It seems that there is such a "Mr. Hulot" in each of Tati's films. Personally, I think this is not just "Mr. Hulot", it is more like Jacques Tati himself, paying attention to the details of life and feeling Every second of life, whether it is happiness or joy, or sadness or pain, is like a person who is addicted to the "game of life" itself, then his movie is to trigger us, we go to find these small in life, not easy to be What people perceive, what is ignored.
If a movie also has "key points", then a person also has a personal "distinctness". The director of this film is to inspire everyone to find it, or to find oneself, and then improve oneself. I watched Wong Kar-wai's "Breakthrough" not long ago, in which I prefer the character played by Zhang Zhen, in a general sense, when people mention him, they will think of him narrating his childhood, "Because there is a problem with his eyes, his ears are more sensitive. Listen to other people's conversations to observe the world." In the film, there are also many Zhang Zhen listening to other people's conversations with his head down, and can even hear what people are saying from far away, and then infer their actions.
"Seeing the world with ears" is naturally the character's proper noun, personal label, his vivid and distinctive side. Like a movie in the ordinary sense, it just tells the ordinary or great life story of the movie characters. It tells the story, not the characteristics. However, the characteristics or proper nouns are easier for people to remember or remember. (Let’s also borrow the character of Takeshi Kaneshiro in Wong Kar-wai’s movie “Chongqing Forest”, who loves to eat canned pineapples, and when everyone sees canned pineapples, they naturally think of Takeshi Kaneshiro.) It seems that this character has become a proper noun itself, of course This is just a relatively obvious feature.
In Tati's "My Uncle", the director seems to divide two types of people into two proper noun signs, "alienation" and "intimacy", and the focus is on the distance between people. In the film, There seems to be a lot of this "sense of boundaries", and such a sense of boundaries creates a particularly great contrasting effect. For example, the house where my uncle lives is small and warm, and the distance between people is very close. If you walk around the corner of the corridor, you can meet neighbors, or say hello to familiar family members. There is order, but the distance between the parents of the little boy is farther away. From all the decorations, the "minimalist style" is modern, technological, and cold (there is even a particularly obvious scene). , the boy's mother will turn on the fountain when she sees outsiders, or neighbors, and even when her husband comes home, she says "it's me, it's me" at the door, and she closes the fountain) The house except Except for the neighbors who had just moved in, hardly anyone came close. The color tone is also basically warm tones in my uncle’s house, and the lights are yellow or red earthy, but my father’s house is all cool blue and metallic stainless steel or green, which is very different. It seems that the original It is a special separation of the family, and all the audience can realize this. The two of them seem to be their own proper nouns. The director not only shapes the proper nouns of the characters, but also enriches their connotations and details. to the extreme.
All the characters in it seem to have their own kind of labels, little boys like to be mischievous, eat sugar buns with the little ones, play pranks on people who walk by a telephone pole, blow a whistle, and one person hits a telephone pole. , (At the end of this article, when teasing others with my father, it reflects a state of fusion), while my uncle is more informal. For example, when he walked into the application office, he did not see his feet on white He was "fired" for having a "homogeneous and characteristic" powder, which showed a relatively complete footprint, until the next job boss called him and he was tickling his feet with a telephone receiver , Because of sleeping, I didn't notice that the red tube was made into a long strip of uneven size, rather than a uniform state. When people laughed, I actually felt more joyful. At this time, I was in a regular and conservative state with my father and mother. A particularly big contrast is formed, and a life like my uncle is closer to life and has more details of life.
The uncle's house is more complicated, like the trivial things in daily life, and it is arranged in a warm and happy atmosphere, while the parents' house is empty and spacious, with a sense of modernity and distance everywhere. Everyone is an independent and cold creature. According to human instinct, boys naturally like to be in contact with their uncles, and like the instinctive reaction of warm and warm things. Uncle One-Way, a relatively everyday and warm person, entering this modern and empty place is like a particularly abrupt existence, and the uncle's performance and family atmosphere, or the kind that the whole drama has Dramatic, it is a kind of stylized effect of the stage, but because of the rich small plots of the movie, this drama has formed a kind of living feeling, which is a perfect Fusion state, find a sense of life in drama, and find rich connotations in proper nouns, like you have it and you don't have it, the beauty of composition and color matching is very extreme, it seems that every shot has a photographic work, The color matching is almost perfect, and it can be said to be a complete visual feast.
At the end of the film, the director seems to be intentionally breaking this delicate barrier. The opening scene puts his hands behind his back and the little boy gently rests on his uncle's hand. At the end, it seems that the little boy does the same as his father. Action, in the middle stage, the telephone pole teased passers-by, the little boy was with his uncle, and at the end, the little boy also successfully interacted with his father, the distance between people seemed to be narrowed, and at the beginning, everyone worked step by step every day. Driving and itinerary, at the end, the father seemed to recognize his son and drove the car away from the original track.
Personally, I feel that the director has put a lot of effort into the characters, from every movement of the characters in the movie to the shaping of their character, language, and behavior, they have both proper nouns and details, which make the characters in his movies seem like a real person. The person is like a person with a beating heart, not a person without a soul in the book or in the portrait. All the characters in his films seem to have their own independent personalities, "movie characters" with agility, creating What comes out is no longer a thing, but a world, a container with another world in the world, which contains a vast universe, thoughtful and alive.
This is probably a worldview presented by the director. Through the tool of film, a way of expressing his own worldview, the director is really a particularly lovely person, because he develops everything in a good direction (it seems that It seems like a fairy tale), this kind of possibility is a person who sees the reality and emptiness of life, but still expects beauty and happiness.
I like this movie very much, when I saw it for the first time and the last second after watching him, he seemed to be my spirit itself in that time period, the part that existed in me called The things of life, every second and even every moment that can be defined by time, form a new me, I like such a "new clothes" very much, just like I like myself.
