It just makes the boring even more boring

Saying it is a movie is more like an essay, revealing a strong literary quality.

It's like an essay novel mixed with poetry, prose, and argumentative essays. It's literary enough, but it doesn't look good, at least for me.

It's kind of interesting, it's kind of special, it's worth it, and maybe I'll like it a few years back, but right now, I really don't like it. It may be that I have thought too much in the past few years, especially when I know that the only question and no one knows the answer, everything seems even more powerless and pale.

Only a wasteland remains.

It's not bad movie, just I don't like it.

Yes, there is only one question, but unfortunately no one has an answer. But I'm still desperately discussing, discussing human nature, discussing truth, discussing the universe, nothingness, existentialism, all kinds of doctrines, all kinds of religions, I'm tired of it, and I don't even want to rate it.

Because it just makes boring even more boring.

    Milky Fei finally has an eye-catching literary film this year! Using the background of "Blizzard Villa" as a projection, a story about myself is presented, which is so clever and delicate. A masterfully handled existential/nihilistic three-act play. After reading it, I wanted to see who was so daring and pretended to be so shy to talk about metaphysics in a tricky way. When I saw Kaufman, (clasping fists) I'm sorry, it's you. This film is more metaphysical than Anomalisa, and more personal than New York's allegory. I think this is probably the best literary film I have seen on Netflix in the past two years.

    The falling snow, empty lanes, and several encounters at different times, those fears about aging, loneliness, and identity are coming in bursts—before I am convinced that I have not understood all the stories, I want to In the quilt in the winter, relive it. Lovers on the verge of collapse and dreamlike movie imagination (about 50 minutes of "Robert Zemeckis"!) or light dance alternately, and it is also wrapped in a suspenseful original coat that seems to be decrypted and brought into the film. The feelings are multiple and there is a very strange and gorgeous. The performances of Jessie Buckley and Jesse Plemons complement each other very well, and I am already looking forward to what they can get with Charlie.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things quotes

  • Janitor: What does your boyfriend look like?

    Young Woman: It's hard to describe people. It was so long ago, I barely remember. I mean... We never even talked, is the truth. I'm not even sure I registered him. There's a lot of people. I was there with my girlfriend... We were celebrating our anniversary, stopped in for a drink, and then this guy kept looking at me. It's a nuisance. The occupational hazard of... of being a female. You can't even go for a drink. Always being looked at. He was a creeper! You know? And I remember thinking, I wish my boyfriend was here. Which is... That's sort of sad, that being a woman, the only way a guy leaves you alone is if you're with another guy. Like, if... like... like you've been claimed. Like you're property, even then. Anyway, I can't... I can't remember what he looks like. Why would I? Nothing happened. Maybe it was just... I think it was just... Just one of thousands of such non-interactions in my life. It's like asking me to describe a mosquito that bit me on an evening 40 years ago. Well, you haven't seen anyone fitting that description, have you?

  • The Voice: It's not bad, once you stop feeling sorry for yourself because you're just a pig, or, even worse, a pig infested with maggots. Someone has to be a pig infested with maggots, right? It might as well be you. It's the luck of the draw. You play the hand you're dealt. You make lemonade. You... you move on. You don't worry about a thing.
