Today is September 11, and a terrorist attack that shocked the world occurred today in 2001. The Americans suffered severe trauma in this terrorist attack. Many movies have made their own interpretations of the attack and provided some opportunities for emotional venting. For example, "Special Loud, Very Close", which provides psychological counseling to the families of the deceased on 9/11, such as "Spider-Man" (2002 version, which sets up a hero against terrorism. This year, Spider-Man pulls the plane is also based on the original script of the 02 version. pay tribute). However, not many people dared to directly let the audience face this terrorist attack, even the green grass "Flight 93". And "Clover's Archives" is undoubtedly a brave and sleek movie. The director of "The Clover Files", Matt Rivers, is a new generation of Hollywood sons. The dark and heavy "Dawn of the Apes" and "Battle of the Apes" all have good realistic metaphors, as do the new Batman movies (guessing from his interviews). The metaphor of reality is undoubtedly the embodiment of Matt's authorship. Therefore, when we turn back to discuss his debut work "The Archives of Clover", it is another flavor to analyze it with his authorship. The most talked about "Clover Archives" is not its text, but its expressive methods: DV photography. The sense of presence and discomfort brought about by DV photography is the most mentioned in the comments. Many people even think that this movie would be boring without this method of expression, including Mr. Bomi from the film critic "Villain Film Critic" I like. The unconventional way of expression attracted people's attention, so that everyone ignored the advantages of the film's text. First of all, the story of this film is that it took place in the city of the 9/11 terrorist attack, New York. This is not a coincidence, it is intentional by the director. At the beginning of the film 20 minutes, the first climax occurred, and the head of the Statue of Liberty flew onto the street. For New Yorkers, this is a symbol that is no longer obvious, the symbol of freedom and the collapse of the city's spirit. Unknown forces attacked New York with explosions, collapsed floors, smoke, and chaotic crowds... In the first 20 minutes, except for the head of the Statue of Liberty flying into the street, which did not happen in New York, the rest were all 9/11 incidents. An unforgettable sight in the heart. The director's choice of DV photography is not only to improve the sense of presence, but also to leave the impression of the masses during the replay of the 9/11 incident. Because when the 9/11 incident occurred, the world paid great attention, and the media continued to broadcast live on the spot. The 9/11 incident is undoubtedly a real and painful experience for New Yorkers, but for people in other places, the impression is more of a video sent back from the scene. The media scrambled to report, leaving behind a large number of real and chaotic videos, and these videos are the intuitive impressions of the masses outside New York. The ambition of the director is not only to return New Yorkers to the nightmare they experienced that night, but to return audiences around the world except New York to the day of the terrorist attack. When everyone watched this movie, it seemed that we were sitting in front of the TV and watching New York on September 11, 2001. Matt’s ambition is actually to bring the global audience back to that day, September 11, 2001. When watching this movie, we will think of the confusion and fear that day... and even a bit curious. Matt's ambition to replay real events, and the intrigue of the orangutans in "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" also hints at the instinctive nature of humans' political struggles. However, if Matt only cares about the impression of the replay event, then he is just a director with a strong sense of curiosity, such as Qiu Litao who filmed "Ebola Virus." What Matt truly excels is his comment after the impression of the replay event. Attentive audiences will find that Matt's movies basically take place at night, and the ending is always sunrise. This also seems to imply Matt's attitude towards the incident: Although the process is dark, the ending will always be bright, even if the wound cannot be healed. Just like "Dawn of the Apes", Caesar finally met the gray side of man (ape), and his confidence in his own race was basically shattered, but he still returned to the group to continue to lead them. Is this ending bright? Not bright, Caesar is too miserable. Is this ending dark? If it is not dark, Caesar still returns to the population when his confidence is broken, because he believes that he can still change his own population. Going back to "Clover's Archives", it tells the story of the male protagonist who overcomes all difficulties to save his lover in a disaster. Even if the city falls into an unprecedented disaster, and people's thoughts are lost, there is still hope and love in everyone's heart. This is his comfort for those affected by 9/11 and his interpretation of their mentality. The ending of "Clover's Archives" is the same as "Don't Get Near", "Dawn of the Apes" and "Battle of the Apes". It is dark and tragic, but at least two people who love each other are together and face each other. The tragedy that comes. Matt's movies are always so tragic, but they are not depressing. The reproducibility of Matt's film is actually more for the purpose of guiding the audience's emotions more effectively. Text based on reality, expression higher than reality, is the capital of Matt Rivers based in Hollywood and even the world's movies. Finally, back to the "Clover Archives", why do I say that this movie is brave and sleek? There are really not many movies that face 9/11 directly, because if you don't grasp it, they will be criticized by thousands of people. For example, "The World Trade Building" was irritated by film critics. "Clover Archives" dares to reproduce the impression of 9/11 at such a high level, and is really bold. And the sleek thing is that Matt Rivers put a monster movie jacket on it, so everyone saw it was not a 911 movie, but a fictional monster movie. Therefore, Matt Chicken Thief avoided all criticism of patients with sequelae of 9/11. Finally, back to the "Clover Archives", why do I say that this movie is brave and sleek?
