It looks disgusting!

Originally, I had no interest in literary films, and I even suspected that it was just a fuss. At least Wong Kar-wai's films feel this way. The content is empty, incomprehensible, and has no connotation at all, but it has to pretend to be profound. Maybe people think that literary films have to be shot like this, that they have to pretend to be deep and people can't understand them, but you can understand that it is still a literary film! Especially when Sun Haiying bombarded Feng Xiaogang recently, he even mentioned literary films, which made me even more contempt and rebellion against literary films. A person who doesn't understand modern civilization and often talks about morality can even take literary films. Say something! This makes my understanding of literary films as "but that's all" even more relieved! But Sun also said that there are no literary films in China. After all, Chinese literary films cannot represent real literary films, so I chose Kieslowski's works first.

First of all, I think this movie is a bit immoral. First of all, it focuses on portraying the taxi driver as a person with bad character. Of course, there is also a good side, such as giving way to children. This is actually intended to reduce the audience's sympathy for his killing, and also reduce the degree of hatred for the young murderer, so as to bring up a topic about the death penalty that shouldn't be too controversial. If the victim is portrayed as a hard-working, family-friendly husband and father, it will reduce the level of controversy. In addition, the unfortunate experience of the murderer's sister is undoubtedly adding sympathy to the murderer. And I think that we should put aside the characters and backgrounds of the two to discuss such topics, and not let the feelings of confusion and deception be easily affected. The film itself has subjective intentions, and it tries to win the audience's sympathy with it, to look at the laws of the world from a detached perspective, but the laws must belong to people, not God.

If the blindly murdered person is a relative of lawyer Bit, and Bit can still think deeply about the mistakes of the law, I will obey him! If all things can be pushed to the reason that "the unintentional interlacing of the facts behind people and the trajectory of life led to the tragedy", then no one should be killed or killed! Because fatalism has already determined a person's future behavior, there is no need to discuss whether it should be or not, because everything has no choice, but this is not the case.

I don't mean to belittle the humanistic ideas shown in literary films, but I think that many commercial films also endow them with connotations, but my thinking is immature.
