Love Lao Luo
Kadin 2022-03-24 09:03:05
Compared with "Sparrow", the angle of the sparrow is relatively high. Although it is also an inconspicuous life scene, there are many metaphors and it looks very enjoyable. As for "Lou", it is slightly inferior in terms of theme, and it is generally social contradictions, human beliefs, and the like. But Lao Luo will always send out some jelly beans, sit still and love, that is, you stick to something, or you don't go with the flow, the disaster will always pass, and the faith will return. The whole film lasted for 4 years and consisted of 46 long-range shots. It has a great sense of picture, and it looks like each one is a stage play. It can be called its signature technique, which is really wonderful. The swaying statue of Jesus, the salesman who cheated the insurance, the magician who accidentally broke the audience, the girl who was pushed off the cliff by the crowd, etc., are quite intriguing.

Another person who engages in contemporary art, but not as sensual as Cai Mingliang and Abbas, and the interface is not friendly enough; there are two people with OCD in this world, and they are both called Anderson; there are indifferent spectators in every scene; Nordic artists don’t seem to live on the same planet as us, and feel like they are decades ahead; the still camera, the scheduling is all in the mirror, and there are several scenes that are not small in scale

Absurd drama. The scene is like a stage play, very dark. Ugly and sad as a human being.

Songs from the Second Floor quotes
-
Kalle: What can I say? It's not easy being human.
-
The speechwriter: My approach was a rather philosophical one. About being human year after year. This is how I see it. Life is time, and time is a stretch of road. That makes life a journey, a trip. Don't you think so?
Stefan: Yes. I guess you could look at it that way.
The speechwriter: Yet in order to travel you need a map and a compass. Otherwise you wouldn't know where you were. Would you?
Stefan: No.
The speechwriter: And our map and compass are our traditions. Our heritage, our history. Aren't they?
Stefan: Yeah, sure.
The speechwriter: If we don't understand this... Before we know it, we're fumbling around in the dark. Where are we?
