Not long ago, a small Egyptian police band arrived in Israel, and not many people remember it because it was not that important.
The 8 police officers in blue uniforms have made great strides in their youth, ranging from a young and energetic rookie policeman in his 20s to a vicissitudes old man in his 40s and 50s who fell into emptiness after smoking a cigarette. Anxiety raised his head on the side of the road.
At the beginning of 3 minutes and 44 seconds, I fell into such rambling humor.
The opening of 3 minutes and 44 seconds is enough to prove Eran Kolirin's ability to control the emotional tone.
The little police band couldn't wait for the people to be received by Israel. An 8-member band got into trouble in an unfamiliar place. The leader decided to take a ride to the town to participate in the next day's performance. As a result, the violinist Khalid, who is good at picking up girls with chet baker's "my funny valentine", is obviously as careless as Simon fears. He has a single tone, bought the wrong ticket, went to the wrong place, and ended up in a desolate town, and had to temporarily stay overnight. In a small restaurant that was kindly taken in.
It's not uncommon for an eight-piece band to suddenly invade Israeli restaurant life overnight. But this night made me feel something special. This film is not a passionate attempt to mark someone's life course, so as to make a big change in personality or look away; it is not about to stir up a storm and prepare to blow a bloody storm in this small town. From the opening of more than 3 points, we can guess.
What romance can happen with a one-night stay, with the director's opening tone, it's certainly not so peachy.
It doesn't matter what kind of change can happen with a one-night stay, as the director's opening shows.
"The Band Visits" only has the faint piano sound, the hoarse trumpet sound, the cigarette butts of the past, and the restrained refusal. It just allows two groups of people from different countries, different religions, different races and cultures to share some inner worlds and exchange some secrets. Come quietly, go quietly.
What I want is this kind of blandness.
What I want is a heart wall that is most naturally erected in the face of sudden strangers, and a heart defense that is easiest to remove because it is only a short conversation for a night.
What I want is a subtle transformation from non-existent to non-existent.
"The Band Visit" did it.
In the dialogue, it seems that something has been discovered, loneliness, longing, energy, but it is also like the sound of a violin, which is harsh and abruptly stopped, there is no republican unity, no outlet release, no one's depression and relief. Before strangers pass by, we are more likely to reveal our hearts. Such sensationalism does not necessarily solve anything, it even just talks.
Just like Chet Baker's "my funny valentine", in the hoarse voice, there is an occasional empty sound, leaving only loneliness.
This loneliness is uniform in most of the episodes, only the passage to Papi, the restaurant boy, is a bit off track. A pick-up novice who has an empty head in front of the girl and only hears Hai's voice, "huh...huh". His withdrawnness faded to grey under the influence of the intrusion. This arrangement is a bit skipped from the emotional tone of the whole film, although I also admit that this part of the film is full of humor and enjoyment. But maybe it is possible to inject a fresh blood into this somewhat gray lonely desert, and reconcile the cooling sensation for a long time.
