Personality assessment

Midi Z.'s films show a strong vitality and unique aesthetics of "barbaric growth", which is worth looking forward to (paper net Review). Most of his works take life in Myanmar as the theme, and record the regime change and times change in Myanmar society in a realistic way, as well as the difficult life of little people in it (Sohu. Com comments).

Midi Z. gradually established his own image style in the trilogy of "Going Home". He added magical surreal elements to the documentary, making the barren land in northern Myanmar more desolate (2 1 Caijing. com Review).

Midi Z.'s works pick up the pain of the world, but he tends to have an artistic point of view close to cleanliness (Phoenix Network Review). In "goodbye tile city", Midi Z. used surrealist shooting techniques to maximize the imagination of the audience, which complemented the conservative convergence style of the whole film and even pushed the film to a higher level. His future potential is infinite (Netease Online Review).
