Begin to understand the reason why the Coen brothers have been pushed to the altar step by step in the history of modern film. As a fan of PTA, it has been regrettable for a long time that "No Country for Old Men" upset "There Will Be Blood" in 2008 and won the Oscar for best picture that year. The interesting thing is that After that, in 2012, the British "Sight and Sound" magazine voted every ten years among the top ten films in film history. Hitchcock's "Vertigo" became the top of the dark horse airborne list. Before that, it was Fellini's "Eight and a half". Even before Hitchcock's own film history, he was more focused on his "North by Northwest", "Psycho", "Rear Window", "The Birds", etc. So it is not difficult for us to find that it is not a coincidence that the two films have one thing in common The characteristics are challenging the audience's viewing habits. The anti-traditional genre film narrative story. In the first half of the story, we follow the perspective of A in the movie. The amount of information known to the audience = character A. Then in the middle of the movie, we start to follow character B. The amount of information known by the viewing angle and the audience = B Under such a great conflict, the director still allowed the film to maintain its valuable integrity. The above information makes us find that contemporary film art research is more inclined to study the typology of films, and this "Absent" "The Man" challenges the traditional noir serious film, adding comedy and absurd elements that seem to contradict Roger Deakins' serious photography style but always maintains unity. The characters' lines in the atmosphere immediately made the event more absurd and funny. Everything is not in our familiar movie viewing habits. The Coen brothers' repeated attempts at genre films may also indirectly affect the aesthetic tendencies of contemporary movies.
