The scene of the movie: First of all, the poster of the movie is a face of Adrien Brody cut off from the forehead. The reason why the neck is left is purely to let the viewer understand the trend of this action, a kind of weak side glance, Adrien Brody's eyebrows are very strong characteristics, which also allows him to better describe the word melancholy.
The whole play uses a lot of facial close-ups of the characters. It is better to say that it is a close-up of the facial features. Such a close-up is difficult to grasp, and it is easy to make people feel uneasy if the distance is too close. For example, Professor DR. The words spoken by the lens, the large aperture, the small depth of field, the subject completely occupy the lens, and the aggressive dialogue expresses that sense of unease vividly.
There are many places where the film is out of focus. At first, I thought it was negligence. Later, I found that this kind of performance is more in line with the theme of the film. rub.
It is also worth mentioning that in the scene where Meredith was selling cakes, there was a fast zoom, which was pulled very fast. This is the same as the photo of the fat girl when she took a photo, but the photo is displayed as a film. , this paragraph shows its rapidity more intuitively. This is a very abrupt expression method. You must know that this kind of shooting method is generally used in places such as spies looking for assassination targets. [One hour, twenty-five minutes and thirteen seconds]
There are also a lot of corridor ends in the film, and the changes of camera position and special effects are also very characteristic. The biggest hobby of psychological films is various corridors, and corridors symbolize a kind of Unknown process, a change of attitude, through this corridor you are the teacher, you are the boss, you can't treat the people at the end of the corridor the same way you treat other people in other places, whether it is the hospital corridor, the classroom corridor is . The camera placement in the corridor for about an hour and 13 minutes is a good illustration of this, first relying only on the natural light outside the door to give Adrien Brody a silhouette and then using the indoor light to change his back.
All Meredith's photos are the sharpest predictions of the film [Unfortunately, the 18-55 in her hand can't handle such a large-distance zoom, forget it, let's not mention it]
The light and color of the movie: The tone of each monologue of Adrien Brody is very interesting. Adrien Brody's home is a very dazzling white tone, and the first time I brought Sami Gayle back to the living room, the floor lamp was turned on, so the pale white of the lighting is more obvious, like this Home gives people a feeling of loneliness, and the monologue uses warm light to hit the face directly from an oblique angle. The monologue in this scene gives people a soft whisper like candlelight. contrast.
The red wall that Adrien Brody and Sami Gayle met for the second time is very obvious, and the dazzling color is impressive. The use of light here is obviously to highlight the red, because it is similar to the frontal astigmatism of the model shooting, said red I have to remember that Krzysztof Kieslowski explained that red is redemption, and there is nothing wrong with such an explanation here.
There is also a place where red appears, which is the background of cat abuse in the gym, [about 34 minutes] 34 minutes and 40 seconds are the most characteristic, the cat abuse boy shrank his shoulders and eyes showing fear, but the background is a terrible red, [I I don't think it's necessary to go to the stadium for cat abuse, and Adrien Brody, a Chinese teacher in a suit, has nothing to go to the gym.] In fact, it is the strong contrast between the little boy's psychology and face.

Detachment quotes

  • Henry Barthes: How are you to imagine anything if the images are always provided for you?

    Henry Barthes: Doublethink. To deliberately believe in lies, while knowing they're false.

    Henry Barthes: Examples of this in everyday life: "Oh, I need to be pretty to be happy. I need surgery to be pretty. I need to be thin, famous, fashionable." Our young men today are being told that women are whores, bitches, things to be screwed, beaten, shit on, and shamed. This is a marketing holocaust. Twenty-four hours a day for the rest of our lives, the powers that be are hard at work dumbing us to death.

    Henry Barthes: So to defend ourselves, and fight against assimilating this dullness into our thought processes, we must learn to read. To stimulate our own imagination, to cultivate our own consciousness, our own belief systems. We all need skills to defend, to preserve our own minds.

  • Henry Barthes: [agitated at assisted living nurse] Let me be very clear here, you stop neglecting his needs, or I will start fucking with yours! I will have you fired! Then it's going to be your family! Your children are gonna be at risk! You got it?
