The fork in the drift is another escape

Jamusch’s movies have always been prestigious. At the beginning, Tom Weitz’s husky drunk music overflowed, and the lyrics told ridiculous stories. They sang the decadent town in the movie, the hazy sky, and the uninteresting. people. Next is a set of classic long shots of Jia Muxu, looking from left to right, and then pushing forward. There are only two or three wandering pedestrians on the street. The police are arresting the prisoners, the children are playing baseball, and the gangsters are whispering. Ordinary people in Dirty Silent City are gradually forgotten on the street corner and no longer appear. They all have stories, so I picked three out: the pimp who can fall asleep at any time, the unemployed DJ who is obsessed with pointed leather shoes, and the out-of-town traveller with poor English.

Jia Muxu is a genius who tells stories, and at the same time, his identity as a poet allows him to use the spirituality of a thinker to focus on the shortcomings of society. The perspective of the third party spreads. There is no cold and heat, and no storm. When you unknowingly intersect yourself, your heart can't stop the undercurrent-it is this almost cold realism that makes the black and white film steep and vivid Glorious: There will be miraculous plots in a dull life. Movies are a means. No matter how noble or humble, they show people's most naked nature without any emotion. It is other people's business to praise and criticize beauty and evil, and to dehumanize humanity. I am just a gallery, and I will show the truth. Humanity is shown to you.

"The United States is a big pot. When it boils, all the dregs will come up." After the black prostitute said this, Jack the pimp and third-rate DJ Zach were framed by the police and went to jail. I went to the same cell, but I didn't know each other without fighting, and became friends with a swollen nose and a swollen nose. Roberto Benigni, who took the actor home with "Life Is Beautiful", played an Italian who traveled to the United States in the movie-Bob, like the little character full of joy in Stephen Chow's movie, looks weird and warm-hearted. Guaner's English, dull and kind, give birth to cuteness. After Jack and Zach, they were also stuffed in abruptly. But he was not wronged, he killed someone. With a billiard ball, the opponent was hit and struck, and he died like this. So the three marginalized people gathered together, and the little prince saw the sheep in the three-hole small box, "Jack and Zach, my friends." Bob drew a window for them on the prison wall.

Then Bob escaped from prison with Jack and Zac.

On the way to escape from prison, the three major elements in the Jamusch movie are presented one by one, including the boating in the swamp, the unmanned road, and the ferocious tree. Bob can't swim. Jack and Zach rescued him after dropping him. After all the hardships, they managed to escape to a dilapidated wooden house, where the furnishings were exactly the same as those in the prison. Zach glanced at it and said lightly: "It's better to play cards and fights in prison." The real "displaced road, hungry looking at each other", they looked hungry. After that, Bob chased a hare in the field to make dinner for everyone for half an hour. While roasting the rabbit, he talked to himself about his family and how his mother broke the rabbit's neck. There was a long silence, and he

sat on the ground and said, "But I have a dream." Existence was turned into nothingness.

Many people subconsciously think that the sense of existence is meaningless, unconscious, and dreams of a lifetime, as if they were three of them. Some of them have discovered the "supreme meaning" through social beliefs, but they can't satisfy people's hearts. For example, when a "pig" discovers that his "supreme meaning" is being slaughtered as food, this "meaning" is absurd. . If it is to create meaning for oneself to live itself, although it is not supreme, it is a slight dawn in the trek.

In the end, Bob decided to stay with the kind-hearted Italian widow, who was traveling all the way. In the morning, he held her and danced to the music Manman. Jack and Zac continued on the road. They exchanged clothes, not reluctant, and set off on two roads in opposite directions, with a long shot, until their backs were blurred.

Did they escape? The movie stopped abruptly.

Something in the past has been mutated now; some things now will be gone in the future.

There is no ending, only chains and magic, and the story of the little man never ends.

The flow of birth and death cannot be stopped in an instant.
