After watching this peaceful movie today, I am convinced that Ang Lee is still the Ang Lee who tells stories with his own eyes, even though it is a war movie. The emotions that this movie brought to me after watching it are the same as those of "Brokeback Mountain". Of course, this does not mean that the film is tender, but that the poetic parts of the two films are the same, with a sense of proportion and rhythm. It is the same, and the Chinese-style delicacy is the same.
What I admire most about Ang Lee is that he used the vision of making small-scale dramas in the past to make this big story (Ang Lee doesn't do this for all big stories, for example, "Youth Pie" is a little bit detached from himself. ), the increase in difficulty is not a star and a half. To use an inappropriate analogy, it's like trying out a long poem with the mature style of writing short poems.
I personally think that the content of this movie has maintained Ang Lee's consistent high level, and technically, the number of frames should be the icing on the cake. For a more precise conclusion, you need to watch 120 frames before you can answer.
I watched 3D with a normal frame rate, but I can probably judge that 120 frames is definitely not technology for technology’s sake (roommates said that 120 frames fits this story very well). Because the way the film tells the story is personal, it uses a lot of first-person point of view, and there are a lot of inner drama and facial expressions. Some people say that 120 frames can't enter the plot. I think they either don't understand it, or they don't like it. If they don't like it, they can't enter the plot even after watching 24 frames. This is of course normal. The flesh of this person and the poison of another person are just a pity at the box office.
As for the actor's performance, as if there was no performance, the charm of the man was easily captured by Ang Lee, and the details can be focused on the tense arteries in the neck when the gunshots rang. The actors don't seem to be wearing any makeup, it's as real as a documentary.
About the real content of the film, I don't want to say anything. Deciphering the content of a good film is as difficult as deciphering a poem, and it is not necessary. Only the same level of raving is worthy of a good film.
Ang Lee has always been a less intense director, but after watching his films, the audience suffered internal injuries. To say that Billy Lynn is a war movie or an anti-war movie is a misunderstanding; to say that it is a drama film and art film is close; but in essence, it explores the individual's place in the world, with others and relatives, with more The relationship between the vast world, and a person's existence in the world, the moment of possession, the loss of loss, and the eternal loneliness.
The problem it speaks is the core that all good movies will touch, whether it is a literary film or a sci-fi film, the place it takes us to is essentially the same as the tree in "Landscape in the Fog" and the tree in "Interstellar". A wall is no different.
