Here comes the master

If it wasn't for Polanski, I wouldn't watch it. I'm past the age to see society from this story. This film was shot by Polanski for children. The plot is too familiar and too simple for adults, but it also reveals adults' understanding of society.

Polanski's technique has reached the point of perfection. There is no deliberate and abuse of the shots, editing, and soundtrack. Occasionally, a beam of beautiful light in the indoor panorama will make people feel the presence of the director. The quarrel between Oliver and another boy about his mother, the front and back shots of the dialogue between the two are all medium and long-term perspectives, and other directors have long used facial close-ups to go to death, but the master is the master. Instead, it brings an immersive feeling.

So, I really don't know if this movie is for children or adults. If you are an adult, you can concentrate on studying film techniques.

    Elimination of background environment, establishment and demise of patriarchal rule, gallows in the audience, legal/reasonable violence. Polanski said that the film "Abandon the dark and cast the light" was for his two children. "I don't want them to be like the last time. After watching the pianist, the pianist said that they are not as good as Harry Potter."
