Incredible camera scheduling

The further you watch this film, the clearer your ideas become and the stronger the emotions. The text of the few lines is extremely sophisticated. The two old people do not try to give answers, but just describe a dream. Behind the dream are all the images of the film.From destroyed building facades to ancient buildings, blasting to construction, the director filmed them all from an unusual perspective. The small stones are like running water, but the huge quarry is like a ripple.From ancient times to the present, stones have been manipulated in this way in images and reality from start to end.The tangled thoughts and emotions in the first half suddenly became clear when the "circle" was formed and began to expand slowly. Then you will start to admire the director's magical camera scheduling and arrangement. Master skill.But the sound of the explosion was too sudden, even if it counted down.After I left the house, I was still not satisfied, so I listened to "Cai Shi" by Omnipotent Youth Society. The perfect background music comes from "The theory of becoming".

Natural World Crumble

Architecton is an interesting documentary that explores the ancient buildings, constructions, and the world perspective about the stones graved into the earth. It's a surreal experimental piece of art.Director Victor Kossakovsky does a beautifully work on capturing the stones and the world of concrete by using gorgeous camerawork, intensifying soundtracks and colors presented. Each shot of the buildings and the rocks shines well on the magic about rocks and the amazement of concrete surface. The use of incredible sound designs, imagery and poetic nature structure was very purposeful and intriguing.Being near dialogue free, at times, I did wish the documentary did focus a bit on certain context since there are certain aspects that I thought could have been explored a bit more. But overall, a really good documentary.

Stunning Yet Tediously Slow: The Languid Tale of The Stone

The movie about The Stone is replete with technically excellent and visually stunning shots, yet it unfolds in a way that feels monotonous and repetitive. Admittedly, the opportunity to admire views that are usually not appreciated by the naked eye is unique and can be mesmerizing. However, the film's slow pace makes this potentially enriching experience rather tiresome.The main message of the author is only revealed in the epilogue, and it's not as if the preceding visuals significantly contribute to illustrating this point. The question that the author asks is intriguing but arrives too late. By the time it is presented, viewers might find themselves unable to fully contemplate and digest this thought.
