"Photography makes time eternal." This is one of the many words that Andre Bazin said, and I saw it in "Jia Xiang 2". During the month I stayed in the Shamian Art Museum last winter, I had already played and watched "Jia Xiang 1", perhaps because I was afraid of taking on too much, "Jia Xiang 2" was too late to open the first page. This Wednesday After reading "Legend of the Sea" in class, I went back and looked through it and felt a lot. I don't know much about documentaries. I remember when I was a freshman, the Guangzhou Library opened a new documentary film studio and invited Zhang Yiqing from Hunan to be the opening guest. I ran over by himself and added his works similar to student homework to a piece of seven or eight films and watched them all. To be honest, watching all the works of a director in one day is a very bad thing. Fortunately, after a few hours of screening and chatting, I did get some feelings. For example, in terms of subject matter, "Kindergarten", "British and White", "The World of Zhouzhou", paying attention to social hot issues, paying attention to the emotions of people and animals, paying attention to marginal characters, etc., did give me a great social reflection on the audience. The signs of , and moved this very cheap word. But after seeing some of the following films, I feel that I have returned to the direction of "Danish Symphony" or "Turkish Watchtower", and returned to the level of photography and editing. The records are similar, but when it came to the last "Junior Red Sandalwood", he recruited a large number of literary and artistic workers, and then used many shooting techniques. Compared with his earlier works, the feeling of loneliness is conservative and complicated, and he is still afraid of old age. I was actually quite surprised that Peter Jackson could make such a thing. This "accident" refers to the form of a documentary. If he made a "Polish Blitz" or "The Sicilian Defense Line", it would be in line with my impression of him. But from the standpoint of the creator, whether the creation is a building based on the individual, or a response to the production of the public sphere. For the elaboration of history, Roland Barthes said: "Public history is an inexperienced fiction. What really exists is only the ringing and noisy harmony of countless (measured by personal existence) small histories." Served in the British Army from 1910 to 1919. I think this little history may be the key to the director making this film. The participation of his family in a certain event can often give the family a sense of family participation. I like to talk about my parents and even my grandparents. On this personal pedestal, the director used a large number of wartime documentary images, pictures and post-war interviews to construct countless small histories. This is the element of this film. However, the splicing of each element is still in accordance with the chronological order and interludes. , flashbacks, reversal, lines, and some classic montages, then rendered with sound effects and music. These give me a commercial feel, I don't like the word, well, give me a lighter, more catered audiovisual enjoyment, I prefer that way of saying it. This tendency (more relaxed and more catered for audio-visual enjoyment) has actually done a lot of BBC documentaries. When they film the animal world (don't remember the name, probably the subject matter), they will use animals to shape the story, such as the baby elephant and its father The mother, the growth of the parrot, the monkey family, etc., also have their own stories, and then use a large number of video clips to create a "one-minute rescue" story. The audience responded favorably and the audience was very wide. Well, I'm not saying it's fake, every shot and every element of them is real, it's just a trick of the director, borrowing someone else's mouth to tell his own words, it may be a cola story, or it may be a Heartfelt words. The main focus of the film is still post-war reflection and anti-war. This theme is actually very mainstream. There are many films that express this idea from different viewpoints. I prefer Sam Mendes' "Pot Cover" because he shoots war. It is very boring. It takes courage and great wisdom to make war very boring in this kind of film. Most of the anti-Japanese war movies in China still describe the glorious victory of the war or the tragic war without forgetting the national humiliation. The popularity of each war movie will bring the Chinese people's extreme resentment towards other countries. How should I put it? Recently, there was a film called "1950 They Are Young". It was about resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea. After reading the comments of my friends, I felt that I was still telling stories in the circle. I will go and watch it when I have time.

    Unexpectedly, it is a 3D version of the documentary, the format is very novel. There are a few deep impressions: One is the battle from the perspective of a British soldier, and Zweig’s "Yesterday's World" wrote a battle from the German and Austrian perspective. There is a common psychology that everyone felt at the beginning Fighting is similar to a happy party. They feel that the war will end soon and the motherland will definitely win; one is that most of them are only ten years old and have no way out in the country. On the contrary, they found the meaning of life in the war; the other is the end of the war. Later, when I returned to my hometown, no one cared about your experience in the war, and my heart was full of feelings of loss and humiliation. War is meaningless.

    The documentary made by Peter Jackson to commemorate New Zealand's grandfather's participation in the First World War, a large amount of rich text material, supplemented by photo cartoon illustrations, the refined old film has been transformed from black and white to full color after entering the battlefield, which is extremely stunning and shocking. The interview soundtrack of the whole film and the sound effects of the environmental battlefield are even matched with human voices according to the lips and lips, which recreates the brutal war more immersive. The 3D version emphasizes the three-dimensionality of the image when the soldier looks directly at the camera, and the staring at the young face a hundred years ago is also the meaning of its title, especially those soldiers who are about to die will never grow old in the image. Even more terrifying than the hellish scene was the misunderstanding and disregard suffered by veterans who had happily returned home with German prisoners of war, achieving another layer of anti-war and better results. The only regret is that the color of the embedded simplified Chinese characters is too close to the overall dark gray positive film, and it is very difficult to sit or lean back. #Northern Film Festival2019#Review of the archive.
