The eighth screening day of the 19th Faroe Island Film Festival will bring you "M is the Murderer". Below, please see the fast and powerful gangsters and police evaluations of the frontline in the program results!
Fruit trees:
Fast and powerful. The audience can be firmly grasped throughout the process.
Pincent:
There are too many brilliant lens designs, even if it's just an elevation camera, a shadow shooting lens, a gangster meeting in a smoky environment, a large symbol in the window when a murderer appears... all the details are impressive. And those sound designs! When to mute and when to make a sound, a brainwashing whistle and a blind man who can't see and only listen, seem to be able to annotate the wonderful sound design of the film. A pair of eyeballs that seem to be bursting out, created by society, also stared directly at the deformed society in Europe at this time.
Morning:
Fritz Lang’s first sound film, he said that the sound was performed as the protagonist. The line play of the court trial was very meaningful. Not only that, every discussion became the protagonist, the first round table motion, and the filming method later. Dolan learnt it completely in "Lawrence on Both Sides", but he abused it and seemed a little boring. Pietro's performance was quite wonderful. He actually did a horror performance that should be more calm and awe-inspiring. A perverted child killer, he used his big child-like eyes in black and white images to make people feel uncomfortable. It now appears that the only fly in the ointment is that the street scene looks distorted, but it is only due to conditions.
A bucket of cats:
The narrative and composition of the first German post-expressionist film Fritz Lang's first audio film show unparalleled tension. The style highlights the excellent use of acting skills and even surpasses many current works. Many thoughts on the complexity of human nature.
Matsuno empty pine:
I like the two most. One is the cross-editing seminar between the gang and the police. The struggle between each other is easily established, but the result of this struggle is not reflected by the direct competition between the two parties, but the second highlight of the film, the illegal personnel. (The gang) try the criminals, and the criminals in turn question the gang, so the police trial process is no longer necessary, the ultimate responsibility is still left to the victims, it is really a great irony
Refraction into the network:
The process of searching and hunting is intertwined, which is very exciting. When investigating the case, the police violated people’s freedom and privacy on the grounds of security. Murders provoke the anger of the underworld when they violate interests. Black and white are the representatives of power and interests. The movie compares the scenes of meetings between the two parties is very interesting. The final point was lynching and human rights, which brought the movie to a new level.
Her Majesty:
In Fritz Lang's transition from expressionism to film noir, the immaturity of film concepts and aesthetic systems led to the birth of this freak film. The sense of cult and weirdness that the audience feels actually comes from the director's immaturity in technical control and the imperfect script writing, while the non-director really has a complete noir aesthetic system. Bresson said: Sound film invented silence. In the early days of the rise of sound films, directors used silence and noise extensively. As in this movie, we can feel the director's abuse of silence, which greatly reduces the sense of horror. The last courtroom defense drama may have been instructive in that era, but now it seems that the two issues of "whether the law can impose the death penalty for those who cannot be held responsible for their actions" and "whether the people have the right to judge the wicked" have long been clearly answered. , There is no need to discuss more (from a humanitarian point of view, these two issues do not actually need to be discussed for too long). Among them, the two sections of black and white meet at the same time and the characters are talking, but the audience cannot hear that both sections were copied by Diao Yinan in "The Meeting at Southern Station", and the big concept of M alone against the black and white is probably also embezzled by Diao Yinan to make " The main frame of the story of the South.
No one at midnight:
The whole process of chasing the murderer has many grooves, but the shots are really beautiful from end to end. The prelude to the opening of the case is from a group of children playing the murder as a nursery rhyme, then the report of the case presented on the bulletin of the ball and the shadow of the murderer on the newspaper after the appearance of the murderer, all the links in the murder chain were accomplished in one go. It is all portrayed that the perpetrator’s fearlessness and the slaughtered lamb-like child world without crisis consciousness constitutes a strong binary opposition; and in the private court at the end, the real trial is not the criminal, but the degree of trust has fallen. The public power at the bottom of the valley, when the unarmed masses collectively raise their hands, who are the victims who are truly confused and lost?
Cangshan ancient well air to the moon:
The plots with tension are all without a soundtrack. A quiet atmosphere is used to create tension and whistles are used to reflect the inner fluctuations of the murderer. The murderer wanted to fail the attack and stood in front of the store. The back view was the swinging arrow and the rotating disc in the store, which was a very interesting metaphor. Some editing techniques are used well, such as parallel clips where the police and the gang discuss how to catch the murderer, and the action matching clips when the gang leader and the police leader talk. In the end, the gang caught the murderer and was tried by the gang, perhaps reflecting the public's distrust of the police at that time. This trial scene also discussed how to choose between procedural justice and result justice. In addition, this film can be regarded as an earlier film showing psychological crimes.
