Flowing still art. You think you are running away from the most sensitive things in your heart, but go back a lifetime and at that moment you are dead.

Watch "Dike", the story is not long, only 27 minutes. But the depth of the works in the 1960s and the uniqueness of the film form have convinced the entire film history and future generations.

There is no continuous recording of pictures, but photos of black and white film, which are quickly stacked one by one, like dynamic ppt and a lot of black and white film photography. There are also a large number of voiceover language features on the pioneers of that era. Coupled with the vocal narration and music of the story, let everyone know this alternative sci-fi story.

When the picture shows the background, the destroyed Paris scene, the background sound will show the grandeur and poignant beauty of the opera. In a scene where a large number of people gather, there will be many whispers of human voices, which makes people feel that these still pictures are all time, and time is flowing, which seems mysterious. The final ending returned to the original point perfectly, witnessing his own death, with a fatalistic ending. The theme expressed by the director is very grand, a line he likes: "He realized that there is no way to escape the pursuit of time, the moment he was destined to witness when he was a child, the moment that always haunts him, is the moment when his life ends. .” Maybe I will think about this film again in a few years, and I will understand its meaning better.

In fact, black and white static pictures, if used properly, have a subtle beauty that is hesitant to say anything.

    After reading it, I was amazed. Many years ago, I asked Xiaohai a question, "What do people live for?" In the high APM, he still pushed his glasses and said: "People live to be able to go back to the past one day. ."

La Jetée quotes

  • Narrator: [English version] The directors of the experiment tighten their control. They send him back. Time rolls back again. The moment happens once more. This time she is near him. He says something. She doesn't mind, she answers. They have no memories, no plans. Time builds itself painlessly around them. As landmarks they have the very taste of this moment they live and a scribbling on the walls.

  • [last lines]

    Narrator: [English version] He looked for a woman's face at the end of the pier. He ran towards her. And when he recognized the man who had trailed him since the camp, he knew there was no way out of time. And he knew that this haunting moment he had been granted to see as a child, was the moment of his own death.
