As a person, I don't read much, and I don't have much reading and experience. I often feel trembling when I want to say something. I naively want to be a blank sheet of paper all my life. I don't know if the things I feel are rich in blank sheets.
I love the scale of the movie. If you take a step further, it will be too sensational, and if you take a step back, it will be boring. Boiled a pot of boiled water, then scooped two spoons of sugar, and quietly added a little honey for fear that you might taste honey. I'm used to all kinds of dramatic conflicts, so it's interesting to see the tension in this glass of boiling water. It's not easy to keep the tension there.
I quite like the tenderness of the movie. A barren and romantic world is built under the background of reality. This tenderness should be very deliberately preserved by the creator. With my prejudice, I thought that such a living state should be due to seeing some disgusting people and things, but the embarrassment of the protagonist is always material, and even the trough of material embarrassment is not a desperate situation. Did the car break down and borrow money? no. And the human relationship is always warm, and the various people I meet on the road are also warm. Poor but not barren, barren but not cool; bitter mint, bitter, but not unpleasant after all. I am a person who is very afraid of making mistakes, so the way the film tries to avoid criticism of reality is related to my temperament. Try not to be critical, just observe, grab, and build. It can't be wrong. It is the contradiction of expressing oneself vs reaching a consensus.
A moment: The protagonist walks to a deserted western town in white pajamas. At that moment I was thinking about the world of Red Dead Redemption 2. Those distant fictional worlds can catch some shadows in reality. Just... pretty nice.
One nitpick: The scene where the protagonist is tough on Real Estate's rhetoric is a bit steep for me. It's like a bridge section added to throw this idea. She doesn't seem like someone who is rebelling against this idea. She is a quiet person. It might be a little smoother to lay a little conflict in front of the sudden steepness.
Some of the movies I just watched for a few hours were a little bit unable to get out, and I didn’t want to get out. I was afraid of losing that feeling. But after two days, it was still lost. This one is one of them.
