A few screen feelings from rewatching "One of the Ten Commandments"
1. You can pay attention to the blank characters that do not affect the plot of the story, but don't think of it as a detective film
. The picture at the beginning of his movie is ice on the left and gurgles on the right. Running water, the overall picture is a gray and dark picture, the camera slowly lifts up, and sees this snow-covered icy surface, a man wearing a dog-skin hat is quietly heating the fire, his eyes are always turning to look at the camera. His character and the fire appear again and again in this movie, and he appears again and again as a blank character in the Ten Commandments movie. But it does not affect the development of the storyline, and has another effect.
2. Indoor to outdoor, warm to cold, narrow to empty, happy to sad
The boy finished his father's assignment at home, and he was happy and fed the pigeons with bread crumbs. But when he went out to cross the frozen lake, and saw the puppy that froze to death next to the blank character, he felt sad. When he came back, he told his father about it and cried sadly. The picture displayed by the lens language is exactly the title of the above group of comparisons. Similar comparisons have appeared again and again.
3. The father comforted the son and poured a cup of hot tea
. The son asked what the death was, but the father could only explain what was the cause of death and what was the biological manifestation of death. Later, he answered that he could at least leave good memories for others after death, and the son was still sad. But Dad poured hot tea and reassured his son: Why do you think about this, you are still early.
The result was just the opposite, and the son died unexpectedly. In the icy world outside, my father could not rely on reason to measure, and my father hardly asked questions that reason could not prove or falsify. It's freezing and snowing outside, and a cup of hot tea in the house is just a drop in the bucket to soothe the hearts of children who are beginning to wake up.
4. After the aunt comforts the boy, the picture turns to the blank figure outside the fire. The
boy asks the aunt, does the Pope understand why people live? Aunt believes that being able to serve others, no matter how big or small, makes her feel at ease and happy, that is the meaning of life [Martin Luther King also said, if I can sing a song to appease a tired soul, I will also I feel that my life is not in vain], and then he talked about what God is. The aunt put her arm around the boy and asked how it felt. The boy said: I love you. Aunt said: This is the love of God.
But the picture immediately turned to the vast and cold outside, and the blank figures were burning with their backs to the camera.
According to Mr. Zhang Zhiyang's "On Occasional Presence", the religious meaning of "confession" (I believe in the existence of God) is always expressed as "serious" (God exists), so the boundary is actually unclear, resulting in many conflicting values, believers themselves in a world where the notion of "confession" is self-evident and self-evident. But the director's camera immediately turns to blank.
Dad relies on reason, and it was indeed analyzed by Mr. Xiaofeng. He believes that what he believes in is the arrogance of reason over God, but Mr. Xiaofeng’s foresight of Christian beliefs made him not critically analyze his aunt. In the classical era, there was " Wholeness, "essence", "ontology", and "occasional existence" are subordinate to "essence", and logically Christian belief is also a complete worldview, but after entering modern (or even post-modern), from Christian belief system to A certain political belief system has been hit unprecedentedly, and "occasional presence" is the norm. Of course, Confucianism in the past was also a complete set of values. Zhu Xi said, "If the world does not give birth to Zhongni, the eternity will be like a long night." Ancient China also had a strict system of values to settle people's spirits, but while these "confessions" were completely deprived and shattered, the feeling of "eternal time is like a long night" and "eternal time is like an ice cave" is more accurate modernity situation.
5. The boy asks his father "death" and his aunt asks "life".
This delicate structure is like a classicist analyzing two works of Plato. The "Phaedo" discusses the soul of life and death. The "Drinking Chapter" talks about love and wisdom, from the night feast to the dawn. The theme, structure, and time complement each other.
5. Dad lectures, and son peeps.
Dad talks endlessly. Imagine in the classroom that if there is a translator, it can use a lot of vocabulary for translation, and even further artificial intelligence, so that the translator has its own taste, hobby and so on. Is Dad's conception of making a superman out of human power or is he supposed to be a god who made superman? The son looks at his father, but he repeatedly sees his father through the gap of a certain frame. The camera will wink at the son for a while, and smile confidently at the father for a while. In fact, if you want to express your father's high image positively, you can shoot upside down to increase the brightness of the lamps. But the director prefers to shoot in a slightly comical way.
6. For skating, my father is still dedicated
Although Dad measured the pressure on the ice surface, he still went to the ice to test it himself in the middle of the night. During the day, he also warned the boy not to go to the confluence of the river, and pay attention to the distance of 15 meters from the river bank. But then the tragedy happened, even though Dad took several insurances. Man counts as God.
7. The image of the father who was looking for the boy everywhere but failed, and rushed out.
The camera at this time was to shoot him upside down. He was in a state of despair, panic, and hurried pace. The surrounding crowd occasionally flashed as the background, but it soon turned to shooting him. At this moment, his identity is the father himself, his rational defense and decoration are lifted, and at this moment, he shows a more instinctive state.
8. The candlestick was knocked down in the church, and the statue of the Virgin seemed to be dripping tears
. 9. A close-up of the father was photographed against the light.
