Director Statement

All the actors in the film are the first movie, I gave them a half months rehearsing. This is my screenwriter director of the second film, to a 21 year old director of the eyes to see the world of unknown, self financing, independent production. Many of China's literary and artistic films are concerned about the edge of the countryside, few people pay attention to the urban youth and contemporary Chinese social pressure under the gay people. This movie shows a story is a gay identity of Chinese police and his lover (once a sex worker) After five years of life. In death as the theme, to explore the love and desire, the traditional ideas about the inclusion and conflict of the same sex love, With fantastic colors. In the film I have been pursuing some philosophical questions: Who we are, where we come from, where to go? Why do we live? What is love?
My attitude is serious, during the period because of funding problems, resulting in the film twice interrupted shooting.
I don't want to say too many technical problems, Some people say that the picture sometimes shake, I'll tell you why, because I have no money to rent a good quality tripod, Qingdao's wind is very strong, I have try my best to solve, all technical problems because of money problems, I choose to keep, because they are a part of my real shooting.I will not be shamed of poverty,
I will be true in the face of these flaws.
The charm of a movie doesn't necessarily make you understand, this movie you’ll never know what will happen the next second. In the film, I have used the Yasujiro Otsu’s life details and a large number of symbolic metaphors, water, watches, mirrors, apples and so on., With water as the background to discuss in the passage of time, the meaning of life, death and love, the film begins in the mirror, also ended in a mirror, with death as the theme, is a film about Eastern mysticism philosophy movies.
It’s hard to make it clear that the world we live in is either a reality or a dream, Although some sensitive edge people involved in the film, but it will not make you feel dirty. I'm just a spectator in the movie world. This is my attitude.
