Self-destructive gentle subject

For three days, off and on, I finally finished watching this movie. The complexity that the film presents may outweigh the author's intentions, at least when watching the director commenting on the subtitles, I feel like he himself (or ostensibly disguise his true intentions) is just constantly talking about which films those scenes pay homage to. Of course, I do not deny the director's own creative attitude, but I would like to talk about my interpretation of the author's work from my personal...

25 years of von Trier's cool and madness

A movie from 25 years ago, I still think it is a technical school, cool and crazy, and at a glance, I know that it is the kind of film that can enter the history of filmmaking. This Feng is not a vegetarian. After filming the finale of the European trilogy "European Express", he joined the so-called dogma95 party, claiming to break with modern movies, and strictly guarding the craftsmanship of hand-held cameras, no lighting, and live radio. principle, and filmed the conscience trilogy "Idiot",...

The answer floats in the water

Comment on "European Express" by Akikawa There is a director who likes classical music, he likes Tarkovsky's composition, he loves Bergman madly, and he set off the Dogma movement. He is Lars Von Trier. The film "Euro Express" was discovered in the thick book "Understanding Movies", and the illustration selected in the book is a man in a top hat living in a huge clock, like an exaggeration of a Chaplin movie. Performance. I'm amazed that there is still such a retro expression. So I came into...

Very thick film. The way the United States treats defeated countries always seems to be like this, and the war is complete with this...

Although I don't like the ideas expressed in Lars von Trier's works, I cannot deny his talent in images, the color prominence in black and white tones, the rotating photography of overlooking, the sense of blur created by hypnosis, these elements are all for The film has a dark and magical atmosphere. As for reflection, the director has never been able to do it. This is a work that looks at the issue of defeat from a German standpoint, which can be regarded as providing another...

It's an amazing movie from every angle. The screen lighting and soundtrack are all restored to the 1940s and 1950s, and the play and many artistic ingenuities are quite modern, and it is amazing to see "Steppenwolf" in the film...

Hypnotic cutscenes, black-and-white color, suspiciously real. "You can't be without a position and stay out of the way." It shows the difficulty of everyone's choices during and after the war. I didn't recognize Barbara Sukowa until the last...
