Sometimes I wonder how a director's great work affects people's life. Every time I take a breather in life, all the movie pictures from Qi's flash into my mind, and I can't take off [Blind Chance], [Ten Commandments], [Double-sided Winonika], [Blue Love Picking], [White Love], [Red Love] and other categories of movies, if it is not after the passing of Qi Shi, I have consciously restrained myself , maybe the people around me will hate Kieslowski and his works because of my love and talk about it. How disrespectful and blasphemous to my god.
I don't know what to say about Qi's film? I don't know what to say...my abilities are limited! ! Really limited. After watching [Murder Movie] in 1991, I deeply felt how helpless and insignificant a director was in dealing with violent images, and his tender and compassionate mind behind the camera. From the moment I shed tears in the cinema, I was a believer of Qi's. In the dark again and again, I use Qi’s works on the screen to wash my mind, spy on blind spots, and find my own religious experience; here, I will quote a passage of Qi’s to illustrate my feelings: “Art Signs of quality and style, when reading, seeing, or listening, with a sudden strong and clear feeling that someone articulates experiences or thoughts that I have had, although those experiences and thoughts are the same, But the author was able to use better words, imaginary arrangements, and sound combinations than I could have imagined, that is, it gave me a feeling of beauty and joy in an instant." Skye' one book) ... great remarks! !
I think there should be a lot of people in Taiwan who have the same adoration for Qi’s Cult as I do. To discuss the era of Qi’s popularity in Taiwan, it can be clearly marked that the 1989 Chislawski was screened at the Golden Horse International Film Festival in Taiwan [10] Commandment], until he passed away on March 13, 1996 (a really ominous day), the time for Taiwanese fans to contact him is really limited. Compared with his creative career of more than 30 years, this short six or seven years should be regarded as the peak of his creation, especially the red, white, and blue three-color films of sealed works, which are placed in a film author's work. The transcripts are full of splendid and refined works. His status as a film master is absolutely unquestionable, but if he ignores his early and mid-term documentaries and only touches well-known and prestigious works, there is no doubt It is a lot less fun... In short, as long as the movie with the name "Kieslowski Krzysztof" is hung, it is definitely a masterpiece worth watching.
Chislowski is a film master known as "Hitchcock made Dostoevsky". Hitchcock refers to Chi's superb skill and style in using film language, Doss Toyevsky refers to the content of Qi's films, exploring the metaphysical connotations of human nature, morality, society, ethics, philosophy, etc., with a calm and introverted approach, and establishes the inner texture of people-oriented. His narrative style is always light, but Like a clear stream, it is the touch that irrigates the dry soul; in Qi's films, if under the peeping of a long lens, he has a compatible observation of the occurrence of all people, things and things, and has the charm of realism, then he is in another place. On the one hand, creativity in photography, camera movement, scene scheduling, editing, and sound processing demonstrates the power of expressionism—this is the charm of the intertwining of realism and expression. See the beauty that is not worn away by the passage of time and space.
Among the three-color films, [Red Love] is the most [Ten Commandments] color work; in addition to the well-connected screenwriter Pishevy and the music Prizren, [Red Love]'s photography Sauber Chinski is also the only staff member who has guided two of the Ten Commandments (the third and ninth), in the content of [Red Love], starting from eavesdropping, the complex between betrayal and revenge, moral choices, Whether the conscience is correct or not, the sign of the mysterious and mysterious, and the mysterious elements that have been intertwined between "accidental hazard" and "fate" since the Ten Commandments. It's hard to describe Qi's films in one word. As the finale of Qi's film, [Red Love] is definitely a work of awe.
From the opening scene of the film, a shot of dialing a key, a quick shot of a series of tangled telephone lines, in the various language dialogues of overlapping audio tracks, through the submarine cable, to the answering record with a flashing red signal light On the plane... Through an unanswered phone call, Mr. Qi pointed out that even though we have advanced to the age of telecommunications, the estrangement in communication between people, even if we cross the strait, still cannot reach the hearts of people who have no intention of communicating... heroine Fan Lentina (Eileen Jacob), received a phone call from her boyfriend, constantly suspicious and suspicious of Fan Lentina's whereabouts. Even though Fan had already expressed his feelings of missing him, the man on the other end of the phone still confirmed Fan's whereabouts again and again. Qi has an attitude of not believing in scientific products. In [Love Movie (now translated into "The Long and Short of Love" in Taiwan)], the peeping boy is a prank call to the heroine who is having a good relationship with her lover Yan. , revealing the private space and the disguise of civilized morality; in [White Love], the male protagonist living in the subway station, when there is only a copper plate left by his side, dials the phone to the French wife who drove him out, hoping to get a little mercy or Aid, but in the microphone, he heard the moan of his wife making love with someone else. And August, who lives on the same street in [Red], also made a phone call, but when he heard the operator's voice, he hung up in disappointment.
The heroine, Valentina, is a student and model at the University of Geneva. She has a boyfriend who is very suspicious and controlling No, after she finished the show, she felt lonely in the car, and when she started the car to leave, the other man who stopped and walked off was the hero of [White Love]. The locomotive is the boy who witnessed the car accident. When he started to leave, it was Augustus who crossed the street. He picked up the page that fell on the ground and unfolded and began to read, but he did not know that the problem of this page was the influence The key to his later life - this is the first time Fan and O have been so close. Augustus was a law student. At the end of the film, the two never met. Even though they were so close to each other, they never met. That's why, when watching [Red Love], it's hard not to be fascinated by Qi Shi. Impressed by the meticulous design, the beauty will be described later.
I remember the first time I watched [Red Love], it only took ten minutes to see this place, and I was already subdued by Qi’s corruption into a magical film language. Inanimate objects such as red canvas sails, red jeeps, red jacket covers, and the red curtain in the background when taking pictures are all very interesting under the observation of his lens. As the theme of the film, they are not overwhelming It steals the charm of the story; the characters pass by each other, hiding the fate of "accidental" and "coincidence", and Prizlena uses the Bolero dance as the main theme of the soundtrack of the film. The variation here, echoing the theme, also has a sad face on its own.
At this time, Valentina accidentally bumped into a sheepdog named Rita, and then broke into the world of the owner of the sheepdog, a lonely old judge who lived alone. This old judge, after retiring, the way to communicate with the outside world is to wiretap the phone calls of his neighbors. For him, infidelity and betrayal are inherently evil in human nature. The content of the phone call confirmed his point. In Qi's films, there are many seemingly meaningless clips, which are often related to each other and echo each other. Rita met the old judge. After learning in the newspaper that his brother's drug use was corrected, he had a closer relationship with the old judge. close interaction. When Fan entered the old judge's house for the second time, there was a split mirror image suggesting that the heroine was facing an upcoming trial. From here, [Red Love Deep] began to penetrate into a gray area of law, morality, and civilization.
When Valentina learned of the old judge's wiretapping, she immediately decided to go to the neighbor's house to report the judge's wiretapping. The old judge even pointed out the residence of the family. After arriving, she hesitated. The door was opened by a gentle housewife. The man of the house was talking to his male lover in the room, and beyond what Valentina could imagine, the daughter of the house was eavesdropping. Fan chose not to talk about his father's phone call and left sadly. The old judge sees all these things... In his eyes, Valentina is a girl who is innocent, innocent, kind, with a sense of justice, and abiding by society, morality and norms, and she will not make big demands Rita's medical bills, when faced with unreasonable expenses, will come forward and ask him to stop eavesdropping, or cover his ears when he hears the eavesdropping lover's conversation. The old judge said to her: "I can choose to eavesdrop or give up, you can choose to say or not to say, but sooner or later the master will reveal everything, or his wife will find out the truth by herself. The most tragic thing is that his My daughter will know one day, what can we do?"
The dichotomy of right and wrong, right and wrong, and black and white is everything the old judge has learned in his career. He may want to believe that there are so-called "greys" in the world. , but he couldn't do it, he understood the complexity of the world far beyond what Faluntina understood. In Qi's films, life is a drama, a melodrama combining elements of selfishness, betrayal, lies and love. There is a very poetic picture in this scene, that is, there is a 'bright light' that will come in. Under the lens of Soberczynski, Van Lentina is like an angel full of light. In the old judge's house. For the old judge, Valentina may be able to free him from his original disappointment in human nature and transcend his negative past experiences.
"Humanity shouldn't be so bad!"
On the other hand, Augustus, a law student living on the same street, was getting closer to Van Lentina more and more frequently. When he sent his girlfriend home, Fan Zheng returned to the old judge's house in frustration. Augustus drove his jeep past the intersection when he saw the canvas ad shot by Valentina, which greatly occupied the view of the entire wall. Passed by the record store, he even bought the CD she wanted to buy... There is an allusion here, I am really sorry for not showing off, and that is the "Do Not Take Another Man's Wife (There is an intentional one) that Fan auditioned." refers to the design)", that is, in [Blue Love Picks], Van Den Budenmayer wrote a mourning song in memory of the musician Patrice. This Van Den Budenmayer is a virtual composer. In many of Qi's films, many characters Can sing the songs he wrote, buy his records, play his tunes, etc. Even the soundtrack will mark some tracks as Van Den Budemayer's work, in fact he is the incarnation of the composer Prizrener , Although there is no such character, but he is really like a character, connecting all the films of Qi's.
On the night of Valentina's departure, the old judge wrote a letter to report his wiretapping, and his surrender made Augustus' girlfriend meet someone else in the courthouse, and Augustus lost his love. As the story progresses, it can be found that the judge's distrust of people originates from emotional incidents when he was young. The senior sister who was two years older than him, blond, delicate, and rich, was finally caught and raped by him. He followed them to England and suffered humiliation until she passed away unexpectedly; because of the betrayal of his love and the ugliness of human nature that the judge saw in his career, the judge no longer believed that there would be innocence in this world. with kindness. And these plots are gradually overlapping with Augustus's life... It is this kind of "accidental" and "coincidence" that makes people deeply fascinated by Qi's films. I saw the subtle correspondence between the characters in the movie and the human world, but he is more like an alchemist. In these bits and pieces from real life, he tells the fate of the mysterious and mysterious, and even the "reincarnation", on the movie screen. "the art of. People who watch three-color movies will find a rickety old lady struggling to put the glass bottle into the trash can. This character is like a test core sent by God to test human beings. In [Blue], It was Julie who saw her, but she was just on the sidelines, immersed in her own world, and couldn't see the existence of others; in [White], it was the hero Carlo who saw her, and he who lost everything looked more than himself The even more helpless old lady even raised a schadenfreude smile; only Valentina, who was [red], was willing to run over to help the old lady.
In the empty theater where Valentina left before the fashion show, the old judge finally spoke out about his unbearable past. The god of fate once brought the man he hated to his eyes. According to the legal judgment, he must He was convicted, but he could not be sure whether it was out of public law or selfishness. In that sentence, he returned to the young and vulnerable law student he was, so he left his job as a judge and locked himself in a dark room , listening to other people's secrets, until Valentina showed up. Valentina brought bright sunshine to his life, and he also made Valentina face the gray area in real life. With the dog Rita, he deviates from his usual track and walks into each other's world, which also opens up another different landscape in his life.
If the old judge and Valentina were like two parallel lines that did not intersect, they knew each other because of Rita; then between the old judge and Augustus, the next one was Valentina. When Augustus acted like the old judge who chased his girlfriend to England and saw him get on the boat with his dog, I finally breathed a sigh of relief while watching the movie. The echoes between the old judge and Augustus were everywhere. It can be seen, especially in the attitude towards dogs. After the old judge did not trust human beings to have love, he gave up his dog; Augustus also wanted to give up his dog after being betrayed by his girlfriend, and later he took the dog that he was going to release on the boat, which means He is still willing to believe in love, and there is still trust and hope in human nature in his heart. Coincidentally, he was placed next to the heroine.
The subtitle of [Red Love] is "fraternity". On a stormy night, the strong wind outside the window blew the cup on the pool table, and the fire in the old judge's house raised a touch of warmth. A certain puppy born by Rita , is struggling to climb out of the dog cage, and the old judge who picked it up is satisfied with the calm face, this moment is probably the warmest and open-minded side of Qi's! ! At the end of the movie, the steamship that Fan and Augustus took to England was wrecked by a storm. Of the 1,400 people, only seven survived. The people rescued included all the protagonists of the tricolor movie. In the realm of impermanence of life", Qi is not showing the miracles of the survivors, but taking responsibility for the characters he has created. When the motion picture of the movie stopped in the TV news broadcast, this echoed the advertisements shot by Van Lentina before. The present and the past of people are so close... Breaking the linear structure of time, this picture alone is enough to prove Qi's master status.
When watching the movie "Red Love", I always had the illusion that the old judge was Qi's own. When he looked at the embarrassed face of Fan being rescued ashore, that expression of knowing everything and crying with joy, maybe Qi's movie is in the Some propositions are pessimistic, but at this moment, he has given his character a redemption. He does not deny that there is a despicable side of human nature, but he would rather believe that the human world in which we exist is still full of love, Believe in the light of the world.
We live in an era that may be the best in material history, but it may also be the most difficult era. Everything in our life seems to be out of control and out of order, and there is no one who can distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil. , even, has begun to not know how to live. Perhaps only returning to the simplest and most basic principles can guide the life of modern people.
Fortunately, I live in a time when I can see the work of Kieslowski's films! !
