three monkeys

As Turkey's brilliant film this year, "Three Monkeys" has far more directing skills than "Slumdog Millionaire" I watched yesterday or the day before yesterday.

See no evil, speak no evil, and listen to no evil. Like "three monkeys", this family of three hides the secrets of themselves and others in the depths of their hearts: "Don't see, don't listen, don't tell" Inability to suture. The drowning young son is the most difficult pain for the family to ignore. Although the three of them don't mention it, it is the most fundamental reason for the family's sorrow. Whether you should watch it, listen or not, you have seen it, heard it, and said it.

The director's camera position is astoundingly accurate. Eighty percent of the shots in the movie were done in this tiny house. I don't know where he found the little house, after the railway is the road, and after the road is the sea. The train always passes by at just the right time (the director is really accurate), and the sound of the clack and clack perfectly complements the expressions of the hero and heroine. At this time, the camera position is just right to capture their faces, close-ups or medium shots, and the inner activities are the least. Well done, but the director did a great job. The film adopts a method similar to the dogma movie, without the use of soundtrack, and the sound of the train sounding at the right time is the best soundtrack of the film.

The heart-to-heart conversation between the mother and son is placed by the tea table in front of the window, with the sea outside. Backlight shooting has always been a shooting skill that tests the photographer's ability. The director uses the backlight to put the characters in the shadows, which is in line with their "don't see, don't listen, don't talk" life. In the son's room, living room, bedroom, bathroom, the characters walk in several different small spaces, and they can take accurate long shots.

I love the use of film perspective. It's especially clear when the camera is a bystander and when the camera is the character's eyes. When the camera becomes the character's eyes, we seem to become the character and become sad.

The story of the film is very simple. This is a film that is completely won by the actors' acting skills and the director's shooting. However, the last five minutes of the plot still shocked me. I started to like watching this kind of movie, as if the internalized delicacy can touch my heart more.
