There is also a set of shots in "Hugo". At the beginning of the 20th century, the audience who came into contact with the film for the first time were surprised that all kinds of magical objects were projected on the screen. In the film, a scene of a train rumbled into the station scared the audience away.
Therefore, part of my heart is always yearning for the movies owned by people in the past and the movie-watching experience it brings. There were no commercials, no special effects, no 3D technology, not even color graphics, no sound, just pure cinema.
It's just that I didn't expect - in such an era of fast-changing film technology, one day after watching too many action movies, sci-fi movies, 3D movies, and even 4D5D movies with water jet fans and vibrating seats, you can still I came across such a black and white silent film in the cinema.
I walked into the movie hall alone, and when I entered the door, the little brother who checked the tickets asked strangely, "Why do you want to see the artist?" Even if I know that I really want to experience the feeling of watching a silent movie in the theater that I have always yearned for, but it's too bad to say that, I think I might fall asleep in the theater, eh.
Jean Dujardin's performance was very amusing at the beginning, but the modern sense of the heroine made the audience have to pull the audience back to their own era, followed by the camera, the composition, camera position, angle, lighting, and rhythm were also poor. Retro silent films are half-baked, like eating a bowl of raw rice. It's just that I didn't really fall asleep, but I still made a lot of dishes with this bowl of raw rice - laughing and crying.
The puppy that follows George Valentine in the movie is good at pretending to be dead, imitating, and the heroine's carefree personality. Her clumsiness and her charm have earned enough laughter.
An out-of-date mime actor, winking in front of the screen to please the audience, but in life he has extraordinary pride and self-esteem. He could not put down the mime, stubbornly insisted that the film did not need sound, and could not accept the reality of the intrusion of sound films. Even if the market eliminates it, when all the halo recedes, after the worst of times, I have to keep trying to maintain an optimistic and dignified life, sell my property, and even put my portrait up for auction at that moment. But George Valentine still had the lighthearted look on his face of a comedian, but at this moment all I knew was that this man was going to break down and explode.
Finally, one day on the street, he saw a high-end suit shop. Penniless, he faced the window face-to-face and admired the light and shadow of the glass. If he wore this suit, he would be intoxicated, stopped by the police and was arrested. Incessant abuse. The mouth in the camera is getting closer and bigger, and the mouth is full of speeches that never close. The pride and self-esteem of a man who was once a smash hit must have collapsed at this moment. . Then he drove home and burned all his work hysterically, watching the film burn and crying in the theater alone at that moment. Until finally he took out his pistol and tried to end his life.
The plot is simple, unfortunately, too many techniques cannot restore the pure simplicity of the mime itself, but even if it only has the form of a silent film, it is undoubtedly a tribute to the silent film and gives modern audiences a rare retro 20th century 20th century. Times cinema viewing experience.
This experience makes it clear just like a dream of the mime actor George Valentine in the movie: when the talkie movie was born, George Valentine was afraid of sound, and when he moved everything that day, there was a sound, a collision, and a walk. The sound, laughter, and laughter were all an abrupt existence, until he looked desperately at a feather slowly falling from the sky, but made a thunderous noise. A sudden blow.
It turns out that in a good movie, the sound dialogue is superfluous.
