When the melodious "Country Knight" rang from my ears, I couldn't calm my excitement. What makes me so moved?
Make it wonderful with sound effects and editing? The subjective lens of the character, because the push-pull lens seems to be an entity, it is watching those things, putting on a picture, speaking other sounds, and muting when appropriate. Not to mention the wonderful editing. A good editing requires a good rhythm. For example, in "The Silent Lambs", Starling hunts Buffalo Bill. First, she shows a frontal shot of her holding a gun, and then gives a subjective shot of her. The frontal shot lets us know her reaction and lets us more. Bringing into the character, the subjective lens makes us think about the character. In front of the lens of the "night vision goggles", the two kinds of lens reciprocate in about the same time, forming a beautiful rhythm. And "Angry Bull" can be said to be a model of cutting, and the rhythm formed by the shots makes people's blood pulse.
Is it its wonderful audiovisual language? Is it full of lens sense?
Was it the scene where Jack and Vicky met when she met him across the line that separated them?
Is it the scene of Jack talking with his brothers, they are not standing in the mirror position to show that their communication is blocked?
After Jack lost, the two supporters stood on the right side, deepening the heavy shot?
Is it the famous Steadicam?
Or this famous lens?
Or is the actor's superb acting skills, did De Niro deliberately gain weight for this drama that moved me?
Or perhaps the important factor that made him one of the greatest actors on the planet: his eyes
Of course, I also love Joe Pesci
is that all? Yes, but it's not just these.
He is a real bull. The desire for victory made him lose his sense of security. It made him keep going, from the peak to the bottom, to the path of self-destruction. Love has failed, champions have been lost, glory has become a bubble, all pursuits have lost their meaning, and only the pursuit itself is truly meaningful.
Sagan said: "Life is a drag racing, I have the right to self-destruct." In the bull's life, even if the excitement of his life could not bring anything, it ended up in an extremely ironic nihility. But that character moved us forever. We may not find meaning, but in front of the Sisyphus stone, we always have to find a little dignity.
