About The Ways Things Go: as a viewer I from the beginning was attracted by the chain reactions that is used by trash materials. I was intrigued to be following by the moving object in the film. I think in this kind of spectatorship it resembles what a narrative offers. Following this spectatorship angle I start sketching the whole film as a story: there is always a moving object—although it is not the same one it is always only a single object performing, and he is the protagonist in a narrative which allows us to reveal the world around him. The world is not exactly around him, but either in front of or behind him. This also provides a non-conventional narration style, which is to portrait the protagonist in a solitary space. Besides, each of his action provides one thought to viewers. Thus after viewing more than ten actions viewers choose to clarify each thought, to associate them together, or to individually think of them, and this kind of “free association/digestion” for viewers is what the narrative cannot functions.
