1. Excellent works are all icebergs. The so-called elegance is only a tip, and the public leaks more. 2. The same is a group portrait movie, Yang Dechang's movie has a more vivid discussion on the concept level. The film is about class and Anglo-American culture, is that what it's about?
Robert's ability to shape characters and his control over the group scenes is okay, but as far as this movie is concerned, what is the technical content of the stacking of character relationships? Does this count as the "street art" that Jiang Wen said?
Maybe many people make movies just to make movies, but Yang Dechang is rare after all. Having said that, my expectation itself is problematic, why should I expect another Yang Dechang? 3. Maybe Robert has reached the realm of seeing a mountain as a mountain, but a young man like me is still keen to engage in some metaphysical things, always hoping to squeeze out a little meaning. Also, maybe this is the reason why I couldn't bear to watch Hou Hsiao-hsien. 4. The class is the same, why do I love "Parasite" more than this one? Is it because the plot of the parasite is better and the scenes are more infectious, or is it because the parasite let me in and made me cry?
A movie that can make the audience cry is indeed more cordial than a mind game.
