A little thought

Evie 2022-01-17 08:01:17



Everyone in "Hit blunt" lives in a non-utopian world so well, why are there so many people who are afraid of being assimilated and continue to make such works?

After thinking about it, maybe a lot of art itself comes from fear. People are afraid of being polished smooth and cornerless by time and surroundings, so they frequently try to show their angular personality while their consciousness is still alive.

Painters, directors, and composers, everyone is the same, all moving forward with fear.

I think of Van Gogh's starry sky map and the last words of 2 Pac in To Pimp a Butterfly.

It feels that the concept of utopia has also been distorted in these similar movies. A perfect society like a computer system probably doesn't exist at all, and it's all magnified as a projection of fear.

So should I take a sigh of relief or continue to be a frog with no water temperature in a hot pot?

Although it is not very pleasant after reading, but still deeply inspired.

    Too simple too naive! Lobster is much higher than this movie! Such stupid two people are not worthy of such precious forbidden love! I'm furious! This shot is basically a dynamic Nic photo album with so many close-ups!

    Use shallow focus to imitate "touch", use old-fashioned white clothes, gray walls, blue glass, Ambient+ classical music and cool to distorted color palettes (and very intuitively let the audience see the front and back changes of cool and warm colors) to create the so-called "frigidity" atmosphere. On the one hand, these tricks are indeed intuitive and effective, but on the other hand, it completely exposes the lack of the director's imagination. With this little creativity, it's not much better than THX 1138 40 years ago... Nicholas Hoult played a version of Romeo and Juliet after the "Warm Corpse", relying on a few familiar faces Actors are full of Samsung.
