Absurd existence and real nothingness

Estevan 2022-03-21 09:02:39

Life is always humorous and absurd,

maybe we all come from different places, environments,

or we often want to go to different places, environments,

but when we are there, or when we look back,

all the feelings seem to be similar. .

Maybe not the environment,

but the mind.

Void, everything is but a strange shadow.

Existence, everything is heaven.

The simplicity of the image gives art a calm idea and perspective.

Few forms,

simple colors (black and white images),

sculptural lines, and

absurdly realistic scenes

are a life movie that goes against the normalization of life and goes straight to the psychological aspect.

Existence and nothingness coexist in the character's mind at the same time,

perhaps more of a sense of nothingness,

but who can really tell the so-called meaning of existence in life?

Perhaps the more interesting things in life

come from accidents and coincidences.

It is the point of uncontrollable boredom, unexpected accidents and mistakes that

life reveals the truth of existence.

isn't it?

Or do we all want to have a plan in advance in our life,

and it is called existence when we realize it slowly and steadily?

    Indifferent God's perspective, fascinating estrangement/idleness, and the black scene cuts the scene to save trouble and the original ecology. Stopping at the airport and leaving/flying off the plane at the end would be a failure, but now it's just too much fun. [Interested to complete all

    Jiamuxu's scene scheduling is very precise. Long shots constitute a series of paragraphs. The characters are placed alone on the left or right of the screen to destroy the balance of the previously constructed composition to render the feeling of "loneliness" and "alienation" in the work. The film is not without the style of European New Wave or Corismaki or even Antonioni. A moment of romance and eternal lingering and searching. Life is just a group of people doing nothing, no purpose to be found.
