Fuck! ! ! Quentin's film!
Shit! ! ! Turns out to be his debut!
Asshole! ! It's another Cult movie with violent blood and swear words!
How many "fuck" did the whole movie say! Is there any number of people? Or does the "fuck" in all Quentin's movies exceed the sum of all the "fuck" in movie history lines?
It feels that every actor's lifelong swear words are finished in this movie, and when he is alone he talks to himself fucking! When two people scold fuck! When a group of people scold each other fuck! I even felt that when I turned off the player at the end, the buzzing in my head was all fuck! fuck! fuck!
Quentin is definitely a chattering director, which is the same as Woody Allen who is a literary style. Quentin follows a violent aesthetic chattering style, and Woody Allen is a humorous literary chattering style. They are the kind of directors who make people love and dislike: people who like them inspire carnivals, and people who hate them sneer.
But in comparison, Quentin’s type of chatter is definitely not my favorite style.
I only watched one "Shameless Bastard" before his movie. In the movie, except for Brad Pitt, who is handsome, I couldn't help but curse after watching the whole movie: fuck, what the hell! When I think about it, it feels like a really awesome movie, like the feeling of "Budapest Hotel" to me. It's been four years since I watched these two films, and think about how far away it was to be in contact with such an incredible film at that time.
After watching "Falling Water Dog" today, I still have the feeling: shit! What is this movie! ! There is no suspenseful plot, no fierce gunfights, no cool visual effects in the whole movie. There are only six bank robbery criminals chatting and talking, then dialogue, or dialogue... and even listen to the "flat-faced" Kun Ting always said dick, dick, dick, dick...
How "boring" a director can make such a "boring movie" in this way!
Guicai Director, Guicai knows what he is thinking!
But I have to say that Quentin's "fuck" movie style is very brilliant and very flattering. He is deviating from the step-by-step artistic style of traditional movies, and doing the opposite, using an alternative violent aesthetic style to interpret a more incredible movie style.
We don't even need to understand what the story is about at the end of the movie. Just taking a few shots from the movie is enough to make people watch as exciting and exciting as drinking marijuana! And this movie style is destined that he cannot be accepted by everyone as a fast-moving consumer like a purely mass consumer movie. He belongs to a non-mainstream field but can be greatly sought after by certain groups.
Unlike Wu Yusen and Takashi Miike, their violent aesthetic styles are slightly different. They tend to be more commercial in their treatment of violent aesthetic films, while Quentin is completely self-entertaining, and has a somewhat stubborn feeling of "playing movies". This can be seen from his "Shameless Bastard" and this "Falling Dog".
I used to think that Kubrick's movies were enough to drive me crazy, but I didn't expect Quentin's movies to make me crazy!
Come back to the movie "The Dog in the Falling Water".
The film is a criminal robbery movie. It is a bank robbery movie "Hot Day Afternoon" that I watched at the beginning of the month. The style of "Falling Water Dog" simply abandons the conventional robbery idea and became a chat style held by several robbers after the failed robbery. "Round Table Meeting". And this Rashomon-like criminal dialogue film shows Quentin's style vividly and vividly.
The story of the film originated from the gang boss Joe. He assembled six people who did not know each other to form a bank robbery gang. They used Mr. Bai, Mr. Orange, Mr. Jin, Mr. Pink, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Blue as their codes of action. , Do not disclose any privacy to each other.
The robbery ended in failure because a police undercover agent was mixed into the six people. Six people died and escaped. The living people slowly gathered in the planned assembly point warehouse, and a policeman was kidnapped.
And the movie starts with accusing them of each other, suspicion about who is the undercover agent, and interspersed with narratives of what each of them experienced during the robbery. This kind of Rashomon-style suspicion did not end well. In the end, the opponent was forced to kill during the argument. The most timid Mr. Fan took the advantage of the fisherman and took the robbed diamond.
At the end of the film, Mr. Orange, who was bleeding too much, told Mr. Bai "I am a policeman." Mr. Bai, who had always maintained that Mr. Orange was not a policeman, cried in despair. He picked up a gun and pointed it at Mr. Orange's head. What followed was that the police had just come and berated Mr. Bai to put down the gun in his hand. At this time, the camera turned to a close-up, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three shots shot, and the movie ended.
With such an open ending, the audience didn't figure out who died in the end! Silently fucked, unexpectedly being teased by Quentin again!
Of course, "Falling Dog", which is not "pleasing" to me, still has a paragraph that I like, that is, the scene where Mr. Orange played by Tim Rose gets involved in the process of robbers. Earlier, he had been appreciated by the gang boss Joe and had the opportunity to join the robbery team. For this reason, he began to train himself to be a gangster gangster.
The most exciting thing is that he told several other accomplices in the bar about his fabricated drug sales experience. The lighting of this scene uses a bright blood red, and the side light hits Mr. Orange’s face. This effect is very well contrasted. It shows the strong contrast of his transformation from a policeman to a robber. At the same time, he performed Mr. Orange's wonderful personal "talk show" performance more exciting and exciting. The feeling of red is more passionate.
Later, the camera flashed back to the scene where he encountered four policemen in the toilet while selling drugs. During the shots between the bar and the toilet, he slowly became Mr. Orange talking about his sales to the four stationary policemen in the toilet. Poison experience. Suddenly one of the police officers shouted "Shut up", the dog stopped yelling, Mr. Orange stopped talking, and then it was the policeman's turn to start telling about his experience of arresting a criminal.
The excessiveness of this picture made me enjoy watching, the transition from static to dynamic, from subjective to objective, the expression of this lens can be said to be very wonderful.
What’s more exciting is the slow motion picture of the next shaking. Mr. Orange turns on the dryer. The noise of the dryer masks the speech of the police, the roar of the dog, the sound of the environment... Mr. Orange enjoys it contemptuously, and then calmly Leaving the toilet with a big bag of marijuana.
A coherent shot transforms Mr. Orange from the jerky image of a mess into a young and Dangerous You Tiao, which is vivid and vivid.
In general, this violent aesthetic, non-linear narrative, and verbose movie "Falling Water Dog", just like Quentin himself, makes people love and hate. I dare not say that I like his movie style. But I have to admire the five bodies of such a "ghost director".
We must admire those directors who express the film art perfectly, but we also have to admit that Quentin's style of slanting forward is also needed to broaden the breadth of the film field.
And as Quentin’s debut, "Falling Water Dog" is really damn awesome!
After writing this, I fucking want to show all Quentin's movies out again!
