can't hold a teardrop when I grieve with empty hands
-
There is a scene in Haizi's "Diary" where Alex is wandering on a skateboard in the wild grass. There are more sets of shots, concrete pipes, slopes, a lot of noise is deliberately added to the film, the lens is shaken, and the focus is zoomed in and out.
There is also a fixed long shot of taking a shower, the sound of water flowing through the electrical noise in the background, so long that it may burst the alveoli for one more second. No wonder the New York Times did not hesitate to describe the visual effects of the film when it introduced paranoid park.
Like elephants, everything is light and invisible, and there is a deep hysteria at the bottom. I originally thought that what kind of entanglement would lead to a manslaughter, but it turned out that it was only a moment, and anyone could encounter it, so the trajectory of life has slipped to the far side since then. Half of the people are crawling on the ground. The close-up of the old security guard and the boy's faces. One doesn't seem to be in great pain, and the other doesn't seem to be terrified, but the endless fear is hidden under the calm expression.
Music and actors are the two highlights, whether it's the soft-spoken folk or the crazy metal, it's just right. The director started recruiting roles on myspace the year before last, so none of those young teenagers had been professionally trained, and their wide eyes were clear and bottomless. In addition, the girl who played Alex's girlfriend was very beautiful, with soft blonde hair - the first of the two. The part of making love once.
There is a dialogue that is very vague, I don't know if it is expressing something. The girl who looked precocious and wiser than Alex's girlfriend asked Alex what he thought of the Iraq war, and the boy said, I don't know, I don't care, I don't like to read the news about the war in the newspapers. Every generation has its perplexities.
The phone was cut off, the flames soared, and the eyes and soul were free. The story ends abruptly here. It is said that Garth van Sant made a lot of changes to the original, making it "a work of art that exploits the plasticity of his own medium to eerie, at times rapturous effect", although I haven't read the original, I have I think so.
