In the movie Mountains May Depart, Jia Zhangke uses a large number of ideographic symbols. He uses profound and erratic metaphorical signs to express nostalgia. The individual emotion is extended by the spatial symbols of blood, individual and human feelings, and the modern cultural aphasia is reflected by the misplaced consumption symbols of cultural aphasia and emotional rupture. In “metaphor” and “space”, the film “consumes” the dispersion and amnesia of the world percepted by people in different classes.
