1. There are clear clues to string together the story or the director's reasoning. The negative textbook I think is the "Looking at the Great Wall" made by CCTV in the early years. At that time, it was said that it would compete with the Great Wall documentary filmed in Japan. The theme of the whole film is too big, there is no specific foothold, and it is floating.
2. As a director and actor, Moore himself makes people respectful. Just like the questioner in "The Guardian", Moore's questions to many interviewees in "Coron" are very sharp, pointing to the key points, and I feel that many interviewees are going to be mad. It is such an inquisitive spirit that can investigate a question so clearly.
3. The soundtrack and the picture match well. When talking about the deepening of the "social crisis" in the United States, the rhythm of the music keeps getting faster (not so much music, as the heartbeat), and the editing speed of the picture is also accelerating, which makes people really feel the crisis zone. Coming of oppression.
4. The rhythm of the entire documentary is well grasped. This is what almost all American movies and TV series have in common. Unlike many Chinese movies, they usually make people fall asleep and wake up to find that they have not finished the show. Personally, I feel that the rhythm arrangement of documentaries and speeches have the same routine. One is to constantly set the "wake-up point" to bring the audience who has been concentrated for a while and start to be distracted back to your movie or speech; the other is You can suddenly change or switch the rhythm and style of the film at certain points in time, injecting freshness (for example, when interviewing a TV film producer, Moore asked why he didn’t make some "commercial criminals" programs, this time I can feel it The atmosphere is relatively depressing, and the interviewee has a lot of resistance. Moore deliberately added a humorous scene of arresting commercial criminals at this time when editing.
5. Combination of rationality and sensibility. It is necessary to use sensational means and shots to infect the audience and achieve the effect of jerking people to tears or agitate the people, but also to use the power of rational analysis and logic to persuade the audience and convince the audience to believe this argument.
Finally, I think one of the most classic scenes in this film is the scene in which Moore put the photo of the 6-year-old girl in the house of the president of the Rifle Association, and then reluctantly left.
