In 2002, I was recommended to watch this film by a friend.
I watched this film until November 2010, 8 years. So many things happened. How much have I changed?

At the beginning of the film, it still subverted my habit of watching a lot of films. What disturbed sensitive and nuanced dialogues, like a philosophy or a poem. Especially interspersed with a lot of wonderful music. The rhythm of the whole film is basically relatively slow. When Tang Tang said those words to the camera and read that poem, my emotions gradually warmed up and my blood gradually warmed up.

The scene of jumping from the building at the beginning of the film and the dialogue between jumping off the building and Izzy at the end of the film and jumping off the building, and the heroine finally sitting on the window sill looking at the photos, the camera zooms out, the perspective of the million-dollar hotel and the high-rise buildings in the city, such pictures are meaningful and intriguing.

From the film, I have understood some codes, some codes of friends around me, some codes of relationships between people, codes of urban social class, and some beautiful interpretations.
Zixia once said in Journey to the West: My hero came by the colorful clouds. It means she needs a hero in her mind. And some people need a feeling in their hearts. It is best to have a completely tragic end, so that she can be moved and happy for a lifetime. Such emotions are distorted and perverted, but they are real.
Also there are always a lot of people planning this and that, the heroine says they are going to a place where fish come in through the door and go out the window.
The actor's understanding of these words is that these plans are beautiful, but she will not realize them. The same is true in real life, some friends are always planning something, just enjoying the pleasure of language.

Because in addition to being moved by watching this film, after a few years I have watched countless literary films, and after reading countless touching books, I feel that this kind of film will at least make some emotional (different sensibility, with Neurotic) people are deeply confused and influenced, poisoned to the point of affecting people's life.

So the power of this film is still very powerful, and friends who don't understand it have not understood those passwords.
