Hou Hsiao-hsien's "Sorrowful City" shows the mental journey of the displaced Taiwanese in a specific period with a soothing and tragic tone, desolate and magnificent bearing. The director mapped the events of "2·28" after Taiwan's recovery on the screen, and re-presented this chaotic historical...

I had seen Hou Hsiao-hsien's semi-autobiographical debut "Childhood Memories" before, and I didn't like to see Hou Director at that time. The video style of learning from Ozu was somewhat similar, but Ozu's capture of the taste of life was in the kind of "Childhood Memories". The pretentious...

Fortunately, some time ago, I just read the politics and history of Taiwan, so I have some understanding of the origin and death of "sadness". However, aside from these, in my eyes, it is very similar to Yu Hua's "Alive". When he was under Japanese occupation, he had a big family but refused to...

I admit that when I first watched it, I couldn't stand it. It took two days to read it. When I saw the back, I happened to have a Taiwanese friend and chatted with her. So there is more perspective and perspective.

I just watched "Guling Street Teenage Murder" two days ago. Many people compared the...

Japanese style, with the shadow of Yasujiro Ozu, the long-shot narrative without rushing, there is no obvious tragic atmosphere, when you feel that you are finished procrastinating and sweating for the ending, the story has been completely presented in front of you , A lot of meat, not superfluous,...

The benefit of a good movie is that everyone can see it. What I like about "City of Sadness" is the style of the movie, including the prose narrative structure that has been praised countless times, Ozu-style camera language and soundtrack. And I don't agree with many people's appreciation of epic...

A movie that has been on the punch card list for a long time, it is cold today, and I suddenly want to open this movie and watch it after eating.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a two-and-a-half-hour long film. Although it’s an old film, it doesn’t make people feel tired, and the whole film is...

The third or fourth time I watched City of Sadness, I finally felt that I should have understood it. There are a few empty scenes that are really... thrilling. After the funeral, only Hou Hsiao-hsien dared to take pictures and was able to take pictures. After thinking about Farewell My Concubine...

The long shot at the beginning of the film is based on the broadcast of Yuyin, the imperial edict of the end of the war. The Edict of the End of the War was written in Chinese Xun reading style. Even in that era when Chinese and Chinese poetry did not disappear, most Japanese could not directly...
