First of all, let's talk about "shape", "shape" is the structure of the film. Its main line is the story of a horse and three people, which can be said to be a history of struggle. This story strikes me as twists and turns.
Charles had a smooth career in his career, but he lost his son in middle age and his family was shattered. This was the first ups and downs; if someone grew up with a silver spoon, then Reid can be said to have grown up on adrift and finally in boxing. The sinking on the field is the second ups and downs; Tom is an excellent horse trainer, but he has been buried all the time, just like Yu Boya who lost Zhong Ziqi. Maxima often has but Bole does not often have it. This is the third ups and downs; "Biscuits" "Although he has an excellent bloodline, he is short in stature, lazy by nature, and abandoned by others. This is the fourth ups and downs. When these four ups and downs gathered together, they became turbulent waves on the sea, bursting with shocking force, and the cheers on and off the racetrack explained all this.
However, the story did not end there. After success, he spared no effort to portray failure. After overcoming failure, he used external tests to fuel the flames. So far, the second half of the film is a climax. After Reid and Ma were injured, The film uses a lot of writing to calmly describe their lives, just like the eye of a tornado is always calm, and around the eye of the wind, we, as the audience, are all sad and weeping, lamenting the impermanence and helplessness of fate.
If the film only tells such a story, then such ups and downs are not first-class in front of Hitchcock. For its structure, the finishing touch is the film's juxtaposition of reality and reality. The historical photos, interspersed in the real shots, are so natural, leaving no trace of modification. When reality was gloomy, those black and white photos brought us the memory of that era. Maybe the era was depressed, but the memory was full. Such photos make us feel real; such realism makes the story of cookies more relevant.
Let's talk about "color", color is the most direct impression to us. In "Hero", we remember the last golden yellow; in "Schindler's List", we remember the last red rose ; In "The Matrix", the green is given a unique temperament; in "Blue Sea and Blue Sky", the dream has become an eternal blue. In the film "The Age of Pentium", we can easily find that the first half of the film is black and white, and it focuses on high-key. In such a color, we feel depression. This high-profile depression was born in a depressed era and a life of twists and turns. Depression is more likely to involve the audience in the film. Where was the warbler yesterday?"
It wasn't until Ocean Biscuits appeared, that it lay lazily on the grass, which made people's eyes brighten. Such "brightness" is a turning point in the color of the film. As a result, the second half of the color starts to lighten. Especially after the victory in the horse race, the petals that Rhett shed made people feel happy.
And the days when Ocean Biscuits and Rhett were together, the colors were completely bright. Although, this kind of companionship is a sad story. The endless green grass, the smooth and thick runway, and the white fence that has just been painted are a kind of indescribable. nice. Since ancient times, when people see beautiful things, they are always so fleeting, and they will feel sad in their hearts, and use beauty itself to make up for sadness. They can't help but say to Rhett and Biscuits, one day, in which corner of the world we are lost, Whether we are on this shore or the other shore, we will meet again. This is fate. The color makes the story achieve the realm of "the petals and tears fall in the wind, even if there is sadness".
"Fragrance" is a factor that mobilizes our senses other than visual senses. Therefore, I prefer to use factors other than visual senses to describe the "fragrance" of "Pentium Age".
Its fragrance comes from its music, the rich and atmospheric music and the noisy live sound, this is the horse racing of that era, all kinds of small musical instruments and fluent gossip commentary, this is the journalism of that era. The whole music sets its grand tone, the extension of the music is to give people the feeling: history, extending under the feet.
Its fragrance also comes from its lines. "I was crippled for the rest of my life. I got better. He made me better. Hell, you made me better." When Rhett shouted this sentence, I burst into tears, he didn't want to suffer without horse racing Painful declaration. Including Charles's numerous declarations, we all feel refreshed in the depression.
Its "fragrance" comes from its details, from how much Reid eats, we can judge his complex psychological activities, hoping that he will create glory by riding the ocean biscuits, on the one hand, he is worried that he is too big and restrains his food intake . In addition, there are many details reflecting the times.
Finally, let's take a look at the "taste" of "Pentium Age", that is, the feeling it gives to the audience. As we all know, this is an inspirational film, which faces difficulties and disabilities, and the sportsmanship that dares to challenge affects the audience. However, I think that if a movie just describes sportsmanship, it is not enough, we can taste deeper content from it. The first is the zeitgeist, optimism, which is the main thread of the American spirit. Hollywood has always been an American dream place. Therefore, from the perspective of cultural background, it is the embodiment of the spirit of American native culture. Secondly, we know that all three believe in "nothing is impossible" before they can get out of this career with a bang. But this kind of belief, raised to a philosophical level, is that there are no miracles in the world. When people are closest to miracles, it is not when God shows them miracles, but when people realize that there are no miracles in the world, they still maintain their belief in the world. When persistent. Therefore, when Reid stepped on the ocean biscuit again, it was an oath of miracles.
