Film; about Deviation

One day after watching a film festival movie, I (the author) said to Chin-Chieh: "If there's nothing serious, I would like to watch another movie." That's when I realized I was classifying "go home" as a big event. February 23, 2023, I walked home on that day. On the way home, I noticed that it became quite ceremonial. The night scenes along the road, the memories of traveling with family, and the "failed" Super 8 images produced at home, all turned into the scenery of memories. At the same time, I also realize that when I am in the space of my home, I impose constraints on myself.

An audiovisual pleasure that will delight even those among us who think they don’t care for animation.

As the proverb goes: two boys are half a boy, and three boys are no boy at all. In a secluded, sea-eroded cave, three monks faced a constant water shortage.

The young monk practiced diligently, but the lake they relied on for water suddenly dried up. He realized that the legend may be a fabrication…
