Indian Cuisine with the Impatient Nomad Chef

[C] The screening of the #NUA film and television appreciation course was a bit bad. I expected to harvest the growing image, but it turned out to be a hand-cut sticker - the shape was still distorted, and the soundtrack rarely played the exact opposite role, Lodocice Einaudi Instead, the already thin natural narrative vanishes into thin air. (Director Zhao is like an enthusiastic undergraduate student who is very impatient to introduce her favorite music into her works. Her technique is to create a lot of broken shots and dialogues to place the soundtrack)

As a road film, you can't take root in the ground or find the direction, and the characters circulate in this field. The entire image has no secrets, and the broken and messy editing completely blocks the viewer's feelings. The modern, industrial, academic approach is like sending wild ingredients to McDonald's, which isn't really a delicacy, it's just a gimmick in the end. Zhao Ting is really a little too impatient, impatient selection of ingredients, impatient cooking, impatient seasoning and impatient plate setting. It's amazing that this film has won so many awards.

The American-style elite education has gone from contradiction to dizziness. The elites walk into the classroom as if they entered the church, begin to repent, and impatiently cast their vision to the edge with pity, inhaling and excreting like a motor, of course, this excrement must be They cannot be cleaned up by elites. Their tasks are arduous and they have a strong sense of social responsibility. They must go to the next edge immediately! Go for the poetic desert, the corner character. In a sense, these elites are true nomads.

After reading it, the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes. I find that this is not a McDonald's, this is an Indian street food. The ingredients are obviously very normal, but in the end they become gooey, oh, it's still a small serving of gooey.

    Wandering, loneliness, and exile do not lead to happiness, to utopia. Just like the classic proposition in philosophy - does free will really exist? Our lives are not entirely our own choices, but also the result of circumstances and reality. Going into a life of wandering, loneliness and exile has nothing to do with freedom, but you must face it firmly, even if it is pitiful in the eyes of others, even like a clown in fate.

    People who are burdened with pain and exiled from society use "nomadism" as a confrontation between individuals and their destiny. The sentence "I'll see you down the road" is full of too much loneliness, briefly connecting the travellers in a hurry, and witnessing them running on their respective roads without hesitation. The western United States under Zhao Ting's lens has an unspeakable magic.

Nomadland quotes

  • Merle: I worked for corporate America, you know, for 20 years. My friend Bill worked for the same company. And... He had liver failure. A week before he was due to retire, HR called him in hospice and said, you know, let's talk about your retirement. And he died 10 days later, having never been able to take that sailboat that he bought out of his driveway. And he missed out on everything. Then he told me before he died, just don't waste any time, girl. Don't waste any time. So I retired as soon as I could. I didn't want my sailboat to be in the driveway when I died. So... yeah. And it's not. My sailboat is out here in the desert.
