am a little tired of studying recently. I can only provide a few thoughts for your reference: 1. The ambient sound is the distinctive and outstanding part of the whole film. During the dispute between the mother and the son, the sound of chanting is far away. The echo sound presents an atmosphere that is both realistic and magical. The car that disappeared in the dark at the beginning of the film, as the green light gradually moved away, a sharp brake sounded, the clip ended, and the rain fell. The sound of water ticked from time to time, seeming to present a call of memory (dead brother), and a connection with the sound of rain.
2. Albert Camus once claimed: "There is only one real and serious philosophical problem, which is suicide." Such an existentialist argument can almost be applied to the three protagonists. First, the son who shuttles on the train tracks. , So that the audience has doubts about his safety. Mother was on the balcony thinking about jumping downstairs, but was stopped by her father. Finally, a long lens was used to bring out the dark flowing clouds in the sky. We could hardly see the father's face, the rain fell, and the structure was neat and beautiful.
3. What I have to talk about is the sound bridge, and the multiple meanings that follow. Let’s talk about the parliamentarian and the mother outside the door. Before that, we heard this ringtone when they met. Then we used the locked door to enhance the audience’s speculation about the affair. Finally, the outdoor mother used the ringtone to cut the scene. When the father was hesitantly outside the bathroom, the sound of water was gurgling (calling again). The ringtone is not just a bridge, but a continuation of a mental state. From this scene to the next, the mother is still immersed in a certain emotion.
4. Multiple and complex images, from the sound of water, bells, to the sound of chanting, are mainly sound processing. The most interesting image is the title of the three monkeys, which has never appeared in the film. The three monkeys, English translation of Three Wise Monkeys, comes from the Analects tradition: "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." The above picture shows the sculpture of Toshogu Shrine in Nikko, Japan. However this
A'Wise' is very moral. What we see from this explanation is not derogation, but a manner of etiquette. In order to maintain etiquette and family stability, the protagonists in the film may not watch, listen, or speak, but like the audience, they are not ignorant. The falsity and coldness of the false (man-made) good are the terrible things.
5. However, who are the three monkeys who don't listen, watch, and speak? Thinking backwards, who is the subject of listening, speaking, and seeing? Judging from the language of the camera, the son is the most obvious viewer (taken from the first-person shots of the two acts of the congressman, coupled with the appearance of the younger brother), but he is unwilling to listen to his mother, and he is unwilling to expose his father. Open the truth. From the perspective of sound processing, the mother is the teller, and all the opening actions such as feelings and borrowing money are done by the mother. My father is a listener. From the beginning of listening to the congressman telling the story, to being locked up in jail, he can only understand the situation by his voice. Perhaps this kind of role configuration can be used as a footnote to this film, but more often, they take turns to be the three monkeys.
6. Strange scenes should be made without opening but making a sound (monkey?), son's vomiting (expressing discomfort with the reverberation speed of the sound), two appearances of younger brother (strange sound of light and water, the floating door reminds me From Tarkovsky's "Mirror", the memory is also recalled.) as a representative.
7. The feeling of alienation brought about by the interspersed long shot (Long Shot) need not be discussed. The unmentioned plot hidden behind the camera is suspicious. The tone contrasts with the turbulent and strangely colored waves. The rapid flowing clouds may be regarded as The flow of psychological time, these skills deserved their name, Nuri Bilge Ceylan won the best director of Cannes.
