I remember many years ago that Master Chen said that the best film directors in the future will come from the advertising industry. At that time, I hadn't seen Roy Anderson's short films, and I was still practicing swimming in the bitter sea of the advertising industry. Of course, the rhythm of his 25-year mushroom production made me miss the "Singing from the Second Floor" in 2000, let alone "Man, Why Are You" in 2007. These films and short films that have amazed the film industry all over the world were born in the hands of an old man who looks like the characters in his films. The Nordic man's sensual and insensitive appearance hides a sensory radar as slender as a butterfly's tentacles. What is terrible is that the rhythm of his short film is so slow that Chinese advertisers and filmmakers who believe in "fast fish eat slow fish" are dumbfounded. Just after graduating in 1970, he filmed the Nordic version of "Two Little No Guess" - "Swedish Love Story", which won the fourth prize at the Berlin Film Festival. It was only made into "Kilia by the Sea" five years later. The box office poison of that year became a secret garden used by movie fans to show off: Have you seen this? Better than his teacher Ingmar Bergman!
Even his teacher, Ingmar Bergman, said his commercials were great. Anderson began to shoot commercials in 1969, and his style has been developed since then. For example, "Singing from the Second Floor" has a total of 60 scenes and 60 long shots, and "Why Are You" consists of 50 long shots. The scene studio is built, "Han Zhi Que Jing" has a total of 39 scenes and 39 long shots. The best people in every industry in the world only account for 5% of that industry, and if you enter this 5% club, you will find that the guys in it are crazy. When I thought that the Nolan brothers in the United Kingdom were too serious, Cameron, who has been sharpening his sword for ten years, is still polishing his "Avatar 2", and it took four years to complete the 39 long-lens scenes. Anderson, not the most paranoid, only more paranoid. This madman's world was born for mortals to worship. Fight with a work until it is said by critics that it has reached the realm of flawless. Anderson completed his 39 exquisite human nature advertisements with this kind of stubbornness. If the characters in those pictures are still, you can also say that it is an oil painting, a masterpiece of neo-expressionism.
The master oil painting at 24 frames per second is the result of Roy Anderson's many years of shooting commercials. The masterpiece "The Hunter in the Snow" created by the Dutch painter Bruegel in 1565 is said to be the inspiration for the film. Doves perched on the treetops like the eyes of God, watching the people on the ground covered in snow. Work hard. "The pigeon is standing on the top of the tree, it is reflecting on a problem, it has no money." Anderson incarnated as a fat little girl and took the initiative to ask to perform a poetry reading, and twisted the eyes of the whole poem. Two living dead salesmen, whose faces were smeared, said with tortoise speed and tortoise fur: We are in the entertainment industry. And then pull out the not-so-smiley-tooth-extended zombie mask and the classic laugh pocket, these two Nordic dummies and dummies trudging through the cold Swedish streets peddling entertainment products, if Joyce's "Ulysses" turned a man's day into a lifelong adventure for a man abandoned by his wife, and Anderson could turn Odyssey into two best-friend salesmen. "I find the meaning in ordinary life through common and seemingly ordinary situations. We have seen neorealism and absurd movies. Today, I want to introduce 'trivialism'." This meaning may be in that lame tavern The female boss sings "Give me a kiss for your glass of wine," or exists when a salesman has a nightmare and asks his old partner: Is it okay for people to use others for their own amusement? Or it exists in the women who can't stop crying in the face of the defeated emperor.
In the birch forest, pigeons are flying, and under the birch trees, the cold bodies of young people are buried.
