little idea

The whole film needs to get rid of the inner confusion in order to slowly enter the author's context, and to appreciate the beauty of the language in the letter read by a steady female voice. From the perspective of the film alone, it looks quite confusing. Just when I sorted it out, I probably wanted to objectively spy on the changes in the spiritual world of the Japanese people after the war from the activities of various groups of religions or cultural rituals in Japan. Cut together to interrupt this objective narrative and become private and personal. But there are some interesting clips that are impressive; for example, the sleepy lines on the tram are combined with some sexual video clips, accompanied by slightly harsh electronic sounds to create the feeling of floating dreams; The scene of a dog running freely by the sea gives the whole film a relatively warm ending. Maybe it's the reason why I lack the depth and breadth of watching movies. There are a lot of things I don't understand. Why did the author adjust the image to a negative-like effect? Why is the overall sound covered with a layer of electronic sound, giving people a dreamy and unreal feeling to the image? Although the whole process is full of question marks, there is a sense of surprise that the original documentary can still be shot like this.

Sans Soleil quotes

  • Narrator: I went back to Narita for the birthday of one of the victims of the struggle. The demo was unreal. I had the impression of acting in "Brigadoon." Of waking up 10 years later in the midst of the same players, with the same blue lobsters of police, with the same helmeted adolescents, the same banners, and the same slogan, "Down with the Airport." Only one thing has been added: the airport, precisely.

  • Narrator: If the images of the present don't change, then change the images of the past.
