Use ordinary dismantling of the usual complicated concealment

I like watching movies to get the narrative tone of the movie, and I prefer to have a clear mind, or method, when I see the movie. Carlos Saola’s movies have always been like this, just like a person, he has a high-level abandonment, this kind of abandonment can be classified as a kind of abandonment of interpretation, it is a kind of narrative that can reveal the whole texture only from the narrative level. Expansion method-use ordinary dismantling of the usual complicated concealment.

In fact, as a work, a work has to go through a triple vision: the vision of the author, the vision of the text, and the vision of the audience. The relationship between the three is that the author's vision establishes a textual vision and draws the audience's vision through the textual vision. I think people like Carlos Saura have a natural control over this triple vision. We know that sometimes when we try to explain everything with a forgivable force, it is already the beginning of a fall into powerlessness. This movie only describes the cup, only the water in the cup, and the light refracted from the water. Then, the time came out, and then the mood of the whole room came out. At this time, as an author, the way the author's ideas are conveyed is no longer an interpretation of oneself, but a way of showing the resonance gained.

"About childhood, I never thought it was innocent." The concept proposition of this film is already revealed in the film's name "raising crows (or tolerating rapes)", but what is even more fascinating is that Saura is more fascinating about this film. He is really a genius storyteller in the narrative way of ideas. He does not invent and interpret logic, but only discovers and records what he sees and thinks, and transfers it to you wisely. The discovery of simple ideas may persuade people, but not necessarily move people, but Saola’s ideas are developed in a different way. He will give you an objective distance. He is only responsible for telling the story, and then the audience is safe here. Within the distance, he could feel all the breath as he wished.

"The perception of texture is more important than the mere description of the phenomenon." Just like why Morandi's paintings have a more sense of time and emotion than other conceptual artists of the twentieth century? It’s just a few simple fragments and details that are looming, not pursuing completeness, just like not forcing oneself to tell, the immersive feeling that exudes is actually a more abstract reproduction, this restoration Sense is rich in rational elaboration refined into logic.

Cría Cuervos quotes

  • Ana: The only thing I remember very clearly, is that at the time, I was convinced my father was responsible for all the sadness that embittered the last years of my mother's life. I was convinced that it was he and he alone that had caused her illness and death.

  • Rosa: Your poor mother wanted to breastfeed you, but she was too pale and delicate. So I was the one who really nursed you.

    Ana: Did you breastfeed me?

    Rosa: Heavens, no. I gave you a bottle.

    Ana: You've got big breasts. Will you show me?

    Rosa: What do you think this is, a circus?

    Ana: Come on, show me! I'll close my eyes and count to five... Oh! They're so big!
