The communication teacher said that this is a stream-of-consciousness movie, and it is easy to fall into emptiness when watching it alone, so I brought my roommates to watch it together. Unexpectedly, as a student majoring in journalism and communication, I did not feel bored because of the stream of consciousness and incomprehension of the film. I spent more than 100 minutes happily in the personality and relationship between them, speculation about the development of the plot, curiosity about the behavior of the artist and male protagonist, and thinking about the theme of the film. Of course, my shallow brain didn't understand the philosophical undertones in the film. Not understanding it doesn't stop me from loving the film and admiring the structure and technique of the film, as well as my admiration for the master. For a person who is all from an aesthetic point of view, it seems that the professional perspective limits my deeper thinking about the film, but makes me notice countless interesting details. Of course, I still can't understand the main point of the film. Connecting together into a complete and meaningful whole. These thoughts are just a bunch of scattered fragments, but the first impressions and discoveries are still worth recording:
The tone of the film is mainly gray and blue, so the whole film gives a cold feeling.
The director's composition is very beautiful, and at the same time I feel that there must be some kind of profound intention in it: for example, the whole film is ubiquitous through the frames formed by various doors, windows and tables to frame or cut people; for example, those who pass through glass The composition of the person who is reflected in the mirror and the real person are in the same picture; for example, the back of the head and the back of the male protagonist always appear, and the invisible expression on the front gives a sense of voyeurism. There is a saying that "the eye is the soul "The window", when the male protagonist turned his back on us, it triggered our speculation and reverie about the male protagonist's inner world, and at the same time added a lot of charm to this implicit expression.
Unlike other films, "Zoom" is rarely accompanied by music in the film to enhance the atmosphere, and a few songs are played with the help of the music present in the film. Most of the time, we can only hear the quiet wind and trees. Sounds, the sound of shoes walking and the occasional sound in objects, also create another unique atmosphere.
What is the purpose of the male protagonist's experience of going to an antique store to buy a propeller and the last shot of the propeller being placed on the ground at home?
The strange scene that the male protagonist saw when he was looking for the strange woman (the accomplice of the murderer) in a rock music scene: the band played rock music tepidly on the stage, the dull and empty eyes and the quiet atmosphere of the people in the audience, as if A bunch of walking dead. A bass player (or guitar player) on the stage angrily and irritably smashed the equipment behind him with the bass (or guitar), even smashed the bass (or guitar) with his foot, and pushed the handle of the bass (or guitar) to the side. He threw it hard from the audience, was he angry because the audience was like a corpse in the audience? However, when the handle of the musical instrument was thrown down, the people in the audience changed their sluggish state and scrambled to grab the handle. Why? Is it because they thought the handle was valuable? The artist actor finally grabbed the handle and ran out, throwing it away from the audience, but then threw the handle on the street, why? A passerby on the street saw the handle on the ground, picked it up silently, glanced at it, and threw it back to the ground. Why?
The male protagonist says that he has a wife, but he is not considered a wife, and they have children, but they cannot be said to have children. What does this mean?
The male protagonist returned to the house he called "wife", watched his wife have sex with other men, watched his wife make his eyes to him so that the male protagonist would not disturb the man who was having sex with him, the male protagonist walked out of the house silently. And the next day the male protagonist saw "wife" but asked "wife" "Are you really not going to leave him", why is this? What is the relationship between the three of them?
When the male protagonist told his wife that he had witnessed a murder, why did the wife ask the male protagonist to promise to find out who killed the old man? Did the "wife" know the man who was killed?
When shooting the scene of two models going upstairs for the male protagonist, the author adopted an elevation composition, and deliberately photographed the legs of a woman wearing yellow and green stockings as she went upstairs. Why?
At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist witnessed a group of young men with white powder on their faces and strangely dressed crowded in a car happily doing strange actions on the street. At the end of the film, the male protagonist met the same group of young people again, and cheered and got out of the car to the park where the bodies disappeared. Several people were playing non-existent tennis on one of the tennis courts, and the rest were lying on the barbed wire and watching the game intently. An imaginary game. While watching, the male protagonist's eyes moved involuntarily with the movement of the imaginary tennis ball, and finally even heard the sound of the racket hitting the tennis ball. What is the theme of the film
In the end, the film gives the male protagonist a panoramic view from above. On the green lawn there is only a small figure of the male protagonist in a black suit and white trousers. Finally, the male protagonist disappears, and the subtitle "THE END" appears in the middle of the screen from small to large. .
All the details contain some kind of deep meaning. There are many words that inspire people to think in the barrage of station B: existence and nothingness, can human senses know the real world, the limit of cognition is to know the world, elephants Sitting on the ground, sometimes there is no boundary between reality and fantasy, and the male protagonist finally becomes a nihilist... Maybe I will record different thoughts here next time I watch it.
My thinking continues, how about yours?
