One of the funniest movies I've seen recently. The same night, the same moment, different locations, the same taxi space, different stories, it seems very fragmented, but this kind of fragmentation is part of the beauty, right? Each story is well told, short and concise, and enlightened. Metaphors, line echoes, and foreshadowing are all well played.
The story of Los Angeles has clearly shaped two classes, thinking about the life they want, and the two heroines have their own style. The story in New York reminded me of the Bulgarian movie "Direction". The loneliness and thinking of "Where is he going" has always struck me. In the funniest language of the five stories, I told what I think is the saddest. story. The story of Paris is a classic "blind man can see the essence of life better than the sighted" story, the blind wild rose is still the wild rose. Rome's story is rather absurd, the loner is the one-man show, and the game of protest against the dreary finally really hits the punch and breaks the balance of the joke. The story of Helsinki fits the Nordic cold tone, and it feels good to end at the end of daybreak, and that's how the night on Earth ends.
I think it's called "Earth Night", probably because nights like this always happen on Earth. Every story has its own particularity, but behind it there are common problems, common thinking, and common emotions. And the general human sense of loneliness. A taxi is originally a space where different people collide. Isn’t a taxi at night a good place for stories and condensed loneliness?
All in all I like it! Emotions and sorrows are in a relatively balanced state. Not an emotional expression, but every emotion has an outpouring, every thought has a hint. I also like the soundtrack.
