sinking with the rotation of the long lens

Dirt, the moment I saw the title, I knew that James McAvoy's transition had finally come to a crucial step. What's more, there is also the face close-up poster that comes into view. With his mouth wide open, the ginger-colored beard will make the contour of the fattened jaw even more fluffy. The fine wrinkles lie on the face, and the lake blue eyes show a unique green due to the light problem. It was a face that didn't belong to my impression of beauty, it was Bruce's face, it belonged to the face of a filthy cop who was addicted to drugs, desperate, lost and crazy. So I clicked in to see a story of a desperate soul struggling to sink, a story that had nothing to do with Zhan Yimei.
A bunch of gangsters, beat up, messed up. Afterwards, the sober sound of high-heeled shoes echoed in the subway tunnel, the sinner ran away, and the woman involved ran backwards facing the visitor with a complicated expression. The first long shot in the film, giving a seemingly inconsequential character. It even seemed inexplicable. Maybe I am not familiar with human expressions by nature. For a while, it was impossible to fully decipher the unpredictable expression on the woman's face. Even thought their boss was coming? To take possession of this bad Japanese product (laugh and cry)... Later I learned that it is called ridicule, surprise, pity, and curiosity. It is the rat in the ditch that laughs at the distressed house cat, and it is the inferior man who sees even more of his inner superiority.
The story unfolds slowly, with clever tricks and battles between offices, with a strange atmosphere in it. There is another person worth noting, the seemingly honest young policeman. It's also a long shot at the New Year's party, and the expressions on the face are full of how someone who has just entered the WTO is part of a corner of the world that hides its filth.
There are two of the most impressive long lenses. One of them is Bruce wobbly running to catch. Close-up of the camera advancing from far above the chest, the crowd passing by, and the camera begins to rotate. It sounds like a shot in a second-rate literary film. It is probably only Maizi's acting skills that make it truly transform into a shocking picture. Not every actor can stand up to the scrutiny of long takes. That near-substantial sadness surged out from every detail, overwhelming the senses. You begin to sympathize with him, you are shocked by his ugliness, and you cannot forgive him, but you have to sprinkle some salt on it. The long shots with too much tension even reminded me of the art of drama. Feel like the camera can't even take it and it will fall apart in the next second.
When it comes to the drama, countless film critics have already objected to the evaluation of its excessive force, and Xiaota also holds the same attitude, so I won't take up space here. There is only one sentence: let a schizophrenic patient not be crazy, let a fallen person be indifferent Do you think it is normal? ???
The second impressive long shot is the one that Maizi is proud of. Thinking about the camera being the same, watching funny shows, making harassing phone calls, getting physical pleasure but crying... He was like a madman, a poor worm, wriggling on the verge of collapse, with two blue veins bursting out on his forehead, Like two scars straight through the skull. That's a guy who was nailed to death. You can even hear that awful sound... obscene like a whirlpool, with the last bit of a dirge of being human.
The final outcome need not be repeated, his uniform is neat and his silver buttons are shiny. Soberly, he hung the scarf given by the little widow on the beam and tied it around his neck. Two vague figures appeared on the glass door, then turned and left. God cannot redeem that filthy soul. Take away the last light. Closeup face. Fat, crazy, he laughed cruelly: the rules continue. The chair falls to the ground. The final tragedy is also rendered as a malicious joke. But he recalled that when he received the scarf, tears continued in his eyes. That was the rare beauty in his dirty second half of his life. The only warmth that can be taken away...
Of course, there are many extraordinary scenes in the film worth savoring. The small tower is not described one by one. Zhiyu is real, as if the whole person is spinning and sinking along with those long shots, feeling the feeling of being buried alive by fate with him. The chair fell to the ground, as if an absurd nightmare had ended, like a new life. He exhaled the turbid air that had been smothered in his heart for a long time.
This is the first film I watched after Xiaota's 18th birthday. This is the fourth year that Xiaota likes Zhan Yimei. Scottish rough man ~ congratulations. This is really your best movie! Thank you for not losing time, and sealing up the extraordinary you in fleeting years.
