"Time never dies, the circle is not round."
Because time is as eternal as motion, and the circle drawn by the rotating pointer under the image of time will never end. The starting point and the ending point of the circle are coincident. In this way, the pointer that moves forward together with the eternal time, because the point without pause can never coincide with the starting point. Then there will always be an unfinished circle that exists.
The beginning of the film is like a flowing oil painting unfolding, a gorgeous textbook that can be used as a photographic color and composition. (I'm obsessed with screen layout and framing these days.)
There are three subtitles throughout the film—"Language," "Face," and "Photography," each of which unfolds a story. Wonderfully they form a circle, the development of the plot follows each other, and the latter happens after the former. The story of "photos" is the prelude to the story of "language", which is full of small related elements. Watching a movie is like looking for treasure.
For example - in story A, there is love between people of different languages, in story B they become still photos; in story B they speak the same language and hug each other closely, in story C they can't because of language Communicate with each other. Someone escaped in the C story, and met a lover in the A story.
The director showed us a surreal painting. In an orderly time, the actions of various characters interact with each other to create various tragic consequences. And just exploring the consequences will be overwhelmed by the inescapable reality. It was the end of life, the bullets smeared the blood into the mark of their death, and the bodies that stopped breathing hid on the ground. But if you focus on the beginning of the story, they are still alive, surrounded by warm love.
Looking at it this way, "Heavy Rain is Coming" is like a child's prank. It solemnly tells you that the rainstorm is about to hit, the thunder and lightning are violent, the raindrops are violently smashed, the pits are visible to you, and people are also wet. But in the end, the ambiguous plot, the plot like a dream but not a dream, he made you dizzy again. So, by the end of the movie, are you still wondering if the rainstorm is coming? It seems that everything happened before the rainstorm...
"The Rainstorm Is Coming" is the perfect tense of the eternal future...
Combining icy slaughter and scorching love, watching the fragrant roses being chewed by tigers, is much more brilliant than the blood on the screen, or eating raw human flesh. This is the difference between art and craftsmanship.
Regarding the characters related to the film, director Mirko Manchevsky won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Rad Shebodziga, who plays Alexander, won the best actor at the Venice Film Festival. What surprised me was that this movie turned out to be Mirko's first film work, and also the first film after the founding of Macedonia. The film is protected by the government of that country and does not allow other countries to distribute the film on DVD. I can see that it is really TOEFL.
Maybe the role of Alexander is too heavy, but I like Gregor Colin who plays the priest.
He is the first character to appear in the film, the Orthodox priest Kirill, with a young and handsome face, focused eyes, and plucking vermilion fruits. When Shamiva with thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly appeared in his room, he screamed again and again, his eyes shook, and he looked like a weak chicken. Before he left alone, he was still gulping at Shamiva's gray bare feet, and in my heart I despised what a young man could do to a little boy. When he returned to the room, he put down five tomatoes behind Shamiwa, who was lying on his side on the floor. Shamiva took two and devoured them. Moonlight through the glass at the head of the bed pulls out the white frame on the wall and floor. , in the dim room, Kirill, the bed and the shadows were mixed into a pile of black, and Shamiva, in a green T-shirt, sat on her back and nibbled tomatoes. The red fruits on the floor were wrapped in moonlight and reflected light spots. This can really make a warm, romantic and somewhat playful comic cover.
When the gunmen in the film aggressively went to the church to search for a girl who killed someone, I also carefully observed whether Kirill was disguised as a man. I still have a little bit of a grudge about Gregor. It was the first time I saw a man who was more handsome than a woman in one shot, and the gender of the characters was confused.
Any word related to history, war, human nature, equality, any one can make the scissors cut out another book.
When I saw that "Heavy Rain is Coming" is about a story that happened in Macedonia, I guessed that the director would not be so heavy. So I hesitated before watching.
Sitting in front of the computer and watching it quietly, no matter how shocked I was, I couldn't feel the same despair and longing. The resonance still needs the same frequency, not to mention that I have to use tape to cut my fingers. For some tragic things, we only express sympathy, say a dry "condolences and change", and walk away and continue our lives. Well, I'm pessimistic again.
Afterwards, I carefully read some relevant comments, but when I saw that it was more about the analysis of the plot and details, and when I saw such professional words, I only remembered that moment of confusion and guesswork.
Seen and deleted with the exception: this movie will stay on my computer for a long time, because for me, who is completely uninspired by photography, duplicating these compositions can also bring out some beautiful pictures in my camera.
