1, 9 points, the top ten Chinese of the year. I feel that I am an objective and rational audience, and I don't focus on any other factors. I have to say something about the film itself and my personal opinions.

2. "Tian Destiny" is a contrived and failed news splicing video, but "Mountains and Rivers" is a real and moving replica of life. The film consists of three parts. The first part is the idol drama of Mary Su's domineering president in the coat of the urban-rural junction at the end of the last century. The second part is a middle-aged and developed family drama in which the son returns to his hometown after the second marriage. The third part is the epitome of postmodern nostalgia atypical people. I don't know what it means by (post-)modern nostalgia. It was taught to us by the framed female votes. I think it is very suitable to be used here, if you understand it literally.

3. If Liao Fan's solo dance in "Fireworks in the Daytime" can win the Berlin Best Actor, then the disco and Zhao Tao's solo dance in the snow in "Mountains and Rivers" can also win Jia Zhangke the best director.

4. The heroine Zhao Tao is a lone woman who is naturally free and easy to pamper and humiliate. Great, just what I want to be. The second female Zhang Aijia, how to cultivate so that she can still be so elegant and calm at the age of 62, and her acting skills are so good that the audience thinks that she and the 22-year-old boy are real lovers who are together because of love, without any grudges. Perfection is what I want to be and certainly can't be.

5. I have always disliked Zhang Yi as an actor from the small screen. He is not good-looking and has a stingy face. This time, he will not. His lines are too good, half the success. Several other leading actors are also very good, and it can be seen that they are strictly self-required and directed by the director. Good lines will make the performance natural, especially this kind of life film.

6, Cantonese is the world, Cantonese is eternal. The core soundtrack "Precious" in the film must be a single loop.
