He was walking too fast

i'm not the most patient person. i find it hard to slow down; to be here; to be present. i always need to be doing something. either i'm on the go or my mind is, hurtling off in a million different directions, filled with a million different thoughts. needless to say this was an IMMENSELY frustrating watch – and i loved every minute of it!

Tsai Ming-liang's short films are something else, he often uses static cameras in beautiful shots, with patience, mesmerizing colors, and this short film is proof of that. His themes are commonly about change and contrasts, change facing the calm of the monk, who walks at a very slow pace, in front of a bright, fast and bustling Hong Kong. Beyond the simplicity of its proposal, its result is very interesting and entertaining to watch. Its ending also brings basic but significant conclusions, with a beautiful meaning, of the human, of the simple life.
