The scene that make me hold my breath is the riding in the slum, The scene is noisy yet there is the aesthetic experience, the atmosphere of the scene is hot, sweaty and crowded, Compare to the sublime nature in The Assassin, Still Life’s aesthetic is more like looking into the daily of these people. The ship full of people and how the setting are old-looking, this still life of these Chinese formed another kind of beauty, the beauty construst with the people and setting itself. Back to The Assassin, the beauty is without human, the character in it are putting on these background, but the Still Life, the character themselves are part of the background as well. Both movies have scenes that makes people “wow”, the “wow” element, aesthetic experience, would makes audience thoughtless and focus on the screen and their consciousness is suspended and getting into the zone. The scene when the female protagonist is dancing with her soon to be ex-husband at the dock, behind there are other couple are dancing in the background, the concrete floor and the foggy air is forming a beautiful scene and all the focus is to the protagonist. The grey sky in the scene give me a sense of sentimental of the woman toward her ex-husband. There are no beautiful view of nature, but the way how the colour works makes me find the beauty in the concrete
