Poet's Elegy

Wei Jie is an unknown poet. Not only did the publishing house not publish his collection of poems, they even discarded his works as garbage, and his brother even sold his poems as scrap paper for money. Not wanting to be looked down upon anymore, he chose to live on the street, whereupon he met Gula Bao, a prostitute who appreciated his works. An accident made everyone think he was dead... Selected by Time magazine as one of the 100 best movies in the world, it marked an important masterpiece for Dart's turning point. The prostitute seduces the down-and-out poet into boarding her desire, but discovers his talent and cherishes each other. The poet was misinformed about his death, and his poems suddenly became expensive in Luoyang. Everyone wanted a piece of the pie, even to the point of disowning his relatives. Dutt's depiction of the decadent chaos of the era is very shocking. Even though the subject matter is avant-garde (the dense close-ups are also avant-garde), it is very popular because it hits the current issues. Dutt no longer makes commercial jokes, but also takes the artistic route with great skill. The poet and his old lover meet in an elevator and perform a song and dance involving three time and space, which has become a classic scene in Indian movies.
