Cannes Film Festival Award-winning
Main Competition Unit-Jury Award
Old Boy This film has a lot of fans. Whether she wins the Cannes Film Award or not, she can also completely represent a pinnacle of the Korean film industry.
The story is fairly easy to understand, so I will specifically talk about the most artistic part of the film, focusing on interpreting a lot of lens language. According to the four-dimensional one-piece drawing and screenwriting theory, after we determine the theme, these lens language and plot settings can all testify to each other, which greatly improves the accuracy of the drawing content. In other words, we have drilled into the director’s mind.
Well ... let’s talk about the two main characters in this film, Wu Daxiu and Li Yuzhen. The audience was impressed by the two-faced scene. In fact, Wu Daxiu and Li Yuzhen are indeed two sides of the same body. Both of them fell into a deep pool, which is really fate. Let's see, what is the subtext of this dialogue? The so-called falling into the water will sink, it is about lust, feelings for women. Li Yuzhen's love for his sister, both brothers and sisters think it is true love, while Wu Daxiu is passively caught in a situation, so both of them are involved in an unscrupulous erotic desire for women. Love is true, and the heart of revenge, both of them are the same person, crazy for revenge.
Our innate human nature includes love, vitality, wildness, vengeance, lust... These are all components of human nature, a whirlpool, and lingering.
Looking at this again, everyone is very impressed by Wu Daxiu eating octopus, but in fact the octopus item is really smart. If you eat crabs, it will be much worse...At this time, Wu Daxiu has already regarded the person who kidnapped him as the octopus in front of him. Swallow him alive, and Li Yuzhen is indeed very much like that octopus, with Wu Daxiu tied to eight feet, making him unable to break free. So this is precisely the entanglement of the two, which is very vivid metaphorically. This is called the language of the lens. If the director makes it happen, the audience can't understand it, and it's useless! I don’t know if the teachers of your college will tell the students this, maybe they think that these are not film theory or lens language... Then I can only hehe!
When her daughter went to the bathroom, Wu Daxiu rushed in, indicating that these two people will be dirty when they do this kind of thing and will not get good results.
Everyone saw that Wu Daxiu's many vomiting scenes afterwards actually showed that what they did later was probably nauseating, uncomfortable, and instinctive in the body. This is the director's use of the camera as a hint and foreshadowing.
Everyone, the bodyguard next to Li Yuzhen seems to have only said one sentence from beginning to end, which is kind of interesting! It seems that Li Yu really hates men with long tongues.
Looking at Li Yu's real naked body and the cross image on the back of his ass, everyone thinks, people hang the cross on his chest, and he has a tattoo on his back. What does it mean? This person is rebellious, and what he does is weird. Maybe he is as good as Wu Daxiu, but they both fell into the same whirlpool, another deep pool of human nature.
Everyone still remembers that Wu Daxiu was released, and a man committed suicide on the rooftop, holding a cat in his arms... Know what metaphor is there?
Female: Can't tell, I just think it's weird!
Then I ask, do you say he loves this cat?
Female; I definitely love it!
Love to die with him at the last moment of life? This is deformed love, in the eyes of outsiders, it is not humane.
Female: Wow, that's what it means. This is again connected to the theme of the play. This film is about deformed love.
Everyone, look at this yoga pose, it's very beautiful! It is said to be the scorpion pose. In fact, it shows that Li Yuzhen is already deep in the water at this time. Look, it looks like a fish, sand and stone, all sinking to the bottom.
Female: Wow, so much lens language, if you don't say it, you will slip away from under your nose...
Well, more of it, listen to me!
Here I begin to recall that the camera has many close-ups of a woman’s knees. In addition to the role of a link between the previous and the next, there is also a layer of implication, the subtext, the thing between the legs...
There are also laser sticks, random boxes, lens language, inside Pretending to be the mess!
Female: Yes, yes, I can't see these bright things if you don't say it...
I want to learn from the director. Pay attention to it. This is called lens language. I can't interpret it by myself, don't say that the director didn't work hard!
Watching the fight scene, Li Yuzhen got blood in his eyes, he wiped it, and lowered his head to find that the cuffs were not stained. What does it mean?
Woman: Is the language of the camera hidden here again?
Because Li Yuzhen did a dirty-eyed thing, the so-called don’t be rude, but he tried his best to hide it. Fortunately, the clothes were new and white, indicating his entanglement. At this time, he also had to take care of his face. In the end, it was all to save face and couldn't extricate himself. Li Yu was really hated and wronged until he died!
A detail can directly correspond to those ugly things he did! This is called lens language. There is also Baixue at the end of the film, these are all echoes, face can't stop the lizi...
Female: Well, that's what it means, it is true that he and his sister have done dirty-eyed and shameful things!
Everyone, look at the elder brother and sister flirting in the classroom, look, Li Yuzhen put his sister's clothes across the skirt, and took them off from the inside. You can feel that this kind of unethical behavior is even more face-conscious and more obscure! It's impossible to wander around. Note that these are all carefully thought out and carefully laid out by the director. A woman holding a mirror shows her narcissism.
Female: Ha. It is estimated that a woman like his sister can hardly look at other men, so she can only eat grass on the edge of the nest.
In addition to self-portraits in the mirror, there is also a camera, which shows that my sister is very in love with the face. In fact, these brothers and sisters have the same virtue, and narcissists are like this, ignoring other people’s opinions, ignoring the worldly perspective, and finally still arguing. Look at this kind of dialogue. Li Yuzhen said: We know that we are not cute and love each other, can you do it? As long as we are in love, we are true love, who can do to us? As a result, he was still crushed to death by his tongue, and the bitter fruit he had caused was swallowed by himself. When you laugh, everyone laughs with you, and when you cry, you cry all by yourself. In the end, he could only swallow the bitter fruit by himself. Therefore, the director digs out the flaws in the personality of this pair of siblings, which is true and delicate.
Female: Yes, now I find that the plot is confirmed by the dialogue. I thought that the dialogues of these poems were just for sensationalism! The director has hints in the dialogue, including the theme ideas, to help the audience understand, but many of them are ignored.
Female: Hi, if you don’t understand the movie, how good a classic masterpiece is is wasted. At most, it’s a lively picture! Looking at it now, it really deserves to be a Cannes award-winning work. The story is really rigorous.
Everyone, Wu Daxiu is blowing her head to her daughter. At this time, he doesn't know that it is his own daughter. He also fulfilled that sentence. You laugh alone, everyone laughs with you, you cry alone, and no one cry with you. This sweetness, this love is real, whether it is family affection or sex, can you distinguish it from such a picture? This is what the director wants to express. Do you think such a scene will dirty your eyes?
Woman: Of course not!
So Li Yuzhen finally let go of Wu Daxiu, which also shows that Li Yu really understands love, this is human nature! This is not the behavior of beasts, so it is said in the film that even beasts have the right to live! It should be very touching at this time.
The so-called animal behavior is an unethical behavior defined in the eyes of others, but it does not mean that they do not have true love in their hearts. So the story of the film is the same. Only at the end reveals their father-daughter relationship with siblings. It is to let the audience eat the flies first, and then spit them out. Only by knowing the three flavors can they understand the protagonist's situation.
Woman: Yes, what impressed me the most was this line of dialogue: Even if I am a beast, do I have no right to live?
We say that incest, rape, these are the trips of beasts, but what do beasts and humans have in common? Love! For the love of children, many animals have a blood relationship that is no less than that of humans. There is also hatred, and there is a heart of revenge. These are all animal instincts, which are possessed by humans and animals. Therefore, this line of dialogue just wants to say, Shi the journey of animals and animals, but the hearts of the people are not lost. Just because it is natural and comes from instinct, we don't have to blame ourselves for this kind of mistake, because we have love in our hearts, that love is precious and sincere. Although this kind of love has degenerated from the love of father and daughter, the love of siblings and brothers, to the unclean love that transcends ethics and is despised by the world, this love is the most true and the most beautiful in each other's eyes! One sand and one stone, falling into the quagmire, only to realize that love is so pure and so strong!
We saw that the younger brother was holding the sister’s hand, painful and regretful, and finally entangled until death. On Wu Daxiu’s side, the father’s love for his daughter would rather cut off his tongue to keep this secret for his daughter, so as to save her. soul. Does anyone still say that the love between these two people is impure? The more true the love, the more painful the hurt, the stronger the heart of revenge!
Female: I also said that in the end, Li Yuzhen still let Wu Daxiu go. It should be said that he had already reached the extreme by cutting off his tongue alive. Therefore, seeing Li Yuzhen after the climax, his heart of revenge must have been vented. The key is for him to see. When it comes to Wu Daxiu's fatherly love, what a father does for his daughter is more than his love for his sister.
That's very good! I have always said that the love between two people is based on sincere emotions. The reversal and dislocation of love and family affection is the biggest highlight of the show. It is like a cross. Everyone hangs on their chests, but some people have tattoos on their buttocks. Human love is no less than anyone else. It's like homosexuality, God's joke to humans. Therefore, even if it violates human ethics and social value orientation, it cannot escape the true love and instinct of human nature, or the original sin. If you sum it up in one sentence, it's still something under the crotch, but no one can escape. That's why the two men's revenge battle is so full of enthusiasm, because they both vowed to give everything for their beloved one.
At the end of the film, Wu Daxiu’s expression is crying or laughing, and being loved by his daughter. For her daughter, it is definitely not the love of father and daughter, but the love of lover, but what about?
Let's imagine it this way. If Li Yuzhen sees Wu Daxiu cut his tongue and remains indifferent, then he is really a beast. Why? Because he doesn't understand love, human love can no longer touch this cold-blooded animal! Therefore, these two people are not beasts, and they hate to the bone when they love to the extreme, so there is such a vengeance, one piece of sand and one stone, it is these two people who are involved in an embarrassing situation of being cast aside by the world.
Woman: But there is one of the most important long shots that you didn't explain. All the fans have a deep memory of Wu Daxiu's murder scene. It's so cool!
Yes, it seems that the horizontal version of the game we have played before is actually the language of the lens. This other passage foreshadows...Vagina...
Female: Huh?
xxx...
Female: Loud, haven't you eaten? ...
Vagina...
Female: No way? Don't make this kind of joke, let me tell you...I'm here to learn movies, and I refuse yellow dialect...
what kind of yellow dialect? I didn't want to talk about this paragraph, you have to ask!
Female: No way! You must explain it clearly to me today, or I will sue you for harassment!
Have you noticed this sentence, Wu Daxiu, is very good, this line of dialogue appears repeatedly, in fact, it has its own unique meaning. Since the state of sperm, human beings have been fighting all the way, and in the end they can be the best to get their true body. That is to say, everyone is the best sperm from birth, so the so-called excellence here indicates that human nature and instinct are also It can be called original sin. It can be seen from the film that both Wu Daxiu and Li Yuzhen are the best people, and they are both outstanding people who can stand out in adversity. Li Yuzhen is narcissistic, strong in revenge, dare to love and hate, Wu Daxiu is a real man... the key is that these two men can give everything for love.
Female: Hey? An explanation like yours is neither indecent, but also convincing! It is indeed very artistic! Sure enough, out of original sin and instinct, good people will be at the mercy of fate.
Let’s take a look at the end of the film. The snow-capped mountains
just said, Li Yu is really white. Let’s look at the white snow and mountains again. The camera moves to the left and finds there is a shallow shoal and triangle here. Do you know what I want to say?
Woman: No, it indicates a woman's lower body?
Well, I think you are about to graduate! Nature is like this, God created things to make people! Nature, nature, snow can't cover it. Whether you are sand or stone, you are all the same sinking, and you can't escape your nature. The snow melted, and the nature naturally revealed. The brothers and sisters Li Yuzhen have been covering up and hiding themselves, but these two narcissistic personalities cannot escape their nature and true love. Therefore, the director used this shot very cleverly.
Female: Although the hypnotist has made him forget his other self, the past, what does the footprints on the snow indicate?
Everything has been done, there must be traces. It shows that the old boy can't completely get rid of the shadow of the past anyway.
So how much information is conveyed by a movie? What I just analyzed is all related to art. A large number of metaphors and subtexts are conveyed through the lens, dialogue, and performance, right?
In our film appreciation, what we look at is the language of the lens. The so-called artistic creativity is here, film reviews, why don't you say this?
Woman: My previous understanding of this movie was really superficial. I heard you talk about it.
The biggest difficulty of this film is that I read true love in the so-called nondescript beast behavior, in the relationship between family and friendship. Reverse confusion and confrontation to find beautiful things, revenge, true love. The director always wants to remind the audience to understand the two protagonists from the perspective of human nature and original sin. This requires us to look at this movie with great empathy. , Analyze the two men.
Woman: But, sometimes it feels a little hypocritical...
Didn't you notice that human nature itself is hypocritical! Otherwise, how could there be so many great dramas and so many entangled feelings? The greatness of human nature is often shown in muddy water. This is the story.
Female: I always feel a bit heavy taste.
This is how humanity is entangled and struggling. I haven't heard of any artist who shied away from heavy taste themes. What I see is the various aspects of life.
Female: Makes sense! Hi, I'm still too young, after all, your age is here. I heard that there is a remake of this film, another version of the old boy in the United States.
I also looked at the American version of Old Boy. In fact, I think that if the American director really understood the Korean version of "Old Boy", he would not do anything like this again, because I think the artistic level has reached the extreme in this version. . Including the Cannes award-winning film "Mysterious Eyes" in Argentina, the remake in the United States also failed.
Woman: Wouldn't the remake be successful?
Not necessarily, I think the remake of "Infernal Affairs" is very good, and the artistic appreciation surpassed the first edition, so I won the Oscar crown.
Female: Oh, you are talking about "Infernal Affairs", we are the original and original Infernal Affairs, hey, it's a pity.
Yes, it's a pity! What is the good thing about the specific US remake of Infernal Affairs? What are the things we can learn from? Let me break it down next time.
