An Elephant Sitting Still (2018)

Revealing mistake: When Bu is packing up his things in his bedroom, the camera appears to sway abruptly from side to side two or three times during the scene, almost as if the cameraman couldn't keep the camera steady. (00:57:25 - 00:57:50)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Ling walks outside the cafe after Bu puts the note on the window. When the scene is shown from Cheng's POV, she stands still after walking outside, then walks a few steps to take the note off the window. When the scene is shown again from her POV, she is a lot further away from the window than earlier and has to walk a larger distance to reach the window. (01:54:20 - 02:03:05)

Casual Person

Revealing mistake: When Ling takes out her phone in the hotel bedroom, the time on the phone is 11:03. Given that daylight can be seen, the time must be 11:03am, but by this point in the story, it should be afternoon at the very least. Clearly, the scene must have been filmed in the morning.

Casual Person

Wang Jin: You can go wherever you want. Yes, you can. However, you'll find nothing different. I learned this when I've wasted most of my life away. So I have to sugar-coat it. There must be a difference.

Dean: Life just won't get better. It's all about agony. That agony has begun since you were born. You think that a new place will change your fate? It's bullshit. New place, new sufferings. You understand? No one truly knows about existence.

Yu Cheng: I feel relaxed with you.
Cheng's lover: It's not going to work between us.
Cheng's lover: We are not the same kind of people.
Cheng's lover: It will get us nowhere no matter how many time you try.
Yu Cheng: Then who is your kind?
Cheng's lover: Not you at least.
