failure is piecing together

The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, Chief Jia's personal spiritual world is just carnival. The time and space frame is quite large, but unfortunately it is full of story fragments that are pieced together and have nothing to do with each other, like an incomplete dream in one night, bizarre and messy. It can only be said that it is a summary of the editing of my previous films. What Datong, Fengjie, Xinjiang and three places are rolling for thousands of miles, what eighteen years have passed and the times have changed, which is related to the rivers and lakes. It is too sad that a person can't get out of his own world. Anything he does solemnly is a joke in the eyes of others. If you close yourself, even if you travel all over the world and see alien civilizations, what's the use of seeing alien civilizations. As Xu Zheng said in the film, they are just prisoners of the universe. Let go of yourself, a small mahjong room feels vast and boundless. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes are in everyone's body. There are not only rivers and lakes in the body, but also mountains and bamboo boats. The human body is a small universe, containing all things, such as mustard seeds of Sumeru, a small river and lake is naturally no problem. Maybe that's what the movie is all about. It's a pity that the filming was too unsuccessful, the character design was too thin, and the scene was too tearing to support such a big scene.

    #Cannes71# Thought it was a sequel to "Ren Xiaoyao", but who knew it was a retrospective exhibition of Jia Zhangke's works... Jia Zhangke's pioneering work in the universe hahahaha.

    The defects of Jia Zhangke's conceptual creation remain unchanged, and the capacity of the micro-film has become a feature-length film. The setting of Jianghu will be tenable at the beginning because of its fierce violence. After Qiaoqiao’s release from prison, the plot has been loosened all the way, and it is becoming more and more uncommentable. A few celebrity guest appearances are too casual, if it is to strengthen Qiaoqiao Jianghu's ability to cope, it is simply ridiculous. The worst comment is the clumsy use of popular songs. A few saliva songs completely flatten emotions and become commonplace.
