When I'm in a good mood, I can't watch Cai Mingliang, so I always stubbornly think that Cai Mingliang's movies belong to the early morning, and belong to the corners that are forgotten by the sleeping people. Take a look. Aunt Zhang Ailing once wrote that life is a gorgeous robe covered with lice. What Cai Mingliang did was to shake the gorgeous robe, and the ground was covered with lice. , the viewer is itching.
Movies have never been limited to the inside of the painting, but also include the extension of the space outside the painting. Although there are quite a few criticisms about the first film festival, I was touched by the founder's words at the opening ceremony. In my heart, this may explain the "girls in my life" that appeared in my sleep after closing the computer yesterday. They seem to be resurrected from memory, what time did you give them new life
The story begins with Xiaokang's father's one-man show. I accidentally learned the behind-the-scenes story of this scene. Teacher Miao Tian, who filmed this scene, was already preparing for surgery. Director Cai Mingliang felt that this might be the last scene in his life, so he was reluctant to shout. stop. The next thing started with a watch. The woman who was going to Paris took a fancy to the watch in Xiaokang's hand that could be adjusted to two times. Xiaokang had to sell it to her. Xiaokang's mother had just lost her husband, as if With an obsession, looking for the traces of her husband's "coming back", he stared at the suspended clock alone and asked if he had come back. Maybe it was because of being lonely for too long or because of emotional needs, Xiaokang fell in love with buying him. The woman of the watch, when passing by each watch, adjusts them to the time of Paris, and also goes to the booth that sells video tapes and asks the boss if there is a film about Paris. The director here is considered to have made a film about his favorite director. Salute, after all, even the English name is bluntly called 7 to 400 blows, Xiaokang watched the 400 blows over and over again, and Xiaokang's mother was also looking for her husband's traces over and over again in the familiar things at home, far away A strange woman in Paris is lost in a city full of romance with a language barrier. Everyone is obsessed, and everyone is equally lonely
Many people say that "What Time Are You Over there" is the most tolerant film of director Tsai Ming-liang for his fans, because it is a "symbolized" film made up of symbols. clock, and enjoy the same noise in different cities. This is also the best movie in all of his works to find the emotional and plot entrance. Basically, more than half of you can guess the next development, but his skills are too superb, so you would rather indulge in his use of symbols to maximize loneliness. in the image. So when the movie was halfway through, I had a premonition that Cai Mingliang would find an emotional outlet for the characters in his images, so a woman in Paris met a woman who also spoke Chinese, whether it was out of love or emotional sustenance, She kissed her. Xiaokang's mother changed into the cheongsam that she wore in the bridal room, Huazhuye, and hugged her deceased husband's pillow for comfort, or it was another strange woman who was lying on the seat of the car waiting for Xiaokang. All of these can be predicted very smoothly. What I didn't expect is that Cai Mingliang thinks that the lice that are shaking on the ground are not clear enough, and he has to take you with a magnifying glass to see their tentacles clearly before he is willing to give up. The woman who spoke the same language was indifferent the next morning, and the street girl who spent a happy night with Xiaokang stole Xiaokang's only valuable suitcase at dawn the next day, and she was still masturbating with a pillow. The mother fell into a deep sleep, all of which allowed the viewer to enjoy Cai Mingliang's injury.
I watched the downloaded version, the sound processing was rough, and there were some deliberate plots that made the protagonist feel the noise, which also made me lower the volume unconsciously. Occasionally, in this early work of his, amazing composition and scheduling can be seen in the future, but I still have to admit that this is the best Cai Mingliang in my heart.
When the subtitles of the film appear, the viewers may not be able to find an emotional outlet like the characters in it, just like me, but isn't this life, we are always stuck in one predicament after another, and then go to another place. They are looking for a way out, but what Cai Mingliang does is to put their helplessness, loneliness and boredom in front of them at the same time. Some people say that his pace is slow, but isn't this just life? What time is it on my side, what time is it on your side?
