unhappy nostalgia

Jarmusch is an American with European literary and artistic feelings.
The plot of this vampire filmed by Ya can basically be called no plot, but it is surprisingly consistent with the central idea of ​​a dream about vampires I had. It's not about the love in it, the love in this story isn't my focus - maybe my focus is just skewed, well, this is obviously a story with love as its title. The whole time I watched them lead such a cold, silent and boring life that even the most sophisticated art, literature, science, whatever... couldn't save them.
It's a little funny and a little weird and cute, and I don't find it annoying, and it doesn't even reveal despair. I like this kind of cold unhappy that isn't too rambunctious. This is not a story of roaring disdain and anger, and this is not a story of pursuing "shallow novelty" - not that novelty must be shallow, but novelty (I think) there is a type of novelty that can be called shallow - , is not a rebellious story. If I have to say it, it is probably that, like some movies made by European directors, it sees the bad of this life and feels a little unhappy, but because it is a little cautious He is nostalgic and does not want to curse loudly, so he chooses a lazy and a bit alienated way to express his unhappiness.
So I kind of like it.

    So romantic, I also thought of Midnight in Paris =V=Long Live the Feelings Two years earlier, I must have five stars, although I didn't expect the whole film to maintain the rhythm of the "introduction" nature of the title, as expected by Jiamusu orz after watching it I'm a little closer to death in this movie.

    Trembling is very beautiful, and the music is quite special. The force is a bit high, and the book bag is a bit obvious. The atmosphere came out, but it didn't make people mesmerized.
