Lonely imaging

In the Jamush movie, even the tramp has a cruel, careless and elegant tone of southern slave owners. He likes to take pictures of people driving at night. Although the scene outside the window changes, the characters are in a relatively static state. Under the attack of boredom and tiredness, the characters show the most relaxed and comfortable state, which is also the same as that of Jia Muxu. Passionate jazz has different tunes but equal performance. In the dark night, the characters in the car appear more and more monotonous and numb under the neon lights outside the car, and the prolonged jazz makes this ordinary moment eternal. Jiamuxu's movies make you feel that being company is a kind of luck, and loneliness is a kind of happiness.
