Still Life/三峡好人

There are not too many dialogues in the movie, but it is not boring. Jia Zhangke the director demonstrates the real social life in China in such a documentary way. Its English name is a good description of the life status: still life. The emotional life of ordinary Chinese is very reserved, even looks like being repressed, yet their real emotion is still alive vividly below the still surface. The director's lens are full of metaphors, and the background of the Three Gorges Project highlights the contrast of impetuousness and still-status.

本片对白不多，却并不乏味，导演以一种纪录片的方式展现了中国社会的真实生活状态。英文片名很好地概括了这样的生活状态：still life。普通中国人的情感方式非常内敛，内敛到了看似压抑的程度，但是在这样寂静的表面下面，却是无法压抑的情感。导演的镜头充满各种隐喻，而以三峡工程为背景更凸显了浮躁与寂静的对比。
