The title of the film "A Quiet Place 2" implies that the film is a game about sound. Interestingly, the first two scenes almost write the history of the film from early silent to sound.
What greets us at the beginning is the panorama of a street in a fixed shot, and in the isolated traffic lights and silence we have the desire to peep into the richer details, and this is not how the silent film was born to show the exotic and the street scene. ? As Lee arrives at the ballpark, it's reminiscent of the early movies' close relationship with sports craze, such as those dancing, boxing moments in Edison's films. And Evelyn constantly mouthed Marcus to take a deep breath in such a noisy environment, as if to remind the unrestrained application of the sound film just arrived. With the next monsters appearing and attacking humans for the first time, because Li and Regan were together, there was a switch between their voices and perspectives. Isn't it like a wrestling between silent and voiced? When the flashback of the story ends, the main film begins, as if it really pulled the prelude to the sound film. When the film no longer blindly piles up sounds and repeats what is on the screen, "the great mute voiced and learned to speak".
When Martin Scorsese said indignantly that "Marvel movies are not cinemas," he meant to worry about the future of cinema, which is the homogenization of cinema since New Hollywood. "A Quiet Place 2" has counterattacked in a number of Hollywood blockbusters, and it respects the ritual sense of desire to watch. When the beam of light on the screen lights up, we accept the setting that we will die if we speak out. Regan's deaf-mute status also rationalizes the family's rapid adaptation to sign language communication in such a situation, which also makes the film only Interpretation by "watching". The audience is truly manipulated in the dark seat, and the screen "sound" establishes an emotional connection with the characters, and obtains an emotional resonance between breathing, screaming and trembling in the constantly changing perspective. The behavior of watching the movie and the plot are intertextualized, and the audience dare not shout or eat popcorn, so when Evelyn gestured "deep breath" to her son who was playing football, we couldn't help but follow it. When the phone rang, we Subconsciously looking around the theater, this is a wonderful, movie-only moment, a thrill that you can't imagine watching movies on streaming media and mobile devices.
At the same time, the entire film of "A Quiet Place 2" was shot on film. One of the scenes that impressed me the most was when Regan and Emmett arrived safely on the island, and they finally opened up to each other. Their silhouettes are reflected in the afterglow of the sky, the sky is almost pink, and everything is so beautiful and quiet. It is rare to see the dawn of hope in the desolate and dilapidated apocalypse. This scene is reminiscent of Armando's "Days of Heaven", in which he used film to capture the short "magic moment" before the sunset, the orange-yellow tone that changes the line to make the whole Hollywood look with admiration, and In the age of film, the timing of waiting and shooting is no mean feat. It is these film masters who have created one after another under limited technical conditions, which may be clichés now, and have created the glorious course of film. Let countless fans still remember the initial throbbing attracted by time every time they see it.
"A Quiet Place 2" uses the entire story to tell the respect for the fundamentalism of the film, making this movie viewing a ceremony that belongs to the theater alone.
