Kaili Blues

Kaili Blues, a Drama and Mystery film, primarily evokes a deep sense of Melancholy due to its quiet, lonely protagonist and the reflective nature of his journey through a troubled mind. Sadness is prominent, stemming from themes of abandonment and loss. Empathy is felt for Chen Sheng's personal quest and his quiet burdens. Curiosity is a driving force, fueled by the film's 'mystery' elements, the enigmatic Dang Mai where time is ambiguous, and the protagonist's search for understanding. Confusion arises from the surreal, non-linear experiences and the protagonist's internal debate about reality. Awe is inspired by the mystical setting and the profound, almost spiritual, experience of time and self-discovery. Nostalgia is present as Chen Sheng confronts and experiences his own past.
