In my impression, Hou Hsiao-hsien, in addition to being related to Zhu Tianwen's script, is an old man with bare feet, sitting on the floor with his legs crossed. If you don't tell me he's a great director, I think he's just a Japanese old man basking in the sun with his eyes closed.
Interestingly, the girl in the movie is called Song Fang. On Yongjia Road, there is a shop with the same name, which is located at the exit of the alley, and looks like a two-story building. Every time I walked by, I couldn't help but madly shouted, "Hey, Song Fang~~~ My colleague laughed and said it was a symbol of nervousness. Nerves are just nerves, it's good that such a small game can make people enjoy it.
That Song Fang sells second-hand goods from China, which are piled up in the store, which is a bit strange. It seems that Hou Hsiao-hsien is not suitable for directing foreign films.
