"The metaphor of the cave" appears at the beginning of Volume 7 of Plato's "Utopia". All things in the world are projected by light onto the walls of the cave, and the prisoners in it stare at the wall all day and naturally think that those moving shadows are the only real things. Until a prisoner was released, he went to the outside world and realized that the world he had known before was just a monotonous outline of this world. The reality was cascading like an onion. This person was so excited that when he went back to tell the other prisoners about the new order he had seen, those people of course thought he was crazy.
Another story comes from Jack London. It is about a young man who used to lie very much. The villagers tied him to a canoe and sent him away, telling him that he could come back when you didn't lie. After a few years, he came back. Everyone asked him what he saw in the outside world. He said that he saw a lot of things, such as running on his own with 4 wheels tied to the smooth box, and saw some big iron birds squeaking high in the sky. fly. The villagers thought that they had never seen such a bragging person, so they tied him onto a canoe so that he would never come back.
The most impressive thing in this work directed by Kieslowski is that when Philip Moss returned home from the film festival by train, he drew a picture in front of the scenery with the index finger of his left and right hand and his thumb on the seat by the window. frame. That scene is so quiet, but the excitement in his heart is almost wonderful, and I can feel it. The big role of the camera is to let you discover that everything around you is alive, even dead things are actually alive, but what it does It just adds a frame to the objective existence.
He was addicted to it because he could escape from this reality and reach another reality. The logic of dimensionality climbing couldn't be simpler. Tobacco, alcohol and drug online games are like this, they will create a new order different from the material world. People always have their own opinions on whether these experiences are dimensionality upgrade or dimensionality reduction, but it is the price for sure. Since then, the common sense has completely failed, and others will not understand his way of life, at least it will not be so easy to understand. This is the natural gap between the “eyes” of the creator and the “eyes” of the censor. "Movie Fan" wanders between two atmospheres, one is the freedom and touch brought by pure art, and the other is that besides art, even those seemingly normal orders can become moments of hindrance and torment in his creation. .
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is the most authoritative. If it is inconsistent with reality, then the reality must be wrong." This statement can probably be established in the self-world of every art creator. Because the camera is not pure from beginning to end, many ethical issues are involved in addition to the recording function. Will the lives of the photographer, the subject, and the bystander be ruined by the presence of this seeing eye and the eventual advent and spread of the work? How to use shooting and editing to achieve objective reality in a personal standpoint? How to dispel one's potential "overlook" or "pity" perspective? Is it questionable in itself to extract limited material from infinite reality? These are put forward by the film and left as questions for thought. It presents a state of incomprehension in which artistic creation originates from life but violates the ethics of life.
Philip Moss is more than just a movie creator: he is both the husband and father in the family and the buyer in the factory. When the anniversary film was made, he certainly thought he was a prisoner out of the cave, but from the eyes of his wife and boss, art is obviously far less than life's activities. It will delay the so-called "business" just like we now look at online games of tobacco, alcohol and drugs. This level of contradiction is indeed a bit too simple, so that we will be a little skeptical when watching movies, is there only two options in his life? With the accumulation of daily interrogations and quarrels on this side, his wife ran away with her young daughter; on the other side, Ovas was forced to retire early, but it was fine. Because the funds were embezzled for other purposes, construction and finance had to be expelled. , Filming has to stop. In the words of the factory director, most people don’t understand, this is one of the reasons; at the same time, although the creator himself is always limited, he cannot know who will benefit or suffer from what, and who art can really help. Who hurts again, but we still have to do what we should do. We can only repair one side of the house forever.
The editing of this film is always very abrupt, and the position of the front and back is not out of the norm. This is where it is handsome. In addition, the story is somewhat monotonous, but the selfie at the end suddenly seems to be interesting, and it can even be regarded as A stroke of magic. When he initially decided to "record" his daughter's life, he tended to place himself as a bystander in his life. Then, whether it was filming anniversaries, factory employees, or apartment streets, he only existed as "eyes". He didn't bother about the husband's work or the staff's work anymore. In the end, when the real world completely collapsed, he destroyed the film like his own eyes, and turned the camera upside down and put his life inside the lens, which was a huge change.
