Warning: Spoilers
these 4 parts story-telling is popular lately, but Jiangwen's "sun also rise" is the most magic one. compare to the "still thing"by Jiazhangke, Jiangwen use a more passion color and rhythm to make a movie, based on the Chinese life style. maybe you will say there is none connection with these two.but let us focus on the "looking for husband" part in "still thing", is it familiar to the frantic mum story in "the sun also rise". i totally believe the theme is the same. maybe these whole stories are out of the country ,the race, the age or period, it is supposed to happen whenever and wherever, woman is crazy for the man , man is crazy for different women,but life still on.can live in the love ,can death for the love. even can't tell ,the fate was made by a glance or an occasional meeting long time before. which like the wife of the director, also the actress as the frantic mum, said:" when i was very little,the first movie i've seen in cinema,is Jiangwen's "the days under sunshine", i never can expect one day i'm his wife." but for Jiangwen, this is not his first woman. but we can find ,how the new love encourage him and change the way he express himself.in the movie, when the young guy finally say his own opinion about the woman belong to him, Jiangwen, also a character in that movie, put on his gun, and give a shot.He is mad on he is not young.
