How to reflect that the sound is the mainstay in the movie? The best way is to hide various narrative clues in the sound, and every point of advancing the narrative comes from the discovery of the sound of the movie. As we all know, the movie sound is divided into three parts by Krakauer, sound effects, language, and music. In movies, language as a whole still assumes most of the narrative function. The music is mainly based on American jazz, and it assumes the function of setting off the atmosphere. The two are not surprising, but in this movie, the sound effects assume a more important function, which is that after each sound effect is specially mixed and rendered, it becomes more emotional. At the same time, it opens at 10 minutes. Later, the tapes recorded by Harry were repeatedly repeated. At this time, a large segment of the language was transformed into sound effects, deconstructed, and each turned into a metaphor. The progress of the story was mostly due to the relationship between Harry and the tape. Decided. When sound effects become the narrative symbol of the movie, then, at least the sound in the subsidiary position, the status is promoted. Not only that, but to sum up, the sound in this movie does everything that the picture can do. At the same time, it is even better in terms of emotional catharsis. The picture is dead, but the sound is alive. This is the power of Coppola.
Why would Harry have a soft spot for one of the many cases? The reason lies in his girlfriend. Harry’s girlfriend loves to sing the song "Red Robin". At this time, Harry has been abandoned by his girlfriend. This song, too, appeared in the square where Harry was listening, which brought his work and private life to an intersection, that is, from here, a seemingly ordinary task has undergone a qualitative change. When the song "Red Robin" was repeated in Harry's mind, Harry couldn't tell what kind of state he was in. With the departure of friends and the abandonment of girlfriends, only work can maintain one's only advantage. As work continued to penetrate every aspect of his life, Harry was surprised to find that he had lost a mess. The ending of the movie caused such an unbearable ending, which is largely due to Harry's over-decomposition and sad mentality of salvation.
The development of science and technology to a certain stage is beyond the control of human beings. Harry, who was eavesdropping on cutting-edge technology, was actually being monitored. This is a good example. Proud Harry thought he was on the cutting edge of technology, but when he was monitored, a sense of betrayal came suddenly. Harry's decadence was not only in his emotional life and moral death. At that moment, it was announced that his last life-saving straw, monitoring work, also gave up on him. He had torn apart all the corners of the room, and the room was suddenly in ruins. Harry was playing the saxophone in the ruins. He was just like a room, deconstructed and dead.
I agree that for Harry, kindness is a dead end. The so-called goodwill and the so-called redemption cannot prevent any malicious incident from happening. What's more, the goodwill held by people is the murderer who contributes to the flames. What morality is at this time, every time Harry digs deeper, he is more likely to be deceived. Morality blinded Harry's eyes. It was a rule made by man, not God. Harry deceived himself in this way and caused trouble, after all, it was for himself, to get rid of the guilt of the past, ironically, this made him a witness of sin. He is the top eavesdropper in the industry, but he does not possess the psychological qualities that an eavesdropper should have. This should be related to his childhood. This shows that Harry is irreversible in his mentality. Humanity is declared unsalvable at this time, which shows Coppola's disappointment with people.
Coppola said that his film was inspired by Antonioni's "Zoom". In these two films, the emotion of the protagonist is called loneliness. This kind of loneliness has been sharply amplified, resulting in doubts about everything. At the same time, the constant torture of oneself and the final choice made symbolize the failure of resistance. The difference is that Coppola also joined the torture of the gods. God's inaction was clearly and unmistakably expressed by the director, which also conformed to the trend of 1974. This is the same as positioning the movie as an eavesdropper. A background close to the reality can always allow the audience to better substitute.
Among Hollywood "movie boys", Coppola's artistic achievements are the highest. It is also a modern interpretation of the individual's mental state. And "Dialogue" is Coppola's most classic film noir work in "Analysis of Individuals".
