one of the longest film i have ever seen.
it also EARNS that.
the film like all the character is aimless, its human but only in the last hour it focuses more on a few specific characters.
its also mostly night in the last hour, that could be concidence but i would like to believe that its on purpose.
for a film with such a normal cast has allot of violence to the point of murder and gang wars.
but these gangs are all comprised off 15 year old kids.
they ain't got their life straight because they have no goal nor any idea of the future.
just random violence and aimlessingly going day threw day with meaningless, random and for no good reason violence.
i do think it will grow on me over time, its definitly a movie that feels like you'll get a different perspective on every other year of you're life.

A deliberate, immersive portrait of adolescence in 1960s Taipei where first love and gang life collide, a film that moves with the patience of lived experience rather than plot momentum.
