ranking is: Millennium, Inception, Weima, Godfather,
"Millennium Actress" is undoubtedly the favorite of widows.
This film is a perfect integration of individuals, history, the principles of drama, and the film itself.
A narrative masterpiece.
Two favorite resources for directors obsessed with film narrative: memories and dreams. Nolan completed the memory narrative in "Memento", and now completes "Inception" with dreams. Jin Min completed the memory narrative in "Millennium Actress", and then completed the dream narrative of "Dream Detective".
"Dream Detective" compares movies to the collective dreams of human beings, and "Millennium Actress" compares movies to powerful memories that condense personal and collective history. [The "movie" here does not refer to the abstract and talk about "film art", but the concrete "movie medium" that exists in the world one by one.
The action of chasing is very important to Jin Min, and it is the highlight of the climax. Chasing shadows in "Weima", "Millennium Actress" chasing men, "Pirates of Dreams" chasing sth, "The Godfather" chasing suicide.
The personal growth of girls is also a consistent theme of Jin Min.
Finally, end with the last line of "Millennium Actress":
What I really love is the journey of chasing him!
What I love today is the process of making the movie itself.
