This is a romantic, wonderful and sleepy movie

After reading the information, play time is a groundbreaking work. Tati uses unique shots and weakened plots to create a truly "open" movie. But the first time I watched it, I couldn't appreciate it. First, because I was out of the background of the "post-war" era, it was difficult for me to understand Tati's thoughts and thoughts from these obscure shots, and the shots lost their connotations in front of me. The second is the fierce conflict between the characteristics of play time and general viewing habits. There's no denying that it's a very creative and romantic film (lots of jokes with visual errors and a road playground at the end). The first time I watched the film, my first impression was that "the film needs a main line". In play time, the main line is fleeting. At first, the protagonist cannot be found. After finding the protagonist, I don't know what the protagonist is looking for. The hero and heroine are on two parallel lines, but their eventual encounter can be described as unremarkable. Corresponding to the non-existent plot is the unique scene of play time. In play time, I really like to use rich medium and long-term perspectives. Every character in the camera is moving, gentleman, lady, dancing, drinking, flight attendant, cleaning staff. Coupled with the sound of heavy traffic in the background, his attention was lost in the maze.
