Frankly speaking, this movie has been lying on the computer hard drive for some time. Part of the reason why it was downloaded was because it was shortlisted in the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival, and the other reason was because of director Joachim Till. . To be honest, I don't really like the name "Further than gunfire", including the signifier and signifier of this four-character phrase. I have a special feeling for certain words. They are not just what the word usually refers to. It brings me the joy of nourishing the heart, or the madness of singing with swords, or the elegance of retreating into the mountains and forests. Yi is the kind of feeling that I am afraid that any language explanation will desecrate or destroy them. They carry a certain emotional sustenance of me, so they are the kind of meaning that will speak for themselves. Their appearance touches my heartstrings. Bring up some dusty memories or ripples in the bottom of my heart. In the same way, I feel the opposite of some words, and I think they are a bit exaggerated or boisterous. "Further than gunfire" is this counterexample. I need to clarify that I don't hate this phrase, but it cannot resonate. I suddenly thought of this movie this morning for some reason, so I flipped it out of my computer to have a look. I just mentioned the director of the film, Joachim Trier. He is a cousin of Lars von Trier. I like Lars von Trier’s films very much, especially his early and mid-term works, including The highly stylized European trilogy and his Dougma 95 series. As for the later works that are slightly more mainstream, I don't particularly appreciate them. Of course, the relatives of great directors do not mean that they have the talents of great directors, but the resources and attention that Joachim Till has received in this industry are definitely not comparable to ordinary people. This is a common rule in the world. It may be my liking for Lars von Trier’s work that made me suddenly want to watch this film today. I believe that fans and friends also have your own reasons to choose to watch a certain film. Some of you like the actors in it. Yes, some like the director, some are because the film is adapted from a favorite literary work or game, and some are interested after watching the film introduction, and so on. But after all, it is impossible for us to watch a certain movie without any reason. After all, it takes about one and a half to two hours. Especially as we live in this impetuous age, we will not waste watching movies for no reason. For an hour or two, because we prefer to do more boring things to pass the time. Judging from the style of the film, Joachim Tier is not as shocking as Lars von Tier in terms of themes and images, nor is he so rebellious. On the whole, it is relatively mainstream. I think that. Very good, the film industry doesn’t need too many directors with the same quality and the same style. Movie fans want to see pioneers, innovators, or trend-setters, not followers who follow suit. In terms of story, this film can be regarded as a relatively complete storyline. It may be because the dialogue is in English. Some aspects have the shadow of Hollywood movies, but the rhythm is slower and the drama is relatively less. On the whole, it is still closer to European films. of. Speaking of the story of the film is very simple, a couple, husband Jene was an actor before, wife Isabel is a war photographer, they have two children, the eldest son Jonah is a professor in the university, the youngest son Conrad is studying in middle school. . Isabel was killed in an accidental car accident. The youngest son missed his mother. He was in a youthful rebellious period, so he and his father had almost no communication. Jone’s wife had just given birth to a child. In order to prepare for his mother’s photo commemorative exhibition, he went home to organize his mother’s The relic, the story unfolds from here, and there are many bits and pieces of their mother's life in the middle. In fact, from the beginning of the film, we learned that Isabel committed suicide from the conversation between Djenet and Isabel’s colleague Richard, but the film did not write more about her motives for doing this, but rather a little cocoon. It opened up to us the daily life of their family, let us slowly feel and experience, although it did not give us a hearty feeling at the end of watching the movie, the emotions that were driven and infected made us feel more deeply. A vigorous and majestic life can only be done with high mountains. The main theme of real life is firewood, rice, oil, salt, plainness and boringness. Going back to the name of the movie, what is more fierce than gunfire? It is poor communication or failure. As Luke played by Paul Newman in "Blood on the Bar": "Our main problem is the failure of communication." Djenet had to give up his acting job because his wife often went to war zones to take photos and couldn't take care of his family. He was actually reluctant to do so at the time. However, considering his wife’s ambitions, he still agreed, but In the quarrel between him and Isabel in the film, he mentioned that he also made sacrifices and gave up his dreams for her. It can be seen that the seeds of unwillingness were planted as early as when he made a decision. The biggest problem is that they didn't have effective conversation and communication about the decision that affected the family. Later, her husband's incomprehension and complaint became part of the reason for her depression. Isabel’s long life on the battlefield made her feel self-blame for the lack of family responsibilities, and she felt that her role in the family was diminished and seemingly dispensable. She felt even more that she felt herself only in a terrifying and war-torn battlefield. She is alive, and she can't quit such a life like a drug addiction. She and her colleague Richard have In this matter, just like Richard’s questioning to Jene at the end of the film, he frankly admitted-they were only together on a business trip in a war zone. Richard said that she loved her husband, and Jene’s cheating on his wife Not showing anger, this is also the greatest sorrow. There is a scene in the film Isabel sitting on the sofa with Djenet, Isabel tells that she had a weird dream-a man raped her on the grass, and Djenet sitting in the car smoking a cigarette watching everything in front of her, indifferent, listening After he finished speaking, Djenet also jokingly asked if his smoking posture was this or that. At that time, their conversation and expression made people chill, and the lack of communication between the husband and the wife formed emotional desert and hovered over them. The gap between them is so big, and the surreal picture makes this sense of alienation even bigger. Gabriel Byrne and Isabel Huppert have contributed brilliant acting skills. The problem of communication is very prominently manifested in the first half of the film between the youngest sons Conard and Djenet. Djenet follows Conard every day and learns the games he plays, hoping to understand what he is thinking. Melt into his world and tried to talk to him when he returned home, but he was just playing games. When Jenny got angry, he put a plastic bag on his head, and Jenny almost collapsed and tore the plastic bag helplessly. Djenet did not tell Conrad that his wife committed suicide. He kept saying that he might not be able to accept this fact. Finally, Richard's article was accidentally read. He who knew the truth about his mother's death could not accept this fact. In reality, after a conversation between him and his father in the early morning, his father admitted that it was his fault and failed to communicate with him properly, which led to today's ending. How parents and children communicate may be a world-class problem, and the film does not provide an answer. The director also knows that there is no one-size-fits-all answer for all of us in the world. After the death of his wife, Djeene and Hannah, Connard’s English teacher, developed a relationship, but they kept Conrad’s secrets. After knowing that they were together, the angry Conrad slobbered on Hannah’s. Face. Conard likes a beautiful girl in the class-Melanie. He secretly followed her but didn't have the courage to say hello. Later, with the encouragement of his brother, he put a cool article on Melanie's house and ran away. Later, at a party, Melanie was drunk and asked him to take her home. In the middle of her rush, she asked Conard to watch for her. She relieved her hands behind a car, and Conard looked at the back of the car. The scene where Melanie's urine slowly flowed over his feet was a genius. Conrad knew that Melanie didn't hate him, but he also knew that she would only be drunk if she asked her to eat together in the future. , He seems to have grown up. He realized that his previous secret love was of no avail, and tried to communicate and take a step forward bravely. The eldest son Jonah’s situation is not much better. His wife has just given birth, but it seems that he is not ready to be a father, so when he meets his ex-girlfriend in the hospital, it seems that he and her It's more talkative, let him forget about the fact that his wife hasn't eaten yet. Several conversations with his wife also showed that their relationship began to crack. He was escaping from the anxiety caused by the changes in his life, so he went to spend the night with his ex, and the next day he secretly left with guilt. Later, his brother's words made him feel that he should cherish the person in front of him. Jonah also plays a part of Jenny's role. When his mother is unhappy to find someone to talk to, it is Jonah who comforts her and helps her through the difficulties. He was indifferent and dissatisfied with the relationship between his father and his mother, but he still hid it in his heart. He never mentioned his mother's situation with his father. Later, when his father quarreled with him, he began to vent his dissatisfaction. In fact, Jene had been stunned. In the dark, I don't know how things are like this. At the end of the film, Djenet drove Jonah and Conrad on the way home. Djenet looked at his two sleeping sons with a knowing smile, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, but life is still more Go on, there are more unknowns waiting for them, but no matter the good or the bad, they have to carry on their shoulders together... Frozen three feet is not a day's cold, and the family members in life are slow due to the lack of communication with each other. The estrangement that has slowly built up is as unbreakable as a copper wall and an iron wall. At the last moment, I think about turning the tide from a huge downfall. The art of life is the art of communication. The complexity of life has told us that there are no rules to follow. We can only try to communicate sincerely. Although there will be hesitation and injury in the process, I believe that there will always be a hot sun. The director used very delicate brushstrokes to depict the communication difficulties of the family members. He did not criticize or bluntly preach. He did not provide us with any answers or tricks to solve communication and communication problems. He just calmly I faithfully present the state of life to the audience, and I am very happy that I have not missed such an excellent film. Joachim Tyre perfectly controls the rhythm and mood of the film, skillful and unique, and another rising master looks forward to his new works. The last thing to mention is Conrad’s actor Devin Druid. His performance in the film is very eye-catching. It can be said that he is not inferior to the two old dramas. The future is really limitless.
