This new Weiss film that has kept me waiting for more than a year changes from 1:85 to 2.35:1 to 4:3. This surprising but reasonable screen ratio change and the stability of the four-fold time and space. But the blurry set of narrative format has laid a dazzling red carpet for this adult fairy tale freak director on his way to the master.
After Yuesheng Kingdom, I couldn't help but worry a little. After all, Wes's image that has been repeated and never surpassed by himself has become more and more popular. With Yuesheng's nomination for the Cannes Oscar, how will he break through himself? After all, although the masterpieces continue to have a lot of fans in style, the distance between him and the film masters is still quite obvious. What kind of new work how to reintegrate its iconic film language and exquisite screenwriting skills in order to go a step further toward the master. Weiss gave a perfect explanation with the film of the Budapest Grand Restaurant.
What a beautiful fairy tale. What a complete story should have been. It is a pity that the writer of Xie Ding insisted on asking what happened afterwards. So, under the prompts of the black and white screens, he was warmhearted, feminine, perfumed, British accent, the treasurer of the grand GRAND HOTEL, an important member of the mysterious organization Crossing Keys, took a gun and lost his life for the zero who had no registered permanent residence. In front of the person who pledged his reputation, bid farewell to the disciple in the war of error and distortion, and pass on the cause of his endorsement to the newcomer zero. All the sweetness, bitterness and glory start from zero again.
Someone saw the poster and said oops. Ralph Fiennes. Edward Norton. Tilda Swinton. Jude Law. William Dafoe. This is a must-see movie! Such people feel that they are low even after watching the film. All the big names and superstars in the place where Weiss Anderson is just one of his adult fairy tales. Just like almost all actresses want to appear in Woody Allen's movies. All first-line actors hope to find their own personality by starring in WA movies. Only a few people, such as Bill Murray, had unique personalities before they met WA. The cooperation between the two is really similar and has a good relationship for a hundred years.
Listen to the original sound. Have to sigh. Despratt did a great job this time. It is impossible not to win the awards of several major film festivals. The consistent WA-style brisk soundtrack also found a balance with the heavy history. The pure love, Xiaoqing, and the man’s loyalty are successfully combined into the same Eastern European soundtrack.
The shocking feeling of the calm narrative of this four-fold time and space is hard to disappear in my heart. The story can give people a very deep impression and at the same time, the present of the unknown little girl, the writer’s old age, the writer’s youth is also the old age of ZERO, the boy of ZERO is also Gustav’s fourfold time of life realized in space. The seamless connection is like the Matryoshka and Mendeleev’s periodic table, which are connected end to end. It not only gives the freshness of the current time on the surface, but also makes people think about the influence of the past story on the present and the future under the general concept. In addition to the single time clue of a single character, there is more possibility of horizontal extension. How did Gustav explain and support ZERO little by little, and how did ZERO slowly present the story to young writers. The young writers narrated in their novels in the form of VO, and the writer opened the same novel to review again in his later years. His own past, after the death of the writer, how his works deeply moved and influenced the unknown little girl. The sequential expansion of the horizontal and vertical multi-dimensional time and space analyzes the possible propositions of how the past affects different people and different kinds of futures little by little. On the surface, only telling stories is actually telling us stories.
Under the superficial four-dimensional narrative structure of time and space, there is the fifth dimension of space in the hearts of those of us who sit in front of the screen and follow all the actors across time. How we understand this story is completely up to us. How we will be affected by the story telling him to others around us also depends entirely on us. And the pure language presented in the hearts of others rather than the impression of the film on the image is very likely to constitute the sixth space of this story. . So a simple story of Gustav and Zero on the screen, across time and space, presents the possibility of as many as six layers of time and space. This is an unprecedented phenomenon in all the movies I have seen before. Therefore, this film is also WA's most outstanding, outstanding and perfect one so far. It is also a solid step for him to become a true master.
Fortunately, it should be us audiences and big-name actors. We are also one of the witnesses of this magical image phenomenon.
The excitement of watching WA on the big screen for the first time was beyond words. The last subtitled villain dances cutely and is very cute. It seems that the director knows that he has told a story that is not very happy ending and feels ashamed and apologizes for everyone's embarrassment.
So I love him even more.
