Form beauty

The double Light and shadow transition, camera switch, and soundtrack The two most impressive shots are the blue-purple-red lights in the long corridor of the apartment before the dance, and the light and shadow on the ambulance cut left and right on Simon's face. This film is considered to be a film to pick up and watch again, but the second half will still make people cry. Sure enough, the low temperature of the air conditioner will make people more patient. This kind of film really irritates me, it tells the audience that film has its own unique way of expressing emotions, which is more extroverted than words. It can use the environment to express the more inner and higher emotions of the characters based on the performance of the actors. This kind of "ambient" movie may not be a blockbuster, but it is definitely a favorite of some people. The films of Wong Kar-wai, Quentin, etc. and the "Over Spring" of the amazing Pingyao International Film Festival some time ago are often more beautiful and infectious than the actors' performances. force. As for camera switching, this type of emotional expression is often difficult to detect, but it has rich connotations. Lou Ye's control of the camera is able to take into account both narrative and emotional expression. The Taipei Golden Horse Award has also nominated Lou Ye for the soundtrack for many times. On the New Year's Eve, the last night of the earth, which will be criticized by the whole network, some people really laughed when they compared the long shots in the movie with the surveillance shots. It can only be said that what the director cares about and wants to show is not what most audiences care about and expect. The editing of Nolan's "Memento", the imperceptible frame of David Fincher's "Fight Club", such big directors really play the movie?? Of course, I still like Wong Kar-wai's movies the most. They have a unique style and tone, and they disdain the plot and don't please the audience. This kind of formal beauty that I feel and am shocked by is the reason why I like movies at this stage.
