still like Thomas in "Love in Prague" by Felipkoffman, handsome and easy, smart Danny and Dai Liuyisi made the character live, which is what I'm looking for. It's a feeling that can't be seen in the photos of Lao Mi.
Prague Love is not noisy, on the contrary, it is very elegant and quiet, which is rare in American movies. Although the director did not get the approval of Milan Kundera, the tone of the film is easier to be absorbed than Lao Mi's book. The smooth narration and the simple style put the rhythm and picture of the film in the first place. Perhaps what makes Lao Mi so old is that the movie has deleted his incisive comments on political culture.
The scene in the film showing Thomas and Bi Ruoshi drinking and dancing in a small town pub before they died is especially worth discussing. He got closer, and finally the close lovers came upstairs hugging and playing, when the camera made a close-up of Ruo Shi's petite feet, and the crystal skin seemed to gleam in the dim staircase. In describing this series of movements, the lively and melancholy Czech waltz has been accompanied by the smiling faces of Thomas and Biroten, who seem to have no hope for the future and time, and everything revels in hallucinatory pleasures.
What a beautiful and harmonious round dance this is. If this film is indeed criticized as useless by Lao Mi, this scene and the scene in the woods at the end of the film are definitely classics in film history. The last scene is obviously the Czech New Wave. The typical symbol of the film, the hazy leaves, and the wet mirror make the film end in a strong rural sadness.
Because the fragment of the woods is directly connected after the round dance, it must have evolved into a complete image when it is conveyed to the audience's mind, and the soundtrack of this piece has been transformed into a dreamy piano performance. This piece of piano came from the Czech Republic in the last century. The hand of the most talented pianist, it sounds like a dream, there is a sense of loss in beauty. The film is written in such a dream-like oil painting.
I've always been the Czech guy who keeps dancing around, I don't want to worry about bothersome politics, life. In almost all Czech New Wave works, the director conveys his dreamy nostalgia for the country. Milas Furman's "The Passing of Time" is a typical example. The director later turned into a commercial director, and he also made an extraordinary film of "Gone with the Wind". Mozate> Such a good film. In the latter, although the biggest goal of the director's filming is to make a sale, he has not lost his true character in the filming of a repentant soul like a dream.
The yearning and exploration of the new wave and the pure and kind-hearted emotions contributed to the success of "Love in Prague", but it is a pity that Felipe Kaufman no longer used the dreamy and wet scenes in the later films,
such as that one. "Quill", although not a bad film, but for the director, the change is unbearable.
