This city needs light

The story takes place more than an hour before midnight. Darkness shrouded the small American town of Middletown. Of course, no sunlight will appear in the story. The night always has a wonderful effect on people. In the superimposed events, this invisible subtle effect is at work silently, coupled with the ingenious arrangement and design of the director and screenwriter, the seemingly jigsaw-like pieces are spliced ​​into a complete story at 11:14 in the night.
There is always an inexplicable charm in the night without light. Some rare and hidden corners of human nature are only looming at this time. I believe that in the daytime when the sun is shining, people and things in the movie will also change their appearance. The accident of accelerated development will not happen.
The structure of the film is very ingenious. Several seemingly unrelated stories and several people who seem to have nothing to do are linked together by accidents that happen one after another. It is the source of all troubles, but with the development of the film's plot, every accident has been fully explained, every story has gradually become complete, and the true colors of the whole incident have gradually surfaced, some facts. So far, it is inevitable that some of our initial impressions are unexpectedly reversed, and just between this positive and negative, a joy and sorrow related to human nature is staged in this city without light.
The rhythm and narrative techniques of the film are very good, and it retains its appeal to the audience from beginning to end. To a certain extent, the audience seems to have become a participant in this dark night drama, not just a bystander. This is also a relatively good low-budget independent film I have seen in recent years. Although it does not have the potential of a box office blockbuster, it is very flattering in overall feeling. If the market positioning is accurate, it will definitely get the corresponding success. From a certain point of view, the shooting and production of such films requires certain skills, and what Chinese films lack at present are such small-scale commercial films, which can not only make profits but also cultivate reserve forces for the film industry. .
The movie starts at 11:14 pm and ends at 11:14 pm. I have never seen the small town where the story happened in the sun, which is not really a pity, I just think about the chaos of all beings in the sun What will it be like below? What will the sun bring them? Is another kind of hiding, or a kind of redemption. In short, a city needs light.
