A work that shows the strength of Lao Fei

When American film critic Roger Ebert commented on some of the most powerful directors in the world at that time, he said that Lao Fei was born to make movies.

Ingmar Bergman is characterized by the height of thought and the depth of soul exploration;

Hitchcock's films are winding paths, full of craftsmanship;

Luis Buñuel constructs a sarcasm of human nature through his manipulation of fantasy and deformity.

Lao Fei, he is like playing a movie, just like breathing out through his nostrils, he can arrange the most complicated scenes clearly, cleanly and lightly. He is Willie Mays of the movie industry (one of the legendary superstars of Meibang).

This and the Roman style painting can be used as a companion piece, and the difference between the prose film and the semi-biographical film can be seen.

Rome is more scattered and grander, like a documentary. Several characters in this film are like portraits of neighbors. There is no dramatic conflict, but it is more intriguing.

I saw Rome first, and the senses were too shocking, so I was preconceived.
