i come home late night and tire and sit in my sofa and turn on the tv and there be this chinese movie . it have just start and i want to change the channel and but i do not do it . i be curious and co i have never see a chinese movie before . and there be this opening scene with long track shot and i say wow and i watch it to the end . these have be the surprising 2 hour . this film be so great that it be hard to believe . actually and it not about some chinese people do their chinese thing in their china while it about people in general . it be a film with a very universal approach to the very universal issue . the theme in this film be not limit in any particular space or national frontier and they can be apply to any people of any country in the modern world . this film deal ( at least try to ) with such common question concern the human live a love and hatred and despair and pain and loneliness and death and friendship etc . with it level of the variety of these issue and i would compare it to magnolia and with the difference that world probably go deeply in the exploration of a human destination . to say briefly world be about people on the planet earth and about the complicated interaction of the way of their dismal life and about constant and incomprehensible feeling of sadness which cover our planet soak within it thin layer of atmosphere . the film manage to be sad itself and use some nice and unidentified ( for me ) music . but the most surprising thing about world be that it evoke some sad and beautiful emotion into viewer and and call it a cinematic trick or a cheap manipulation but the animated sequence be really great . they perform the condition of the character inner world and their diverse sensation evoke by the various message they get on their cell phone . now to my favorite part represent the technique . cinematography be great and very colorful and very track but slow and well execute . lighting be ok and but could be do more professionally . production design be strange and scene be shoot from very few angle and in some sequence there be only one single camera use and but since it contribute to entire film not so dynamic and fast pace and it can be consider decent . editing be by far the weak point of the movie and i do not know whether it be cut on avid or not and but it look more like an amateur moviola edit . a for act and well to say frankly it be a little bit hard for me to follow the acting and co these chinese guy be so different and their mimic and way of expression be not familiar to me . a a result and i can say that cinema be be make in china and this cinema look good than you can imagine .
