2017 Golden Horse Film Festival. Aki Director Kaurismäki. 7 films directed by Aki are presented. This evening (20171107) is the broadcast of "Flying Clouds". The post-screening lecture was guided by Wen Tianxiang. Director Hou Hsiao-hsien was present. When the Golden Horse Film Festival uses negatives, if the film maker can sell the film to the festival, the festival will burn Chinese subtitles on the negatives. After the broadcast, it will be stored in the Film Archive. However, if the filmmaker is unwilling to sell the film, the film festival party can only borrow the film to broadcast, broadcast the English subtitle version, and then return it to the filmmaker. Director Aki's first film that was publicly broadcast on TW was at the Golden Horse Film Festival in 1996. At that time, "Leningrad Cowboys Go to America" was broadcast. Because he couldn't buy a copy of the film, there were only English subtitles when it was broadcast. The seven films directed by Aki at the Golden Horse Film Festival are all digitally restored versions (DCP), and you can tell by looking at the subtitles. Although "Clouds" is also copied on TW. Archie loves dogs. The dog in "Floating Cloud" also won the Best Animal Actor in Cannes... Akey is a heavy smoker. He thinks the movie can't exceed two hours, otherwise I'm sorry for the smokers. Aki has a fixed team of cooperation, and also does editing by himself. The use of the lens is very restrained and will not abuse the lens. "Clouds" premiered in Cannes in 1996. The end credits said that the film was dedicated to Pellonpää, the actor of "Paradise Arc", with whom the director collaborated on many films. There is a scene in "Floating Clouds" where the male protagonist scolds the movie halfway through the movie, and the sound of "ping ping pong pong" in the theater alludes to the Hollywood movies at that time. Director Akey thinks that a good film is a film in which the male protagonist walks through the aisle and the posters on the wall. Director Akey omitted a lot here, and did not explain that the hero and heroine entered the theater and kept the dog. Jarmusch's "Earth Night" is similar to Archie. Takeshi Kitano does not have the violent films that Takeshi Kitano plays, such as "That Summer", which has similarities to Aki's aesthetics. "That Year" did not explain that the hero and heroine were deaf and mute. There was a scene where they went out and the old man told them it was going to rain or something, and they just smiled at the old man. Then they carried the surfboard and walked forward. The girl changed the center of gravity of the surfboard. The male protagonist felt that the weight had changed and turned back. Kitano Takeshi omitted the process of the girl changing the center of gravity of the surfboard. Similar to the above-mentioned narrative omission, there are many in "Floating Clouds". At the beginning, there was a scene of violence (the violence happened off-screen), the chef was drunk, the hero went to stop it, and the heroine went to get it done. The violent scenes were omitted, but the audience knew what was going on. The male protagonist lost his job and went home drunk, Some entrance parts are omitted. Only the heroine was lying on the bed, and when she heard the sound, she went out and saw the hero collapsed in the living room. The male protagonist went to get back the salary of the female protagonist, disappeared for a week after being beaten, and then went back to find the female protagonist, omitting the scene of the reconciliation between the male and female protagonists. Just saw the heroine take the hero's shoes to repair shoes. There is absolutely no waste, and it creates a feeling of lightness. In "Floating Clouds", there is a light-hearted concern for the bottom of society and unemployment. Floating Clouds is a great color. The heroine wears a red coat all the time (except when she's in a bad mood). At the beginning of the scene, the heroine wears a red coat, waits for the green tram, and kisses the driver when she gets on the bus. Then the heroine sat at the terminal, got off the tram, got into her husband's Buick sedan, and went home to watch TV together. Then he explained that the TV was bought with a loan for four years, which also paved the way for them to lose their jobs later. The heroine listened to TV while cleaning the next day (the TV can be used for listening), and then heard that Nigeria was "persecuting", so she stopped the vacuum cleaner to watch TV. Aki's later films also focus on refugees (2017's "Hope on the Other Side of the World"), much like Beratar. Aki's "The Match Factory Girl" also mentioned the "Tianan people". Archie's films don't have much dialogue, and the actors are always smoking. The actor is not speaking the language of life, but the words "with cold black humor". Director Aki has done a lot of work. He said that he held more than 40 jobs before 1989, and these experiences are the source of nutrition for his "labor trilogy". Aki director has written a film review, influenced by Fassbender's film. But rumor has it that Akey hasn't seen a Fassbender movie before. Maybe it's like someone said that Hou Hsiao-hsien's movies are very similar to Yasujiro Ozu, and then Hou Hsiao-hsien went to see Ozu... (Although it's unlikely... As a professional film critic/film creator, it's impossible not to have seen these famous directors.) Aki and him My brother is a famous director in Finland. But none of them live in Finland now. Archie's wife is a painter, and some of the paintings in Archie's films were drawn by her wife. The Golden Horse Film Festival can hold more than 200 films at a time, but it cannot show every film directed by Aki. In addition to the new film "Hope on the Other Side of the World" (the new film is a hook to attract audiences), this year's Golden Horse Film Festival also collected the "Trilogy of the Working Class" and Aki's first film "Crime and Punishment". Now looking back from the perspective of "author theory", director Aki is quite consistent. Akey will make Crime and Punishment because he has read the book that Chufu interviews Hitchcock, Hitchcock has been asking his assistant to buy the script (if Hitchcock ) Hitchcock felt that not all works are suitable for remake into movies, for example, Hitchcock never touched Dostoevsky's works. So Akey wanted to challenge Hitchcock's argument. "Crime and Punishment" was adapted by Aki to be a bit different from the original, and the location was also moved to Helsinki, but the atmosphere was quite similar to the original. The people around the male protagonist realize that the male protagonist is the murderer, but the people around him do not expose him, because there may be some kind of "profit" if not exposed. In the end, the male protagonist spoke philosophical words about the eternal loneliness of human beings. Aki's first film "Crime and Punishment" won Finland's New Director Award (Finland only produces about ten films a year...the competition is relatively small...laughs). "Lonely Shadow" is Aki and Kati Outinen and Matti The beginning of the Pellonpää collaboration. Kati still works with Aki to this day. A clip from this year's Golden Horse trailer for "Lonely Shadow in Paradise" is very similar to "Flying Clouds", but it's the "dinosaur version" (wrong...), the hero and heroine are sitting on the beach looking at the sea, and then the hero Pellonpää throws Kati, who was originally in the Smoking, after throwing down, the camera shot is the cigarette in Kati's hand. But in fact, this film is not so romantic. It is very realistic about the friendship and love of the working class. The most fascinating aspect of this film is the male camaraderie. The male protagonist is a cleaning team member and wants to stand on his own, but the male protagonist's friend has an accident. The heroine is a supermarket cashier. Because of a Band-Aid, the hero and heroine establish a relationship. Later, the heroine finds a new job, but also has some affection with the manager. The heroine swings between the cleaner male lead and the clothing store manager. This is really a cosmic problem, how should the heroine choose? The heroine finally asks the hero "Can you feed the two of us?" This question is also a full stop, because the heroine has actually made up her mind to be with the hero. In Chaplin's "City Lights", the heroine is blind, Chaplin peeked at the heroine, and the heroine poured water on the hero. The male lead has been helping the female lead, but the female lead mistook the male lead for a rich man (heard Chaplin getting out of the car) and started selling flowers to him. Chaplin gave everything and went to jail himself. After the heroine found out that the hero was gone, she mistakenly thought that she was thinking too much, and thought that it was interesting for her to help her. Chaplin was finally released from prison, and there were children who bullied him. The girl has opened a flower shop, her eyes are good, she saw Chaplin, the tramp, the girl gave Chaplin a copper plate, but Chaplin didn't want it, saying he just wanted a flower. As soon as the girl touches Chaplin's body, she realizes that Chaplin was the one who helped her before. At this moment, do girls want to ask Chaplin? The girl always thought that the rich was helping her, and if she asked Chaplin, her previous dreams would be broken. It's brutal. Woody Allen does not have the realm of Chaplin. At the end of "Manhattan", the heroine said that she would give her six months, and she would reply to the hero when she returned from London. In "Lovers in the New Bridge", the heroine almost gave up on herself, went to the bridge, and then met the hero. Later, the actor wanted to burn all the newspapers and accidentally burned people to death, and the actor was imprisoned. In the end, the male lead ran to find the female lead and negotiated on the banks of the Seine. In the end, the two fell into the river together (very scary... The director also deliberately filmed the two to be swept into the whirlpool), and in the end the female lead should return to the male lead. beside me, because the director made the whole of Paris Setting off fireworks. Well, the fireworks should be understood as the fireworks of blessing, and it is the director's tribute to the love that crosses the class. At the end of "Floating Clouds", a down angle shot of the hero and heroine looking at the sky. But the bad guys in the movie still exist. Aki doesn't like to shoot violence, he doesn't avoid violence, he just doesn't shoot it (the process of violence is omitted), and he explains ugly violence very briefly. Aki knew the cruelty of this world, so he gave the hero and heroine the last care. Archie thinks about the topic first, and then writes the script. He writes scripts very quickly. Aki wanted to give the character a tragic ending every time, but in the end because of sympathy for the character, he gave a slightly milder ending. Ariel's "Ariel", directed by Aki, oscillates a bit between lucky tragedy and lucky tragedy. The actor gets a roadster, but it's cold in northern Europe. The male protagonist was robbed and only the sports car was left. The male protagonist meets the female protagonist who issues a ticket because of his sports car. The male protagonist goes to prison, but meets someone (Pellonpää) who has been helping him. It's easy to rob a bank in Akipai, the actor goes in, then comes out, and throws some money on the street. Wen Tianxiang didn't like Kati at first, but he really liked Kati in "The Match Factory Girl". And the heroine of "The Match Factory Girl" didn't leave in the end. The narration of The Match Factory focuses on the heroine. The heroine is an ordinary girl who works in a match factory. Her life is very monotonous. She has a cold relationship with her father and daughter. When she got to a man, she thought she had met true love, but the man was a scumbag (very melodrama)... Later, the girl also wrote to the boy, and the audience didn't know the heroine's name until the heroine's corner. (Seeing this, Wen Tianxiang felt that he was about to cry.) The signature actually contains the imagination of the future. So when this imagination is shattered, it is understandable that the heroine burns all jade and stone in the end. Archie admires Bresson and Ozu.
