1. Opening The opening of
a movie determines the tone of the whole movie . The opening of the changing Zi Su Yun has two meanings. One is to enter the game from the entire city, which basically shows that this is not a small urban story. Rather, it's a grand narrative, which is necessary because it's easy to get caught up in a personal relationship and ignore that it's a history. The second is to use the technique of black and white to color, with the assistance of music, to establish the light and tragic color of the story early.
2. Foreshadowing
(getting up and going to school in the morning) through a simple question and answer between mother and son, and completed a sketch of family love, it is particularly worth noting that the director took great pains to pass through two shots (one is to send the child to school, and the other is to sit alone with Julie. In the car) explained one thing that the mother and the child's school are not on the same road, the director used two directions and Julie sat in two opposite positions to indicate that.
(Corporate footage) Here we know that Julie is a supervisor, and she is a supervisor in terms of communication and clearing up misunderstandings. This is a huge foreshadowing. In the future events, her calmness seems logical, and her story is It seems more tragic and representative.
(Going home from school) A dialogue about the fight clearly explained the family situation, the reasons for the situation, and the mother's educational attitude towards the child.
(Conversation before going to bed) Constructing a kind of family love with the gradually distant and fragmented dialogue between mother and son, this gradually weakening dialogue brings the audience into the ravings of the mother and the mother before going to bed when they were young. It seems illogical, but It is the warmest feeling. One of the incidents was explained, that is, I have to go to a movie the next day, it doesn't matter what I watch, the key is that the movie says to watch a movie, especially the family, and most of them can't watch it.
turning point
(Received a phone call from the company) This paragraph is actually both a foreshadowing and a turning point. As expected, the audience will not be able to watch the movie, and if the movie cannot be watched, bad things must happen. This is an iron rule, but here In the segment performance, the child performed particularly well, fully expressing the whole loss and independence. When watching this section again after watching this film, the child said, I'm not afraid of anything, which made one's nose sour, because he did it, although the consequence was that he would never see his mother, but he really did it. And the goodbye in front of the window was just a small reluctance to say goodbye, and again, it turned out to be Yongjue. These details give the film a bizarre twist, which is that when you know the outcome, the story doesn't get boring, it becomes more intriguing. It feels like I want to relive every second I have with you, but I can only control the movie on the mouse, but I can't bring my life back.
(Company) The scene in the company Julie is restless, looking at the time on the clock from time to time, obviously it has exceeded the promised 4 o'clock, Damn it, maybe this extra hour makes the whole story slip into the abyss . On the way off work, the supervisor stopped Julie to talk about the promotion. Julie was anxious and perfunctory, and finally missed the bus. She even used handheld shooting in the middle, and the music seemed a little disturbing. Miss one after another, any one may be The cause of the big mistake.
(Walter is missing) This is a search scene, and there are two details that are worth noting, one is that the little girl said to Julie, SORRY. There's nothing worth saying SORRY without seeing Walter, it's a contrast to Julie's emotions, and the third-party reaction is used to show how much the protagonist's emotions affect. The second detail is Jolie's smile for a moment after hearing the child's voice, and then she finds out that it is not the fading smile. This is a very small detail. Jolie's performance is very perfect, and she grasps the hearts of the audience.
(Reporting the case) Reporting the case is a wonderful performance, basically a one-man show of Julie. She made the phone call calmly, endured, suppressed, pleaded, and almost lost control in the end. The performance was very layered. But the indifferent voice on the phone represents an attitude: the system, you, everyone, this vaguely shows that the voice representing public power after the phone call treats one person as everyone without distinction, and everyone is just a job That's it.
(Pastorian speech) The sudden insertion of the pastoral speech took the story to another level, that the confrontation happened, a dissatisfaction with public power was happening, and there were many advocates, plus the police chief brutally turned off the broadcast footage, Julie's private story is being elevated to a much broader, in-depth level.
(Waiting) In the middle, the time is displayed, comforting, and the police station is constantly called to show the waiting. In the middle, there is a shot of Julie's boss looking at her from the door. There is no doubt that it connects the supervisor of the company and Julie to talk and watch. The scene where she leaves is also a foreshadowing of the emotional line. The director has a good grasp of the rhythm, which not only prevents him from stealing the story, but also prevents the audience from forgetting.
(Restaurant) In the restaurant, the initial origin of another child is explained, and the waiting and finding are separated in the middle to make the rhythm of the film appear calm and avoid haste.
Four, Turning 2
(find) This is a fake sweet scene, short, and also a short honeymoon period for Julie and the public power, although this scene makes me wonder, the captain's eyes are full of tenderness, as if completely unaware that this is a hoax, Later facts proved that the captain really didn't know, but the fake son finally said something puzzling. This can only prove the power and complexity of public power, and even the people in it don't know the truth at all.
(Train Station) The reporters and captains at the railway station said that everyone liked the happy ending, indicating that this reunion was a show. This secretly coincided with the police chief turning off the radio. It was a media voice against another media voice. . This kind of confrontation kept appearing from the beginning of the pastor's section.
(Reunion) This fake reunion seems a bit absurd. The story naturally falls into the way of telling the story that M is the murderer. The story falls into a larger background level and develops in the direction of history. The captain represents the public power. The individual firmly believed in professional judgment, and the greater public power regarded it as a confrontation show, and Julie entered a period of isolation.
(Reporter interview) Julie didn't realize what was going on, she was directly pulled into the spotlight, she was a little awake, the children and the police became the protagonists, we noticed that there was even a rotating shot in the middle, but its speed was affected by it. Slowed down, making an orgasm-like scene even more unreal and alienating. Julie's reaction should be passive, but it also reflects a certain professionalism. The passive reaction brought by the unreality of various calls she faces every day also appears logically here. She controls her emotions and wants to figure out things. , has even been dubious.
(In the car going back) This makes me a little confused, that kid stares at Julie and laughs, Julie looks unnatural, I understand Julie's unnaturalness, but I don't know why that dead kid is smiling.
(Doubt) Doubt is also made up of details, the change in the mantra, the foreskin, the change in height, it is worth noting that the director chose this child to have a really bad face, which is in sharp contrast with the missing Walter. A kind of psychological suggestion, if the child is not worthy of beating, it is difficult for the audience to dislike this child on behalf of Julie. After all, we look at other people's children like other people's pets, and it is the same for everyone, as long as they can be beautiful.
(Confrontation 2) Julie went to the police station for help. During the whole process, the captain looked at the work in his hand while talking to Julie, metaphorically speaking, Julie was no different from that piece of paper to the captain, until Julie got out of control and said The matter of foreskin should be considered a secret in those days, especially not from a high-ranking woman, which made the captain a little embarrassed. The whole police station did not pay attention to the height, but paid attention to the foreskin. It should be said that the height has changed. Shorter is more bizarre, but there is no doubt that it is not topical, only the foreskin.
(Intensified) In the captain's office, the captain regained his composure and continued to treat Paper and Julie indiscriminately until Julie questioned the captain's own behavior, which was a shift, questioning public authority and questioning himself are different , the captain is an indistinguishable employee in public power, and administrative doubts do not matter, but the questioning himself caused the captain to fight back fiercely. Then the conflict intensified, the captain began to question Julie's own character, Julie went from calm to out of control, and the captain regained her calm after finding a good reason, Julie made an appeal here, don't stop looking for my real son. In the middle, Julie changed her emotions very well and used various ways to communicate, which secretly fits her profession and seems credible. But this is also the key point of the tragedy of the story. This obstacle between public power and civilians is not in communication, but an absolute unequal relationship that restricts communication. The director in the middle even gave a front and back shot, in which the characters didn't talk too much, creating a scene that seemed to be reconciled, and then the captain responded and called a medical expert.
As far as the captain is concerned, he has acted administratively, and as far as the audience is concerned, the director has created an illusion of reconciliation, fully paving the way for the next twist.
5. Turning 3
(Doctor) The appearance of the doctor seems very calm, and Julie is also full of expectations. During the appearance, the director uses a frosted glass door to separate their dialogue, implying that they are in two worlds, even if they can see each other, but the gap is huge. This movie uses Julie to the extreme. The transitions and emotional changes are all undertaken by Julie alone. To be honest, it really shouldn't be for the best actress Oscar, or because Kate Lewinsky in the reader is too good All right. Another day I will pull down the reader to take a look. The transition of this scene is also from the doctor saying that the child is like Julie, and then the expression of Julie begins to change from hope to doubt to anger to depression. We can see that this doctor did not come to solve the problem, but just to find a way to explain the problem, and the real director chose a bad face to appear, increasing the audience's hatred of public power. When the doctor took the child out to hang out, the director gave Julie a shadow, and Julie fell into the darkness from then on.
To be honest, I really feel that this film abuses Jolie's performance and makes it bigger than everything else in the movie.
(Call) Julie was in despair when she was talking to the captain, all she asked was for the police to continue looking for her real son, and the captain told her it was over after the report was handed in. This is a job, and the job is done not in the truth, but in the procedure. Julie completely lost control after hanging up the phone in this segment, but what surprised and puzzled me was the child's performance. To be honest, I have never understood the expression and performance of this dead child. I don't know why he is so calm. , I don't know what the director meant when he filmed this kid's expression, just to make him even more rude?
(Night persuasion) In the middle of the night, Julie communicated with the child. She once again showed her communication skills. This was another effort after she lost control. Unfortunately, it still failed. I really don’t know that death. What is the child thinking.
(Pastor's call) The pastor's call officially brought personal feelings and small events into the historical dimension. He was calm and wanted to contribute to the change of public power, but he did not rule out that it contained a myth that theocracy saves democracy. This is Christians often advertised.
(Breakfast) The breakfast highlights the calmness of the pastor, analyzing the incident from a larger level. In this incident, he was a bystander and a sober one, indicating that he had accumulated strength and capital for confrontation, and officially announced this. It is a confrontation between justice and public power. In the middle of the movie, the dark public power was officially put on the table, homicide, corruption, these things that have nothing to do with finding children came to the table, in fact, I personally think that these involvements are short-lived in the whole plot. It was as if a gangster film was suddenly inserted, which brought a small hole to the rhythm of the whole film.
