The second time I watched "Reincarnation", I had a deeper feeling than the first time.
Many of the shots are aerial shots, as if following the director to look down on the earth we live in from "God's point of view". The shots pass through the virgin forest and the modern bustling city, and the people in the city are represented by the acceleration lens, small and busy, in a hurry. Many people in China are busy without even knowing why, and their hearts are filled with confusion and desire. Therefore, people seek comfort and answers in various religious beliefs. The camera switches to African primitive tribes. In a close-up manner, the tribesmen stare at the camera, as if they are a silent torture of our urbanites. Humans were only a small group in Africa at first. In the film, the director uses a lot of contrasting techniques, the contrast between nature and the city, the contrast between the slums and the rich, the contrast between humans and animals, the contrast between war and peace, the contrast between life and death, which strongly impact our existing Concept, and finally the camera switched to an exquisite sand painting in Tibet. When people were amazed at its beauty, the lamas erased the painting without hesitation and mixed it into a pile of colored sand. All prosperity and delicacy returned to silence. , as if to tell us that this is reincarnation, all things are like meteors, fireworks, and short-lived flowers, which have existed and are lost. People are too arrogant, but in fact they are as small as dust. What is the real meaning of life? The problem is left to ourselves. In the face of anyone and everything, be more compassionate.

    Ant-like workers on the assembly line, pistol-shaped coffins, pigs, chickens, cows, and people on the production line are interspersed with breathtakingly beautiful natural landscapes, and silent facial portraits, spanning race, religion, war, sex, industry, There is no narration or dialogue on many grand themes such as nature. In the end, the Tibetan monk erased the complicated and delicate mandala and turned it into dust. After reading it, the taste is complicated, I cannot comment on this work in words
