Long-lens, in the film, even a single look back is pulled out for 4 or 5 seconds. The whole drama is narrated, but there is no sloppy plot, and a scene that should be cut is not explained, but every detail of the characters' dialogue is not explained. The movements are completely preserved, and the live recordings retain those real breaths.




Watching this movie is like drinking whisky. At first, it was like seeing a bottle of whisky in the supermarket in an eye-catching package, so you couldn't help but buy it. Next, I opened it with excitement and tasted it. At first, I felt that it was just like that, and I couldn't make it out. But after chewing for a while, I gradually felt a little dry smokey on the tip of my tongue. Afterwards, it was the kind of satisfying joy that became more and more fragrant.

The original intention of watching this film is because of David Lynch's name, presumably his film should not be a bad film. The dignified long shots at the beginning of the film and the straightforward dialogues of the characters made me feel not so attractive. When the film talked about the part of Straight who resisted going to the hospital, I was almost impatient to watch it... When they arrived at the hospital, Rose's two actions of closing the car door made me feel a little interesting. I could see the director's good intentions, as if he wanted to tell us through the details, in fact, this will be a story. film, yet to be discovered.

After coming out of the hospital, the tone of the film became lighter. When Straight shot his lawnmower in a rage, I thought the film became very funny and humorous. After the brisk, there is a poignant picture of a single-person night bonfire, which gives people the feeling of ups and downs and orderly.

The experience along the way is bittersweet, youthful, hysterical, friendly and enthusiastic, recalling emotions, all integrated into the experience along the way, showing a microcosm of a complex and simple social individual, without too much drama. , but in the ordinary, there are all revealed bits and pieces of sigh.



A very ordinary plot, expressed in perfect camera language, the actors' performances, and the music to set off the atmosphere, and then it made a good film, praise.
