I just finished watching Love with a Big Nose. It's really a drama with a weird tone and a very powerful tone. The orientation, positioning, and movements of the actors in the play have absolutely no intention of making the play as real as possible. A bit like a medieval painting, the focus is on making the viewer understand the meaning and the plot, rather than imitating reality with techniques, which makes the whole play full of stage symbolism.
Generally speaking, a drama itself will form a very complete time and space, but the time and space of this drama are disordered. Sometimes both sides of the conversation face the audience, as if to let the audience see their performance more clearly. At the beginning of the show, the small stage kept switching between the two scenes of "the stage in the play" and "the audience pool in the play". At the same time, the real audience pool is also incorporated into the space of the play and becomes a part of the audience pool in the play. For example, the heroine is clearly behind, and the second male is looking for her in the real audience pool. It is not uncommon to perform a play in a play and set the stage to be a stage, but it is rare to see a mix of time and space that confuses the audience. There is also a mirror on the back of the stage, adding to the complexity.
Actions and interactions between actors are also missing. For example, the male lead grabs the female lead's wrist. Is such an action difficult? But they just didn't act. The two stood two meters apart, leaving the audience to speculate on what kind of physical contact happened between them based on their lines. Not to mention the fighting scene, the two people who were talking about using swords, gestured with a microphone, and even the last stab was expressed in poetry, and there was actually no eye contact between the two.
Props are also missing in this drama. The letter is a very important object in the drama, but not even a piece of paper has appeared. The second male said, show me the letter, and the male lead handed over a microphone. . And the microphone is the universal prop in this drama. In fact, everyone has a headset, there is no need to have a handheld or a stand, but there are a lot of them, and they are a metaphor for a lot of things in it.
The whole drama is actually very rehearsal, but the most powerful part is that even after the details of imitating reality are stripped away to such a large extent, even after it is so clearly told that this is a fake drama, I'm still shivering and crying. I think this is a part of what the director wants to explore and experiment with. To what extent can the relatively minor parts of the play be cut out? What is the core of story and drama?
In addition, the plot of the drama is actually not that special and attractive, and I don't even think it is a discussion of spirit and flesh. It seems to me that the show is really just creating a person who is ugly, has a huge nose, is proud, powerful and vulnerable at the same time, an angry pure idealist. Yimei played him alive, I wasn't moved by their love, I was moved by his love. His confession in the dark, his kiss with the second man, his trip to the moon, and the missing rhyme at the end made me unable to control myself. , heartbroken in vain.
Oh, Cyrano.
