Ancient absurdity, elegant distortion

I am not a fan of Star Wars, and most of the series I have seen scattered have no impression. Not to mention dull, it is only to the extent that it is more than nothing. There is something special about this rumor, and it also makes me wonder why the upper Star Wars blockbuster The Force Awakens is so awkward.

Because the science fiction in Star Wars is completely wrong, it is ridiculous from a modern perspective, but it is not ridiculous to the level of heresy, and it is not attractive enough for me. Therefore, this kind of background setting must be balanced with a sense of stage-like distortion. The actors voluntarily become sacrifices on the fictitious stage, so we do not insist on reality. It can't be the neatness of modern movies, otherwise the explanation won't work. Who would really believe in a black technology that has to rely on a claw machine to take out a broken hard disk copy so hard?

So that ancient sense of distortion proves that the director’s idea is right. Star Trek and The Force Awakens are ugly and ugly as they are as thrilling as other modern blockbusters. However, when the audience sees the absurd and naive sense of science and technology, You can't get tense anymore, if you insist on getting tense, it won't be convincing.

I have never understood the creative background of Star Wars. I should have referred to Asimov and Shakespeare. However, the scientific foresight of the former is not retained at all, leaving only the empty shell of the cosmic empire, while the latter, the star The love, hatred and enmity in the war seems to be a childish imitation of Shakespeare, much like the imagination of the childhood transition to Secondary Two. It is true and does not seek to understand. But it becomes interesting to pay tribute to the ancient feeling and childishness with modern technology.

We saw the camera turning around the corner, the villain came out slowly with a gun, and made a rhetoric that could become an aria, and then was shot to the ground by the male protagonist. There was no tension in the whole process and no blood could be seen. This is special In the old way, directors are not yet proficient in using movie lenses to create tension. The clumsiness that needs to be turned is more suitable for stage-style performances.

In this Star Wars, the sense of tension is weakened, the Hollywood-style life hanging by a thread is weakened, fights and deaths have a strong sense of antiquity, my favorite is the last few dozen minutes, the characters one after another To die, there is no emptiness and impermanence emphasized by modern movies. They die very calmly, decently, fulfillingly, and causally, just like classical drama, showing destiny's respect for people.

The performance of the leader of the extreme rebels was excellent, abnormal and suspicious, and the twitching of his face accurately conveyed the fate of great sadness that the character had given to the stage before. The blind warrior passed his faith to Jiang Wen. Jiang Wen accepted his idea, and finally glanced at the dead blind friend, who was engulfed by the flames of the explosion.

In the final game, the undead villain wakes up, looks to the sky on a high platform, and understands his destiny before everyone else. This is very elegant. The male and female protagonists do nothing to do nothing to connect and kiss, but embrace and become a partner to meet the common destiny. This connection is closer and more elegant than the relationship between people.

It seems that when you look at the clouds, you are very close to me, and when you look at me, you are far away from me. If they kiss at this time, they will become the hormonal connection between people, and they will lose the atmosphere that does not require any bondage, and that they are closely connected as long as they wait for the fate to come together, and this kind of ancient temperance, also Consistent with the temperament of the movie.
