The benefits of tireless attempts [fear and desire] failed to pay the sponsor’s money, but this did not prevent Kubrick from continuing his filming plan. He still managed to make his second feature film [Killer [The Kiss] still got the old partner Howard Sackler to write the script, which became Kubrick’s last film with an original script. Dissatisfaction with [Fear and Desire] did not affect Kubrick’s exploration of form in the slightest. As he said, “A truly creative person will not be bound by the existing framework”, so although [ The story of Killer’s Kiss is a bit weak, and the actor’s performance is quite lame, but he still relies on his bold and unique lens language to prevent it from being reduced to a "three noes" movie without plot, performance, and aesthetics. Peeping and looking down the movie title "Kiss of the Killer" is like a guessing game played by Kubrick and the audience. Who is the killer? What is the killer kiss? Adding the monologue at the beginning of the film makes the story more suspenseful. The way the heroes and heroines appear in their apartments is exactly what James Stewart uses in the [rear window]-peeping. Through the perspectives of the two, we can spy on the layout and details of their rooms, and the two are extremely similar. , Longing to be noticed, the camera was an indifferent bystander for many hours afterwards, watching these two lonely frustrated people come together, watching the primitive impulse that lured them to snuggle up to each other brought them unexpected The catastrophe. Whether it’s [Fear and Desire] or [Kiss of Killer], Kubrick’s photography has maintained his consistently high standard. The experience of shooting [Fighting Day] gave Kubrick a great harvest. The ten-minute documentary showed people the life of a boxer on the day of the match. He can be seen as the "Kiss of Killer" Ridai The prototype of Wei's character, even the action of rubbing the tip of his nose in front of the mirror is exactly the same as in [Fighting Day], plus the shot of the sitting contestant's crotch shooting the opposite hand, which is enough to prove that Kubrick is deep. Know how to produce and sell. The boxing scene adopts the method of close follow-up, coupled with the subjective perspective that switches from time to time, you can feel the swift and powerful punching, the block dodge when being hit, and the unwillingness when looking at the referee and the ceiling after being knocked down. , The strong sense of presence seems to make people smell the sweat on the two players. Unlike the protagonist in [Fighting Day], David lost the game. From this point of view, the upside-down shot actually has other meanings (because in that documentary, the upside-down shot is The ultimate victor, and [Kiss of the Killer] was shot from under David’s crotch. David’s failure was actually doomed from the beginning), this way The setting of not only continues Kubrick’s realist sentiment, but also makes David’s plot of Gloria because of loneliness and loneliness more convincing. And from the end of David ran to the end of the street, until the long shot looking for the escape door on the top of the building, the movie shows the insignificance of people in the environment, towering buildings and empty streets. , Kubrick’s lens records David’s embarrassment from the perspective of Tathagata molesting Monkey King. Freedom and restraint. In addition, Kubrick’s meticulous arrangement can be seen in the scene where David answered the phone: he was in a daze in the dark, and then lowered his head in frustration, when the lights came on (the opposite Ge Loria, she was not doing well), as the theme music sounded, Gloria began to undress, and then David’s uncle called from Seattle. In order to continue to pay attention to Gloria’s every move, Dai Wei held the phone in front of the mirror, and he could see David who was calling and Gloria in the mirror at the same time. When the call ended, the lights in Gloria's room also dimmed. This shooting method that does not highlight the focus of the movie completely leaves the decision to set the focus to the audience. Another similarity in the movie is the section where Gloria tells her own story. Outside the painting is Gloria's chanting, and in the picture is a ballet performance by her sister. Soon after the movie started, the hero and heroine left the apartment together and met downstairs. Together with Vincent who was waiting outside, the three met for the first time at this time. This was the starting point of Vincent's self-destruction (journalism). It was also David's opinion. The beginning of Gloria's unforgettable mind (and causing trouble to the upper body), the fate of both of them was changed because of the complex emotions of Gloria. Gloria is a symbol that represents all things that cause human irrational emotions. "Kiss of the Killer" is like the nightmare they carry, and Kubrick used Gloria to express his usual compassion. And the seemingly reunion ending actually smeared the story with a strong blackness: Gloria came to the station to Seattle and gave a kiss to David who was just about to get on the bus. It seems that Dai Wei couldn't break free of the fateful bond after all. Published in the March 2014 issue of "Watching Movies Midnight Show" David was in a panic. Freedom and restraint.
