Script vs. Movie!

I can basically understand all the details after reading the explanations of your colleagues.

The film is too procrastinating and dull. If a film has to be read through a large amount of information on the official website to figure it out, it is definitely not an excellent film.

Movies use film language to tell stories. If you have to use print media or online media to make a comprehensive expression, it can be said that the director's skill is far from enough to construct a complete story with pure film language.

The story expressed in the script can be expressed more clearly, but unfortunately it was destroyed by the procrastination and pretendingly mysterious segmentation. The movie is not a smooth and complete drama, but a lot of small pieces together. So we have to follow the pace of the director and faint in the split plots that jump too fast.

After being intoxicated by the stream of consciousness for two hours, the director found that the causality of the story was not clear at all, and had to post supplementary materials on the official website, which had to be said to be a big failure. He lacks plot control, and the rhythm of the whole film is loose and the cohesion of the various sections is not coherent. I want to confess that nostalgia is not related to the main line of the story, and I want to express too much content, but I don't understand anything.

I have once appreciated a unique kind of literary and artistic works. The biggest feature of this category is: the story is incomplete, it provides a large amount of open space for the audience, and requires the audience’s subjective input to complete the script. In this interaction In the process, the audience is not passively accepting, but can enjoy the greatest participation experience. This work is unique to everyone, "This is my story", the audience creates their own story through active exploration and participation. .

To cite this example is Xianghe's analysis of some obscure and esoteric works. As far as this movie is concerned, after reading the official website information, you will know that the story is complete and nailed down. There is no room for fans to intervene in thinking, and the director has not considered the audience. Feel that he just tells a story of himself.

You can say that this is an excellent script, but how much has the script been restored in the two hours of the movie?

Donnie Darko quotes

  • [Pommeroy is reading to the class from the 1954 short story "The Destructors" by Graham Greene]

    Karen Pommeroy: "There would be headlines in the papers. Even the grown-up gangs who ran the betting at the all-in wrestling and the Barrow Boys would hear with respect of how Old Misery's house had been destroyed. It was as though this plan had been with him all his life, pondered through the seasons, now in his 15th year crystallized with the pain of puberty." What is Graham Greene trying to communicate with this passage? Why did the children break into Old Misery's House? Joanie?

    Joanie James: They wanted to rob him.

    Karen Pommeroy: Joanie, if you had actually read the short story, which, at a whopping 13 pages, would have kept you up all night, you would know that the children find a great deal of money in the mattress, but they burn it.

  • Gretchen: Um, where do I sit?

    Karen Pommeroy: Sit next to the boy you think is the cutest.
