This is a follow-up to "What's at the End of the Fog", which is what I felt after watching it carefully, and felt that it was necessary to make it into a separate article. The title was set as "Landscape in the Fog", because I did write a few paragraphs of the film in detail. . It's a road scene.

The snowfall at the station was a bit surreal! And the woman's repeated words. It's really interesting to understand.

The adult world in the eyes of children.

The part of getting along with the dying horse in the snow was a bit like a confrontation between a child and an adult world. When I took a closer look, I found more and more problems! This film was made so carefully. There are even traces of over-cutting. However, what seemed to be explained in this way came to the fore.

[41 minutes] The little boy went to the store to beg for food, and the conclusion was that he had to rely on labor; an adult beggar came in, and it was concluded that he was relying on his music. This is a very dramatic scene. Then what is the result. The male shop owner entered the camera at this time and drove away the adult beggars, while the little boy here gave his applause like a gentleman.
How different, this is the world of children and adults. Very interesting paragraph



Final conclusion:

Read it again: Xun's father, this character does not exist. It just symbolizes the ideal (dream) in the child's mind. Therefore, in fact, the whole film can be understood in this way. This is a dream-seeking film. How to understand the movie title. "Landscape in the fog", "fog" leads to the hazy consciousness that we have not seen the truth, but what is "landscape"? It is the truth of reality that the protagonist gradually realizes. The word "landscape" is a bit of a beautification, but it's just a neutral word. There's even a hint of cruel irony here. This film is very symbolic. (Aerial image of a hand hoisted by a plane, tree at the end of the film)
