The first cow is excellent and very utilitarian. The script is excellent, and the art is more true to Oregon 100 years ago than a small town in a Western. Actors are not famous, and it is not bad to show their acting skills in movies. But the director's personal goods for the sake of art are too utilitarian. It is certain to establish the characters and environment first, but it takes 30 minutes for the two male protagonists to formally establish a relationship and walk into the environment, which is a challenge to the audience. What's even more speechless is that the night scenes do not turn on the lights, all rely on the gain, the large particles of the picture are all mosaic, and the subtle movements of the characters can not be seen clearly, but there are a few night scenes with characters' expressions, it is sour and refreshing, absolutely A visual challenge. In addition to the visual challenge, the hearing is also enough NB. There is no problem with live recording, but the mic has a high directivity. The effect now is that the sound has almost no focus, it's all ambient sound, and some of the ambient sound has a close-up effect. Because the movement is big! I fully understand that the director has a strong confidence in the story when he shoots rough, so he deliberately creates some noise to disrupt the audience's immersive viewing. But the judges in Berlin are not fools, how can they not see the director's careful thinking. Therefore, Golden Bear is only a finalist, and will not really give such a utilitarian movie.
