Writer and Hometown

Intellectually, it is hard to say that a writer must be any different from his hometown.

Behaviorally, it could be the same. Maybe it's just that their ways are different. The natives have their vulgar "policies" and guns, and the writer has his powerful microphone and pen.

For example, Mo Yan, I don't think he is any different from his hometown. Including that rustic cunning. To be honest, his award is more like a technical achievement, or even an unexpected result of technology, which has no meaning from a linguistic point of view.

In fact, it's hard to say which is more profound or noble, football or words.

At the end of the film, the writer still wears the wild flowers of his hometown on his chest, and the summer sunshine of his hometown will be projected in his life as always.

But I have to admit that the writer in the film is humble, elegant and a little deeper than his hometown.

Sometimes the expression determines the thought, and what looks like a thought is only the expression. Perhaps, it is because the protagonist has the ability to express profoundly.

In any case, the progress of civilization has a formal side.

The actor played a great role, and he deserved the award as the best actor in Cannes.

    4.5 This dark humorous story is not so much about artistic creation as a sharp satire of Argentina’s contemporary narrow-mindedness and complacence, the only country that has changed from a developed country to a developing country, but the Argentines are still self-reliant, eager to escape, but always hold high morality. Banners kidnap themselves, reject progress and civilization, directors create movies and writers write novels, which are behaviors beyond reality, but alluding to reality

    Another marriage of literature and film, tells the story of "the young and the old leave home and the bosses come back, and the people come back from the poor" in the form of chapters. A large number of satires in the middle section come without warning. The contradiction has already intensified to the apex from the beginning of the project, so the sound of gunfire in the ending is not surprising. It would be very interesting to look at this film against "Chasing Neruda", the world's attitude towards literati has never changed.
