Preface: The title of this topic is written with a bit of love, sin and sin.. But the content is written with more love, then it's not my sin It is the sin of the movie itself. Because of my friends in the media, I was able to see this movie in the cinema ahead of time. I thought it would not be introduced, so I watched it once on disc. To be honest, I slept three times before I watched it continuously, and every time I watched it again, the sadness caused by the image came again and again, the difference is that the theater version cut out a lot of scenes as I expected, although it didn't take long , but the loss of these lenses, the power of the film itself is a relief for many. so I still see myself thin version from the movie talk about
a lot of people before the
The chaos of
Life is full of hope, and Only children are the hope of the world. There are many depictions of children in the movie. There are six children in total, divided into three age groups. The two children of Richard and Susan are the youngest, one boy and one girl. They have an excellent life and a good living environment. They have been taken care of by their nanny since they were young. They can be described as flowers in the greenhouse. When the nanny takes them out of the garden and into that completely different Mexico, they feel natural. Frightened, the young man broke the neck of a chicken in an instant. A few minutes ago, the chicken was still the playmate of the children. They just thought it was a game of catching chickens. In the movie, this pair of children reflects their helplessness in the face of unexpected circumstances. Their problem of being involved and completely losing their ability to adapt is extremely serious. It is even more obvious that In the course of the encounter between these two children, the unequal treatment and discrimination of Mexican mothers was vividly and cruelly portrayed.
The two sons and one daughter of a ranch farmer are in stark contrast to the children of Richard and his wife. The family's living environment is poor. They make a living by shepherding sheep. Wei didn't say a single line, because it was too boring, she just often deliberately undressed to show her brother, what etiquette and morality, in this remote mountain and wilderness, there is no concept of social norms. Both brothers are unkempt , the elder brother is old and solid, and the younger brother is smart and alert. The two brothers who are too boring, but do not understand the outside world, they are interested in their own game world, for them, a .27 rifle means just a toy, just like that one Like a chicken, it is alive and well, but taking the bus as a shooting target has also led to the whole conflict. The youthful ignorance has paid a heavy price, and this price is the price of blood and the price of the whole life. Susan's blood the child's blood, splashing in the mud in the chaos of rocks, a dark sun Chende is very bleak, in the movies, this poor family, is the maker of the original accident, but also the expense of the largest family ....
also There is another girl, Hui Yi, who lives in the city of Tokyo. Although she is already a teenager, in the movie, Keiko is far from mature as an adult. She is like a child. What she needs most when she is growing up is Family, friendship and love are indispensable, and the warmth and care of the people around her is an extravagant hope in her life. Her mother committed suicide, and her friends are suddenly far and near. In the film, the depiction of her is a kind of detachment. The complex interaction between the living state and the empty inner world repeatedly emphasized that Keiko was born deaf and mute, and could not accept the unequal treatment of herself by others. In the absurdity of self-indulgence and self-indulgence, Keiko has nothing to do with the accident that happened in another country. The director's intention is to use the connection of a shotgun to take the opportunity to show the confusion and helplessness of this youthful world. From the six children's Judging from the story, it can be clearly seen that the happiness of children in each family is sometimes opposite to material abundance. The children of the ranch are satisfied with the stone throwing competition, so that they can enjoy the plain life in the playfulness of running in the wind. The pure innocence is not relieved by the poverty of the family. Keiko has a wealthy family, but she never finds happiness by herself. She is always trapped in the nightmares of others, and all happiness and happiness are at a loss. .
The appearance of a child in this film is a very special existence. From a distance, it is a kind of hopeful starlight, the light is faint but eternally flickering, but when you get close, it is a kind of starlight when you look closely. The bleak brilliance, every family in the film has children, the story of the film is also opened with children as the protagonist of the event, Richard and his wife have a rift because of the death of the youngest child, Amelia (Mexican maid) because of two The superiority of children is discriminated against, and the farmer commits crimes because of his son's youthful restlessness... The innocent childhood was shattered by nightmares, and tears quietly slipped on each child's face, bringing unspeakable sadness, Every face is quietly frozen with close-up shots. In the darkest night, these children, whether lucky or unfortunate, will eventually bloom with the brightest and most eternal light...
The soundtrack and techniques of the film Needless to say, close-up, wide-angle, always jumping like this, the frozen grief, the loneliness of Guangliao, and the slightly trembling lens, not only can people experience the fate of the characters with deep feelings, The dazed helplessness can make people feel the inner fluctuations of the characters deeply. There are two scenes in it that are very touching. The first is when Keiko and her friends gathered at the bar to have fun, facing the dancers in the sky. At the scene of the riot, the silent world appeared in Keiko's mind from time to time, and the intoxicated faces looked pale and blank under the laser light. I believe the director's method is still used to express Keiko's psychological state, and you can imagine when you are happy and satisfied. I could hear the agitation of the voice, and at the moment of depression and hesitation, I lost all perception and fantasy. When the movie theater was showing this scene, a handsome guy next to him shouted loudly: Hey, why is there no sound... .It was so sturdy that I had to give him a look. Another scene is when the helicopter came to the village to rescue Susan who was shot. That piece of continuous string music, at first it was a violent torrential rain, and the music poured in. The silent dialogue of characters penetrated into the roar of the helicopter, which seemed to be more and more disturbing. Susan was sent to the hospital, her nervousness was relieved, and the music began to slow down, but it was still incoherent. Occasionally a few random tones, long and deep, the breath of sadness and emptiness diffused beside the hospital phone, followed by Richard's sorrowful cry, echoing in the emptiness. In this scene, if you indulge in it with your heart , The intense sadness emanating from the movie can definitely be felt... Maybe, this is the magic of mixing music and pictures, which is the stubborn power of the movie itself.
Overall, "Babel Tower" is indeed a touching film, with surprising entry points and a somewhat surprising display stand. Through an unexpected event, it connects people living under different cultures. The confusion, feelings, and communication between each other have become the main aspects of the film. On the other hand, the production of multinational forces in the film is also one of the origins of the film's power. The differences brought together by these people also make the film itself full of the source of communication and communication. The whole film starts from the cutting into the living conditions of children in various regions, and staggers the different childhood lives together cruelly and calmly. It is full of tension and touching. When accepting the images of this film, if the viewer goes deeper, the more bleak the perception, I believe there will be more resonance, because the images in the film are ruthless, calm and calm. The power of an extremely realistic expression is quite huge... Walking out of the theater, all living beings are still chatting and laughing. How many of them are really hiding their sadness, holding hope, and heading towards a happy spring with joy? ?
Conclusion: I wrote so much without knowing it, and lost its coherence, because I fell asleep last night, and I didn't read some words again. I felt that recalling it again would only add to the painful memory. Thinking of the last question Yes, do we still need such profound films to stimulate insensitive humanity?
