During the trip, on a snowy night, I watched the film in front of a small hotel under the snow-capped mountains. When I returned to the city to calm down and write about it, I found many related things and other friends had reviewed it, so I thought about it. In a nutshell, why is it a good movie?
A very simple story, the subject is not novel, "Smell the fragrance to know a woman" and "Visitor of the soul" all talk about this friendship that crosses age, class and personality, and how two people get along and appreciate it during a period of time. , Learn from each other, change each, and then all get out of embarrassment and enter another situation in life. The film does not allow the characters to appear step by step, but imitates the usual form of action film suspense films, starting with movie climax clips, racing cars, being chased by the police, and suddenly bringing a slow story into a tense atmosphere. , Hastened the rhythm. Rhythm is a major element of storytelling, and in this film, whether it is a basic conversation between a few people indoors, a leisurely walk between two people walking into the night scene, the freedom of gliding in the sky, or an airplane in the sunset , Maserati's Mercedes-Benz in the tunnel, the switching of long and short shots and close-ups, the use of light and shadow, and the right editing have maintained a stable, not rushed or slow rhythm.
The lines are the highlight of this comedy. Most of the humorous, simple and philosophical sentences come from Driss. What he said was the most straightforward but people often don’t want to admit it. He sneered at the pretending to be deep paintings, gave everyone a variety of nicknames, and made fun of Philip’s disability as an experiment. He hit the red heart every time and aroused the audience’s attention. resonance. I guess if I know French, I will be able to better understand the wisdom hidden in his pun jokes and understand the skills of the screenwriter more clearly. It's funny, and Omar Sy who plays Driss is also in place. When he saw a man dressed as a tree on the stage singing a song in the theater, he didn't need to speak. The expression of surprise was enough to make people laugh. The big white teeth revealed in the dark laughed, adding more affinity and comedy.
Needless to say the music, the OST has various styles and rich content. Ludovico Einaudi's several appearances are already amazing, but the combination of music and pictures is the essence of the film. Driss left Philip and returned to his life. He walked into the slum community with headphones like in the past and clapped his hands with black friends whom he hadn’t seen for a long time. At this time, the matching classical music seemed to come out of Driss’s headphones, suggesting The past that he and Philip influenced each other contrasted with the hip-hop style in the picture, but they did not appear completely abrupt due to the similar rhythm.
No one can really sum up the standards of a good movie. Shooting the Great White Shark Cannibal is a good movie, just like any work of art cannot be scored. And what I want to say is, if I have to use the most basic film elements to evaluate it, then the completeness and sense of substitution of this work have already got my A.
