Vangels Sant's masterpiece. Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or. I was looking at the Palme d'Or at first. From the very beginning, it came into life from voyeurism. The camera has been closely behind all the characters, every corner of the campus, calm and hidden crisis. After each character's name is a most daily presentation, the style is very documentary, and there is not even a trace of deliberate performance.
In the clips of different characters, there are even different perspectives after breaking the relationship between time and space. The camera often takes the audience's eyes to push back for a period of time to reproduce different sides of the same scene. In this kind of calm expression, you can actually feel a strange and anxious atmosphere.
A group of kids who follow the steps in the school, about youth, their lives talk about family, depression, violence and sex, you don't think anything;
two boys who are not so prominent on weekdays, secretly playing video games of gunfights, bought Guns, or even taking a shower and trying to have sex together, you won't feel anything;
life's peace has turbulence and brokenness, we're all used to it, but, it's Van Gussant. Because it is him. Equally calm has spoken of many people who died.
He calmly talks about the realities of these lives, and the documentary scenes that he filmed a lot often make people shudder. The young and crazy souls are struggling silently, and the final crisis is accumulating silently. Until the last moment, you were surprised but not shocked by the crazy shooting, and panic but also suddenly realized, because of all the reasons, the director has already told you quietly.
There is another well-known documentary about this incident, "The Columbine Campus Incident", the work of Michael Moore, which attempts to observe and study the violent factors in American society and the fears that arise from them from various angles. It is also the 75th Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. It is inevitable and controversial. But in addition to disputes and disputes, fortunately we still have this way of thinking.
The scary thing is not that you don't know it, but that you have been in it for a long time, and you already know it but don't know it.
What's more terrifying is not that you don't know it, but that you know the tragedy and can't change it.
