Dust to dust, dust to dust

When I was a child, when every family was still watching movies on video cassette tapes, when the movie theater was not called a movie theater or a video hall, my father often liked to rent all kinds of video tapes to watch, most of them were Hong Kong movies, and most of them were zombies. piece. At that time, I didn't know how to be afraid, and my impression was extremely vague. Later, it was time to watch CDs. Every time I watched a zombie movie, I understood fear and fear, so I often saw scary scenes and closed my eyes and hid in my parents' arms. Dad often laughs at me for being stupid, saying that those are fake, but after protesting again and again, the number of times I watch it is still a lot less.

In fact, people are often like this. Many things they know clearly do not exist, are fictional, and are performed by actors, but they can't control their imaginations and frighten themselves. Even today, it still is.

But then again, this movie isn't scary after all. The director pays homage to the long-dead zombie film in a light-hearted way. The gray and cold tones from the beginning to the end are full of deep sadness, there are few terrifying scenes, and the heart is full of loneliness and sadness. This is not the bright sadness of looking up at the sky forty-five degrees, but the sadness that flows relentlessly for life, desire, obsession, and time. The glory days of Hong Kong films seem to be gone forever, and the actors of the genre films that we have been familiar with since childhood have been silent.

The composition of the picture is very beautiful, even if it is dark, it is beautiful, the soundtrack is low and sad, the editing is clean and neat, and the fighting in the cramped space is so detailed. The shot of the long iron rod running through Qian Xiaohao's waist and abdomen is really shocking - from such similar details, you can see the director's full sincerity. I absolutely love details like this, it's an attitude.

The ending is basically divided into two factions, some say the whole film is just an imagining of Qian Xiaohao as a declining actor, and some say it is just his expectation. Although I prefer the latter rationally, emotionally I would rather believe the former.

He said: I left the housing estate at the age of thirteen, and I became a leading actor for the first time at the age of sixteen. . Many people say that the movie world is absurd. It turns out that life is more absurd than movies.

Perhaps it is only after experiencing prosperity that one can truly understand the downfall, and perhaps it is only when there is nothing to lose that one is indifferent. Some things happen, they happen, no matter how much you try to recover or reverse, it is just in vain. Just like Aunt Mei can't keep Uncle Dong's life no matter how unwilling it is, no matter how Ah Jiu wants to escape from death, it's just the same goal. In addition to hurting more people, the ending is still the ending.

Dust returns to dust, soil returns to earth, and prosperity is only a handful of fine sand; the heavens and the heavens, the people above the people, when they bear fruit, their faces are already wrinkled.
