    Beautiful use of black and white! There's nothing more dramatic and intense than well-done black and white film. Very well done and compelling story. Thank you for the gift of your art.

    The black and white atmosphere and its 4:3 square aspect ratio reminds me so much of Robert Egger's movie The Lighthouse with Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe.

    Funny how all that plagued force majeure and violence from outside also existed inside.
    There's no shelter for us Humans. Constant Anxiety is part of the Human Condition.
    Accept it and surrender. We have to live with it and that's proof of a imperfect dangerous Universe,
    clearly not designed perfect by gods. We are born defeated but we can be as strong as we want and keep fighting.

    末日的憐憫是愚蠢的
    但卻是人性最後的表現
    想要憐憫愚蠢的以人類身分死去
    還是要自私逃避的以「物種繁衍」為目標活著
    活的不像人類
    就是一道艱難的選擇題
    無私的死去
    自私的活著
    就像南韓和朝鮮
    台灣和中國
    說著同樣的話語和相像的生活方式
    但絕對是不同的人

    • @blackavar5723
      @blackavar5723 Před 5 měsíci +2

      I think that it was the irony that they'd both fatally shot each other right before the wind came for them anyway. Coupled with the fact that they were both drunk on hard liquor, it must've seemed funny to them

    • @rivciks5045
      @rivciks5045 Před 5 měsíci +1

      @@blackavar5723 I don’t think it was a normal human reaction. The urge to laugh would have been the last thing I would have felt. Most likely in that situation I would have been thinking my life over or praying

    • @blackavar5723
      @blackavar5723 Před 5 měsíci

      @@rivciks5045 Yeah, it definitely wasn't a normal response - I truly think it was in large part due to drunkeness and blood loss, combined. I have unfortunately been drunk and losing blood at the same time before, and your thoughts just don't connect or make sense in that state. So while I can see why they might react that way in their physical state, I completely agree with you - I, too, would be praying for my life, (and probably trying to drag myself to some sort of hiding place in my last moments of consciousness!)
