how drama is made

I want to start when the theme soundtrack first appeared. Dans la maison's song of the same name is very catchy. I heard it before I watched the movie, and immediately started the single cycle. It can make people feel that the cells of the body are instantly activated without the soundtrack of the movie, so there is no reason to let I don't take this movie seriously anymore.
The soundtrack appeared for the first time in about three minutes at the beginning, and the vision showed that the students all changed into school uniforms and came to the school. . Then the picture is changed to a full-screen arrangement of characters, all the characters are uniformly dressed, and even if there are differences in skin color and expression, none of them stand out. Following the rhythm of the strong beat drums, the picture is fast and close, because the switching speed exceeds the speed of human short-term memory. At the same time, the rhythm of the soundtrack is faster than the heartbeat, and people can't help staring at the screen. The final screen freezes on the two protagonists (with a very short time), and the title of the film is presented.

The story starts at home. When Mr. Gilman was grading the composition at home, he read Claude's essay. At this time, his wife was leaning on the sofa in an elegant posture (the goddess in "The English Patient" began to play the role of the sagging skin. Middle-aged and elderly people, all kinds of years are ruthless.), from the perspective, it can be seen that this couple belongs to the "literary and artistic youth", and their life is relatively high-quality. The camera zooms from panorama to medium shot, as Gilman reads the student work diligently. The home environment depicted in the article is eerily similar to that of the teacher's (they look beautiful, but the reality is the opposite), especially when the words "a kind of The unique aroma from middle-class women”, he looked up at his wife on the sofa, who put down the coffee cup at this time, and became more curious about this article. Here is a hint of what Claude said, "I don't know why I chose him, he is similar to the others", yes, the main part of the film is just one of many middle-class families, and there are thousands of families like this Tens of thousands, as did Gilman's family. At the end of the film the director also gave a clear statement.
As expressed in the scene where Gilman lent Claude the book, Claude complained that the book was thick, and Gilman said that you can read it first if you don't like it and return it. The director knows this well, and in the nearly two-hour film, the first ten minutes of the audience's first feeling are particularly important.
After class the next day, the teacher and the student had their first match against each other. Claude was shy and had a provocative smile, and behind his free and easy back was the teacher's surprised and puzzled eyes. Whoever takes the initiative will be the winner at a glance.
Each of the following narrations is completed alternately by first-person experience and third-person reading, which makes it difficult for the audience to distinguish what happened in reality and what was imagined by the author. This is a drama derived from life. This is the so-called "adaptation from true events". Those seemingly simple and mundane little things add to the theme soundtrack, and tension arises spontaneously, vividly explaining the core of Gilman's teaching Claude's novel "What will happen next?", a successful suspense film will Let the audience think about what will happen next in their minds at all times, and do not leave the audience with the opportunity to analyze and solve it themselves. The emergence and progression of clues guide the audience's thinking to follow the direction dominated by the director.
Twelve minutes later, the house finally appeared, and the shooting from the down angle of the house seemed to be an open stage here. The performance was a puppet show that could not be NG. house, we unknowingly join the ranks of "peeping".

"It is very easy for a writer to make sarcastic characters at a high level, presenting them without any premise, and letting readers judge for themselves is what we have to do." Gilman was very proud when he said this, and he judged Claude from the height of the teacher himself (note that the teacher is standing and the student is sitting on a chair, and Claude is always looking up), when The bell rang, Claude left without saying a word, and Gilman was beaten back to the prototype, back to the "perverse" image who was hooked by his students. Going back to the sentence itself, this film is a neutral film, it gives a lot of information, you can analyze it from different angles, it just presents, not performance.
In the third lesson, Gilman taught Claude that there should be conflict in literature, and there should be conflict on a spiritual level. Immediately after the conflict in the movie came out, will Gilman be a teacher and steal math exam papers for selfish desires? From here, Gilman moved from a creator to a character, and the focus gradually shifted from Claude to Gilman, and he started endless inner struggles.••••••

What is a good ending, as Gilman said, "unexpected, but it can only be this." The end of the story is the beginning of another story, as if the interloper in "The Empty Room" came and left, and the anguish of the middle class remained. The ending of the movie is not cruel, and neither Gilman nor Claude's life is over.
Claude is an excellent writer. He plays with every character with ease and controls the direction of the story. It seems that Gilman is the only reader, but in fact he is just a small character in the story. Claude is the incarnation of the director again. He participates in the story and personally staged a drama from beginning to end. Who is the reader? It's you? it's me? Your emotions and mine are also an integral part of the drama, and we are all puppets in the director's hands.

    A very, very wonderful movie. It explores the essence of literature (fiction) between reality and reality, and many details are particularly skillful (for example, Jenna finally used a book of "Wandering in the Darkness" to knock out Gilman, and the scene at the end is clearly Perek's Life: Instructions for Use). Slowly have to look again.

    The story is actually ordinary, but the story is really wonderful. It not only magnifies the tension of the story infinitely, but also has a sense of reading of chapter-back novels. The mutual intervention of reality and the story is fascinating. The echo of the composition at the beginning and the end is quite useful, just like those fast-flashing ID photos, you can’t help but want to press the pause and point to the one in front of you and say: Why don’t you start with this story?
