What was the last night on earth about?

I remember when I saw this movie, I was rushing to see it during the Spring Festival. In fact, the story expressed in this film does not belong to a complex type, although many people say that they can't understand it, probably because the expression used by director Bi Gan is really not suitable for the public.

The content of the film is relatively simple. This film mainly tells the story of Luo Hongwu, played by Huang Jue, who returns to Kaili, Guizhou Province in order to track down Zuo Hongyuan, the murderer of his friend's white cat. As a result, I didn't expect to meet Zuo Hongyuan's lover, Joey Meng Yee Man, and fell in love with her without any suspense. In the process of pursuing the perfect solution, the story of getting lost and not knowing the way home.

The narrative technique is rather confusing. The story of the whole movie is not complicated. But the narrative technique used is like a big splicing, and the original simple story becomes complicated. It is the audience who are influenced by the narrative structure of the film, so they don't know what the whole film is talking about.

And there are many characters in the movie who seem to appear and end in a scrawl. Even after watching a big meal, I don't know who he is talking about. For example, there is a clip in the movie in which a man and a woman embrace each other and the man cries while eating an apple. This nearly five-minute story has no cause and effect. So we can't know who these two people really are. Some people think this man is a white cat. However, there is no clear evidence. So the confusion of structure and logic is also one of the reasons why many people can't understand this film.

The narrative logic of failure. Bi Gan, the director who is obsessed with long shots in the film, also used long shots for an hour in this film, which made me dizzy.

The use of long shots for such a long time also leads to the fact that once the narrative is not clear enough, the logical concept is not strong enough. It is likely to be confused and unintelligible. Obviously, this film successfully stepped into this pit.

The narrative logic of the whole movie is not only chaotic, but also the relevance between stories is not so strong. The plot, which was originally very simple, was somewhat complicated over and over again.

Personally, I think this movie is actually ok in plot, but it doesn't achieve the expected effect in shooting, which is a little regrettable. Moreover, this film is not suitable for the public to watch.
