1. The space-time dialogue films constructed under the inner focus narrative are narrated in the first-person fixed inner focus. In narratology, perspectives are divided into three types: non-focusing, inner-focusing, and outer-focusing. Internal focus is when the narrator says only what a character knows. In "Breakthrough Venice", the narrative of the German composer Asenbach is used as the harness. The whole film uses his perspective as a window to show the audience the development process of the story.
According to the stability of the focus, the angle of view of the internal focus can be divided into three types, fixed internal focus, indefinite internal focus, and multiple internal focus. Fixed internal focus means that the event being narrated emerges through the consciousness of a single character, and it is characterized by the point of view that comes from one character from beginning to end. The trace of the beautiful boy Tacchio shown to the audience in the film is actually Asenbach tracking Tacchio. We see it from Asenbach's perspective. At this time, it is with Asenbach's subjective feelings, and we receive it as the receiver. As for Asenbach's narrative, this narrative is actually a narrative under the control of the author, which allows the audience to gain a sense of intimacy during the viewing process. This narrative mode fully opens up the inner world of the characters and expresses the characters vividly. of inner conflict and boundless thoughts.
It can be found in the film that there are two narrators "I", one is the experience subject "I" who follows Tacchio, and the other is the memory subject "I" recalling the past in the process of following Tacchio. The narrative of the memory subject "I" is mainly in two aspects, one is the memory of the debate with friends on art and its values, and the other is the memory of the self-satisfaction from the youth to the loss of the beloved daughter to the disappointment in the art career and finally the old body. decline.
Perfecting the composition of the objective environment of the collapse of the art world, the young and beautiful Tacchio, on the one hand, aroused the contradictory psychology of the conservative, upright and moral Asenbach, and on the other hand, it contrasts that Asenbach is now fascinated by the passing of time and youth. The grief and unwillingness no longer made him have a more persistent yearning for this young man.
2. The effect of art and beauty introduced by "Blank Spot" The film adopts a fixed internal focus narration. The whole film is based on Aerbach's senses to see and listen, so that the audience can feel Aerbach's inner activities more clearly. Such as Jets Ferrard's "The Great Gatsby", which uses the perspective of cousin Nick to meet Gatsby and witness the tragic love story between him and Daisy. In "Soul Broken Venice", we met a very special teenager through Aarbach's perspective, with ivory-like smooth skin and a gentle but not excessive smile on his face.
Keeping a close distance from Albach, even in the whole film, the two have no communication or contact. We only spy on this young man through Albach's inner world. For Albach, Tacchio at this time It was the light that suddenly flashed when he was desperate.
Tacchio is a representation of beauty, the art and beauty that Aalbach has been seeking. The English poet Keats once said: "Beautiful things are eternal joy." In this world, the most direct touch to the soul is beauty. Beauty can infiltrate a kind of inner joy and satisfaction in the imagination, and it is this beauty that makes Albach ignore the risk of the plague endangering life, and only for the first line of yearning and pursuit in his heart.
The juvenile actor in the picture is Burn Anderson, so the movie is called "the world's most beautiful boy", but the actor's real life experience is very rough.
