Just like Keigo Higashino wrote "Walk in the White Night" and then wrote "Magic Night", Bi Gan finished "Roadside Picnic" and made this "Last Night on Earth".
Maybe the original work, with some regrets of the director or writer, has become an obsession that cannot be let go after becoming famous.
Huang Jue and Tang Wei are already middle and high-level partners in literary films, but Ms. Tang Wei doesn't have much brilliance in the film, except for the role of Kaizhen at the end of the film, who is both WTO and innocent, and may be like herself.
The story I understand is about the male protagonist and his mother, and Wan Qiwen is also his mother, like her mother's past, what he pursues is his mother's shadow, which is the reason why she left.
It seems that the white cat is also in the past of the hero. He appeared on the train where the hero and heroine met for the first time, in front of the camera that ate the whole apple down, and then appeared in the hero's dream - the twelve-year-old, and Wan Qiwen The boy who lied to be knocked out was the same size as the boy who loved to play table tennis. He called him White Cat.
Anyway, the director said, no matter how you understand it, it is correct.
In the whole film, one of the scenes that impressed me the most is that the male protagonist installed a light bulb on a simple chandelier in a room that was leaking like rain. The rain hit the outer edge of the chandelier, splashing a thin layer of water mist, and at that moment, the light came on.
