A triumph of film spirit

Michel Gondry is a madman in the music video, his visual experience is sometimes difficult to describe in words, his wisdom, his flash of inspiration, it is a talent for play, it is a flash of childlike innocence, I can't express this kind of flash. Glowing wisdom says no.
Movies are a form of mass entertainment, or more generally a mass cultural act, but the movies in our minds are finished by a small group of people and shown to a large group of people, but this film tells us , the film may be the kind of self-produced and self-sold creative behavior, this kind of behavior of the whole people is a precious film spirit.
This time the story is more like a commercial film than the previous two films, and there are many jokes. Maybe many people think this is just a crude B-level film, but it is not. Michel Gondry has not abused the popular computer special effects technology. , and the special effects in many movies are completed through those seemingly rough "pre-production". Now people have formed their own viewing habits when watching movies, such as when to switch to special effects and when to use plot points. , the audience knows better than the director himself, but it is precisely because of this habit that a phenomenon has formed at some point. It is not the director who sets the audience's thinking stereotypes, but the audience themselves. , like the Americans in the film, their minds are very open (at least the audience shown in the film), they accept this remake behavior, but if the same thing happens to us, you can hold it with a smile 20 yuan to line up to watch the so-called movie made by two lunatics? Watching those mature and complete commercial blockbusters doesn't mean your taste is high, it just means that you are an audience with accurate positioning in popular culture, and audiences should still have their own minds.
Let’s talk about the core concept of the film, remaking classic movies, or remaking classic movies, this behavior has become the core of the protagonist’s enrichment and recognition in the film, just as the old black man in the film said, in any American Everyone can make money. Yes, Americans do have the kind of temperament to treat things and not people. As long as you have the ability and an idea, the society will definitely give you the opportunity to be recognized by the public. If this movie touched you, it would be nothing more than It is the fighting spirit of the protagonist, or it is the idea that makes money and develops, this marketing concept is indeed beyond my imagination, and then the story is like a stone thrown into a calm water, spreading out countless ripples , I think it must be a mixed film, but Michel Gondry's film has always been mixed, because he has always insisted on his own unique style and did not make insurance movies like other Hollywood commercial directors. It is not so much a victory for Michel Gondry as a victory for a marketing act, but a victory for the spirit of the film!

    It's a bit interesting to imitate the shooting angle difference, and the projection glass is the highlight at the end.
