From an obscure high school student to a well-known writer who occupied the top spot on the best-selling list all the year round, the rising star began to sink into the whirlpool of memory and couldn't extricate himself. The three dream-like memories and reality are intertwined, and the three deaths are centered around the box buried in the dirt. Like a fiction in a novel, but also like a real shadow, the confusing story is fascinating. The last fifteen minutes are the heart of the deciphering, with oval flashbacks intertwined indiscriminately with passages of the hero's life. His joy and expectation, his unease and self-blame, his loneliness and regret. Before resting, he told the secret of why he, who was once glorious, chose to travel around the world. Foreign media generally did not have high comments on the film, saying that the script was superficial and the lines were hypocritical, and the immature performances of the actors also hindered the film, giving only a low score of 2.7. But the cinematography and editing of the film have its advantages, the shyness of youth, the dodging loneliness of middle age, the afterglow of the end of life, the composition of many scenes is very beautiful, and it has the style of a literary film. The eloquent old song "Tomorrow is a long time" (Tomorrow is too far away), which is matched at the end of the film, is simple and affectionate, and it plays a role of finishing touch. At the end of the journey, I always like to look back on the past, and the softest moments left in my heart are frozen in front of my eyes. If today was not an endless highway If tonight was not an endless trail If tomorrow wasn't such a long time ) Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
