Life is the ups and downs-"The Wave"
Let’s talk about the movie "The Wave" today.
The film title Waves (2019).
"The Wave" focuses the lens on two young agitated young people, full of youthful breath that is unique to young people, full of vitality and full of young people's joy, anger, sorrow and joy.
The film was also awarded the Best Film of the Year at the 91st National Critics Association Awards in 2019.
The male protagonist Tyler and the female protagonist Emily are the two brothers and sisters. The film is divided into five paragraphs according to the different frame ratios, telling the youth stories of the brothers and sisters respectively.
The older brother Tyler was originally a potential wrestler in the school. He was about to enter the university campus with a scholarship, but he committed a passionate crime. The two families have undergone tremendous changes as a result. Sister Emily lives under the influence of Tyler and has been unable to reintegrate into the new world that should belong to her.
The soundtrack and images of "The Wave" remind the audience all the time that this is a youthful movie that belongs to young people.
Frank Ocean, Kanye West, SZA, Kendrick Lamar, Amy Winehouse, and Tame Impala all sang in the film. In the original script, 45 original songs are planned to be included. The music budget on paper has reached 3 million US dollars, which is equivalent to the movie. Half of the budget. In the end, relying on the producer's money, "Inspur" presented the final soundtrack effect.
On the film screen, the use of color is also extremely radical and bold. It seems that this is what a restless young man should look like on the big screen. Various intense colors of red, yellow and blue appear occasionally and constantly change, which while making people feel garish, they also produce a unique sense of beauty.
The change of the film frame seems to be a rather interesting application technique, and literary films have a soft spot for it. Just like "Old People in Mountains and Rivers", the film also has three ratios on the frame, namely 1.85:1, 2.35:1 and 1.33:1.
The film is divided into five stages, and the frame change also changed from 1.85:1 to 2.35:1, then to 1.33:1, then back to 2.35:1, and finally back to 1.85:1. The proportions of the three frames appear in cycles, and the timing of frame changes is also closely related to the experience of the characters in the story.
Judging from the intuitive perception of the picture format, the wide format heralds a vast world, and youth means unlimited possibilities. The young people in the film seem to be able to wander freely in the vast world, and a bright future awaits young people to explore; while the narrow format It was full of cramped and oppressive feelings, from a vast world directly into a cramped and cramped space, as if the spirit of the whole person had been taken away, and only an empty shell was left to live in the world.
Tyler has turned his life into a dead end, and his step-by-step growth trajectory seems to have been unable to satisfy his restless nerves. When he encountered a setback in his smooth life, his whole life was not good. A small setback is like a pebble on a flat road, triggering an uproar through the butterfly effect.
Emily feels the opposite. The influence of her brother on the family will inevitably affect herself. I haven't enjoyed the feeling of holding the moon in the stars, but the feeling of life from the bottom of the valley seems to be good.
As shown in "The Wave", life is ups and downs. No one is good for a hundred days, and no one is good for flowers. Everyone must adapt to the laws of life.
After adapting to the law, life is like a wave, and everyone should be their own helm. Some people can take advantage of the power of the wave and use their strength to go to a more beautiful shore; some people may also follow the wave and fall into the abyss, sink into the undercurrent, and be broken to pieces. Instead of always thinking about saving others, you might as well redeem yourself first, and don't get caught in the quagmire of the tide.
What should I do? Tyler and Emily have already given the answer with their own experience.
Life ups and downs,
It's full of ups and downs.
