Son of Saul Comments

    -.5, the core visual style of blurring the concentration camp field as the background is not noise reduction of information in general, in order to focus on the subject of the foreground focal plane. When the camera follows the characters in the foreground and moves in the space, the audience pays more attention to what is happening behind the characters, that is, the subjective perception of the characters in the space. Even if they are blurred, they just simulate a sense of Disorder and...

    Perfect symbolism, false hope and obsession found in a desperate environment. Lots of close-ups but effective, hopefully some more action in Act 2 to keep the audience interested. The male lead didn't want to take this movie, thinking it was one of thousands of Holocaust-themed movies, but after reading the script, he took it without hesitation. Son of Saul proves that more than a hundred years later, there are still countless possibilities for...

    The shallow focus and long lens of the whole process, the internal perspective from beginning to end, no longer has the perspective of God, which also implies that there was no so-called divine help in this cruel history, only the little bit of faith in people’s hearts swaying in the dark. The son of Thor is by no means his own, which also makes everything seem more pure and ever-great. Thor's body has always been oppressed and controlled, but his will has always jumped out to become his...

    Not to mention the close-up of the telephoto in hand, the sound is super cool. The protagonist's personal world and the surrounding environment form a very strong contrast and synergy. It looks very confusing. But why do you think the sustenance is to bury the "son", this is not particularly able to get...

    The unique feature of the film is that it always focuses on the protagonist in close-up, and the shooting method of blurred background, which not only presents the hell on earth very realistically (really the most terrifying and shocking World War II concentration camp movie, the fire of gas chambers and mass graves) but not the same. It will give you nightmares and let the audience experience the perspective of the protagonist Sol's own, that is, focusing only on the things that Sol cares...

    An extremely disturbing film~ There is no direct violent and bloody scenes in the background of the whole process, but the ubiquitous whispers and shouts and sounds are enough to make people nervous~ It is said to be the debut work, and it is unbelievably mature, which makes people think Five-star...

    The back of the head is followed by a close-up close-up and the background is defocused. The left and right feet of Laszlo Gerais are clearly standing on the shoulders of the Darney brothers and Abu Dai Keshish. They innovate in learning and achieve a new generation of handheld...

    1. Shallow depth of field defocus + hand-held follow shot + close-up close-up + sports long lens + rich ambient sound + retro narrow format + 35mm film, a new shooting method of the Nazi Holocaust. 2. The individual perspective replaces the grand narrative, approximating the truth to the greatest extent, everything is blurred, and the cruel history hits our souls at the edge of the image and the space outside the painting. 3. It has nothing to do with inspiration, but pays attention to the...

    I serve it with dazzling skills, but the success of this audio-visual language somewhat weakens the drama of the story. And the blurring of a large number of defocused backgrounds isolates the protagonist's personal world from the cruel environment of the outside world, which I think is still open to question. As far as the thematic level of the film is concerned, whether it is based on false fatherly love, obsession or belief, there are many articles. One interpretation I am interested in is...

    Tough "Son of Thor"

    I know "Son of Thor" is difficult, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult.

    The story takes place in the center of hell, Auschwitz, where Sol, a member of the Prisoner Detachment (Sonderkommando), identified a body as his son after a gas purge, and within a day and a half later, obsessed with it....

    in a concentration camp

    "Son of Sol" is the first film I've seen that presents the dark and realistic film of "World War II Concentration Camp" from the protagonist's first perspective. The director deliberately showed the gas chambers, crematoriums, and mass graves in front of the audience step by step, and the...
