Today I can't help but want to recommend an old movie I watched two days ago, "Double Flag Town KnifeMan"
The story is not very exciting, but the style of photography is still a little unique. The focus of the film's story is to tell the story of a teenager's psychological growth and maturity at one stage.
But what makes me most profoundly influenced by southerners is the feeling of the whole movie picture, simply put, "gray a lot", the side of the house in the Great Northwest, the lamb chops hanging on the side of the roadside meat stall, everyone's face and head clothes, are a dirty feeling of yellow sand dust, and the people living in the northwest, the skin and lips on their faces, are a feeling of perennial lack of water and dry cracks.
Nowadays, many young people can often hear that they long to go on a pilgrimage to Tibet, to purify their souls in the great northwest, or to appreciate the grandeur and pride of the desert. But I have always felt that most of us young people lack a sense of awe for the world, and that the dangers hidden in nature far outweigh the beauty it presents to you.
If you can get a glimpse of the style of the desert northwest in the movie, immerse your soul in it, and your body can't personally feel it once, it may not be a regret. Or in other words, if you can feel a little fear, helplessness, and discomfort during the movie viewing process of "The Knife Rider of Double Flags Town" and "No Man's Land" (two movies that I currently think depict the northwest desert environment is better), then we should also seriously ask ourselves whether it is necessary or really ready to lead our bodies to western China to explore.
Ps: By the way, I strongly praise "No Man's Land", in a sense, in fact, it shows more clearly than "Double" the sinister dangers of the northwest region that our ordinary people's imaginations have reached.
