverted twist of modern weapons lies not in their life-depriving power, but in their efficient destruction of all diversity and abundance in an extremely mechanical, uninteresting manner. After all, why don't they get tired of killing people with guns? Is it really addictive like killing people and taking drugs? Do they have no other fun than killing and being killed? Cultural differences are still too great.

    Time is eternal, why does war have no end? The fateful reincarnation that even love cannot save, can only be written down and passed on like this, but the torch is never enough to start a prairie fire.

    #SIFF# It's still wonderful after many years. Pay attention to more details: such as the key role of the photographer/photograph, the run-down metaphorical former residence, and the London taxi scene next to Marlow House. The Arnold Circus also happens to be a circular structure (or thought Too much, haha).
