Sao paulo sao paulo

Stormy in Sao Paulo tonight
US bombing Syria
what a night..

Good man good woman 1993 Hou Hsiao Hsian
THe use of silhouette of the villain figure (dark) + protagonist under the light (bright) dominating the frame, at the end move to edge of the frame, blocking the woman, while the child /baby walks to the middle of the frame. for a while.
A landscape wide shot (two trees), long at least 10 seconds, with non symmetrical, image, left side blank, one smaller tree in the middle but not exactly in the middle, a bigger tree on the right side, only 2/3 in the frame.
watching him film, is a feeling, a feeling of mass, a group of people, walking back and forth, running around, chasing this that belongs or doesn't belong to them
coldly express how Haodong executed, cremation bureau asks for money, they borrow money all over the place, the she asked her sister, did she see him, she said, yes, three bullets in the chest, head injury, etc - quite cold feeling
A comparison of 1950s and 1990s - both meetings, the dean of middle school is talking about how the classes conflicting problem, farmers, landlords, how to sell their house to make a newspaper so people know more, while in 1990s, the gang member meeting is all talking about to make networks, getting more money, killing other group of gang

as Hou use long wide shot, he has his own method for blocking in his long shot, , make it un-symmetrical, make it realistic but unusual, to make extra points

In the heat of sun 1994 Jiang Wen
The use of music
slow tracking shot of the young men sing "ka qiu sha"
Reality and fantasy
