The hotel has always had good stories. As a node, its front and back are vague and time is limited. The three groups of people spent one night in Memphis, but it was just an ordinary night. The relationship between people and people is not as close as that of ordinary feature films, the trip of a Japanese couple to the United States, the return home of an Italian woman, the abandonment of the past by Didi, and the drunken mischief of three men. The hotel and Elvis seemed to be the intermediaries, bringing the three groups together.
The film uses a lot of long shots and fixed shots, like an objective machine, and like a partner in the same industry. The characters enter and exit the painting many times, but the camera does not follow, giving people a feeling of staring. Obviously, the director is expressing the weak connection between people, but he feels he attaches great importance and cares. Before and after the hotel, the characters are in a moving state, as if the three antennas meet at the intersection and move in their own direction, and this intersection is just one of the countless intersections in the process of the line advancing. All these intersections constitute a network. more like this guy.
Speaking of the movie, it is very lazy and relaxing, and you can watch the whole movie without thinking too much. The director's calmness is more realistic, with realistic shooting and real alienation. The name of this mysterious train may not only express the train of journey, but also refer to the train of life. A touch of sadness and shallow alienation, our wandering may be eternal, our stay is short-lived, and everyone we meet will wave goodbye to strangers who will never meet again the next day. The three appearances of the Blue Moon and the penetration of Elvis may just add to the memory point, but the director's emphasis may be on this node.
The realism and fluidity of the long takes make the film slow but unremarkable, and the picture is always beautiful and harmonious. Come to think of it, the connection with the director is like the Italian woman and the man who tells the story.
