Write a short story for each of the seven favorite directors

Using the film review of this film, I wrote a short story for each of the seven directors I like. It was because of this film that I finally summed it up. There are many words that can be sent here, so let’s talk a little bit.

Pedro Almodovar (Spain??) If you think his style is unique after watching only three of his films, is the scope too small... But I think Almodovar really gives I feel this way. I can't comment on Almodovar from a fan's point of view, but I'll talk about it from the audience's point of view. Almodovar is a director who is like a lover in the hearts of the audience. It doesn't matter if you have watched one of his films but can't remember all the content. There will always be a scene that impresses you and reminds you to remember him. No matter how many other people's movies you watch, you can't ignore him. His movies will always remind you: don't forget me. It should be said that it was yesterday. Yesterday afternoon, I watched "All About My Mother" directed by Almodovar. That afternoon, I dreamed that I didn't fall asleep at all, because the dream was a picture of rain. A young boy was chasing a car that wouldn't stop for him with a pen and paper in his hand. The Spanish director's film tone, narrative style will immediately put you into that story, his story is always like a deep alley, you are alone, but you want to go down. As you walk, you realize that you have walked into the movie. Absurd stories are full of truth, and true stories reveal human feelings.

Denis Villeneuve (Canada??) Villeneuve's "Arrival" I watched four times before I finished it. Sleepy from the beginning to the end with tears streaming down my face. For a tearful audience, I should recommend this movie to you without hesitation. The biggest feature of director Villeneuve is that he can make the most moving science fiction films, you can totally trust him. I have only seen three of his works. Like Almodovar, he is a director who will always remember after watching it. Dune's lead actor Timothy Chalamet said in an interview that when he knew Villeneuve was going to play Paul Atreides, he would sway in front of the director whenever he got the chance to get him Pay attention to yourself and choose yourself as his male protagonist. It is such a director who also filmed "Blade Runner 2046", the sequel to "Blade Runner" (directed by Ridley Scott in 1982), and "The Story of Your Life" (Arrival) . "Blade Runner 2046" is a movie that surprised me to feel that sci-fi films are so beautiful, and "Arrival" made me feel that sci-fi films can be so emotional. Director Villeneuve can be said to know very well about film aesthetics! ! If you are given a chance to predict the future, when you know what tragic encounters you will encounter, do you still have the courage to face it, meet it, without fear? Coming will tell you such a story.

Eric Rohmer (France??) Summer is coming, don't you really plan to meet director Eric Rohmer? French director Eric Rohmer is best at landscapes, human relationships, love and women. Director Rohmer's famous Four Seasons story, you only have two choices: watching it all or not going to watch it. This series requires you to spend time throughout the year to watch it, not to cater to the season, but because every few months after watching a series, you will definitely think of this series and what Rohmer brought to your heart. Shock and empathy. The style of director Rohmer's films is like a fashion show that never goes out of style. Even the films of the last century are still fresh today. Some people say that director Rohmer is one of the directors who understands women's thoughts best. The female characters in his films are all special, independent, confident and very thoughtful. He is also willing to give women more shots. The French women in his films all exude their own unique charm. If you happen to have a projector, then Rohmer's films are perfect for the screen. Let's start this summer. François Aujong (France??) Senior Aujong fans will tell you the story of me and Aujong's "love". French director François Ozon is my favorite director in 2021, just because I watched a movie called "Into the House" in April of that year. For this reason, I wrote a very long review for this film. For me, "Into the House" is like a bullet, breaking through many, many excellent movies in my impression, and ranking directly as the third favorite movie in my heart. The first two are "The Last Emperor" directed by Bertolucci (to be discussed later) and "Love Before Dawn", an American romance film. Ou Rong can give you the feeling of a director with thousands of faces. You can feel the romance brought by literature and art, the love brought by summer, and the tension and excitement brought by suspense. Best of all, he can grind these up and fit them into the same movie. In the black-and-white film Franz released at the Venice Film Festival in 2016, he invited German actress Paula Bell and French actor Pierre Niner to co-star in this wartime romance. (The former masterpiece "No Master's Work", the latter masterpiece "Yves Saint Laurent Biography".) Brings a cryptic and profound love story to the audience. Au Rong directed another must-see film "été85", known as the French version of "Call Me by Your Name". The film is based on the novel "Dancing on My Grave" that he read in his youth. And why he made this movie Shadow, it can be regarded as a satisfactory answer to the young self. The movie tells you the whole story by telling you the ending first and then interludes. In terms of the way of answering questions in the Chinese test paper, such a method acts to arouse readers' interest in reading, and Ou Rong has completely done it. With these three movies to start, you will fall in love with him uncontrollably, his "Murder in the Pool", his "Eight Beauties"... all his movies. François Ojon is a director that French movie stars have publicly expressed their desire to cooperate. Just because he was able to make a movie like "Into the House" before 2012, it is enough for fans to establish the biggest relationship with him. expectations.

Bernardo Bertolucci (Italy??) Director Bertolucci is an Italian director who wants to integrate into Paris, but seems to have repeatedly hit a wall. Therefore, the famous "Dream of Paris" (released in 2003) was born, telling the story of the May riots in Paris in 1968, watching the riots from the perspective of three young people. Dream Paris is an orange film in my eyes, because its tone is orange, and the content it expresses seems to be orange. By contrast, Bertolucci's most famous work, The Last Emperor, is not like that. He invited Zunlong, Chen Chong, and Wu Junmei as the protagonists of the film. The famous Japanese composer Mr. Ryuichi Sakamoto made a cameo appearance for this film, and composed the music for the film, telling the story of the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Aisin Gioro Puyi. Stories from young to old. The film won 9 awards including Best Picture at the 60th Academy Awards. How did he walk into the Forbidden City in Beijing from the perspective of a foreigner to make this film? Perhaps it is precisely because he is not from our own country that he has the courage to shoot this epic film from the most objective angle. Throughout his two films, Bertolucci is a director who loves to explore history and explore its essential spirit. Just like in the film "Nineteen Zero", he was unwilling to delete the opening scene, but kept it intact. Parts that others find unnecessary.

Woody Allen (United States??) In my impression, I can find a lot of famous actors from the movies directed by Allen. Sweet Tea, Higgins, Curly West, Kristen Stewart, Elle Fanning...and many, many more. The actors he hired and the films he made sometimes make you forget that he is an old director over 80 years old. At a movie sharing meeting, others shared their favorite movies, and I shared Director Allen. When I mention him, the theme song of Midnight Paris will automatically play in my mind, as if I am already in Paris, standing by the water lily pond, walking on the road where the male protagonist has traveled through time and space. That melody also reminds me that Director Allen used to be a jazz clarinetist too. Fans now like to call him "little old man". He is indeed a little old man, but his films were introduced into China this year, and "A Rainy Day in New York" released some time ago is one. Compared with the Japanese movie "Love Like a Bouquet" released at the same time, it fascinates me more because it is romantic and because it is absurd. When I gave a report last year, the teacher told me that you are the only one who shares the sound, light and shadow of the director and the film. She thinks it's good. Yes, because these are obvious and impossible to ignore, aren't they just as important as the plot? Woody Allen can make you see this, hear this, and that's enough.

Christopher Nolan (UK??) Hans Zimmer's cornfield chase has begun, and Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" is back in theaters after reopening. It is hard to imagine that a 2014 sci-fi film will be re-screened on the screen, which shows that in the hearts of many audiences, this film is a highly recognized sci-fi film. If Villeneuve is an aesthetic god, Nolan seems to be a sci-fi brain hole monster. Some people say that Nolan's films have to be watched several times to truly understand them. The audience who have watched 6 of his films will tell you, yes. Even the movie "Dunkirk" that is said to be the least like him. "Dunkirk" is a war film made by director Nolan on the screen in 2018. It tells the story of a large-scale military activity film in which the British and French allied forces retreated in Dunkirk, France. The film won the 90th Academy Award for Best Picture (nominated), with a total of 26 awards. The film's cast includes Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, and more. Seeing this, do you have a little desire to see it? In the war movie fight to this day, directors have been racking their brains to create a peculiar perspective for the audience, and Nolan has undoubtedly done it. Remember to switch to 1080p when you open this movie, because Dunkirk is definitely worth the flow and clarity. It lets you see the war in 1940, but also the shooting skills and aesthetic impact of 2018. I still remember the first time I watched Dunkirk, I didn’t even understand the background, but I was still shocked by the scene of the fire burning on the sea. I gave a 4⭐ evaluation with passion. The movie is impeccable, just 5⭐.

    The only core word "comprehensive" is not included in Almodovar's praise to "All About My Mother". Son, as the only male psychology in this film, was "cut out" of this mother body early by him, just because this female-exclusive "A Streetcar Named Desire" would not be moved by his simplicity. For this reason, he invites all the audience outside the screen to enter the theater, for fear that it will become a fantasy, and under the banner of "Women Only", he will not get the completeness he wants.

    Almodovar's use of color reaches the extreme in this film, and the red full of life consciousness is completely different from Zhang Yimou's repressed and tragic. Everything about a mother is love, an unparalleled love that spans time and space. A life intertwined with blood and tears on and off the stage of "A Streetcar Named Desire". This is not just a woman's story, but concerns for the LGBT community. In the current Chinese cultural context, the importance of such works is beyond doubt.
