Summer Cinema
In the scorching summer, temperatures ignite fires all over the body, the mind grows hazy, and tempers flare. Watching movies is an excellent remedy for the heat: draw the curtains, turn on the air conditioner, put your phone away, and focus on the film. This is a deliberately created cool paradise. These five films all have powerful stories that resonate with me, prompting deep thought. A good movie truly extinguishes the fire in our bodies, its images reflecting the spirit of the times, and the actors' fleeting glances betraying a yearning for freedom.

Encore, Before the Goodbye
"My Bucket List" holds no grand dreams, only 100 little things yet undone, and a "see you tomorrow" that was never properly spoken. The same goes for "Encore: Before Saying Goodbye"—here, eternity is left unmentioned; there is only the desire to perform one last song for oneself before the lights go down. The scars of youth, the terror at the edge of the boxing ring, the wordless closeness between strangers, and the farewells quietly practiced in daily life—six films, each rehearsing the very same question: If only an encore remains, what sound do you wish to leave behind?
