The text of the movie "Three Billboards" is a carefully calculated premium product (MADE IN USA), but if a movie text is an American "premium product", what is the general standard for premium products?
Let's talk about "advanced" first. The advanced level of the text firstly means an ingenious design in terms of literature and structure, which saves him from becoming a superhero movie. So how high can this high-end product be? For the movie "Three Billboards" I'm going to talk about today, it is a high-quality academic film, yes, it is a typical Oscar Style. From the perspective of narrative skills, the literary nature of the film text, and the social nature of the subject matter, "Three Billboards" is a very readable work, and it has reached a high level of technology and professionalism. Too much in line with academic tastes.
Secondly, from the audience, who are the consumers of high-end goods? Consumers of high-end goods are mostly high-end people. Of course, for art products such as movies, the so-called high-end people generally refer to people with a higher taste for film appreciation. In individual cases, this can often be out of touch with material and social status, but in terms of trends, there is still a positive correlation. Who was the "Three Billboards" filmed for? It was an academic judge, a group with a higher level of education. This determines that this film needs a certain degree of "literature" and "social criticism" that are both refined and popular.
High-end goods are also commodities after all. The post-modern aesthetics at the philosophical level often do not favor commodities, and commodities have never been a derogatory term for me. Commodities represent a common value and have a certain universality. I have the hard currency of artistic creation, and for "Three Billboards", as the hard currency of commodities, I don't think it is the usual Hollywood classic narrative, but the creation of extremely good characters, "Three Billboards" It was the victory of the group drama. The stubborn mother, the kind-hearted sheriff, and detective Dixon were all unforgettable.
The third reason is why it must be emphasized that this is an "American" high-end product, because the text of "Three Billboards" has strong American characteristics. The film is full of violent feelings, which are dissatisfaction with the status quo of American society: venting of social security, mutual distrust of police and civilians, racial discrimination, and social divisions, emotionally expressed is the various behind the unsettled rape and murder case. "Using violence to control violence" is embodied in various black and absurd comedy plots in the story, such as satirizing billboards, sheriff suicides, police angering advertisers, billboard fires, and burning police station bridges. However, these violent bridge sections were eventually dispelled by interspersed warm plots, such as the three death notes of the sheriff, a glass of orange juice in the hospital, the shelter behind the police station, the reposting of billboards and the final journey, etc. It all stems from the kindness of human nature.
The cruel and violent status quo can definitely find a correspondence if it is placed in the current dynasty. At this time, the most advanced and most American core of the film appears, that is, the "sense of bridging the split." Under the absurd division of black, the text maintains the unity of the basic warm colors. Although it complains of the divided, cruel, and violent social status quo, it can bridge the division of reality in the subtle social sentiment. The most obvious is the two. There is no sense of disobedience at all. This is the real American drama. This is also the most advanced and calculated part of the script. It makes the film rise from a pure black absurd drama to a more social level. This is the book. The film may win the core of the college's favor.
This is the high-level text of Oscar Style, from now on bid farewell to the golden lesson plan of elementary school students' composition.
