At first, I felt that this movie had the quality of a drama, and I even thought that I was watching a drama for a while. But think again no. Although the two have a lot in common, the fixed single camera seat, especially in the dinner table scene, also magnifies the sense of realism and participation of watching the movie in person, but it is still different. The beauty and symmetry of the lens language of film art, as well as the wider choice of pictures, time and place, have expanded the expression space of the drama; while the hand-held lens, the depth of field and focal length, the position of the frame, and the choice of the person inside the painting , and all of them guide the audience, so that we can change from immersive bystanders when watching the drama to participants who think the same when watching the movie.
No wonder people say that the most Oscar-worthy movie in 2019 is 1917. I thought it was because he was an experimental work like a black box, innovative in expression and content; Immortal" pride, and the Academy's consistent preference for the theme of "movies about movies." But after reading this and then watching 1917, you will feel that the latter has not achieved the unity of form and content. Andre Bazin's advocacy of long shots is based on the basis of "showing non-selective shots to the audience". Therefore, the 432 film is very well done. Although the shots must be carefully selected and carefully designed, the reenactment of life is full of the whole film, so the film does not appear ingenious and is more moving.
On the other hand, in 1917, it is true that the whole film does not seem to be selective, just following the footsteps of the soldiers, but whether it is a lot of depth of field transformation and facial close-up, the use of color and soundtrack, or the route design itself, and finally across the battlefield. That run, the force of carving can be seen everywhere. At first glance, this was funny, because it can quickly and covertly sensationalize, but it makes the coherent long shot lose the truth that it should most express, which seems a bit nondescript. The audience will only stay in the sigh of "wow, so sad, so sad", and even more, "the long shot here is broken". Although it is a good attempt, from the perspective of film art, it can only be regarded as an attempt.
Speaking of the content itself, I still don't like Gabi very much when I think about it. Maybe the director's intention is to show a weak victim, a little girl who is accustomed to escaping under all kinds of pressure, but I really have a hard time accepting a person like her, plus the expression of the film itself is too real, I almost watched it. She is going to scold her during the movie.
I even thought about whether she was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger and showing a weak image to the outside world, but she was actually the one who got all the benefits. Although this kind of thinking cannot withstand scrutiny, after all, if this is the case, she will not be passively pregnant, and she will not have an abortion until nearly 5 months. But she is really the kind of person who uses stupidity as an excuse to stand on the moral high ground in another way, and by pretending to be pitiful, she can drag the people around her into the water, and then solve the problem at a lower cost.
She was deceiving herself all the time. As the saying goes, people can't deceive themselves even if they deceive the whole world. Even if they lie too much, they will really believe it. This is a false proposition in itself.
I was going to have an operation soon. When I was packing my luggage, it seemed like I was camping. I could still remember what brand of soap to ask my friend to buy, and what brand she used would cause dandruff. And when it really concerns her life and the money, innocence, and dignity of the only person who helped her, she doesn't care, living in her own world, and a single "I think" can reveal everything. To book a hotel, "I only call because I think people will think I'm an out-of-towner." So what? Did you show your ID? But if I want to check you, does it have anything to do with this? To go to the doctor alone, "I can't go because I'm inconvenient." What's inconvenient for you? I see that you move very freely, without showing any signs of pregnancy, and you are even bending over to shave your legs before you set off? Did you forget what they told you on the phone? Don't you know what it means to let Oti go? Why tell Bebe that Oti is your sister? If you really don't know what the word sister means, what's the difference between being a friend and having Bebe use it to blackmail you? Are you really sad about the lost child? When I saw the child in human form, I was so frightened that I was sick to my stomach. Can you order red meat and offal in the next second?
I saw some film critics interpret this as a weak woman. I don't object to this title, but I despise her as a person. Maybe this paragraph is too emotional and too personal, not like a film review that discusses things seriously, but I really don't see much sparkle in this person.
If Gabi is indifferent and contemptuous to the point of skipping the thought process of "mourning his misfortune and angering him without arguing", then Oti often has this sigh.
The film critic said it well, she is soft when it should be hard, and indifferent when it should be gentle. She is very contradictory, but it is precisely because of her unity and inseparable strength and tenderness that I feel more distressed for her mental and physical violations, being used by friends, and her powerlessness in facing her partner.
She is very good, so I hope she can think of herself more, be herself, and love herself more when she is betrayed by her friends intentionally or unintentionally, and when she is unintentionally despised by her partner.
And, after seeing the director's words recorded in the long comment, "I want to express the characters, not the times", I still feel moved.
A friend said that he felt that all works of art, no matter literature or movies, were expressing an era. Indeed, the fate of man is set by the times. But I think the era is too big, and the people who are washed down by the water or upstream in the era, everyone is different and unique. "Reflecting the common..." in this era, "representing the people of this class..." are all correct, but who can represent what?
