Last year I saw only 4 real works in the English department: Letterhead Story, Annihilation, Vice President and Voice of Light. It’s very strange that these four movies have a common feature, that is, they are superficially unfavorable. At first glance, there is nothing to move or sympathize with. Moreover, the most deadly is that the potential to bias people is very Many, you need to be vigilant at all times. After all, the majestic power of the hidden emotions is worth noting, otherwise you are either dull or narrow-minded.
The emotional chain in the Sound of Light is outstanding here. The characters don’t need you to inject cheap emotions. You can watch Portman’s adult state with cold eyes. This is the essence: the trivial storyline has helped us do all the indexing work. This is a surviving under a tragedy. This is a symbol of strength to the people of the whole country. The emotion you need to inject is not for the fake protagonist, but for the symbolic meaning at the social level. It is her social role to be sympathetic to, at least this will satisfy herself: we all hope that we are a person with the world in mind. The full screen of irony and contrived seduce the deepest sympathy, we watched with cold eyes, and then smiled, this is helpless. This is also a warning to your behavior in the future.
I really like the structure of Brad Corbett's play. Although what I have been talking about is the infinite praise for continuous emotion, but he can obviously grasp the reason for doing so. Because here, emotions are not for the characters, the most important thing is to explain, and it is even more subtle to use some emotional lines to explain. In layman's terms, it is not hypocrisy or pretending to be the protagonist of justice, but the society and the world that should panic. You shouldn't blame the film for the split before and after, you should ask yourself why the film is split before and after.
You should even ask yourself why a comment can be so irresponsible, and what is hidden in it.
