The artist is a nostalgic ghost

I watched A Ghost Story at Landmark Sunshine today and then had a Q&A with the director of the film David Lowery. When I first watched the feature film, I felt at a loss, and then some words from the director gave me new inspiration. He probably said that when he wrote the script, he wrote the idea in his brain into a story, so the whole creation is a very smooth process. If you stop yourself to deliberately create an effect, it will make the movie look very "fake". This is exactly in line with the meaning of a line in the movie: in the face of the torrent of time, any work of art is limited, fragile, and insignificant, so art creation should be an ordinary process like eating, not making "Great", but to seize that moment. The meaning of art works is that when the world is destroyed, that sincere or video, recording, text, etc. can become a continuation of human nature. This is an extremely personal film, a monologue of an artist who is faithful to himself.

    I really want @米粉, because I feel the same, I have been thinking that it can be made into a short film within half an hour, and I want to make a feature film for Mao. But after the vicissitudes of life and the passage of time, I feel that the idea of ​​the film is different in an instant, and the grandness of "The Tree of Life" was actually shot. However, the backside of all this is just two words: affection. Since it is affectionate, it must be read with the sentence of death, and waiting has meaning.

    Finally figured out what it's like to play tricks - pointless long takes, deep ghosts, plain preaching, turnstiles, lightning bolts, smashing plates - a waste of time
