Director’s Statement
The film’s creation has a lot to do with our generation’s life. We are growing up in the 90s: before we had understand what’s “Internet” and “New Media”, life has been controlled by them, and the so-called industry. Media gives information to us, but I don’t need so much information. Industries give convenience to us, which make us more lazy and dependent. We set someone to discuss his life for the person doesn’t need to explain, and he is a man in this environment. The film is not a story. Mainly through images it delivers content. In the so-called the media age, the individual also becomes a “noise”, and becomes red and blue combination of strange things, combined with industry, media. I want to escape but fail. Most images directly use monochromatic photograph. The colours of our life are false.
