When I got rid of this masochistic addiction, and I only downloaded it online to save money, so I didn't watch the rest of the discs. Besides this one, there was "The Smell of Green Papaya" by Chen Yingying, Almodovar's "Tell Her", Truffaut's "The Four Hundred Blows".
It is said that this film is an anomaly in David Lynch's works, but I have only seen this David Lynch.
Not the usual slow. Yesterday's Juliet Liang Shanbo was already very slow, and I only watched this film several times.
Like a two-hour ballad. Although master, but not obscure, only lyrical.
This ballad is sung by an old man.
Hudev?
I like watching old people. Desire is still, the past is engraved and slowly disappears.
I like to see the sadness of old people when they get old. For example, Mr. Straight said that the hardest thing for the elderly is to think back to their energetic youth.
I prefer to see the dignity an old man retains as he grows old. For example, Mr. Straight refused a well-meaning farewell, saying that he just wanted to complete the journey alone.
Such a journey seems unimaginable to the elderly in China, because first of all, it is impossible for the children of China to let go. They are afraid of being scolded for being unfilial, so they lock the elderly in a dark room and speak coldly.
The dignity of the Chinese elderly only lies in not looking at the eyes of their children. That's pretty good.
But China also has tough old people, such as the old lady in "The Two of Us".
Mr. Straight's eyes are so charming. When he looked at the deer that was killed, when he told another old man about the war, when he looked at his brother who had not seen each other for ten years, or even just looked at the lawn mower that suddenly turned off.
And his sackcloth shirt and jeans, slowly bending over his legs and getting out of the car to take a walking stick.
taste of time. Yellow spring is flowing.
But everything he did was meaningless. The more eager you are to prove yourself, the more cruelty will appear. The large group of young cyclists whizzed by on the side of the road, and Mr. Straight could only keep his head twisted in the flow of traffic.
Finally, I would like to sigh. The American people are really living Lei Feng, who are very enthusiastic about taking care of the elderly and asking for help. What a warm capitalist family. It is very similar to "Falling Leaves Returning to the Roots", because the story is in China, so Lao Zhao is always surrounded by cheating, beating, smashing and looting.
