Gaetano 2022-07-04 18:29:49

The 9th screening day of the main competition unit of the 10th #Faro IslandFilm Festival# will bring you "Fallen Idol", and the following will bring you the evaluation of the collapse of the world of the innocent children on the front line!

Fruit trees:

The victory of the play. Every character and component is called organically, and spliced ​​together to form this masterpiece.

We Min Hee:

After playing hide-and-seek, the child's perspective brings a detailed description of the house's sense of space and depth.

Faroe Islander:

Fantastic composition, haphazard script conception, children lost in the morally collapsed world of adults.

Nofan:

Never underestimate a child's ability to perceive. From a child's point of view, the film tells the story of his innocent kindness, who travels through lies. It is a pity that the film adopts a straightforward narrative method, which is somewhat lacking in surprises.

Bob Chow:

From the perspective of a child, the theme of lies is not expanded but limited to an event in a given space, and the necessary connection and identity are not given through images when the perspective is switched. The child's logic is full of irrationality rather than irrationality, falling into pure narrative and advancement rather than empathy.

kc512:

Moral gray area, lust leads to guilt, noir films in a broad sense, but noir films will not have children, because the symbol of innocence will not appear in the criminal world. Therefore, starting from the child's vision has become a double-sided slash. On the one hand, the child's ignorance in viewing things produces a joke, which has a satirical effect; on the other hand, it also kills an idea that has the potential to develop into a stylized film noir. Or depression is not strong enough. The images are powerful, and Carol Reed's signature Dutch Angle is stunning.

Midnight no one:

The capture of the child's perspective is very groundbreaking, and many shot scheduling and language design have inspired later films, but more importantly, the internalized voyeuristic and coercive temperament can be concretely presented. In their world of black and white or simple and clear, the secret is candy instead of poison, naivety is often judged because of ignorance, the dark side seems to not really exist but is transformed into the dragon and witch in fairy tales, lies are out of wishful thinking protection rather than the adult desire for self-comprehension, the call of all-out efforts is still too weak to be mentioned, speechless because it has been ignored too naturally. In the end, he walked towards his mother, who had never had a face or a sense of existence. Everyone seemed happy, but no one knew what was going on. Something had begun to break down and become disorganized.

#FIFF10#DAY9's main competition magazine score will be released later, please wait and see.
