The 3rd #法罗岛电影节# The 4th screening day of the main competition unit will bring you "Whale Circus", and here is the evaluation of the publication group!
H:
It's almost a movie strung together by long shots, and the shocking moments are accompanied by the soundtrack. In fact, I didn't understand it very well...but the scene scheduling and rhythm control of the whole film were done very well.
Gray cat:
This movie is very poetic.
The last time I said that the film was poetic should be "Patterson".
The two-hour film has less than forty shots in total. It is long, slow, and extremely elegant. With piano or violin accompaniment, the meaningful lines are not a long poem about society and human nature. Especially the first and last shots are wonderful and perfect.
The scheduling of horrible shots, a long lens holding + sliding rail + rocker can not help but feel that the photographers are all gods with three heads and six arms. What is presented in the screen is always what should appear most, and what is not presented is always what should be presented most immediately
No strong colors, no fancy dazzling skills. The black, white, gray, and solid sports shots that only rely on light and shadow to give us just drag the audience into the story. The picture structure is extremely rigorous, and a large number of cutting symmetry ensures visual stability. Through the natural contrast of black and white, a large number of "like frames" are created, and the smooth panning allows the light to show the texture of the picture. The most impressive is the first time the protagonist arrives in the square to see a whale (see Figures 1 and 2) The mass figures are like stone statues; the whale’s body arc is used to form a frame, which greatly compresses the visible space and puts the focus of the picture on the protagonist.
In addition, the actors in the film must be well versed in the true meaning of acting with their eyes. They can use their eyes to convey all the emotions you can think of: desire, caution, doubt, anger, sadness... Many lines in the shots are quite dramatic. The words and sentences are in place and full of affection. (Try your best to feel the emotion of Hungarian)
The film has reached a height that was unimaginable in previous films in terms of artistic attainments, and the period gap in art cannot be counted.
However, it must be reminded that some shots of this film are indeed a bit lengthy, and I hope you will watch them patiently.
Dawn of Snow:
The unconventional existence of whales and princes, the seemingly illogical behavior of the characters, massacres, and mental disorders. Panic at the end of the century? Cold war sequelae? Political terror? no idea.
Want to be you:
I don’t understand Hungary’s politics, history, and I don’t understand... The halving star, this soundtrack, and the long shots are super shocking. The most impressive beginning is to simulate a solar eclipse, and the whale at the end disappears in the fog (I don’t know why the eyes are a bit moist here) ), and a long shot of two people walking side by side in the middle. It was shocking.
Flying against the light:
I really like the footage and soundtrack of this film. At the end, the soundtrack of the old man slowly walking towards the whale is great. Although I don’t understand the political background, it’s okay to look at it from the perspective of the characters’ emotions.
Love you as a certain love:
The use of multiple long shots in the film is very shocking and amazing, and it is indeed a masterpiece. The black and white picture is also very beautiful, the scene scheduling is perfect, and the music is also very good. The story is very long and not very easy to understand. It is worth watching a few more times. I hope that after making up the history, I can digest the movie completely.
Xiaofeng and your waning moon:
As a genuine long-lens master, Tal has demonstrated his abilities with a scheduling beyond textbooks. The lens seems to exist in the air and is not bound by any boundaries (or in fact, the lens does not exist at all). Under the shockingly long shot, Tal gave the film a unique weight and sense of apocalypse, coupled with a compassionate soundtrack, you may have forgotten that you are just an audience, and at this time the camera has become your eyes. , As if the power contained in it can make you fall into the movie and struggle with the protagonist. The dead whale is more like a watcher, watching this silent world through its eyes, observing the dead souls. Among them are the collisions between the system, the rebels, the thugs, and the innocents. In the end, who has gained something from it is difficult to explain in history. The rest may be just a godless body.
Artistic youth love Quentin:
The expressiveness of a few long shots is too strong, and the use is superb. Even if there are too many metaphors without a complete understanding, I still feel a bit shocked.
