understand and present

Looking at Bergman is like seeing a mountain

I watched Bergman's "Marriage Story" a few days ago, and the thorough understanding and presentation of marriage was really shocking. Yesterday, I watched this "Autumn Sonata" again. These two films are composed of a large number of character dialogues, and there will not be too many gorgeous scenes, which will instead allow the audience's attention to focus more on the dialogue and the subtle emotional changes of the characters. Such a shooting method is probably a coincidence. Because of this method, it is no longer relying on a clever plot to prop up a movie, but like writing a novel, burying all the characters and weaknesses in the words of the dialogue, only a master can Get it right.

This is a story about the contradiction between mother and daughter. In fact, the word contradiction is not very accurate, but I didn't think of an accurate word to replace it. I have seen many movies with similar themes before, either itchy or just tasted, like Xu Anhua's "Autumn Hate", it doesn't mean that the filming is not good, but compared to you, you will find "Autumn Sonata" 》It is very difficult to get closer to the truth, and this kind of truth can be presented to the extreme.

Whether it is a good literary work or a movie, one is to understand first, and then present it, and "understanding" is difficult for more than 90% of people, so what is presented will always make people feel that there is a kind of detachment feel. After I said this sentence, I realized that it seemed to suddenly come out of my heart, answering my previous confusion.

In an episode of "Thirteen Invitations", Xu Zhiyuan interviewed Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng rarely showed his true side in this episode of the show. He admitted that it was difficult for him to read a book, and he wanted to sleep when he got a book, but At the same time, he also said that he liked Lou Ye very much, but he was afraid that the other party would look down on him. At that moment, I suddenly understood why most of Xu Zheng's films are comedies like the one they are now, and it is difficult to dig deeper into it, because As a creator, he himself did not go into "understanding" first.

Sometimes I often think about how many directors like Bergman, Yang Dechang, Ang Lee, and Hirokazu Shiekeda have to go through, how many times they have soberly watched human relationships, so that they can have such a real understanding of life, and how real life is. presentation.

Probably, it's like a knife, you have to stab yourself to know how much it hurts, and then you can tell others how much it hurts.
