Film is the seventh largest art in the world (it is also said to be the eighth, the difference is that dance is not an art). The so-called art is a kind of condensed beauty in life. Of course, the beauty in everyone's mind is different, this is a very subjective thing. Maybe I don't like Rodin's style, but that's OK, that doesn't stop Rodin from being a great artist.
Film is a special kind of art. In film, you can find all art forms: fine art, sculpture, music, drama, etc. Film can be said to be the master of art. Many art forms serve the film, and the film also has its own artistic appeal, such as the art of editing, the art of photography, and even the art of more abstract narrative.
I hate Sun Zhou's movies, they pretend to be B goods, but at least Sun Zhou's movies are still a kind of art. But "Ghost Story" doesn't deserve to be called a movie. Everyone can ask themselves, why did you keep reading it from start to finish? Especially the Americans, why are you crazy enough to make such a movie a box office champion?
But I don't deny that there is something in "Ghost Records" that attracts us to look down. This kind of thing is like the "Beauty Gone" video that hangs on the video site, or "The Office's Supernatural Video". Their appeal lies in exploiting our curiosity rather than our pursuit of artistic enjoyment.
Like the previous "Blair Witch", "Ghost Records" uses the form of a fake movie, under the guise of a work of art, but makes people bewitched by some so-called false truths. After watching this movie, and there is no one who thinks that something is wrong, you should reflect on your attitude towards the movie. If you think that this kind of casual videography at the level of appetite on video sites is also cinematic art, it is a blasphemy to the film.
Although Spielberg adored it, so what? Spielberg is a businessman when he's not making movies, and if there are so many mentally ill people willing to pay to watch a supernatural video that may be popular online, then I'll put it in theaters too.
In contrast, in recent years "Death Video" and "The Cloverfield File" I highly respect, although they are also imitating the form of DV photography, but in these two films, we can see the director's inadvertent art Creation, even if it is occasional out-of-focus and overexposure, also sparkles with creative sparks.
And the so-called random camera, saliva dialogue... don't say anything to create a sense of reality, this is not creation at all. Never seen anyone squeezing mud in there and calling it sculptural. Wait, it's not mud, it's shit.
