"Light in the Darkness"
- Review of "Dancer in the Darkness"
The most direct emotional impact this movie has on the audience in general is enough to make people forget the criticism of its rhythm control and artificiality, but to me, the movie as a viewing art has an impact on the audience. To the role of inner resonance is the fundamental purpose and my highest pursuit of a good movie.
This film, directed by the famous Danish director Von Trier, tells the story of a female protagonist with a natural physical disability who survived because of her beliefs and redeemed herself because of her kindness. The overall film is not obscure, but more highlights are the outstanding acting skills. Among the visual impact brought by the pointable Bjork and the great sympathy and pity in the viewers' hearts, the expression of metaphors and cameras has deepened and strengthened the power of this emotion, so I will start with these points for analysis. The merits of the video below.
Although the first half of the whole film is somewhat dull and dull, the continuous climaxes of the second half are enough to directly let the viewer go deep into the heart of the character. First of all, the quality of the whole film is also the spiritual pillar— Role. The importance of the role to a movie is self-evident, and there is no doubt that the establishment of the role in this film is extremely successful. The state of her groping with her hands on the train can clearly show her amblyopia disease, which is like love again and again. The standard music film that sings and dances like a city of music even reflects the status of music in her heart, like a believer-like belief, but each time the dance and singing are presented in a different way from most music films. , is no longer a beginning without any omen, but a prelude to music that combines the rhythm of life and nature to make it repeat itself. This ingenious setting can not only tell us that the heroine is sensitive to rhythm and advocating for nature And mad love, it can make the audience feel great incredible and shocking feelings. At this time, considering the distortion of the film itself seems distorted, because the image of the heroine at this time has already been linked with fantasy schizophrenia.
In addition to these, the heroine's doting on her son is also vividly reflected at the end of the film. The image of a mother who is so great that she is willing to give up her life so that her son will no longer suffer from infectious diseases is straight into the hearts of the people, and it is hard to forget. Of course, this is also an inseparable factor from the great acting skills of great actors.
In addition to the characters, the second point is the large number of long shots in the film. The most obvious one is the last 107 steps in her life when the female prison guard accompanies her. The shots along the way are sometimes behind the characters and sometimes in In front of the character, the long shaking shots along the way show the anxiety and length of the heroine's heart in this process. It seems that countless people are watching her doomed life journey, and she is dying all her life. What is even more terrifying is that it is inevitable. Death is the result of self-selection, and for a disabled person, when will the world be truly fair and humane.
The last point is the metaphorical symbol at the end of the film. The raised curtain is like the heroine performing a drama of life, and the audience sitting in front of the stage with chairs is more like a cold-blooded animal with a hypocritical heart like a beast. They watch executions like watching a play, and the musical drama dreamed by the heroine finally paid the price of her own life to realize the so-called dream.
In addition to these, many plots of the film are also worth thinking about at the end. For example, the scene where the heroine was forced to kill, on the surface, is just a scene of countless coincidences and countless struggles, but it is actually the heroine's life turning and psychological struggle. A process, we can't explain the occurrence of many things in this world, all the tragedies are engraved in our life and death book as if destined, the only thing we can do is to find a trace of light in the infinite tragedy, and that trace Light doesn't have to illuminate yourself, you can choose to illuminate others...
It is impossible to find a shimmer in complete darkness. In real life, you will not have a box of matches in your pocket, nor will you have an ever-bright light on your head. Continue to live in darkness in the endless darkness, and sooner or later you will realize that all light is an illusion baptized by darkness...
