The film is quite satisfactory, and there are no obvious shortcomings or outstanding parts. The story is told relatively clearly, but there are no surprises, or expected, and politically correct.
However, I quite like the contrasting design of the heroine, especially the clown style before God and the strong psychological quality and professional skills after God. She has all the three elements of beauty, misery and strength!
The coordination between the music and the plot is very high, whether it is the intense tension in the storm, or the sudden enlightenment when breaking through the clouds and seeing the halo, or the lyricism of the personal ideal and emotional part, all aspects are suitable.
The transition between reality and memory is obvious and smooth, using bright cool colors to symbolize the sky and reality, while dim warm colors represent the ground and memories.
Speaking of which, my favorite passage between reality/memory and reality/illusion is the one that recites verses. I can't see each other's face in the fog, but I can only hear familiar verses. Simu just climbed up her brows, but turned to a disappointed sigh after the wind and mist dissipated.
In the vocal part, the character's cry after the balloon ascended to the sky and rushed through the rainstorm layer did not appear as a habitually imagined delay. I just realized that the boundless sky should have received a pure, without any reverb vocals. . And this kind of "vacuum" is also reflected in the processing of ambient sounds. When parting from a mid-close view, the sound of various metal instruments colliding with the sound of panning and clattering, accompanied by the sound of the wind, is almost silent during a large panoramic view. However, the missing delay shouting in the open shot is presented by switching scenes. The pure direct sound in the middle and close shots, and the distant sound in the large panorama is like an echo, and it should be shouted in harmony.
However, the sound design of the butterfly part is quite popular. Originally, the butterfly group flying by the air flow in the high sky looks very dreamy and incredible. Let's not talk about whether the theory is true or not. The sound of the butterfly flapping wings is made loud and solid. It's even very papery, it sounds like a flyer swirling all over the sky in a gust of wind, and it just feels a little messy.
Yesterday, Pharaoh told me to watch carefully for fear of heights, but I think it’s okay. Most of the shots (it’s said to be real shots) can’t see the ground, but they’re clouds, but I don’t think it’s that scary, but the heroine climbs the balloon That part was really disturbing!
Watching the hot air balloon on the big screen is not bad either, the sun shining through the clouds reminds me of flying in a plane.
Also, dogs have parachutes, why don't people?
