When I watched it, I felt that it was really easy to use the narration. The background stories that other movies had to worry about were replaced by a few sentences. Compared with literature, a large paragraph of text and a few scenes were presented. So when I watch it, it is half watching the movie and half listening to the book. But books give people free time to think. When they read an interesting sentence, they will ponder for a while, and the fragments that are boring will naturally be swept away. The movie still takes the audience along the timeline, so I skip the big truth if I don’t understand it, and I can only endure the boring parts, it’s better to read a book.
What is lacking more than other films is the emotional experience, which is too objective. The school always talks about POV in class. Zu and Zhan don't make people feel that they are telling someone's story, and they want to empathize with whom. It seems that the three drama actors are calmly performing a sketch to let the audience see what love is like. The screen time is not differentiated, and the camera usage is not differentiated. It seems that they are trying very hard to make each character very individual and thoughtful, but they feel very symbolic. All the little details of Katherine are carefully designed to make her the queen that everyone loves, but she is such an important role that it is unclear what her character goals are. I think the really great female characters not only have a lot of knowledge and ideas, but also have their own fanatical goals, instead of wasting all their talents on attracting and playing with the opposite sex, and then knitting wool and raising children at home. Catherine's character can't stand up, and the other two men's longing for her is ignorant, so none of these three people can really make people empathize, lacking the emotion of swinging with the role, and also lacking the look and feel of the film medium Advantage.
Although the New Wave is characterized by its refusal to engage in perceptual thinking, this concept is very enlightening, but it has not become the mainstream and needs to be constantly explored and applied more thoroughly. Alfonso Cuaron borrowed the form of narration in "The Same with Your Mother", but he used the narration to a new value, not simply explaining what happened in the story and explaining the overly complicated background, but to supplement the picture. Information that the characters don’t know, and events that happened in the past or in the future, give new meaning to the current picture, so I don’t feel like repeating it when I watch it.
The eclectic techniques of some films are quite good. Freeze frames, rotations, hand-held and flipped shots that are suddenly inserted in a bunch of fixed shots may also be from the standpoint of breaking the sense of substitution, but the rules of the grammar of a film are maintained. It often limits a lot of creativity, and it is these movies that open up people's minds, and they should learn to study under the premise of clear intentions.
