The intention of wanting to unbridly expand the psychology and emotions of the characters has been unimpeded. When I watched Oliver Sisberg's "The Destruction of an Empire", I became curious about his directing method. His shots Always seems to be capturing every useful footnote to serve his protagonist as humanely and objectively as possible. In "Five Minutes in Heaven," this motive becomes more apparent, and the film's originality becomes more flamboyant.
As a political violent crime film, this film does not visually seek the excitement and bloodiness often found in similar films. Instead, it creates more "imaginary violence" from the large jump in the inner activities of the characters. This suffocating unease Accompanying the film always.
A press release, the film returns to Northern Ireland in '75. The picture swayed amid gunfire, incendiary bombs, thick smoke and escaping figures. It was not a fictional scene, it was a real historical reproduction. Returning to reality from the terrifying memory, 33 years later, the garden street that was once shrouded in dense gray has transformed into a modern highway that symbolizes civilization and harmony.
Qiao was sitting in the special car sent by the TV station and was rushing to the recording site of the show. This was a special meeting. Qiao was going to confront the enemy on the live TV show. His mind wandered in chaos and contradictions along the way. His life was 33 It was ruined years ago by a seventeen-year-old boy named Leete. Joe witnessed the whole process of Litt shooting and killing his brother. It was like five minutes in the underworld for him, and five minutes in heaven where everything was subverted and liberated. After that, his father died of grief, his brother committed suicide, and his mother also died. Qiao remained alone in the world, bearing the scolding and hatred that his mother would never take back from him. And this unusual trip, the destination that he is about to reach is the dead corner that he can never put down in memory and tortured him for half his life. Immediately, at the show, Joe will wash away his humiliating life, give justice to his family, and fulfill himself with a free future.
Sitting in another car, Lit calmly told the driver and the audience in front of the screen that he joined the local gang at the age of fifteen, and joined the Protestant anti-Catholic extremist terrorist organization UVF (formally established in In 1966, a terrorist organization that carried out violence and mutilation against Catholic civilians.), in order to prove his worth in the organization, he planned this murder. After killing Joe's brother, Leeteuk was sentenced to life and served 12 years in prison. After he was released from prison, he made speeches everywhere, sold his guilt, and lived a materially prosperous life. However, the key to Leeteuk's redemption lies in this. Spiritually, he is indeed struggling to survive. Leeteuk, who is far away from happiness and peace, is actually living like a mouse in the ground.
After the two of them arrived at the TV station to record the scene, the highlight of the film was about to begin. First of all, I want to describe such an ironic gossip show - "Life Victims", interviewed guests include "a man who fell in love with a donkey, conjoined twins whose testicles could not be separated, and a fat woman stuck in a chair. ..." Now it was the turn of the most wronged victim - Joe. Who is Sisberg mocking? media? In fact, it is us spectators who use tradition and morality to shackle others. All harmony and beauty can be "made" according to the wishes of the vast majority of people. In the movie, the TV station who is a big matchmaker and the lovely and understanding female drama manager who acts as the middleman are the eyes and hearts of the viewers. It started vigorously, and fell silently, and all the foreign objects that contributed to the flames became a joke. Such a setup shows Sisberg's vision. Whether I misinterpreted it or made it out of nothing, I love the jokes I feel. Love, hatred and hatred can only rely on the parties to face the reality and freely choose to dissolve completely or congeal forever. What is the position of the applause and fists of the bystanders? Actually nothing. It's gratifying that this film got rid of the misunderstandings. Joe and Little both left the TV station, and the show was put aside. They decided to formally and bravely settle their grievances alone.
Littor sent a note to Joe, and the two agreed to settle at Joe's old house, where the accident happened. From the beginning of the film, Joe has been carrying a dagger with which he breathes life into hatred he might accidentally forget, and he decides to kill Litt himself. The result was twists and turns. After a duel, after dying together once, the two were reborn. Sisberg's technique of controlling rhythm and atmosphere can be seen in many places throughout the play. It is not contrived, but instead falls into layers and strengthens the effect of inner conflict.
At the same time, those little voices that press on the heart in the film have always been unforgettable to me. In the ticking of the pendulum, in the rapid recovery and expansion of the thorax after the noise is eliminated, when Lite faces the camera alone to defend, repent, and appeal, the sound waves hit the wall and make an empty sound, all of which create the helplessness of being chased. feel.
In the flashback, the mother's hysterical shouting in Joe's mind was quite violent. In a child's memory, it was no less than the fear and psychological shadow felt when witnessing the murder. I guess that if Joe's life is smooth sailing, he may become a famous football star, as well as Leeteuk, and his reputation is far and wide, but in fact, it is not only his life that is ruined, but also his life, as a half-life The workers of the egg carton factory may only be like this for the rest of their lives. Of course, there is also a more severe political and religious issue. Even if we did not encounter these, the turbulent social environment at that time would still disrupt everyone's life, and none of them were child's play.
At the end of the film, Joe still forgives Little, this is film and art. Live for the people around you, of course. But can those broken hearts really heal? I hope! Pray for them.
The story about Northern Ireland, no matter what light and shadow medium it is placed in, will inevitably touch cruel and serious political, ethnic and religious topics. There are endless glory and humiliation, as well as unquenchable enthusiasm and hope. Saddened by the resentment and hatred in the song, I am grateful for the spirit and soul of the ancestor Celtic, the vast green kingdom, and the great and lovely nation.
I love this nation very much, love their enthusiasm, bravery, kindness, their endless artistic life, and their mysterious and distant legends.
I know that "Braveheart" comes from the Scottish Highlands, and the bagpipes swirling in the air, no matter how happy, can't confuse Irish and Scots, just like two brothers' names can't be confused.
I also had ignorant fantasies, fantasizing that in "The Wind Blows the Rice Waves", the decisive vote was another ending, so that the blood and rain may exist in the novel.
The night I watched Hunger, I sat on the balcony at 2:00 a.m., looking at the dim lights outside the window, but I couldn't shake my bony torso.
Every time I listen to Cranberry's "zombie (zombie)" a frame of pictures are stuffed into the cells of the body, and sadness gushes with the song.
Writing about this place, to me, is like dissecting Van Gogh's abstract paintings because I don't know how to draw, because it is completely clear, sometimes the meaning of words is to highlight the unattainable under the pale background, and it is impossible to achieve equality and objectivity. I have never experienced the exchange of sight, no matter how sincere I am, I can't touch the real skin.
