The first attraction of "Earth Night" is its unique narrative angle and structure: it tells the story of a taxi that takes place in five different locations at the same time. "A driver never takes the same person twice", under the darkness, the next journey is always full of unknowns and expectations.
Different from other films, this film starts with the opening song, and takes us into the fairy tale world-Earth with a mysterious and story-rich music (Good Old World-Tom Waits). The repeated soundtrack at the beginning and end of each story makes the structure of the five fairy tales clearer.
Art films or literary films need to be viewed with a processist attitude, rather than focusing on the results; sometimes its story is very simple or very fragmented, it is impossible and unnecessary to sort out its context, the important thing is the details .
A tomboy who never leaves his hand, pure and firm; an enthusiastic and optimistic brother, who always seems to be quarreling when talking with his girlfriend (?); a blind girl who takes a taxi alone on the street at 4:00 in the morning, she will feel the color of the people around her, Going to the movies too; three good buddies get drunk and support each other like building blocks, because one of them has just lost his job...and there are many characters who appear, they are all ordinary, and they are all living their own lives at the moment life, and meet all kinds of people; all beauty and art come from life, and life is live, present tense.
