First: Clip

The male protagonist's childhood memories and chalk drawings of the spiritual world, as well as Mei Li's photography moments, plus the main story line and other broken and poetic pictures are combined together to edit without skipping the scene at all.

Second: Photography

The feeling of restlessness and powerlessness is the keynote of the photography style in the film. Hand-held, film, zoom, documentary lens, I glanced at the director's profile and said that he is the best at documentaries. Sure enough, European and American directors are still different from Japanese directors. there's a clear difference

Third: Themes

A poetic film can easily be made into a self-aware student’s homework detachment. For most of us, it seems to be the spiritual consolation of our existence in this world. Only people who are lonely and miserable can understand it because they don’t want to be depressed Penetrates into our minds Even if we know that some words are false, we still choose to believe them, and then we understand the saying that we were born to be human. I am sorry for how distressed this sentence is. This disgusting sentence that has been said all over the circle of friends is true. Those who understand will understand, but those who really understand will not say, they know that they exist in this human world and feel that they are bound by the body and can't do anything. They know that the soul and thoughts have traveled throughout the universe but are trapped in this small space. I don't want to be sad, I don't think about it, I don't talk about it, but it's still there. That's why the male protagonist wrote three words on the blackboard: penetration, omnipresence, and belief in contradictions.

Detachment quotes

  • Henry Barthes: How are you to imagine anything if the images are always provided for you?

    Henry Barthes: Doublethink. To deliberately believe in lies, while knowing they're false.

    Henry Barthes: Examples of this in everyday life: "Oh, I need to be pretty to be happy. I need surgery to be pretty. I need to be thin, famous, fashionable." Our young men today are being told that women are whores, bitches, things to be screwed, beaten, shit on, and shamed. This is a marketing holocaust. Twenty-four hours a day for the rest of our lives, the powers that be are hard at work dumbing us to death.

    Henry Barthes: So to defend ourselves, and fight against assimilating this dullness into our thought processes, we must learn to read. To stimulate our own imagination, to cultivate our own consciousness, our own belief systems. We all need skills to defend, to preserve our own minds.

  • Henry Barthes: [agitated at assisted living nurse] Let me be very clear here, you stop neglecting his needs, or I will start fucking with yours! I will have you fired! Then it's going to be your family! Your children are gonna be at risk! You got it?
