Doves thinking about existence, people thinking about life

The teacher showed it in the theater in class, the process can be said to be very tedious and boring, of course, the screening process. Watching this movie you can see Nordic humor, but it's not funny at all haha, it's even cold. At the beginning, there were three deaths, and two salesmen stopped and went to sell continuously, each time as if they were endorsing without passion, which is a microcosm of the embarrassment of human life, the emptiness of life, and the meaninglessness of life. The whole movie is a slow and dull tone. Although it is absurd, it is full of creative sense of form. I have to praise the tone and lens of the movie. Roy Anderson continues to ponder life, death, emotion, and history with Nordic humour.

As the teacher said, Hanzhiquejing is just an alias for literature and art. "Two pigeons landed on the treetops, he was resting and meditating, he was thinking about the fact that he had no money, and he flew away."

    With such a thick depth of field, only one or two lenses play a role

    Between humanity and opinions, [Hanzhiquejing] has achieved a rare and delicate balance. It looks like a mess of scattered sand, but it makes people feel that it is round and ironic. This is exactly what the works have in common with life itself: laughter floats above and sadness sinks below, but in the end they will all be inexplicable. Because time is so ruthless, this should be the source of all thinking. The film does everything [Boyhood] thought it did.
