Two Trapped Beasts | A New Epic of Shakespeare Flavor

With the dramatic mode of the duo's revolving, it deeply depicts the trajectory of inner changes, and continues to inject power into the emotions in the film with Shakespeare-flavored lines and multiple close-up shots.

This film has an excellent mode of expression in terms of photography, lines and connotation imagery.

photography:

Same as the movie "Cold War", it adopts square framing, and I don't know the exact size, but compared with the common 16:9 mode, this method can better introduce the viewer's perspective into the center of the frame, especially in such a multi- In a close-up film that focuses on the dialogue of characters, the audio-visual characteristics of the characters can undoubtedly be better brought out.

The lesser depiction of the tsunami impact under the lighthouse still vividly displays the external features of the entire story development. The shooting angles of various objects on the lighthouse have the right rendering effect, and the germination of fear is deeply related to these scenes.

The change in the angle of movement of the camera also aggravates the expressive power of the characters to a certain extent. For example, in the "crazy moment" when there are many two people, the director adopts the method of overhead shooting, perhaps to let the audience look at the two from "God's perspective". The behavior of people may be to aggravate the confrontation between the images of the two.

Inner Imagery (Road to Desire)

In my opinion, the assistant's psychological changes are the main clue of the whole movie, from the resistance and fear of the lighthouse at the beginning of the movie, to gradually integrating with this imprisoned life, and even constantly infiltrating the legends in the male protagonist's mouth. In many images such as the sea god and the siren, he is constantly leading him step by step like a huge trap.

"The choice of the dominant position", the old lighthouse seems to have been in an untouchable position, but as the film progresses, the audience can clearly see that this gap is constantly changing, until the lighthouse finally succumbs like a dog. assistant

The two people's fear of sirens and sea gods are actually deep-seated emotions, but they have different manifestations. For the beacon chief, the images in his mouth are as unprovable as distant prayers, but they are always firmly believed, while the assistant has his own unique understanding of this, whether it is the sexual fantasy of the siren or the fear of octopus, all It gradually became more and more distant from the relationship between the lighthouse master,

The "revelry depiction", whether it is the madness of dancing and drinking, or the assistant's pursuit of sexual desire, symbolizes the two people's alternating roles on the road to satisfying their own desires. With the desire to glance at the top of the tower, the assistant constantly resisted the authority of the old lighthouse master, and the value of realizing his will is the blood-flesh battle between the two, and after a short climax, only the sadness of falling from the tower remains.

The value of seabirds runs through the whole film, and "killing seabirds will eventually lead to retribution" has also become the biggest foreshadowing of the whole film.

I don't want to write the lines anymore, it's too awesome and tired. I'm too picky.


But there is also extraordinary fun in such a serious film:

"I don't like your food, it's unpalatable"

"Let Neptune blow you up, Winslow,

Hulk, Triton, Bello, our father, the king of the sea, rushed out of the abyss of the sea with wrath, came with the black salt waves, filled this slender mouth with choking mucus. You suffocate and boil your guts until the swelling turns purple and your gallbladder wriths, unable to cry, only when he wears the crown of seashells with tentacles and whiskers and dances his deadly fins with his coral-colored trident in the storm Stab your esophagus with the roar of a banshee and burst you, no more human flesh and blood, not even the souls of harpies and dead sailors to devour only to be licked by the infinite water of the Emperor of Fear Lick engulfed, forgotten by the world, forgotten by time, forgotten by gods and demons, forgotten by the ocean, forgotten by Winslow, forgotten by your soul, all return to the ocean and never return! ! "

"Okay, I like your cooking"

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, as long as you say enough you will be able to convince others! ! !

    Thomas Wake: Hark Triton, hark! Bellow, bid our father the Sea King rise from the depths full foul in his fury! Black waves teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs til' ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more - only when he, crowned in cockle shells with slitherin' tentacle tail and steaming beard take up his fell be-finned arm, his coral-tine trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet, bursting ye - a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now and nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself - forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea, for any stuff for part of Winslow, even any scantling of your soul is Winslow no more, but is now itself the sea!

    Ephraim Winslow: Alright, have it your way. I like your cookin'.
