I watched it ahead of time because I was going to a movie sharing session. I didn't expect the sharing meeting to be a live reflection, so I watched it a second time. If you want to study the philosophical knowledge in it, it is strongly recommended to read it a second time, it will give you different thinking. Although the overall rhythm is slow, I heard the young lady at the sharing session say that the director of this film actually has no money before the filming is finished. Still feel that the editing is not very satisfactory.
【Script and Story】
The story takes on a mythological structure. It starts with a crazy crowd and ends with that. The male protagonist seems to have crossed a bridge from pride and complacency to self-doubt and cowardice. Such a structured story explores a theme of "the presence and absence of information" that is relevant to people of all times.
When we focus too much on one detail, we ignore other information. But do those details really make sense? unknown. He originally saw everything thoroughly, picked up the camera to know what he wanted, and then approached the effect he wanted in a straight line. When the truth that the male protagonist was trying so hard to pursue lost its clues, he also didn't know the truth of the matter.
Although I really want to complain about why the male protagonist didn't go to the police and take pictures directly, but let others believe that he is the first, but seeing that the male protagonist finally fell into the gray area of "yes" and "nothing", until Reality and fantasy are reversed, and the director elevates the whole story to a high academic metaphor.
I don't really like the story, but I like the idea he presents. The rhythm is relatively slow, and I still don't know what the male protagonist's wife can do, and I don't want to make excuses for the director. The ending is high quality, but the process still leaves a lot of room for change. Because, when we already know a given fact, the process doesn't matter anymore.
【Lens】
There are many fixed shots, and sometimes even a large span. It's like trying to simulate the texture of still photography. But the lack of character scheduling results in a single and uninteresting shot.
