The movie has a lot of inspiration for myself, which is actually the result of pulling the film in individual paragraphs.
The shot before the opening subtitles is quite attractive, and all the investigations that follow are actually completed by that push-pull shot. Two shots in all: back into the house through the stained window, with the zoom point. Then pull it out according to the action of the character and aim it at the window, and look at the face of the character from the window. One shot completed in one go. Afterwards, because of the sound (dog barking) and the character's action (opening the door), the camera jumps backwards into a big picture, a dilapidated auto repair shop. The character turned back, and a big truck passed by on the road... black field, subtitles. So amazing!
Ceylon simply loves changing focus.
When the power went out, I thought of my daughter's stunning appearance and couldn't help laughing. The director is too obsessed with "beauty".
Tianliang returned to the town and watched three cars approaching from the great vista behind the mountain and couldn't help sighing: It takes a day to prepare. The previous shots of vehicles driving through the wasteland in the evening are also... The light of the evening is probably only a few minutes... This cost...
Ceylon likes to play time games. Two seemingly continuous shots actually have a time hole in between. The doctor came home, turned on the computer, followed by the photo, thinking it was from the computer, and the next shot has changed to sitting next to him and putting down the photo. (The slow push in that group of photos is very comfortable.) The doctor went to the office alone, stared at the tree outside the window, answered the phone, and turned his head. The prosecutor was already sitting in the room. Is it really refreshing for the audience? Feeling a little slow?
After watching this movie, I couldn't help but wonder, what would it be like if it was cut again? Cut it like Bresson, with narration in some places... it should be very interesting, right? !
