Unexpectedly, the whole story finally falls on the plot of Oedipus, and is it not panicking to write about Liang Zi who has a lung disease? If the 1990s were partly to explain the history of their parents (Jin Sheng and certain Tao), then 2014 was the foundation for the youth's Oedipus complex....

"Fenyang, Shanxi, is to Jia Zhangke, what Oxford is to Faulkner, and the northeastern town of Gaomi is to Mo Yan. It is painful and tender. When you reach the end of the world, you have to look back again and again."

Jia Zhangke, a film director born and raised in Shanxi Province, is one of the...

one.

Many scenes in the film are of the gray sky and dust in a small town in Jiangxi. It was so cold outside, people were wearing padded jackets, dancing outside and making dumplings at home. At the beginning, it was distributed to friends, everyone laughed and ate happily. I made it later for my...

1  There is coal in Shanxi. For men, if there is coal, there is money. For women, if there is coal, it is dirty and soil.  It was a place where there were no green mountains and green waters, and even a single grass was hard to see. Everywhere was gray and yellow, and when the wind blew, the mouth...

Not successful. In general, Jia Zhangke's camera language is not beautiful, the actor's tension is not enough, and the music is not too good. There is still a way to compare with Hou Hsiao-hsien. For example, when shooting small county towns, Jia Zhangke seems to be shooting photo stickers,...

"Old Man of Mountains and Rivers" is interspersed with Ye Qianwen's old song "Respect" more than five times. After watching the film, I was most impressed by three places, corresponding to three eras. The first time was in the 1990s. A young couple came to Tao'er's CD shop with a disc for an...

It is rare that Jia Zhangke's new works still have moments that move me under the vulgar script and blunt and deliberate performances. First of all, there is no more than two classic pop songs. In the plot with such a huge time span, it has a very wonderful effect. The Go West of Pet Shop Boys...

Dancing alone, I finally watched Jia Zhangke's "Old Man in Mountains and Rivers". When the music at the end of the film played, I felt a deep sense of powerlessness. The three-stage structure of the film tells the story of a woman's youth in 1999, middle age in 2014, and twilight in 2025. People...

Chief Jia's films were supposed to draw attention to reality, or some thinking. But after watching it, I felt that everything was made up out of nowhere. There are concepts and symbols, but there is a lack of realism. I feel that the director's ability to grasp the current social reality in China...

(Spoilers + Tucao + Applause + Tears) I watched Jia Zhangke's movies on CDs or online. How many years have passed? This time, I finally went from the ground to the ground. It's gratifying, but also very sad! The faces, emotions, and subtle changes of the characters are presented on the big screen....
