elephant. Regarding school violence, there is a shooting case at Columbine High School in the United States as a prototype. Reminds me of another Chinese film Li Yu's "This Summer", which is said to be originally called "Fish and Elephant". "Fish" and "Xiang" are the symbolic expressions of the...

Long takes: In this film, Gus Van Sant uses a lot of follow-through long takes. This kind of footage seems to let us also walk into the American campus, followed by the characters in each story, to look at the day of the shooting from a different angle. One of my favorites is that after the hero...

The picture really likes the color of the sky. I don’t understand the metaphor of the elephant very well. After all, it is a Western proverb. The use of Alice made me even more obsessed with the music and lyricism of the violent scenes. The woman in red finally died because I couldn’t stand it. The...

It's just a day for a few kids, as always. Insipid, like the life of each of us. No climax, no anticipation. Say to yourself, oh, but that's it.       They are all ordinary children with young faces. Because he is young, he is always proud and unscrupulous. I love their expressions so much, they...

Very calmly narrating a day of a group of high school students, people can see that people with different personalities print the lives of various people due to their own experiences and the influence of their families, maybe there is a shadow of one of us or someone familiar to them. It seems that...

I saw this movie a year ago. Remember the changing sky at the end. The film depicts that side of the victims' lives in long shots. They are all ordinary people, ordinary one among countless students. But they became victims. The reason why I wrote this review is that I just watched the restoration...

I was very impatient to watch this movie, too many long shots, too little dialogue and too disconnected protagonists make it a bit boring. But after the movie repeats certain bridges many times, the intersection and passage between people have a sense of fate. This film roughly describes the...

An ordinary high school day. Except that it's not.        A long shot follows each student, quietly recording all the seemingly trivial and boring pictures around it. Playing ball, chatting, walking, taking photos, playing the piano, the clouds flow. One person connected to another person, after...

There are some movies that I like very much that I have prepared for a long time to watch. And revisiting the restrained and calm scenes of [The Elephant] is a decision made in an instant. It should be the third time, maybe the fourth time.  Maybe so. The tragedy that finally settled was their only...

Some things you don't expect to happen. Floating clouds flow in the blue sky, green is green. The blond teenager is worried about his drunken dad and being late again; a photography student immersed in the joy of work is taking pictures of couples in school; a few chatty girls chat about all kinds...
