Film review

What popped out to me in the "City of Sadness" were some of the technicalities that attributed to the intended tone and image of this movie. To achieve a somber image, a lot of the scenes were dim, dusty, and silent. The image seemed to be dark, poor, and desperate. There was always little to no lighting. Also, in regards to music, there wasn't any dramatic beats. The action in the movie was still but only moving through times. They achieved the waiting feeling which was a huge part of the storyline.
