贾樟柯的务实使电影失去了故事性。画外音的广播和不同时期的流行歌曲告诉时间在发展，八十年代是那么土气不堪。 这里也有韩三明，还是个老实人，他不会是贾樟柯的表弟吧

很好看 2022 二刷

最近一直在看那种标准化生产出来的片子。偶然看到这个，心里突然间就舒服了一下。完全是在暮年的老男人视角下讲故事。 很动人。 我们的人生就好像是一张陌生的卷子，有的认真答了，有的就水水过一生。 但终归是要看看分数的。 像施密特的人生，算是绝大多数人的人生了。 一切都好像看不过，可谁不是这样度过的一生呢。 可这样有什么意义，可能除了爱一切都没有了意义。

宁愿选择保镖作为其传记

4.5 love it, even though the line between fiction and reality is supposedly clear particularly after 2nd viewing (obviously, the execution, the writer, the attempted suffocation by pillow scene are all imaginary) , there are still lots of postmodern smoke and mirrors and humors left (what the heck with all the bleeps, what does alien abduction mean, and at the very end, is Petrov just returning home ALONE? and his house becomes a dollhouse! Has he always been alone and the entire film is his comic work?). Now the cliched praise: dashing camera, surreal transition, 3-act structure each in its own shooting style and lighting invoking distinct emotions and motifs undercutting one another.
