Long shots make the passage of time particularly real .
Stepping on the high weeds on the soles, carefully walking forward step by step, along the edge of the pond, with the barbed wire attached to the hand, which was pierced, took a breath, frowned, and violently retracted his hand, blood flowed down the palm, time The reality brought by the passage of time is as if I were walking side by side with the protagonist.
The movie was watched a few days ago, so there may be some memory errors, so I just plan to briefly analyze the director 's control of the rhythm under the premise that the film is in the end . How to make a war film not be too noisy because of fighting, nor too quiet because of the protagonist sneaking in the wilderness.
All of the following contains spoilers.
The movie begins when the protagonist happens to rest under a tree with his friends. Time flows slowly and quietly .
The friend is assigned a task, the protagonist happens to be involved, and the two walk through the long trench. The pace is getting faster , the two arguing, and they meet many people on the way.
The two set off and walked to the high ground, the atmosphere was tense, there was no one around, and the pace was very slow. Quiet again .
Entering the enemy camp, I was still very nervous. I was afraid that the enemy would not leave and the pace was slow .
Mouse trigger the explosion, the place is falling, the protagonist is a friend pulled pulled out of the red, rhythm anxious .
The two are safe, inspect the house, quiet .
The plane crashed and the two rescued the enemy pilots. The other party was seriously injured. The protagonist rushed to catch the water. When he turned his head, the friend had been stabbed by the opponent, drew his gun, and shot. The protagonist hugged the dying friend and promised to complete the mission. Find a friend brother. This segment has several transitions from urgency to urgency .
The protagonist got on the car of another unit. The tires of the midway car fell into mud. The protagonist got off the cart. No one wanted to help. The protagonist shouted and pleaded, and finally got support from others. The convoy set off again, and the protagonist separated from them. It is still the transition of Xiaoyu-Xiaoyu-Xiaoyu , and the time lapse is well controlled, which makes people feel real and not too procrastinated.
After the protagonist got out of the car, a man embarked on the journey again, entered the town, was shot when crossing the bridge, confronted the gun, entered the house, went upstairs, confronted the gun again, rolled down the stairs, and fell into a faint. This period is relatively tense and the protagonist is exposed to danger, but in fact the protagonist in the scene is only a person most of the time. Even though he was fighting another person, he could only see a window, but not the other person, and there was no other person around. The rhythm is tight, but not fast . The tension does not arise from the grand battle scene, but from the reality. The fainting setting is very clever , allowing time to pass in the fainting, without affecting the end of the shot, and you can directly cut into the night scene when you wake up .
At night, running wildly among the ruins of the house, and occasionally found by others, running wildly to avoid hunting and design. The lighting effect of this segment is very dreamy, in line with the protagonist's brain injury when he fell down the stairs. The ruins are quiet in a sense of unreality , or the decadence and unreality of war. It is still a combination of dynamic and static, with equal urgency .
After that, there was an extremely long silence. The protagonist strayed into the residence of a girl and a baby while avoiding the pursuit. The protagonist explained that he was here to help them, but they talked because of language barrier. The little baby listened to the protagonist singing. The surroundings were very quiet and the rhythm was slow. , Is a great silence and slowness in the movie .
The protagonist hears the bell and knows that he must go on the road again, bid farewell, continue to run, avoid pursuit, and meet a drunk German soldier and a young soldier, fight, escape, run, gunshots, continue to run, and run to the end, Jump into the water. It is still a combination of movement and static. Sometimes the protagonist seems to be safe, but soon he is in danger. You only know that the protagonist is going to escape. The incident itself is very tense, but occasionally it slows down, but you know that the protagonist is not safe now. The rhythm is well controlled. Constantly switching between hurriedly .
The protagonist literally followed the crowd, was washed down the waterfall, climbed ashore, and walked in the forest. When he encountered a group of British troops, someone was singing, the protagonist sat down and listened to the song with everyone. This was the last noticeable silence until the end of the movie . The rhythm was noticeably slow. The camera moved away from the protagonist, swept through the rows of sitting soldiers, and then swept back to the protagonist. Very quiet and peaceful .
The protagonist realizes that he has arrived at the army he wants to find. They will soon fall into the trap of the German army. Time is not in a hurry. The protagonist has to push away the layers of the crowd and keep moving forward. His weapons and backpack had long been lost. He was trapped in the crowd, but marched forward alone, chasing time. Going through the trenches, turning, and asking where Colonel MacKenzie is, usually no response is received. Going forward, turning, being blocked, disregarding, going forward, obviously already shaky, but insisting on going forward, the fight begins, it will be too late It's tense. The rhythm is very tight and anxious. It's already very close to the goal, but it still can't reach it.
The protagonist found Colonel MacKenzie, but the colonel refused to listen to him. The protagonist took out the letter, but the colonel ignored it. Tensions and eager tensions piled up and piled up, and finally released , the audience breathed a sigh of relief.
The protagonist begins to look for his friend's brother. Compared with the previous paragraph, the rhythm is slower , but the tension still exists. I don't know if the brother is still alive. The camera scanned many wounded, soldiers came and went, military doctors kept walking, and wounded crowds were everywhere. The truth and cruelty of the war are vividly revealed in these few minutes of footage. Compared to before, the pace is indeed much slower.
I found my brother, and the two talked. Very heartbreaking dialogue. Very slowly , the breathing and silence between each sentence are truly displayed, and the emotional fluctuations and struggles are not anxious, they are very real .
The protagonist is alone, has completed all the tasks, walks under a tree, and sits down.
As at the beginning.
Quiet, slow, cut to the black mirror.
The movie ends.
Before that say say say are fragmented, and then boils down to this, the director of the rhythm control very well , with a mirror in the end of the technology to match the presentation of the scene is very real , urgent delay between the conversion is particularly clever , Let the audience be in tension all the time, with a strong sense of substitution .
