Commemorating that I finally watched Stoke and put an end to Park
For me, "Stoke" is Park Chan-wook's process of turning corruption into magic. The main content is not recommended to watch. In short, it is a simple and rude plot with the potential of a bad movie, but the magic lies in the characters. The fabrications and Apo turn the decadent into magical lens expressions
From the very beginning, the female protagonist's whispers and those few close-up shots have made the texture come out, as if using the first act Park is like telling the viewer "I'm awesome this time, be careful". I have to say that Park's editing in "Stoke", especially the transitions, is definitely the most awesome of the few works I've seen. The countless transitions made me go back and watch it for the second time. And chanting "wtf", watching these transitions feels like watching another few seconds of a movie, an indescribably wonderful journey. Talking more is useless, it is bullshit.
And Park dealt with such a "girl killer" book that he also put a lot of effort into editing. The whole work even suggested that it be renamed "montage". The crazy intertwined various scenes made the film always "depressed" and "nervous" The coexisting textures make people look a little tired. Although the richness of the "timeline" level beyond the story has been expanded, the dense guidance to the audience makes the audience dare not get distracted and want to catch every moment. One detail pieced together a "Mulholland Drive"-like story. It can be said that this kind of treatment is a double-edged sword. Some people may reduce the weight of the plot and story because they pay attention to the treatment of the work. Excellent treatment will cover up the simplicity of the story. On the other hand, some people will feel that they have concentrated on the solution for so long. Question, the answer is not worthy of their own efforts. But in general, I think this way of handling it is much better in "Stoke" than pulling a line in a normal way.
As mentioned before, there are also characters who also support the content of the work. Among them, India is particularly prominent. I think there are three scenes that are worth pondering.
In the first scene of Charlie and India playing the piano, from the beginning of India solo, to Charlie joining, then Charlie became more and more aggressive, India gradually became unable to find a fight and even had the pleasure of "orgasm", (I don't know if this description is accurate or not , only for personal understanding), and finally came back to his senses, but there was no one around, this episode of Charlie should not exist, through India's imagination to express Charlie's intrusion into her life, and gradually invaded her life, she had a crush on him Gradually unable to find a fight, even because of Charlie's mystery, he was lingering in her mind, the expression in this paragraph has a strong Freud taste, but it is really overwhelming to use the piano in this way.
The second paragraph is a scene in which India saw Charlie and her mother being intimate in the kitchen, and ran out to find a boy in the school. If this scene is to be explained based on India's psychology, I think it should be her inner strong sexual repression when she saw her mother in the Not long after her father passed away, the scene with my uncle, you and me, weakened a little, and the suppressed libido found a crack in a flash, and had to press it back again, so she chose to be nice to her during the day. classmate, but when she got a certain catharsis, her sexual repression took the lead again, so she temporarily gave up and asked to leave. I think the expression in this paragraph is also very exciting.
The third paragraph is the subsequent scene of masturbation in the bathroom. India goes home to take a shower after Charlie kills the male classmate and masturbates in the bathroom, but in his head, the boy's grim face is indeed strangled by Charlie on himself, and he is thinking of boys When the neck was broken, I also achieved sexual satisfaction. I think this passage can be understood as a release of the backlog in my heart by using this kind of "revenge" pleasure after discovering that the only boy I have a crush on is actually not a good thing. , of course, it can also be understood as simply the "sexual perversion" tendency brought about by long-term sexual repression.
Finally, I sigh that time is inspiring. Although Nicole is still beautiful, she is still not as amazing as the "Fuck" sentence more than ten years ago. But even so, she is still beautiful.
