When I watched the movie, I felt that it might be a must-see movie for architecture students today. Everyone is making architectural sculptures with avant-garde shapes, and almost forgot who it was designed for.
In the movie, the same is true for the avant-garde garden, the sloppy garden steps, the curvy garden paths, and the interior furniture with novel shapes but no practicality. In contrast, the uncle's residential area is dilapidated but full of vitality.
Thinking of these, I found that the Gaozan film review has already said it in great detail, so I won't repeat it.
But what is very interesting is the way the film is shot, showing the lifelike scenes of life. There is no strong narrative. For example, in front of the old street cafe, people reading newspapers, people buying coffee, and people talking on the street are all integrated into one shot, and they don't know what to watch for a while.
In other words, you can watch it all. Compared with a narrative with a clear structural framework, this film is more random and rich in scenes, with a slow-paced and relaxed soundtrack, allowing the audience to decide for themselves what to watch. After all, if you really want to tell a story, it may be clear in half an hour.
