Compared with "Eavesdropping Storm" (also translated as "Other People's Life"), the film is more beautiful in the use of color, low-key light, and high-key light, especially the use of a large number of shadows, which is pleasing to the eye. However, from the perspective of the aesthetics of today's movies, the public's appreciation or exploration of movies still focuses on the characters in the movies. Movies that can move the audience must have characters that move the audience. The characters are obviously the shortcomings of the film.
Is it the director's problem? no. Probably in "Eavesdropping Storm", the problem of art and people was not explored enough, and the director completely let go this time. Based on the experience of the male lead, if it is normal, it must be embarrassment, suffering or sensation again and again. However, the director is only a little bit superficial in the process of exploring. The strong theme surging behind the downplaying characters, the immense desire for truth and self, this makes the 189-minute movie not at all distracting. It's a bit of selflessness.
Speaking less rigorously, movies generally have two major functions for the audience: to please and to guide the audience. There is no difference between high and low, and it is related to the theme of the movie. This point will not be discussed in detail. The film is biased towards guidance, so the focus is not to move the audience, but to think.
All obstacles on the path of seeking can be understated. But how to get the absolute experience of the truth and self? In a large number of random, meaningless, non-representative and extremely personal life experiences, everyone has a chance to get the key. The male lead tutor got it, grease and felt blankets.
At the peak of reality and self, it is easy to fall into endless darkness and nothingness. Just like the hero of the film, it seems that every step may be destroyed. For example, the possibility of existence: he could not spend his childhood trauma, did not have the opportunity to enter the Academy of Fine Arts, broke up with the hostess, was corroded by the superficial socialist creation, was framed by his classmates, his father-in-law’s old accounts were exposed...
Darkness and nothingness are sometimes more comfortable, but not charming, are they? It's just a fascinating thing or person, but it's too small and perishable.
Let’s talk about the ending of the first and last echoes. It can only be said to be general. From the perspective of the character performance, the memory of the aunt is true and credible, but the performance wants to express more of the experience of the truth and self. The hero chose to and The aunt's approach is the same. Obviously, this is in contradiction with his breakthrough in art. He should have his own approach. It is also somewhat incompatible with the overall style of the movie, and it has lost the sense of free and easy strokes.
The section of the male lead facing the blank canvas is short, but too real. I think anyone who creates has a similar experience.
You can't laugh, the sun helps you laugh;
You can’t yell, the waves yell for you;
You can’t sing, the birds sing for you;
You can't run, the wind will help you run;
You can’t dance, the jungle helps you dance;
You can’t live, the universe helps you live;
You are the world, you are freedom, and you are you;
Your work, free work, real work, world work, masterless work.
Most of the creation is just a catharsis, only when you know what you want to create, you will respect each other like guests and cherish words like gold.
I used to think less and write more, but now I think more, but write less.
I really want to experience the past creative way again, be loved by the words, and act recklessly, like a horse running off the rein, like a kiss on the wave, like a thin moon leaning against a window, like a smiling river man with stars, like a hundred birds singing through the forest... …
As shown in the movie, the body of the lover is the best place in the world.
