If Zhao Zhongxiang lived in the United States, received a philosophical education, and picked up a camera or a guide tube, then he might become Malik, after all, they are all friends of nature.
Returning to this film, I have to say that "To Wonderland" is still Malik, still MTV style.
Directors who dare to shoot like this are very courageous, especially in the United States, the super movie arena with Hollywood narrative as the mainstream, can shoot like this, only shoot their inner feelings, and have a unique understanding of the film, which is destined to be a niche. , destined to abandon the public, but fans flock to it, just like my generation.
This time, Malik still continues the free wide-angle lens movement, and the photography style is as beautiful as ever. The biggest inspiration to me is that Malik's narration is like a whisper, a whisper, a weeping, a lover in the ear, and the ears are rubbing together. , whispered. Such an effect can create a private movie viewing experience. If it is narrated loudly, it will naturally alarm more people, but Malick's narration is inspired by magic, the protagonist's deep affection, the call to lovers, and the loyalty to loyalty. Torture, all in the period.
The director has been creating an interim effect, that is, the separation of sound and picture. As for what the characters say in the story, it is no longer important. We can see the actions and expressions of the characters, which is enough. Like many vulgar love stories, it doesn't bring us any new discoveries. The reason why Malick is Malick lies in his bold experiments, which we can call transcendentalism. The reason why art films are fascinating is that they need to constantly explore and broaden the spiritual boundaries of human cognition. In this sense, Malick is undoubtedly worthy of admiration and admiration.
Through the free movement of the camera, Malick is looking for the meaning of freedom, just like a bird with wings, we follow the bird's eyes to rediscover the freedom at the end of the world and the true meaning of life.
