If you are interested, you can draw and see the floor plan of the house and reproduce the movement of the camera.
2. The first shot after the end of the title sequence. The concert, the long shot, the camera position is still a little low, and the field of view is very narrow, the perspective is very strange, and the audience is not like this on the stage. So whose perspective is this? The old couple was nothing but the crowd. The use of voice, the noise of the audience before the seat, the broadcast before the opening, the scattered coughing, the applause, and the beginning of the note all need rhythm. The scene transitions, explaining the relationship between the student and the old couple, the music continues, the picture continues to transition, the low position on the bus, the perspective of a stranger, in fact, the old couple is still in the crowd, the music continues, until the old couple goes home Open the door until there is a conversation.
Use music very sparingly.
3. When the old couple went home, the camera did not move, but they ran through the three spaces. Through the dialogue, we could tell that the old couple was very wary of outsiders. The old lady's worry about someone breaking and burglarizing. It's ironic compared to the plot where the door was opened by firefighters at the beginning. Then there were conversations with building managers, the question of hiring a carer, and the attitude of not answering calls from people they didn't know, hinting at the elderly couple's increasingly isolated life.
4. In the breakfast scene, the camera is no longer awkward and returns to normal eye level. Long shot, front and back. Everyone can see the role played by the faucet being turned on and not turned off. It has both a plot role and an emotional role.
From the beginning of the concert, the camera moves sluggishly, and the voiceover seems to always forget to film the person speaking in reverse. There is not a single shot of musicians at concerts. And just stubbornly staring at the audience. This is also the case.
5. A group of empty shots that appeared around 15:04, why add it here? There is obviously a corresponding relationship with the corresponding set of empty oil painting shots at the back. What will happen if you remove it? Of course it can't be removed. Quietly dark interior, and quietly dead painting scenery. Visual language is too beautiful to be added, but of course it does much more than that.
6. The daughter appears and fights back and forth. Most of the time, he talked about himself, and finally asked about his mother's situation. rejected by his father. Note the seat relationship between father and daughter, which remains unchanged until the end.
7. Around 36 minutes and 45 seconds, the old man went home and found the old lady lying on the ground. Attempted suicide. The window was open (again) and it was raining. Continue the previous paragraph that discussed the topic of funerals.
8. When students come to visit, it is another design that the camera refuses to leave the venue. The old man got up and pushed his wife, the camera stared stubbornly at the student, and he even turned around on the sofa very uneasy, nervous and awkward. Explain what? My interpretation is that this camera is a conscious, non-objective observer, what does this mean? (Religious awareness related.)
9. The old gentleman's nightmare. The only time in the film is to walk out of the apartment, and of course you can say that the open faucet corresponds to the leaking water all over the floor. But what does water stand for? What does it mean to walk on the water? Whose hand is the hand that choked the old man's mouth at the end? It didn't matter, but it was undoubtedly the hand of an old man. What does a dead end corridor full of doors mean? Dreams that express the subconscious have been used a lot in movies, but the director is sober, and so is the audience.
10. The old lady's condition deteriorated sharply, and she failed to do so when she was conscious and wanted to kill herself. The first shot after being incapacitated is with her daughter. Huppert's husband, who appears only once, but is described three times. The first description of the daughter, the second description of the mother, the third appearance is a few words, but the role-building has been completed. The daughter finally turned to her father and said, "Et de quoi?" which means that there is nothing to say except that the mother is dying and that the father has nothing to say. The gap between the two generations is sometimes greater than the gap between life and death.
11. The old gentleman's efforts are reflected in the futile efforts and perseverance of the old lady every time her condition deteriorates, even her singing after her aphasia and facial paralysis. The old lady's uncooperative and wanting to die at the last moment of consciousness made him slap her in the face with great annoyance. It is difficult to understand such behavior without someone who has personally cared for a paralyzed patient day and night. There's not much to blame, and in such extreme circumstances, nothing makes sense.
12. The daughter came to visit and said: "Tu peux pas continuer comme ca, papa", the old gentleman threw out two very sharp sentences: "Tu veux prender Mama chez toi?". The dialogue in this piece is always like this, like the blade, the elephant in the china shop, can only smash a room full of things. What if it can't go on like this? Taking a paralyzed mother to her daughter for care? Sent to a nursing home? Of course, there is no result. Everyone has the consciousness of waiting for death, but the process is still unbearable.
13. The old man is shaving, why is he shaving? The living have to trim their beards. The old lady was crying out in pain, why is it pain, the single syllable "Mal, Mal, Mal", pure suffering, even Christ can't bear it at this time, weeping and crying that the Lord has forsaken him. The old gentleman comforted her gently as always, then took the pillow and suffocated her. Unexpected and unexpected. The old gentleman told the last story, which corresponds to the many stories I have to tell you before. It is very gentle and loving. In such love, it is absurd to discuss the meaning of ethics.
14. Buy flowers, write letters, seal rooms, and act as if everything has been thought out a thousand times.
15. Throwing the pigeons is very important. The pigeon appeared twice, the first time it was just waved away. This time, he was very patient and took his time. It was a long shot again, and it was slow and long, and the difficult getting up at the end reminded people that he was already a drooping old man. What does the pigeon stand for? Religious metaphors, like what water represents. Think about it. The old man grabbed the dove and stroked it, but let him go. Whether it’s the Holy Spirit or life itself, it doesn’t belong to you. Grab it, let it go, and let life go away.
16. At the end of the hallucinations, the wife suddenly came back. Dreams, reality, memories, and imaginations all use a unified technique, with a concise style, no clumsy stunts at all, and only cuts are used for transitions. This film is not minimalist at all, but it is too thoughtful to add a little more. European directors are well-trained, and Haneke is really elegant.
17: The mise-en-scene in a small space is difficult. In the end, the daughter came home. Compared with the policeman's position at the beginning, there is a very big difference. why? The daughter ended up sitting not in her usual position, but on her father's sofa. Time is passing.
18. Again, this is not an ethical film, and there is no ideological pollution. It brings out some basic social norm changes and discussions of the ethical situation are very modest. So stop talking about killing people or not killing people, it's not important at all.
People, always think that with civilization (music), art (painting), material (apartment), offspring (daughter) and love (partner) can resist the coming and going of life itself, the result is always failure, must be failure of. Because you don't have life at all, and sometimes even when life takes the initiative to come to you, you turn a blind eye like a blind man (the first time the pigeons were driven away), and stubbornly hold on to some "alive" phantoms. (The old lady deteriorated very quickly after incontinence.) It was not until she got rid of this obsession that she suddenly realized that she had to catch it, and the process of catching it was so long, clumsy and sad. Everyone is like this, living their life like an idiot. And in the end you have to let it go, and love fights death to let go of life.
