Korean poetry is not good-looking, like a person hitting a wall, but from another angle, it is like a boat against the current, not the boat carrying people, but the people dragging the boat forward.
After reading the long comments of the cattle people, I decided to just talk about my personal experience.
The image of "Poetry" is always clear and bright, with small still scenes interspersed with the open environment. Although there are many details, they do not mean to play with the audience at all. Everyone can think that they have understood the whole movie.
Because of the plainness of the plot and the obvious control of the director, coupled with Yin Jingji's deep acting skills that have been tempered by the years, some people say that this movie is controlled too much and loses the purity it should have.
I do not understand.
The purpose of the film is not to reflect the purity of technique or concept. The so-called electro-optical phantom is to let people experience a well-choreographed active drama with their eyes and ears in a limited time. Because of the complexity of the production and release process, there is no uncompromising film, and no film that fully reproduces real life. Even pure documentaries are full of interventions and fictions, which are the same as history books.
But movies are comparable. Vertically, Li Cangdong's works still maintain a very high quality and enjoyment after he has experienced the life process of writers, great directors, and political figures. After his comeback, he knows more about which skills can be used decisively and more persistently than before. Use skilled actors.
The film "Poem" has a simple clue that it is not easy to shoot for a long time, but it was easily resolved by Li Cangdong with a trick of "leaving verses in all the most unpoetic places", and the two-hour length was broken up by the sense of rhythm. Listening to a poem recitation, no matter how beautiful and furious, is painful for more than an hour, and it is difficult for less than two hours to end the flowing life in the video. Although the combination of the two has a propositional composition here suspicion, but it did eliminate the negative effects of each other, and finally satisfied bystanders.
The ending of Li Cangdong's films has always reflected the level of his career as a professional novelist, and this is still the case. The live girl appeared with the voice, but the viewers can ignore the existence of the screen and explore things beyond the image. There is only running water, no corpses, the implication is obvious, and every moviegoer is sadly satisfied.
A film with the same title and the same structure, is there any other mainland director who can complete it so accurately and completely? In my opinion, their infatuation is far from over. They forgot to show off their skills in an invisible period of poverty. Some people burned gold and silver, and some pretended to be extremely hard.
Now has passed the season when I talk about Korean movies, but the various types of Korean movies I watched in the golden age of the past few years really amazed me. The boundless imagination and skillful skills, beautiful and confident performances, Completely shattered the bad impression I had from Korean dramas.
South Korea is a country accustomed to self-destructing images, and has never given people a chance to rediscover it. But when it comes to Korean films and first-line Korean filmmakers, although they are still in a difficult period, I think their attitude towards films and the quality of finished films are still stronger than those of their counterparts in mainland China. I can say that I like Park Chan-wook, Bong Joon-ho, Kim Ki-duk, and Lee Eun-joo, but as far as mainland directors and actors are concerned, I can only cautiously say which one is my favorite, because as long as someone pays for it, there is a real possibility that one will come next. Stupefying idiot. For them, the Great Wall is for smashing, and word of mouth is for smashing.
