Man: I really like this movie. "Sense and Sensibility" is the first time Ang Lee has made a major league film, the first time he has worked with a real star, and the first time he has worked with such a professional and mature team. I have some lace news here. It is said that in the crew, he not only had to fight with the actors, but also with the cameramen. Everyone was rich, experienced, and articulate. authority ".
We all know that this novel is a world famous novel. The audience can say that they are already familiar with the story itself, and various versions of film and television dramas have been filmed n times... In this case, why do you want to hire Ang Lee to be the executive director? You can imagine how embarrassed he was at the time: what did I use to convince so many top performing artists in the world who graduated from this university and that famous school?
Man: I also think about it; just a few blocks away, you can find 20 professors and 18 directors with a single phone call... What does the producer Fang Da Yuan ask Li An to do?
What is the real skill, what is the fake trick ... It is worth pondering! If the producer is not sure about the director, how could Ang Lee get the award as soon as he gets his hands on it?
Male: Well, it's really worth thinking about! The novel is there, how to choose the materials, what materials to choose, if the story can be written any way, anyone can shoot it, how can these Oscar awards collectively choose this movie... Is it also because of political correctness?
Why did the judges unanimously agree that this movie is a good, master-level work...? OK, where is the good? Why do you shoot these and not those ... The judges can't even tell their farts, and they are confused when they ask? All I can say is: so touching, so profound, so great...
Male: Li Er is such a Li Er, but to be honest, apart from making me cry, I really didn't find the bright spot in this movie? It seems to be a lot of characters, a few story lines, and a list of various plots...
Again, what you are looking at is the story , what I am looking at is the art!
Man: Alright, let's talk! Let's talk about the two sisters, Elinor and Marianne. I thought my sister was a little old and didn't feel good, but the more she looked, the better she looked. What's going on?
Ha, we both feel the same! Later, I thought about it and found the reason... The more kind people look, the better they look!
Man: That's true. In fact, men like kind women...
Well, let's talk about men. When you admire a woman, where do you look at her? What do you think?
Male: face, body, temperament...
This is intuition. Men are visual animals. Intuition is very important. The first thing that attracts you is the body, face, and voice...
There are a lot of details in this film. The colonel stands silently on the porch, secretly observing, taste, that kind of full-body scrutiny and scrutiny...
The same is true for women. Through the window, they quietly look at the men in front of them, oh, so man, so handsome, so attractive...
Male: This is a nympho!
Men and women are the same! This film focuses on this:
Love the butt and pass!
Man: Docking?
You come and I go... As the old saying goes: a husband has affection, a concubine has intentions, this is called love !
Male: That's right, shaving one's head and picking one's head is hot, no fun !
I think there is an interesting plot, Willoughby and Colonel Brandon, both send flowers to Marianne... It's a pity, but Marianne is only interested in Willoughby and happily accepts his wildflowers...
Look, my sister put both bouquets of flowers into a beautiful vase...
Let me tell you, these two flowers symbolize the two sisters... First of all, the two sisters have very different personalities.
Man: That's right! They have different temperaments, but they exude different flavors and different beauty ... One is elegant, the other is unrestrained!
That's right! Just like the two kinds of flowers that appear in this film, domestic flowers and wild flowers , have their own tastes:
One is tight-lipped, silently blooming, as peaceful as an orchid, while the other is surging inwardly, charming and charming, blooming wantonly...
So let me ask a question, for the woman Marianne, who has the right choice?
Hey, although Marianne accepted Willoughby's wildflowers, to say that Marianne is a flower sent by the colonel to give her the most correct evaluation!
There is some kind of fate hidden here! The docking of love, the person who truly loves you, observes you, appreciates you... understand you!
Master Li An is teaching us how to appreciate a woman, look sideways, look secretly, and let the woman in front of you come alive in your heart, this is called appreciation...
Male: Is this called prostitution?
Hey, that's pretty much it! What is love? The beauty of love, what is the essence of love ...? Hormonal love, understand? If you don't have this kind of skill in art, you can't do this business...
Man: Well, artists have imaginations, and they are masters of lust! Ha ha
Books are mentioned in the film, lots of books, and letters...
Love, hidden in books, those words, they will pop out at any time...
Emotional reading, soulful reading, a message of true love, you can definitely hear it...
Why are books so good?
Because words are the transmission of the heart! I read the mind of the author... Your great work, your lines and words, the stories and characters in the book will be remembered forever...
This is also a tribute to Ang Lee through this film, like the original book, like a novelist !
We see, Marianne keeps writing letters, desperately eager to reply...what do these plots mean? I hope you see the letter and come to me right away, I really want to see you...
Every word is the heart is calling, the heart is praying, the heart is crying...
Man: So what's Lucy's role in this film?
There are several couples of young couples in this film. I'm sorting it out to see what kind of ways I can find...
1 Sister Eleanor and Edward
2 Sister Marianne with Colonel and Willoughby
3 Lucy and Edward, and Edward's brother
Several people formed a polyamorous relationship...
All are in a message of releasing and receiving love, constantly shifting, looking at each other and themselves.
Man: But Lucy and Marianne both have empathy, Willoughby is more of a scumbag, and Edward has moments of indecision...
It is because the other party releases the signal of love that the other party cannot receive, and these misunderstandings and illusions are caused!
So let's see, a lot of pictures in this film are two people looking at each other, that is, the pictures of men and women wanting to meet each other's eyes...
Why? Subtext:
I need your signal, give it to me so I can understand!
Either look at each other and show affection, or have no feeling at all, turn your head and leave...
Male: One party is waiting for your confession, while the other party doesn't know what to say, or his eyes are blurred, erratic, and extremely embarrassing...
right! Now I understand, this is the creative purpose of the director ! What to shoot in the movie, which shots to choose, should you be playing for fun?
Man: Ha, that makes sense! Now that you understand everything and find the theme, I'm going to ask a question...
Four-dimensional integrated pull-tab analysis method , are you still afraid to ask?
Male: What is the meaning of this picture, close-up?
The bell rang , Marianne asked the attendant to send a letter in the middle of the night, and who would not bother... Look at the lines hanging on the bell, what is the metaphor?
Male: Traction?
Yes, this is a sign of love! There is traction, and there is feedback... This close-up picture is closely related to the theme, right?
Just like the major, hurry back... why? It is also a message from relatives, the traction of love...
Male: I see, this film integrates family and love together, it's all love!
Although it is said that love cannot be shaved and hot, it must not be denied that the power of love is powerful!
True love can move people the most, and it is also the power to save everything!
Is true love important? She did love her brother deeply, but when she felt the true love of Edward's brother, she changed her attitude...
So does Marianne, right?
Man: I didn't expect that Edward's younger brother would rather not have any property in order to pursue Lucy!
This is true love! This is especially true of the Colonel, whose love for Marianne is unswerving, and God can learn from it !
You notice, there is a word in the film, the walking dead, this word is very important
When I don't exist in your eyes at all... Then in my eyes, you are a walking dead . The implication is: Are you stupid, why can't you feel that I love you?
Because I have no feeling for you...
At this time, this corpse, a vegetative person, with a numb mind, needs to be awakened, what is it used for? Love, true love, relative's love, lover's love!
Marianne was critically ill. Before the sickbed, my sister said with tears, I can't live without you... My sister came back to life the next day!
At this time, my mother also took it back. This is the miracle of love. The relatives are calling : don't go, don't leave me...!
Marianne was rescued precisely because she received a message of love ...
Man: This is really a revelation from God!
Speaking of God's revelation, we watched a few rains in the film, which are very crucial ! In fact, these scenes are linked and analogous , and most audiences ignore them...
We found a problem, the rain is chasing Marianne, wherever Marianne goes, the rain falls...
Man: What does that mean?
Marianne goes to London, is it raining? Why did Marianne go to London, wasn't she just to meet Willoughby?
My sister Marian told my sister that it was right here, it was raining heavily that day, and Willoughby was holding me...what is this? Isn't it love? The sky is watching, it is raining, a testimony of love, right?
On the same rainy day , who came back with Marianne...?
Man: Colonel Brandon...? !
Of course it's the Colonel, which is interesting! Isn't this true love, Major, even more so ! God is also raining, and it is also proving that you have love!
Look, in the dark again, God arranged for Marianne to marry the major. Why? Because Marianne finally received the Colonel's message of love, she finally felt the love unleashed by Brenton!
Man: Wow, their union turned out to be God's arrangement and revelation...
Yes, look at the flowers sent by the colonel, it shows that Marianne did not marry the wrong person in the end!
What is God doing? God knows what you did! As the book says, how can love disappear out of thin air?
To sum up, we conclude, why does it rain?
Because your love is the truest, purest and holiest! So God received the message of love and gave a response, that is the revelation of love, the verification of love!
Really touched God!
Shouting to the sky and confessing to the sky, Marianne used her singing voice, used the sound of the piano, she recited, wrote letters, and used poetic sentences to constantly confess and desire, and she recklessly declared her love to the world... How could God not see where?
Man: What does this detail mean?
Rain, prove Marianne's true love, go to London to find Willoughby, but the subtext here is: Marianne, watch out, you're going to step on horse manure ...
Haha, a metaphor for the scumbag Willoughby...
Let's see, the rain is always chasing after my sister Marianne, what about my sister? A sullen gourd, holding back her love in her heart, but it doesn't matter, she will finally bring tears to her ...
Man: Haha, no thunder when it rains, absolutely! After your analysis, I think this movie is too artistic and worth pondering! Ang Lee is indeed a master...
Man: I think my sister represents reason and my sister represents emotion...
That's right! Reason and emotion are like those two bunches of flowers ... The film adaptation of the novel must inherit the soul of the original...
Besides, many people in this film are like this, Colonel Brandon, Edward, are too gentleman, too gentlema, these people are generally characterized by, love to read, really kind people, gentlemen, their love is hidden, they Silently giving for the beloved, rather than possessing, this film interprets a thought, as long as it is out of true love, the sky can see it, and the people around you can also see it...
This is love... Love can disappear, but that trace cannot be wiped out!
Man: Then let me ask, why didn't the colonel tell Maria about the scumbag Willoughby's previous "bad things"?
Honest and kind people are not because they have few minds, can't analyze problems and don't know how to think carefully... but because they don't think too bad about each other, they tend to consider more aspects, moral norms, commitments, gentleman cultivation, contracts Spirit……
The Colonel saw the love between Willoughby and Marianne, because the two did, at that time, look at that crazy carriage... Isn't it a declaration and declaration of love?
Man: So the Colonel keeps this in his heart and keeps his mouth shut! Because he didn't want to disappoint his beloved Marianne. The point is, kind people don't always try to guess people with the worst malice! Every time I think, maybe he is not that kind of person, not that bad!
Just like Marianne's mother, when she learns the true thoughts of her relatives, she is often overwhelmed with surprise and thinks a sentence in her heart: You are so despicable!
These are upright, kind-hearted people who tend to resign themselves to fate. For love, they don't seem to understand what it means to fight at all. They prefer to believe in fate, and isn't the so-called fate a gift from God to kind people?
I don't deny Willoughby's true love for Marianne, but for the money, he's really a piece of shit...
Marianne explained that love is not deep enough... I'll talk about it later, the g-spot of love...
The little girl mentioned kneeling in the church to propose marriage... What's the point?
Declare to God, declare to the world , I love you, my heart belongs to you!
Whether in love, marriage proposal...Marriage itself is a declaration of love!
Male: Well, these are closely related to the theme!
No matter how sensible people are in the face of true love, they will collapse.
The love between Elinor and Edward finally got good fruit, perfection. At that moment, love suddenly burst its dykes. That was something that no etiquette, morality, and red tape could stop it!
I suppress my forbearance, it's not that I don't feel it, who knows better than me that kind of torment...?
In the end, love, it will blow out, it will explode... This is the power of love!
When the moment of emotional catharsis, where can there be reason?
There are a lot of references to the house in the dialogue, and I noticed, the girl's cabin ...do you think it's related?
Of course, what else would you shoot him for?
When it comes to the recipient of love, the difference between the two sisters is precisely that one is open and the other is tight-lipped...
What is a house? Family! However, everyone also needs a spiritual home , where warmth and love are available, and it is a private space that belongs only to my world...
In this plot, the little girl hides under the table, and Edward quietly kicks the map to her...
Like the house on the tree, this place is a metaphor for a child's world...
The map is a metaphor, the world is home , and the home of the little girl's soul is the tree house and the map...
do you understand?
The key to this private space, what is the metaphor...? Atrium!
Why does the colonel often linger in front of the door? Subtext: At this time, he just can't knock on the door of Marianne's heart ...
This old couple in this film is very annoying... love to inquire, babble, and enjoy each other...
At this time, their task is coming, and it is very important. These are all screenwriters' homework...
Facing the little girl hiding under the table, what did Edward do?
To tease the child out, to lead it out, but not to pull out the ear...why? Because that place is the home of her soul !
In addition, many details of this film are, knocking on the door...
When guests come, they have to knock on the door . This is called etiquette. These shots have a special purpose. Look, when guests are brought in, they are all servants. This is the rule of the nobles. The director emphasized these to clarify a problem:
Atrium, can't be opened at will, I'm not happy if you inquire into my inner world!
Sisters are not relatives? There are a lot of things that I don’t want to say, and there are many things that I won’t let the other party know. Those are things that are deeply hidden in my heart and should not be easily told…
Man: Well, I understand, no one can stand you to inquire about my privacy and break into my "home"!
but, here comes the point,
So what can knock on this door? only love!
Love, love is the key to the door of the heart, the key to any door...
This is closely related to the theme again... What is the theme?
Male: The butt of love...
The key to love is in your hands. I want to send a message of love from my side, but you need to nod!
The implication: I promise you, you can come in, which means that I receive and accept the message of your love: ok, you can come to me, the heart of love is open for you, and we can build a love nest together!
So you look at this shot, the colonel paid so much to Marianne, but when Marianne woke up, he was wandering in front of the door, he didn't go in... What's the point?
Man: Gentleman, you won't go into the women's ward!
childish! You can see a fart in a movie like this...
What does the director want to say at this time?
I love you, but at this time I need to ask your permission to enter your world...
Man: Tell me about the g-spot of love you mentioned earlier...
Look at this picture, very interesting and artistic...
On this side, Lucy went to see the wicked mother-in-law and said what was in her heart. I didn't expect that the woman would beat Lucy like crazy like stepping on a cat's tail...
Suddenly the camera turned
See, what kind of thing can make an old lady look like a cheerful hen, or make a lady go wild...
You mean, stepped on the g-spot?
That's right! In fact, everyone has a g-spot, a emotional g-spot, or a sore spot... it's that spot that makes you orgasm, makes you angry ...
Let's talk about the g-spot of love , the g-spot... What does it mean that love is not deep enough?
Just didn't hit that spot...
If you can't reach her point, you won't be able to, no response...
Man: Why does it sound a little yellow?
I asked, do you have a feel? yes or no
Male: Yes!
Don't talk nonsense, this is art! The director's creation is based on these sources of ideas...
Man: At the end of the film, why did the scumbag Willoughby come to see Marianne's wedding and then ride away?
If you want to reap love, you must be firm and confident, without distractions, and move forward like a moth to a flame! If you try and stop at it, look ahead and look back , weigh, care, and weigh... Such people will never get love!
Man: I understand, his love is true love, but it's not deep enough, looking ahead and looking back... It will never be able to reach the g-spot, and he will never get his lover!
Yes, look at Edward's younger brother, I don't have a share of the property, I must marry the woman I love, so that such a person can get love and have love!
And when you touch the g-spot I love, I can't hold myself back, and my feelings burst out... Like a volcanic eruption, just like my sister finally collapsed and burst into tears...
At this time, the audience also reached that point, and cried along... Is there anything?
That's right! This is also my tears ...
The g-spot of love, the tears of the audience, everyone has a tipping point in their hearts...
This is the interpretation of art!
Man: Tell me about the opening and ending of this movie. I don't think the opening and ending of this movie have much content, nor can they be related to your theme?
Who said that, do you really understand?
The story begins with making a will before the sickbed, about making an inheritance, right?
Man: Another scumbag, his mouth is wrong! Old scumbag, contrary to the wishes of the deceased, like him, he simply failed to fulfill his promise...
What is a villain? Unlike gentlemen, they often don't take into account many things, what promises, marriage contracts... all of this, all shit, they have a hundred reasons to distort an agreement with a dead person...
Man: How does that relate to the theme?
Let's think about it this way: The deceased loved his wife deeply and wanted to inherit part of her property, but the message of love you conveyed , I (the scumbag) could not receive, and my promise could not be fulfilled...
Man: How do you understand this?
My mind is full of money, and when money is lost, how can I consider the relationship between flesh and blood...?
Oh, now I see! Haha, sure enough map the theme !
End credits: The colonel threw money in the sky and love to the world!
Man: It seems that Western weddings should be sprinkled with rice...
No matter what rice, money, evil spirits or whatever... it's a blessing anyway
Love can be spread, it can be contagious, it can be proclaimed to the world and proven...
The baby in this film is also the proof of love, the crystallization of love !
Plus, those rains are proof that, like the book says, love cannot be wiped out...
Rain also represents Marian's holy love, it is the verification and feedback of the sky , and it is a celestial phenomenon. I said it before?
Talk about the weather, astronomical phenomena ... These are all in the dialogue , experience it yourself!
This film, the whole story is about love, should be a film about "love"!
I hope we can all understand him and perceive her. At this time, let us pass on the joy and love in front of us to every pure and kind hearted person, and bless them forever, Amen...
Male: Cow! I understand your explanation!
Man: In addition, I found that many of my sister's skirts are checkered... What's the metaphor?
Note: Sister's skirt is either white or horizontal, with squares of various colors and absolutely no patterns. At this time, it is a metaphor for being upright and upright !
Kind-hearted people can always be beautiful, and would rather suffer themselves, so what they are best at is suppressing their feelings. These people love to read books,
But often, every word on the book can always become their brand and even a shackle, thinking more about others and less about themselves!
Male: I found two sets of shots, my sister is drinking coffee , I feel it is an analogy or some kind of subtext, but I can't say it, how do you think it should be interpreted?
The subtext is all four words: empathy !
The first time: Sister Marianne's coffee was drunk by her sister, and at this time Marianne was crying in the room, and her mother walked into another room angrily...
The second time: my sister was drinking coffee, looking at the heavy rain in front of her, she was uneasy: I can imagine your appearance in the rain, I understand your pain at this time...
Well, I really felt the same way. I used coffee to reflect my sister's mood at this time. You have a feeling when you explain it like this...
The words of love in the book are the most touching , so some people condense it into a small book, carry it close to the body, and use it as a talisman!
Occasional love articles and love rhetoric are the most moving ones!
Impressive, the sky can learn from it... Are these love words of each other's vows and the timeless love verses all interpreted in this film?
Man: That's right! I have always said that this film is a film about discussion, haha
Ang Lee teaches you how to look at love. In fact, that child likes both Willoughby and Edward, but that is a child's vision and perspective. Adults don't. We are adults, and we can't be like children...
The difference between liking and love is to know how to taste!
Man: What do you mean?
Love movies, you must be able to watch and taste them. Just like the hero and heroine in the film, you must feel them with your heart and imagine the beauty of the characters !
For example, if you see my sister talking to a horse, the kindness of women to animals...
The way a man looks at a woman is also to quietly appreciate it, and let the person in front of him live in his heart ... Only those who understand love can see through this...
Male: Well, it is indeed delicate, the eye of art. I actually like my sister very much. The more I look at it, the better it looks, but I can't tell it... Hehe!
If you want to get to know Li An, don't memorize what he has photographed, which school he graduated from, what awards he has received, which stream of consciousness he belongs to... all of this is useless!
Man: I just want to have zero distance with him, I must learn the real thing!
If you want to keep abreast of these international art masters, and if you want to have a real zero distance from the director, the only way is to study his works and explore his thoughts and souls...
