His films always describe the pain of growing up, and even the pain is beautiful. He can photograph this small island country beautifully. In his "Love Letter", when Miho Nakayama shouted in the snow, the delicate and fragile pure beauty rushed to the face, becoming both Nakayama's and Iwai's. This reminds me of a sentence that a writer commented on Pasternak's poetry collection "Gemini in the Twilight": with a crystal-like pure beauty, but also like a crystal-like radiance of a certain persistence . "Swallowtail Butterfly" makes you think he is rock, psychedelic rock, Dou Wei's kind.
In addition to pure beauty, Iwai's films are cruel, simply cruel. His "All About Lily Zhou" took my breath away. How cruel. Is this what youth is like? Reminds me of Kim Ki-duk, who also used this neat way to express the most plain but most shocking feeling in his heart. Like Su Shi, he is good at expressing extraordinary feelings in a plain way. Back in the movie, Flower and Alice are two beautiful girls, I was afraid that he would turn them into Lesbians, but suddenly I was expecting them to be Lesbians. Iwai didn't move in this more roomy direction, but it was normal for the two girls to fall in love. Very cliché is the love triangle. But it's this very cliché story, Iwai makes it lively and interesting, it's the most light-hearted movie Iwai has other than "Love Letter".
The picture is beautiful often seen in Korean and Japanese films. He made the place where the flowers live full of flowers, which is really beautiful. Alice's long hair is also beautiful, just like her youthful youth. One of the most surprising episodes for me was interviews with some girls. Alice began to be very cramped, just like her previous unsuccessful but sincere interviews, when she started to dance the ballet she was good at lightly with dancing shoes made of paper cups and tape, she almost forgot about herself, a kind of no one else. freedom to dance in your own world. The Iwai shot at this time was very clean. It was a simple subjective shot, and it was the amazement of those onlookers. I think they, like me, not only marveled at how she could dance with a small paper cup, but also marveled at the agile youth she waved. The chorus is the simple piano that Iwai likes, plus the violin, where the violin is not about melancholy, but the lubricant that makes the shot smooth. Music has no melody but notes, not accompaniment, but notes that flow with Alice's lightness as she dances. From her confident face, from her beautiful eyes, and from that wonderful pointe dance. It's so beautiful. Alice, who is wearing a school uniform and stepping on a paper cup, is like an elf. She is wasting her youth, but she is so sad that people can't help but think that such a delicate girl will have a time when her years will pass. At that time This kind of dancing youth will definitely make her feel embarrassed. Just like now I mourned for her youth. However, she felt that time would be so pity on her that she couldn't bear to speed up. This is the most commonly used by Shunji Iwai.
There is also the scene that moved my heart. Hua and the boy were in the classroom. He already knew that Hua was lying to him. At that time, there was a big Astro Boy looking at them with a smile, hehe... Astro Boy. The light is also so natural. I have to mention the photographer Shinoda Shinoda. He participated in all of Iwai's works. He is an important link in the establishment of Iwai's style, but he has not become a director's voice. He still stubbornly uses his own style. Even at the expense of arguing with the director. Stubbornness is also a characteristic of the Yamato nation. Such a person who has cooperated with many excellent directors, but is not an executor of the director's vision, besides sighing his keenness, he is delighted for the future of Chinese photographers. Hou Yong and Gu Changwei are no longer satisfied with being a pen, they began to do A narrator who tells everyone the story in their hearts. Shinoda Noi likes to use natural light. However, it is often possible to use plain light to create fantastic colors of light and shadow. He just passed away not long ago. "Calling Love in the Center of the World" is his masterpiece. I bought it and love the lengthy name.
There is no such thing as a good person and a bad person in Iwai's films, and the two girls didn't break up because of that silly boy, that boy, with a bit of a lack of character, is more like a symbol, I think, they see any one in the subway station Everyone can be their topic. This goes on for a long time, Kielovsky's favorite subject, the subtle changes in life create chance, and there is also inevitability. Don't say this. That boy has the handsomeness of Kashiwahara Takashi, strangely, Japanese boys are always so handsome. And, especially feminine. But he's always goofy and makes me wonder why two girls like him. Even the club he joined was the worst cross talk. Hey, stand-up comedy reminds me of Ma Sanli. Takeshi Kitano also talks about cross talk, it turns out. The boy's cross talk was the same as his, stupid, and he kept chanting and chanting, the same mantra. What life is infinite. The translators are lovely to put a "spell" on a place like this. The most striking thing is his voice and expression of surprise, which is the best description of the word astonished. At the end, I didn't show everyone who this somewhat dumb boy was the "trophy" or the smiles of two girls, so innocent. I think this is the purest movie I've ever seen. After watching those masters I think it's so easy. After seeing those betrayals and desires, I feel so simple and pure.
He Ping said that the film is a dialogue between the director and the audience. After all, there are not many audiences who can talk to Bergman. But I believe that this film, anyone who has been young can have a cordial conversation with it. I admire the youth of these two girls, the youth I have had. But suddenly I feel that I am getting old, and those simple years are gone. Thinking of more complex issues, survival or destruction. Emotions are also more complicated and make people more tired. This film seems to be saying that such pure emotion still exists, but you accidentally lost it in the process of growing up. The kind of person who falls in love with a person because of the way he reads, or likes her because of the same name, or likes her for no reason at all. It is a pity that such a simple life, such a simple liking, will no longer exist. In the film, Alice was greeted by two models during her interview, and Alice smiled happily. However, the friendliness suddenly turned into ridicule, and Alice was not disappointed, but expressed herself bravely. Because of her youth.
I like the image of Alice, not only her beauty. She is persistent. I have always admired persistent people. Interview again and again, still so calm and calm to prepare for the next time. She is very kind. Alice once persuaded an autistic little girl to learn ballet. This is an invitation from the kind world to her. I'm sure this little girl will never come out of Olive Stone or Kim Kidd. Olive would have her raped by her father's or simply intruding strangers, and then become a witch; Kim Ki-duk would have the girl keep her face expressionless and do cruel things to herself. Iwai Shunji asked her to dance ballet, ballet, what a pure dance, only Iwai Shunji can do it. He is like Oscar Wilde, the representative of 19th-century aestheticism. It's always been so beautiful.
When you are dissatisfied with yourself and life, you should watch Iwai Shunji's films, so you will feel that, in fact, I have done such sweet things, but I have grown up now, and I have touched too much on the way of growing up of dust. After reading it, you will feel that you have become pure.
