Nine minutes, but seven days are included.
Unexpectedly, the scenes that appeared at the beginning were singing on the
TV-"The sun is shining, time flies, happy singing..." I don’t know if this is the keynote of the entire film, and there have been constant occurrences of him singing in the film. Songs about his mother, and George's miss of his mother, is also the greatest strength to support him.
Then there is the masterpiece of God~~~`I
remembered that song, God was in the clouds, only blinked...
So everything changed on the
first day, he created the sun, and then he created the land.
Close-up of the sun, panning, shaking from the clouds, overexposure, passing through the clouds, lightning, raindrops
always feel that there should be editing points in the part of the lightning, otherwise it is impossible to shake from an altitude of several kilometers. I watched it carefully several times. When it was determined that the lightning appeared, it had already been replaced.
The camera continued to shake down, through the bushes, and shot George on the swing, only his back, green grass, yellow clothes, bright feeling. The
next day, he created the ocean, covering everyone's feet, and blowing people all over the body. itch.
The sea surged, the feet were flooded, and the wind blew George’s hair, still on his back, without a face.
On the third day, he created
a close-up of the record player and a close-up of George’s mouth . After he got up, he still had no face
. A panoramic view of the prairie appeared, a wonderful and pure place,
a
close-up of a baby crying on TV, George was only on one side, blurred, and still a backside.
It wasn't until the camera panned 180 degrees and the focus changed from reality to reality that we saw the front of George-a face that was obviously mentally impaired. He was smiling and smiling brightly.
On the fourth day he created TV
There is so much happiness on TV. There is the grassland of his hometown, the herder who smiles at him, the boy with white teeth, and the chef who cooks delicious food.
George looks for dreams from TV.
On the fifth day, he creates grass, shoveling grass, and grass. Will scream, should comfort it with a good voice.
George stroked the grass gently, like his lover, and he stroked the tree gently, as if he were part of the tree.
George said that if you touch a tree, you will become a tree.
The leaves are so green, almost transparent in the sun, life and nature are so beautiful~~
Lying on the grass, the yellow clothes are so warm, give it a try, how does it feel to be an ant?
The fragile life of the ant was vulnerable, bumping and rolling in the vacuum cleaner, and George yelled and sat up. In fact, he was also fragile.
On the sixth day, he created people, and people have all kinds of colors.
In the eyes of these simple people, there are also many colors in blue, green, white, black, and red. And the old man chanting the butterfly is so focused.
There are men and women. God separates them and attracts them to each other. George also has love. He sees his favorite girls dancing through the crack of the door. Although they are a little clumsy, they are serious. From the panoramic view to the middle shot to the close shot, George's eyes were always obsessed. He said that a woman does not have a beard and will not hurt him when kissing. When the girl blew a kiss at him, he smiled like an extremely happy angel. They were sitting on the grass, talking seriously about love and not love, their smiles were so sincere.
In contrast, the couples on the Billboard of Future Bank are so dull. There must be hope for the future, but hope is not presented.
The next shot is very interesting. It feels like watching a picture and talking.
They kiss like on TV, and then the seed will appear. What is on the screen at this time? Are you thinking about it? It's actually harvested wheat grains, it's really cute.
As for George, it should be that kind. This special seed freshened up in the mirror, smiled, and practiced making angry sounds. His expression was so rich.
He is very clear about his direction, as long as there is an arrow, he will resolutely make a gesture, and then set off, directly and simply.
George knows how to knit sweaters, and the wires are warm yellow. He must like this feeling. When he looks up at the sky, the sky is blue. And looking down at the grass, there will be small red beetles on the green grass. It’s
so beautiful~~~~ It
was Sunday, and he rested on Sunday. It was the seventh day
George watched the beetle soar, and it has become a patch of color when it rises to the land. The
title appeared at the same height as the sun -the eighth day
But what is the eighth day?
This is how the film begins.
It's Xia Li's turn to play. At this time, the tone becomes cold, fast-paced shaking, fast-paced switching, blue tone, Xia Li's expression is serious and thoughtful.
Repetitive work, talking about how to deal with customers every day. First, second, third, fourth...Every point has a switch, a typical formulaic performance.
There was always a lingering cloud on Xia Li's face. When he returned home, the lens showed us an empty room with a few smiling photos frozen in the frame. In the empty closet, Xia Li's melancholy expression alternated with these mirror images, very depressing. The light is also very good here, close-ups, his face is half-bright and half-dark, reflecting the complex feelings in his heart.
The days of repetition began.
The alarm clock tells the time, weather conditions, road conditions... the bread automatically pops out, after washing, I squeezed a smile into the mirror, it turned out to be a compulsive arrangement of my emotions. Opening the garage, hitting the road, the scene of traffic jams, the irritating whistle...
This set of shots keeps appearing, but there are subtle changes in the scene. When it appeared for the second time, the common sceneries became larger, and a sense of oppression appeared, and the irritable life state that people could not escape came out like this.
In such a tense rhythm, Xia Li forgot to pick up the child and it became an expected thing.
Xia Li said that people cannot help themselves in the arena.
In the evening, Xia Li was waiting for news from her child. When the call came in, it was another 180-degree rotating lens, showing a close-up of Xia Li's face, which was once again illuminated by light and dark. It indicates that Xia Li's mood has fallen to the extreme.
When George left the nursing home, there was a shot that was impressive. He walked across a golden field and onto the highway. An exaggerated white arrow appeared, and Xia Li habitually made a gesture and walked along the arrow. At this time, the camera slowly rose and pulled apart, forming a very beautiful picture.
Back to the life of Xia Li, still the same, alarm clock, bread, garage... the third time, but the smile at the mirror was omitted, and replaced by a pan of the building of Xia Li, showing high-rise buildings. Of oppression.
When it appeared for the fourth time, this group of shots had become close-ups, and when the alarm clock shots appeared, there were only close-ups of time. And when Xia Li looked in the mirror, he didn't have the training to smile.
It feels great to show different emotions with a similar set of shots like this.
Xia Li talked to his wife in hallucinations, and explained the problems between them in this way.
Life is just like this, that's it. His wife said that Xia Li had become insensitive and became a part of the system...
Under such emotions, Xia Li met George. The story begins to unfold between two people, and the original two character clues merge into one.
Conflict is inevitable, and conflict constitutes the development of the plot. This includes the communication between a normal person and a mentally impaired person, mutual acceptance and acceptance.
A group of shots in the morning appeared for the fifth time. The smiling person was replaced by George, and I felt that the mood of the film had been changed.
Along the way, George smiled at passers-by and took the initiative to greet him. He was very simple, and he had to ask for something he liked. When buying shoes, if there is no money and the clerk doesn't sell them, he gets angry and makes an angry voice. After he gets the shoes, he smiles again. Happiness and unhappiness are all in one thought.
During the conversation between him and the female clerk was very interesting:
George: Marry me?
Female clerk: I’m already married...
It’s okay, me too
Female clerk: ...
George: Two eyes, two hands, two ears, two lovers...
simple thinking, simple logic. It's actually pretty good.
When Charlie tempted him to get into the car with chocolate, he threw the chocolate away. George said that he was a bad guy, and hit back likewise and threw away his car phone. If a normal person does this, he will definitely be hated, but if George does this, it makes people feel cute.
The part where George was beaten by Charlie was also very happy. He provokes the truck driver with gestures twice, and the driver finally stopped them. Charlie got out of the car to explain, and was pushed by the truck driver. George saw that he was scared and covered his eyes with his hand. , And locked the door. Poor Charlie couldn't open the door and was beaten by the driver. And Georgi opened the radio on the car, listened to the song of Ma Lian Jayu, and sang, this music is actually the exotic music used in the figure, with Xia Zi's smelly The sight is really fun. From the corner of his eye, George secretly saw that the driver had gone before opening the car door to let Charlie in.
Another impressive shot is the intersection where Charlie dropped George, surrounded by yellow fields and a white road in the middle. In the distance is a blue sky, the color is simple and clear. The car stopped in the middle of the intersection, and Xia Li drove George out of the car. Xia Li stubbornly stood by the side of the road holding his sister's address, with an unforgettable expression.
Next, Xia Li came back to pick up George. The two used a lot of close-ups and reverse shots during the period when the two embraced in the rain, and the shots were very delicate. It's also very touching.
