This is the second time that I have written about the after-view of Psychedelic Park. The first time was after watching the film for two hours, but I forgot to save it and failed to publish it. Although I am not interested in repeating my own What I thought and thought was very disgusting, but I still felt that I had to leave something for this film, so, after half a month, I recalled the pictures, sounds, and plot in the film again, and felt the different fans of this film. phantom feeling.
I have always felt that the boy with curly blond hair in the film looks like a little Harry Potter without glasses, calm and lovely. The tones of the film are constantly alternating between warm and cold, sometimes bright and sometimes wet and dark, the lens is light and transparent, occasionally out of focus, frequent noise and swaying, really like a confused youth. The long shot is undoubtedly the biggest selling point of the film, and the addition of Du Kefeng is really surprising. GUS's historical production style and his exquisite shots can be regarded as a perfect match. There are a few particularly memorable shots for me: the skateboarders in the psychedelic park, one by one, sped up from the slide, various poses paused in mid-air and then fell, the shot was elongated, slowly and gracefully. Also in the final part of the film, in the long concrete pipe, the slideway is damp and dark, but there is a dazzling bright light ahead. The skateboard teenagers slid forward along the pipe in an up and down cycle. The elongated and slow shots make people feel as if they are in a bottomless black hole, but the light at the mouth of the hole makes people less desperate. This kind of handling shows the protagonist's conflicting heart to the fullest, which really makes me sigh.
The most memorable scene for most people is the shot of the boy taking a bath. The tones are interlaced, the focal length alternates, and it blends perfectly with the scene. Even the droplets of water are clearly visible. Aesthetics pervade the entire vision, and the production is really well done.
My favorite shot is the one where the teenager walks through a forest. Those who do not know whether it is leaves or flowers fell one after another, continuous and colorful, and the falling speed was very slow, and then the back of the young man gradually drifted away, the sky and the earth were a line, beautiful like a pair of rich color oil paintings.
What is more worth mentioning is the soundtrack of this film. GUS, like Wong Kar-wai, mostly used ready-made works for the soundtrack of the film, and then it was improved and combined with the film. What’s different this time is that the style of the soundtrack this time is different. Very diverse and complete, you can even close your eyes and listen to the film. The psychedelic electronics, elegant and high classical, smooth ballads, and intense rock and roll combine the incompatibility, confusion and contradiction, loneliness and paleness, decadence and depravity in the film to a shocking degree of perfection. The classic reproduction of Nino Rota's La Gradisca e Il Principe is even more surprising. There are also many classic soundtracks reproduced in this film. These penetrating music are the most important psychedelic factors in the psychedelic park.
GUS's stories always have no specific theme, and sometimes he often does not know what he wants to express, but in his calm and light narrative, he can always find a lot of resonance and feel a lot of personal familiarity. He uses fragmented stories to express it. The ignorant and barren youth, the blond boy sitting on the bench in the desert at the beginning, wrote Paranoid Park with a pen, began to state and recall the source of the story in the zooming and shaking lens, and clarified in the repeated plot pictures and babble. The truth of the story. Finally, in the blazing fire, flashbacks, interludes, and repeated application of picture enhancement make the film look more blurred and broken, Gus. Fan Sang's understatement and this seemingly calm young man, like this simple story, can be so impressive even if it is plain and simple.
The boy lay flat on the road, looking up at the cloudy sky, the dazzling blue searchlight, the sound of the rolling wheels of the skateboard, the unforgettable scene in front of the train track, the brother who kept talking all the time, the girlfriend with heavy eye makeup, did not know he what are you remembering. Burning this secret, his calm and serene face still showed an indescribable pallor and arrogance. As if the unbearable youth once had.
