The Return of Subjectivity (Shi Xiong)

 Latest addition to the Library page:

"Since the term "slow movie" was coined in 2003, the "fast-slow" movie debate has become a new academic focus, but there has never been a clear standard for "fast" and "slow" movies. However, there has never been a clear standard for "fast" and "slow" movies, and the discussion of "fast and slow" has often fallen into a solid binary pattern. The unique aesthetic characteristics and viewing experience of "slow movies" have a unique impact and inspiration on the audience, and can even prompt the return of hu-man subjectivity, which is of great significance to our understanding of "slow movies" and thinking about the "fast-slow dispute". It is of great significance to our understand-ing of "slow movie" and thinking about the "fast-slow controversy". 

[..] Even after we walk out of the theater, the deep impression left by the visual and auditory senses will persist in our brains, and our emotions and thoughts will also extend. This emotional continuity does not end abruptly with the end of the image, nor does it end our search for meaning, but rather unfolds the infinite possibilities of meaning inter-pretation."
