Way of Seeing?

First of all, I believe that millions of people say that the story of this movie is terrible about "love" (of course I also complained about this while watching it),

but if you return to this Faces in the Crowd, you will find this The title, isn't it echoing with John Berger-Way of Seeing?

"Individual and Mass", " Way of Seeing ".

How do you recognize a person?

Face, voice, behavior, all kinds of different ways.

But if we put a center on "vision".

Berger said: "Watching precedes language." We saw this person (first impression) before hearing his voice or even his actions.

Isn't the human face the way we objectively observe (or even recognize) each other? The

heroine's "face blindness" completely subverts this way of viewing.

Movies... viewers

1. If people we are familiar with are presented differently every time, and you can't even recognize your own face, how much will that affect our definition of watching?

2. Anna refers to the lack of human beings Face recognition ability, but maintain the same discriminative power of one's own things. Is this kind of viewing, or is it a complete viewing?

((You can refute that although Anna can't recognize the face, but she can't recognize the sound.
I think this is probably the biggest blind spot of the work.))

Viewer. .... Movie

3. (The mentality of the viewer), the mental journey in watching the movie is that at the beginning, we may subconsciously know that Lan is the murderer, but while watching, we keep avoiding what we see fact.

4. Features (the detective shaves off the beard) is also a major focus of this work. If the features we recognize no longer exist, is this person still the same person to you? (In terms of vision)

    If you can't recognize faces, you should be able to recognize human voices, right? ! Such a big flaw leaves the audience at a loss. The best way is to let Sister Mila put on a leather coat and take a submachine gun to sweep it all over! . . .

    It's a good idea, but unfortunately the director started to give up on himself halfway through, and his face was changing and he was messed up. Well, depicting the characteristics of characters other than the face is really a justifiable achievement. This is the most pitiful bad guy in history. In the end, it didn't make people feel cold and cold, but what did they meditate in their hearts... Qiao Vovich has worked hard to play vulnerable women, and the few scenes in the mirror can completely develop into ghost movies

Faces in the Crowd quotes

  • Dr. Langenkamp: Faces are the barcode of the human race. Ever since mankind went tribal, we're constantly looking at each others faces trying to decide whether they're friends, foes, or lovers. Don't underestimate the seriousness of your condition, Miss Marchant.

  • Dr. Langenkamp: Everyone always goes on about sight, hearing, smelling. But there's another sense. A hidden one. The Japanese call it mooka. It's the sense that allows you to walk without having to thinking about putting one foot in front of the other. You loose this sense and you will become like some of my other patients. Socially paralyzed, withdrawing from the world into the safety of isolation. That's a tempting option.

    Anna Marchant: I don't want that. I want to live normally.

    Dr. Langenkamp: Every day people are going to resent you for not recognizing who they are. They'll call you rude, forgetful, stupid, liar. Now, are you willing to fight back? With all your might?

    Anna Marchant: Yeah.

    Dr. Langenkamp: To try and try again without loosing heart. Without giving an inch!

    Anna Marchant: Yes.

    Dr. Langenkamp: Good. then lets get to work.
