      Real Time in Movies: Greatest Respect or Cruel Display?

      Recently, I have been patiently watching several films that represent real time, that is, the time in the film is equal to the time in reality, and the director's processing is even slower than the real time. Creators and commentators who enjoy it often praise this style as the greatest respect for people, and sometimes wishful thinking that the audience will be more truly involved in the characters in the image, living, feeling, joy and synchronizing with them. pain. Not just the...

      elder. patient.

      In 150 minutes, I
      felt the helplessness and sadness of the elderly and the sick

      . They are both helpless and weak.
      Why can children get unlimited love and care
      , but the elderly cannot?
      Humans are cruel.

      Everyone gets old,
      so everyone should be

      nice
      to the elderly I ran around and thought that if a similar subject was filmed in China , it would definitely be more fun . The situation would be the opposite. It’s not no doctor, but...

      The documentary is very moving and dazzling

      Apart from the Communist Party's propaganda films, I have never seen a documentary film in the cinema. The camera kept shaking and shaking, just like the reports of war correspondents in the news. It feels like the photographer is holding a video camera or simply a home video camera. After shaking for 2 and a half hours, I felt like throwing up. And the lens can rarely be fixed at an angle. As long as someone talks, the lens will turn around all of a sudden. It feels real enough, but it's too...

      A typical life-flow movie, it is valuable that there is no criticism

      Cristi Puyo and Mongi, Netzer are representatives of Romanian New Wave cinema. The most award-winning among them is Mongi, while the Romanian New Wave originating film is Puyo's Reliability without a Doctor, or the Death of Mr. Lazenescu.

      One of the characteristics of the Romanian New Wave is that it is very down-to-earth. The death of Mr. Lazenescu, but Mr. Lazenescu did not die in the movie. More precisely, Mr. Lazenescu's cerebral hemorrhage visit. There is no difference between a...

      With a realistic scale, the film zooms in on a tiny (medical) event that is accustomed to reality and painstaking details step by step, and presents the naked problem astonishingly. However, the rhythm of the whole film is too slow, especially in the first 90 minutes, people are sleepy, and the 153-minute length of the film seems too long....

      The Romanian New Wave, the astonishing power of real time slowly erupting, die alone reveals the only common situation of human beings - aging into a rotten flesh, and no one can escape. Compared with such pain, the pain of "Pain and Glory" has added a thousand layers of fancy filters. Pain is never glory. It is only when the disease is revealed that he realizes that he is also part of the social environment that abandoned and ridiculed him, part of the group's...

      The great thing is that the hand-held long lens creates real time without making people feel redundant at all. The transition of the scene is actually more like a dramatic transition, but it makes people feel extremely real, which is the director's skill. The content of the film is also worth pondering. On the one hand, it is a satire of the medical system; on the other hand, it makes people feel the pain and anxiety of the elderly when they are dying. hope. The more sophisticated the machine,...

      The equivalent time is closer to the splicing of several live broadcasts in one day, so it is not a random norm, and closer to the best time period carefully selected by multiple groups, it is difficult to draw conclusions about the daily scene in Romania. I really like the casting of the protagonist, the whole body, especially the face, is swollen and seems to be split at any...

    Evaluation action

    A masterpiece that is easy to be overlooked, the first is not amazing, the second is a bit long (153 minutes), the subject matter is very ordinary, the rhythm is unhurried, but very exciting. I believe that everyone who lives in the city and has something to do with the medical system will resonate after reading it, because it is about a person who needs emergency treatment and is admitted to the hospital, but is kept out of the door...
