After reading a work, I'm sure you've gained a lot. You need to go back and write about it. Come and refer to how to write the feedback. The following are 5 words of feedback on "The Shadow of Heaven" and "Far Away" collected by me for reference only, hoping to help you.

Two films from different countries with very different cultural backgrounds were filmed 18 years apart, but the same theme of strangers wandering in the city can still be compared with each other in an interesting way.

This is the Shadow of Heaven by American director Jim Jamush in 1984 (also translated as stranger than paradise) and Far Away by Turkish director Nuri Bigger Ceylon in 2xx.

The Shadow of Heaven is a movie that speaks with images. Although it is a literary film, and it is also a black-and-white film, however, Jim Jia Muxu's rich lens language and teasing story make the movie full of interest.

It is said that Hungarian immigrant Willie is a gangster, who lives in a shabby apartment in new york, a "paradise", and makes a living by playing cards and betting on horses with his good friend Eddie. On this day, he received a phone call. His cousin Ava came from Budapest and wanted to stay in his apartment for 1 days.

So, scenes of seemingly ordinary life, but full of twists and turns, unfold between these three marginal youths ...

Far Away tells a story with a similar structure.

Mahmut, who is over 3 years old, is an independent photographer from rural Turkey. After years of hard work, he finally found a place in Istanbul and lived a quiet and comfortable life in his apartment alone.

However, the lodging of his cousin Yusef from the countryside has disrupted his ordinary and prosperous middle-class life.

Yusef lost his job because of the closure of his factory in his hometown, and wanted to travel in a big city, but he was estranged from his cousin, whose personality and living habits were very different ......

These two small-budget independent films were both successful.

It is said that the filming cost of "The Shadow of Heaven" was only $7,, but it won the Golden Camera Award at the 37th Cannes Film Festival.

Far Away was nominated for the Palme d 'Or Award in the 56th Cannes Film Festival, the jury award and the best actor award in the main competition unit, and participated in the screening of the 22nd Shanghai International Film Festival in 2xx.

However, judging from the cultural symbols contained in the film and its influence on the later filmmakers, The Shadow of Heaven is undoubtedly better. In the film, Ava's brick tape recorder keeps playing a song, which is the famous song "I Put a Spell on You" by the American alternative musician Screamin'jay Hawkins in 1956 (I enchanted you). In the song, Jay Hawkins' voice roared and had a mysterious primitive feeling, which perfectly set off Ava's desire to get out of the boring life.

In The Shadow of Paradise, the plot of my cousin staying at my cousin's house in the city was also used for reference by Wong Kar-wai in the 1988 film as tears go by.
