The whole filming environment is a rainy farm in autumn. The rain is like the doctor said, it will fall into spring. Through the whole film, the humidity is dim. The black and white shooting is very dark, always, the lens likes to be facing a road, on either side or in the woods, or fields, or houses. Most of the time it is raining. When not advancing, stop there to take pictures of passersby. Until it disappears. What's amazing is that in the foreground, heaven? ,nightmare? These two paragraphs start from the same scene one after the other and pull back in opposite directions. Compared with the previous narration of the same event from different viewpoints, the same scene causes a stronger sense of difference. The angles of the camera at the beginning of each segment are different. For example, if I feel that Irimias is coming back, the angle of the farm tavern camera is very low, which feels suppressed and fearful, and the bells that accompany each other all the time accentuate the atmosphere of death. When shooting Iremias, the camera is high, as compelling as to dominate everything. Many times, the dialogue happens outside the camera. This is very interesting. If you talk about a long shot, you can think of Old Tower, Anzhe, and Ozu, but I didn’t think of any of them because of the feeling that this guide gave me. It's too different, so none of them can be compared. There is no similarity in the dialogue, it's like you are listening to the dialogue facing a door.
Speaking of these people in the whole film, the most touching thing is the little girl. The narrative takes a long time, and there are only a few shots. The length is very long, and the shock is not too small. The little girl was deceived by her brother, poisoned her cat, and committed suicide by taking rat poison. In short, things are like this. The movie was shot like this. The little girl and her brother were full of hope when they buried the money. They were weak and weak. They didn’t care about them. They vented their temper to the cat, and said to the cat, I’m better than you, come on, Fight. Then the milk was mixed with rat poison and gave it to the cat, pressing the cat desperately into the milk. After feeding the cat, the girl retreated far away, and the camera stayed like this for a long, long time. People’s psychology began to change slowly, and then learned that the money had been cheated and was driven away by the doctor. Early in the morning, the girl ran away from home holding the stiff dead cat. She looked desperate and looked miserable. The camera followed the girl for a long time. Time, I saw people completely collapsed, walked all the way to the abandoned house, sat under the tree, took rat poison, and lay down with the cat in his arms. Reminiscent of Bresson's "Muchette". Then a narration sounded: Yes, she told herself gently, the angel saw it, and the angel knew it. Her heart is calm, the trees, the road, the rain, the night, everything is quiet...
