Let's see, the story takes place in a monastery in North Africa and revolves around eight monks.
The priest and the local residents mix together, live together, and have fun together. The world of humans and gods is unfolding in harmony, because the local residents also regard these monks as gods and pay attention to the dialogue; their relationship with the villagers is the relationship between the big tree and the little bird. This is also the reason why these priests stayed behind when the crisis came.
Male: I noticed that you mentioned the use of the lens. The camera position was placed in the middle of the church many times. It did not use push, pull, pan, or follow-up. It can be said that the operation is very simple. Why?
In fact, it should be easy to understand, because people do not randomly shuttle and walk around in places like churches, so no matter from anyone’s perspective, including the audience, the film should not follow the priest’s footsteps with the lens, and chaos in the monastery. What kind of style you are in, you just wait there!
Female: Oh, it makes sense, solemnly! I remember many such as "Ada's Choice" and "Under The Peony", there are no fancy shot scheduling.
Yes, it is actually based on this consideration! So don't think that this is because the shooting technique is rough, the teacher teaches you that the flower life is completely useless here!
We found that every time we encountered a problem, these eight monks often held roundtable meetings, and voting was a common method used by everyone. So voting means choice and equal rights. Everyone has the right to express their opinions. Everyone can express their opinions. We must have the right to choose. This is the focus of this film.
Woman: Yes, everyone discusses the issue of whether to stay.
I want to add two concepts to facilitate the analysis of the subject. 1 God and Man 2 Divinity and Humanity The
priests live in harmony with man. They heal the villagers, rely on the villagers, and are the relationship between the big tree and the little bird. In fact, it is the relationship between God and man, which is a symbolic technique. At a critical juncture, these clergy also returned to possess human attributes.
Let's talk about humanity and divinity.
God created man in his own way, then God gave mankind two qualities, divinity and humanity, divinity is love and forgiveness, and humanity is often closer to animality, cruelty, timidity, seven emotions and six desires... two completely different Character, for you to choose, what kind of person to be, and what kind of person to keep. It can also be understood that human nature includes divine nature and animal nature, and two evenly matched qualities are in your body.
The reason why I interpret it this way is because I found that when the crisis comes, a lot of the plot of the film revolves around two words: choice to unfold, so the theme must be hidden in it.
According to the four-dimensional analysis method, I will never take the subject out of context. I have to corroborate each other, with a large amount of evidence, first persuade me, and then persuade the audience.
Look at these pictures, everyone, when praying, the priests are sitting side by side looking at each other. The large number of close-ups and layouts in this film are actually a life-or-death choice, fear or bravery. In fact, humanity and divinity are diametrically opposed, colliding and choosing. Stand on both sides separately, always, evenly matched, against the ritual
girl: You mean, these pictures refer to the struggle between divine and human nature!
That's right! All made difficult choices in the dark!
Male: Well, everyone will be afraid when encountering these thugs, and the villagers are also shaking, but they hope to be with God at this time.
Everyone remember: the more people are in a difficult situation, when they can't see the future and the bright, the easier it is to be shaken and confused! At this time, the more faith and guidance are needed, and God must play a pointing role at this time!
Later, we saw that after the terrorists appeared, there were dangers everywhere. The close-up: the howling bulldozer and the weak priest who couldn't see hope, we can see the contrast between the strengths and weaknesses of the two.
There are also helicopters, iron hooves, and the city under the muzzle. Whether it is a terrorist or a US military, the current monastery is recognized as a place where the light of God cannot be irradiated, and there is no hope. At this time, the helicopter appeared, and these priests called it the light. It was the hand of God. In the crisis, it shows that human beings are blind, they are beginning to be at a loss, the attributes of God are drifting away, understandable, because at this time they can't see anything outside the world, they think that the partner is coming and the people who support them are coming, that must be It is the light.
At the end of the film, when the priests unanimously adhere to their beliefs to be with God and decide to stay at their homeland, they become gods again...
and there is a second collision and confrontation between man and God. At this time, man Those who have the upper hand, that is, these terrorists, at this time, they are basically animalistic in their bones, and there is no concept of love, forgiveness, then they are beasts!
Interpretation of the end of the long shot, did you see it? At this time, the vast snowy field is gray and gray, and the sky is hardly seen from a distance. The world is chaotic. We think, the place where you can't see the sky... That is hell, hell on earth what!
Female: Yes, the snow here is no longer white, but gray. I remember that the snow in the previous monastery was very white.
That's right! This is the lens contrast, let you think! Why is the snow scene here in chaos.
God and man are already in one line at this time. The language of the lens: should be understood as the entanglement of divinity and animality, Baixue’s holiness is tarnished, and the tyranny of humanity is swallowing the light of divine love, and finally this group of figures turns into clouds and mist, Disappearing in the vast snowy night, heralds the death of mankind.
From the beginning of the film, God and man are intertwined, and ultimately remain together. It has always been out of the entanglement between humanity and divinity. We have to see this opposition and this conflict. Humanity continues to encourage ourselves. Under God’s invitation, we should sincerely retain the divine love and courage, and drive away humanity. The cowardice and cruelty. The contest and confrontation between humanity and divinity run through
our interpretation: if humanity breaks away from divinity, it will degenerate into pure animality, then mankind will lose the future and will inevitably die!
These terrorists also have faith, but what is the point of losing their divine faith, losing love and tolerance?
Looking at the performance part, we can also realize some ways. From the expressions of the priests, we can see that the priests are persistently hesitating, and we can see their painful and entangled selection process.
In addition, if we reflect the firmness and decisiveness of the priests' final choice, don't shake the camera, just switch and transition, and the expressions will be one after another...
Female: Oh, yes, yes, how do you explain that there is a feel
and the priest is pious The state of serving God should be solemn, not impetuous, and the camera should not be swaying, indicating that the gaze is straight, there is no random aim, the mind is calm, calm and open... In fact, anyone in a place like a church will be like this.
And in this scene, the priests drank red wine and had the last supper in the music of Swan Lake. They were all human beings, with pain, happiness, tiredness and timidity... but God gave them a god. Sex, love and determination, courage and forgiveness.
At the end of the film, a gray and invisible arena is arranged once again, so that they can contend with the beast...The film is taken from a real event!
Woman: Why arrange for two monks to survive?
In the end, of course, you have to leave two mouths alive to tell the story. Who would think the movie you made is true if it's all dead? This is the rule of general documentary or biographical film creation.
In the face of crisis, whether you are timid or choose to stand with God and conscience to meet the challenge is related to the future of mankind.
Female; I understand, this is what you said about the role of divinity and humanity. Indeed, humans should have faith and cannot abandon love and forgiveness. Without divinity, they are no different from animals.
Of course, the director is condemning the rioters. The people of the world condemn this kind of behavior. At the same time, he calls for a kind of attention and thinking. When people lose hope and crisis, they must strengthen the faith of God and be an upright person. If you face these rioters, Without conscience and judgment, mankind really has no future.
Female: Yes, right now, are there few poor people who are trapped by those cultists? Just think about it. Humans should really be alert...
Well said, we must not only have faith, but also in times of loss and crisis. What kind of faith is called if you insist on rationally and lose faith in divinity and love?
Woman: After reading so many film reviews, I think your analysis is the most reliable!
To interpret a movie, you must first have a clear grasp and a clear mind. If you are dizzy, who can you convince, is Yunshan Wuman’s film review interesting?
For example, the film emphasizes the choice and contest between humanity and animality, rather than a simple contest between priests and terrorists. You must learn to distinguish this symbolic technique in the film!
Female: Okay, I see!
