Participated in the Chinese Film Festival in the city of Nimes in southern France. The modern new theater in 10 halls will only show new films from various countries that have been dubbed in French. I finally found an art theater Cinema Le Semaphore (translated as "signal theater") in the city, insisting on playing foreign movies with original subtitles, so I watched this new British soundtrack that just won the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture "1917".
Although I can only understand 40-50% of the lines, the scenes and audiovisual performance are unique and excellent, and I am deeply impressed! Known as the battlefield "road film", it is well-deserved. With the connection and processing of dark parts of the scene or digital technology, the whole film is 119 minutes, giving people the feeling of "one shot to the end", which can be described as originality. The lens does not move for movement, it combines movement and static, with a degree of relaxation; the characters, environment, and expressions in the long-moving lens are all stable and clear. Some details are also uniquely depicted.
The shortcoming of the film is that too much attention has been placed on the innovation of external forms. The two characters and the storyline appear thin and even boring.
A work whose skill is greater than its content will never reach full marks.
