City and Loneliness in Wenders' Eyes

The way the film feels: The black and white long shot moves to a medium and close shot, with a sad string music. After singing, put away the photo, leave, the first full paragraph. ) The first shot I was fascinated by appeared, there were houses, palm trees, women walking, vehicles along the street and stopped by the sea. Swapping the advancing sleep shots and images, taking pictures of sleeping people and TVs that are still on, can express loneliness because no one turns off the TV for him. After waiting for a while, the soundtrack at the beginning sounded again. When it comes to the camera, immediately cut to the close-up. Countless means of transportation (airplane, train, car), infinite scenery. "But the article is about what you see - signs and symbols" "I'm not dissatisfied, but what does he want" The opening soundtrack becomes an emotional soundtrack, as if the soundtrack plays whenever the protagonist has a certain emotion. It's a kind of synaesthesia, but the role cognition has been fixed and the information is conveyed by sound. "When you lose your sense of self, you lose touch with the world." "You keep taking pictures just to prove that you're constantly observing something." "I don't know how to live, and no one teaches me." The intersection of the city is like an open space in the city" This is a good foreshadowing. After being kicked out, let him live with them and let him live with the flow, after being rejected once, taking the initiative to stay has changed to taking the initiative to leave. Traumatic stress should be "I can't have sex with you, but I don't mind splitting the bed with you" q "No calming picture, they all want something from you" Isn't that what today's movies are moving under a telescope? dove

The last aerial shot of the train is even worse than "Red Circle".

    There is so much magic in this piece: a static composition like the simplest picture, with the camera set aside like a silent invisible entourage. However, the charm of the overall glow is dozens of times that of the appearance, and it seems to be an emotional carrier that flows and transforms between different sports modes. I don't know how to do it. The best of Wenders' films, far surpassing the somewhat exhausting works of his post-80s

    Excellent. Love road movies. I like that feeling of life. Maybe because I can never do it myself. Our lives are so tedious, so tired, and need so much, how can we be free and easy? ...
