1) "Mirror" is a film based on my script, not a single scene is fictitious, everything comes from my family life...I am not looking for a form of memory, I am looking for everything to be "represented in reality" , which is to directly reproduce what is stored in my memory...
2) When filming "Mirror", I didn't immediately grasp what the film was about to say. I thought it was telling my own story, but it wasn't until the end of the shoot that I realized that it wasn't me at all, it was my mother.
3) The editing of the film "Mirror" is very difficult. There are more than 20 editing plans. I am not talking about the connection of individual shots, but the change of the entire structure and the change of the sequence of paragraphs. The whole film couldn't stand up for a long time. It was cut and cut, and it fell apart again. There was no sense of unity, no internal connection and inevitability, and no logic. Suddenly one day, when we tried to do another daring recombination, the film came to a standstill. It took me a long time to believe that such a miracle could happen...
4) There are about 200 shots in Mirror, which is very few. There are generally about 500 films of the same length. The reason why there are not many shots in "Mirror" is determined by the length of each shot.
5) When cinema is freed from the control of money (referring to the cost of production), when people invent the means by which the author of the artwork records reality (paper and pen, canvas and paint, marble and knife, something of the film and author), The situation will be different. Then cinema will be the first art, and the muse of cinema will be the queen of all muses.
