Change my view toward cinema

utp0130

I have heard a lot ppl criticizing WKW of being artsy. I'd agree with them in a certain degree since WKW definitely is not a director who has a public appeal. However, this does not mean WKW directed anything so different fm human emotion that ppl have hard time understanding it. On the contrary, this is the first film that i think perfectly capture human emotion. Like Camus's Strangers, WKW has always present the world as alienated, but unlike Camus, WKW gives hope in his film. I first watch the time of being wild when i was about 12, I didn't like it. 4 years later, after i thought i watch enough films to make any kind of judgment, i knew this will always be among my top 10 list of all time. Every character in this film is a sole creation of human nature. The pain and happiness are expressed so cleverly in this film that i think when ppl calling this film pretentious, i'd say they just do not understand it. My suggestion is before you watch any of WKW's film, calm yourself down and watch it alone. It will surely open your eyes to how much cinema can do to one's life

score 9/10
