Story or Narrative--The Nonsense of 2005
Americo 2022-11-04 04:08:40
The middle-aged couple who have no topic, the familiar eyes and tiredness, the young woman who meets by chance, at first glance, it is from Antonioni's lens, a bit dull, or it is a life that I have not yet understood. Soderbergh's story is ironic, but not stinging, it just makes us understand that what is familiar is not necessarily familiar. Wong Kar Wai is still the old Shanghai, the cheongsam, the ambiguity that spreads from trivialities and trivialities. Here, the sound has the effect of narration, and the babbling music pouring out of the gray light and shadow can already explain everything. When the ending song played and blurred human images appeared in the mottled background, what I lingered about was not those stories and those details, but the hands of a certain lady in Shanghai's social circles, a pair of hands that could tell love, pity and gratitude hand. As she said, at that time she had nothing but her hand, but her hand had given him everything, not about love, but about humanity.
