2 It is full of symbols that are easy to understand and complicated. Religious symbols, animal symbols, including women and children are also a kind of symbols here. Some are very simple and straightforward to over deliberate, and some are completely inexplicable. Including the series of animals placed in the foreground when the child rides down the river, which is very interesting.
3 Themes: children, women, perverts. The criminal psychology here should be a priori, not worse than the current "Criminal Mind" or something.
4 The lens is so beautiful. This piece is really beautiful. And what I want to say is, "Youth School" borrowed some elements from here, right? There is a feeling of inexplicable Tao that looks like, but can't tell. More importantly, I seriously think that from the aesthetic point of view, the juvenile school is really at the juvenile level, and this one is at the youth level, which is a whole level worse. So, again, technology is really not enough, not enough to achieve qualitative change, it is just a quantitative change, and this quantitative change can easily be compared with truly outstanding works and real artworks. Black and white films have a natural superiority in their interpretation of light and shadow, which is that they can travel through time and space and fight against the so-called natural characteristics of new technology. So, from this perspective, I am very disappointed with the "Artist" that went on the market two years ago. It is a silent film, but it is also a black-and-white film. Obviously, its understanding of black-and-white films is not enough. Too much, Mornau didn't see enough.
Memorize three unparalleled fragments: down the river, overnight in the barn, and the female corpse in the water. Obviously there are many more, such as the episode of the murder, where the symbol of light and shadow is also used to the extreme. When I watched "The Third Person", I felt the use of light and shadow to the extreme, but I didn't expect that there was a baby to a higher level hidden here. Obviously, from a purely aesthetic point of view, this film is even better.
How about shooting "Wind in the Willow" according to this? "Little Red Horse" is also available. What kind of top quality will it be? But it can only exist in my imagination, I think it will be impossible for a few lifetimes.
