Regarding the criticism of "Sorry, We Missed You", one thing is "deliberate and too sad". I think this can be refuted by comparing the neorealism films of the 1940s and 1950s.
My guess is that Marquez, a writer who likes neo-realistic movies, has proved that he would obviously not agree with this kind of criticism. For realistic works like "Rome, Undefended" and "Bicycle Stealer", truth and detail are their necessities. No coincidence is not a drama. It only shows that people's ordinary lives are what non-fictional creations should do. It is meaningless to live in the cracks of society and live from birth to death under the burden of suffering. Only when there is a coincidence, there is a conflict with the social rules, the shortcomings of the society will be revealed.
Therefore, we will find that there are accidents everywhere in "Rome is not fortified". The ending of "The First Year of Deutschland" is undoubtedly oversold, and "The Bicycle Thief" builds the whole story on coincidence. We don't I would be surprised by this, how could this miserable actor be spotted by car thieves?
In these realistic works that emphasize truth and details, there is no coincidence to show the sad state of the people at the bottom. These coincidences are true in themselves. I think that friends who criticize the miserable sales of such films must be that their lives are too smooth and have not really seen human tragedies. In some countries, because of poverty, the diet cannot be guaranteed to be green, pollution-free and healthy. There is a high probability that cancer will find people there, and the incidence is concentrated, and family members who take care of patients are more likely to encounter car accidents. In some countries where the management system has collapsed, fowl and swine fever are often uncontrollable, the air conditioner will really fall in the sky, and the ground will really collapse. In ruined Berlin, people's lives are actually many times worse than movies.
Based on the content of these films, when portraying the style of neorealism, Visconti believes that “new realism is primarily a content issue.” They are anti-war, depicting the bottom, anti-poverty, and anti-employment, and are full of compassion. Behind their coincidences, there are still reflections and needles on the current social ills.
We know that some neo-realistic films are not even that outstanding in terms of skills, and will not cause a certain impact on the audience. However, they are still told by audio and visual. It is the first guarantee of the camera to capture the details to the maximum and maintain the sense. Things.
Neorealism is not a genre in the technical sense. Great movie style genres should and always be defined by content. Just as the impressionist painters appeared earlier than the name "Impressionism", impressionism was ironic at the time and was not a good word. The first thing they were criticized by French celebrities was that these painters aimed their paintbrushes at the dirty peasants and the countryside. This was intolerable by the French upper class at the time. The walls were painted by the Fontainebleau School. Religion, celebrities, palaces and aristocratic life.
Inspiring nourishment from the British free film movement, Ken Roach has focused his lens on the bottom people since the early 1970s. He has obviously become the spokesperson of the British working class. In his works, truth is the first. Truth is not equal to sensationalism. If we don’t pay attention to the plot, and when we look at Ken Rock’s shots, we will find that keeping his sense is the point he always pays attention to. After a lot of noisy drama conflicts, the actor will be very clean and fast. Switch to another quiet scene to continue to show the heroine's state.
It is easy for us to see scenes in our lives in movies like this based on reality. Therefore, many people are full of prejudice against stories based on reality, and "reality" has also become a point of criticism.
For the realistic stories of contemporary people, contemporary audiences are not their best audiences. The best viewers are those who live in a time when society enters another stage in the future, but are still connected to this moment, because for reality, distance is the best filter, just like we look back now The "big boring film" after World War II is generally, for us in the shadow of World War II, it is undoubtedly shocking, moving, and directly hitting the heart.
