Because I love Jamie Bell, I have been looking forward to this film since it entered Berlin last year. The director is the "Young Adam" David MacKenzie, and the heroine is Sophia Myles, who I like. Perhaps the name of this film is too difficult to be remembered. I don't know why. After the film won a Best Music award in Berlin, it lost its sound. It was screened in the UK last summer, but there was no response.
From the beginning of the hand-drawn animation, I like it. In the next feature film, every shot is so beautiful, those villages and cities, and those close-ups are all beautiful to my heart.
The lens greedily captures every expression, movement, and every inch of Jamie Bell’s skin, peeping at him, peeping at his peeping, zooming in, zooming in, zooming in, and even more ambiguous than the lens for Sophia Myles. I even think about photography. The teacher must have fallen in love with this boy. Otherwise, there won't be a close-up of the last walking in the night, reminding me of Richard Ashcroft in Bittersweet Symphony's MV, just this face is enough.
In fact, Jamie Bell’s performance was even more exciting. He wore mother’s skirt, dressed as a weasel, drew eyeliner, applied lipstick on her face, wrote a diary, and pierced her ears with her mother’s earrings. He cried and laughed and he fought and studied abroad... …His pain, joy and doubt, no one is better than him for this role. The movie’s good looks are largely due to him. In 2005, it was also at the Berlin Film Festival, where Jamie Bell promoted Dear Wendy, and David MacKenzie met him there. He had liked this boy for a long time, and it hit it off immediately after meeting, so there was Hallam Foe. Jamie Bell, who was born to act, showed more and more "methodist" characteristics, and he became Hallam Foe. He is short, freckled, a little hunched, often listless, and messy hair, but as long as he is in front of the camera, he will become an elf, shining all over. Although the supporting roles of this film are all wonderful, the Caesar in "Rome", the bad boy in "Guessing the Train", and the charming stepmother also played Claire Forlani well. But Jamie Bell is so beautiful, a kind of strange, with a little creepy temperament and a little fragility.
The main line of the story is that the rebellious boy of Oedipus suspects that his mother was murdered by his stepmother, and slowly isolates himself from the world. He likes to hide in a tree house and "observe" others from a distance. He says he is peeping, not for "you The kind of reason imagined". The part that explores the mystery of the mother’s death is almost "Butterfly Dream", which is one of the shortcomings of this film, but the scene where the angry Hallam went home and tied his stepmother and threw it into the river finally reminded me of "Young Adam". If the story comes to an abrupt end here, I like it better. It's a pity that the director was not so cruel. Hallam suddenly turned to rescue her stepmother and gave her artificial respiration. Then, she came back to life without saying a word, looked at him coldly, and turned away. The director said that this was dark enough for a 17-year-old boy.
Therefore, if "Young Adam" is only the despair and coldness after reading it all over the world, "Hallam Foe" has just knocked on the door of the adult world, and the pain and doubt are temporarily thrown in the past, and the future is just like the last trace of Hallam Foe. Unsure smile, um, there is hope.
The soundtracks of British rock and folk songs are very beautiful, and they are all well matched, so contagious. This director has been a radio DJ before, so he feels so. I remember that at the awards party at the Berlin Film Festival last year, the director himself was the recipient of the Best Music award. He said very coldly that the soundtrack of this film came from. In fact, it is because the copyright of the song is very expensive now, so we found a home to ask for a cheaper price. The small local record company talked about a more reasonable package price, which is DOMINO, and then found these songs in soundtrack in the company’s copyright library...Credits is about to end (the music is so good, you absolutely can’t bear to turn it off before the subtitles are finished. ), the last song is from franz ferdinand, the lyrics are almost the story of Hallam Foe, and the title of the song is written in the subtitles is Hallam Foe Dandelion Blow. After watching the movie, I have been listening to this soundtrack in a loop, maybe for a while.
