After all, it's the Venice Film Festival's Best Screenplay Award. Outstanding in the play. The film uses a non-linear narrative narrative structure. Take the author's interview with Jackied as the frame story; start with the CBS documentary "The White House Tour", and then introduce the White House; naturally lead to the main story: after the assassination of President Kennedy, Jackie's experience in the following days; and these things are The change of human beings and the psychological process of grief are presented through her conversation with Catholic priests. With the main story as the main line, the other three parts are inserted from time to time according to the development of the plot - not according to the natural continuation of time and space, namely the frame story, the "trip to the White House", and the conversation with the priest. The direct effect of adopting such a narrative method pays more attention to the development of the event and the hearts of the parties involved, thus leading the audience to focus on watching the movie. It also enhances the tension of the viewing experience. Also, biographical films, because they must follow historical facts, limit the fiction and creativity in story creation. Even a top-level event like "the assassination of the president" in real life cannot have a strong impact on the audience in a film and television story, because there are more violent incidents in countless film and television works. Therefore, in order to maintain a considerable degree of viewing experience for the audience, the playwright must resort to other methods (rather than using the usual creative methods, such as enhancing the conflict), to make the story have enough tension. The film's narrative structure, that is, the strategy of telling the story, I believe there are also considerations in this regard.
The director's narrative strategy is similar to that of his other biographical film, The Hunt for Neruda. By intercepting the most important experience in her life, she presents her personal characteristics in dealing with others and doing things to reflect her whole life. A point-and-shoot narrative strategy like this one works well, especially for biopics. Because a movie is only two hours long, what can be said is very limited. Movies, on the other hand, are not given such functions either. Movies have a strong entertainment culture attribute, and the audience is largely here to experience some kind of exciting movie viewing experience, and rarely to learn about historical events and related characters. Often, expertise is acquired by reading books, while news reports satisfy the curiosity of some readers in terms of celebrity anecdotes.
The characterization is quite restrained. The film changed the routine and routine scenes, and there were no scenes of crying and grief. But the repressed emotions of the characters, the lonely figure in the empty hall, the confession and confession to the Catholic priest, the inhumane resistance and random changes to the official complicated etiquette, etc., more successfully presented Jackie's almost broken heart.
