Half of my love for Greece comes from Angel. Angel extended his love of Greece to the Balkans. It's another road movie, and it's An Zhe's signature long shot, a symbolic man-made spectacle. Ulysses's gaze clues are three reels of film connecting the historical misery of Greeks and natives in Greece, Albania, Yugoslavia, and more. The thread of the story is the film shooter, the story of the owner of the film, the people who kept the film and developed it. Interspersed to find the film storyteller's own story. The passage from Bucharest North Station, 10 minutes at my grandfather's house and spanning three New Year's scenes in 1945, 1948 and 1950, is the most classic long shot in the whole play. The 1988 foggy landscape has 100 seconds of the famous scene of Greece's century-old history, and Ulysses' gaze is reinterpreted in an extended version. In Wolfgang Beck's Goodbye Lenin in 2003, the head of Lenin in the sky above Berlin was copied from the gaze of Ulysses of Angel in 1995. Marble statues were dismembered, laid flat and left at the mercy of others. Ulysses is a hero in Greek mythology, and the story of his triumph is the backbone of the epic Odyssey. Ulysses is synonymous with heroes who are wandering, breaking through, and returning home. The story of finding a lost overseas film and bringing it back to Greece combined with the myth of Ulysses is perfect. Red flags or black flags, rivers, fog, wandering, sculptures left behind through history, dazzling changes in time and space scenes, plus nice Greek folk songs. The movie world constructed by An Zhe is fascinating. Great Angel.
