1. At the beginning of a murder scene, shaken from a church with a dome and a cross, it shows the panic that God is powerless against the background of World War II. In broad daylight, the two were shot dead, similar to "Bonnie and Clyde" At the end of the movie, the heroes and heroines were shot to death during the day, giving people a greater shock. 71:52 The inverted image of Jesus is in the foreground, and Andrzej expresses his own inner monologue in the background, all suggesting and expressing his powerlessness. 2. Most of the dialogue scenes between Shikazu and passers-by were shots from the big back, highlighting the role's status. 3. The shot of Anjay calling the mayor, the phone ringing with the portrait of the mayor, and the shot of the servant wiping the knife, all subtly show the mayor's identity. 4. Depth-of-field shots of the call at 17:23. Both sides of the telephone hall are developing their own plots. This is also a plot point. 5. 25:52 and the military cutscenes interspersed many times in the film explain the background of the times. This is a point of view transition shot, Shizuka looked out the window, the shot seemed to cut to his subjective point of view, but the mayor's painting broke the expected expectations. Similar ingenious transitions such as Wu Tianming's "Hundred Birds Chaofeng" 52:35 span several years in one shot. For more technical knowledge, please refer to Chapter 5 of "The Art of Film Director". 6. The mirror that Shizuka appeared when the mayor’s wife asked about his son’s situation may be over-interpreted as a reflection of the mayor’s inner monologue. It is a portrayal of his true feelings as a father and also a superior party secretary. This makes His character is not so flat. 7. The horse that appears at 78:55 may express the protagonist’s inner powerlessness. Nietzsche said that God is dead. This may have something to do with the Turin horse. When thinking of this shot late at night, I couldn't help but tremble. In addition, the "fireworks" in "Fireworks in the Day" may also be related to the fireworks in "Diamonds and Ashes". 8. The last chasing scene reminds me of the scene where the male protagonist escapes helplessly at the end of "Exhausted", and finally dies at the end of the garbage dump in broad daylight, giving people a feeling of "broken breath".
