One hour of 3D long shots, it's really amazing!
Some audience members scattered in the middle of watching the film, but those who stayed, burst into applause... I can tell whether the applause is true or false and believe me! With a tear on Mom's face, I'm enjoying the palm of his hand for so long!
As he himself said, if Jia Zhangke invented the train, he really made the plane!
Some viewers feel that the story is very weak after reading it and cannot understand it. I want to say, which textbook says that a movie must have a traditional narrative? When Zhang Yimou led Yinxiong at the Berlin Film Festival, he said that he made "My Father and Mother" into prose, so why can't Bi Gan make the film into poetry?
Film, as the most mainstream expression medium for contemporary human beings, can have a richer appearance and should be eclectic. Therefore, I am very excited about this huge formal innovation given by Bi Gan.
At the same time, the poetry created and outlined throughout the film, as well as the reflections on time and space, memories and dreams, and the subconscious, make people feel meaningful...although like poetry, it cannot be described in detail. So, this is not a movie with only form and empty content. In terms of form and content, this film has some deep exploration.
