Gould's thirty-two very short stories: thematic montages, which combine three elements of documentaries, dramas and avant-garde films for editing, non-linear narratives, and presented through a series of clips.
In the thematic montage, there are parallel montages, superimposed parallel montages, lens 1-lens 2-lens 3-lens 2-lens 1
and then add lens 4, then lens 3 -Lens 2-Lens 1-Lens 4-Lens 3-Lens 1By Vivian 2022-08-30 19:59:45
Saw this movie while learning about thematic montages and never knew Gould before. I read the profile that Gould is a weird musician. I've always liked people with eccentric characters, more interesting than ordinary people.
First of all he "blame" in his strong desire to express. Masters have a strong desire to express themselves, and their works are also a medium for self-expression....

I've always had the feeling that for every hour you spend with other people, you need X hours alone. What is X? I don't know if it's two and seven-eighths or seven and two-eighths, it's a relatively large number.
-- Glenn Gould
I've always had a sort of intuition, that for every hour you spend with other human beings, you need X number of hours alone. Now, what that X represents, I don't really know , whether it would be 2 and 7/8 or 7 and 2/8, but it's a substantial...By Abe 2022-08-30 15:12:42
Thank you for letting me decipher the beauty from the snippet
Someone once said to me: "Our time is sometimes fast and sometimes slow. All that remains in our memory are a few broken, uneven fragments that we spliced together in our minds, breaking the otherwise continuous past. fall, become obtrusive, become painful." No one can be fully understood. But when the accumulated fragments are stacked together, can you see something?
In the one-and-a-half hour-long "documentary", I repeatedly pondered a poetic experience of Gould's life...By Krystal 2022-08-30 14:12:26
Nordic temperament: yearning for a certain spiritual limit
On the first day of the new year, Gil Shaham's melodious violin in the early morning was very beautiful, and in the afternoon, it was intoxicated by Glenn Gould's 32 short films. The former knew at first glance that it must be the note performed by the water bottle, and then found that it was the genius of the Japanese water bottle. The latter...because from a recent blog post about Nordic countries, I read that the master Gould also has a deep Nordic complex. With curiosity and respect, I...

A very unique biopic, the way the director gathers information is particularly close to Gould's life, and the angles are also very unique. Gould is such an interesting...

As a biopic, it is already very good, and the character traits are revealed precisely like the tip of a needle. Each piece is short and concise, combined with the material of the documentary and the form of the performance, it has a relatively in-depth character building and understanding, coupled with Gould's own legend, it looks very artistic and has a lot of...

Glenn Gould: I don't know what the effective ratio would be but I've always had a sort of intuition that for every hour you spend with other human beings, you need X number of hours alone. Now what that X represents, I don't really know, whether it be 2 and 7/8ths or 7 and 2/8ths, but it's a substantial ratio.

Glenn Gould: [voiceover] My mother tells me that by five years old I had decided definitively to become a concert pianist. I think she had decided some time earlier. The story goes that while I was in the womb she played the piano continuously to give me a head start, and evidently it paid off. My mother was my first teacher, and I've never doubted her methods. After all, she introduced me to Bach.
