The atmosphere of Pan Shen is high-pressure, the outline of the fairy tale heroine is too real, the background is sometimes too beautiful, and the tension of the plot is too great, which makes me breathless. And in Scarlet, although it's a horror movie (I think the director didn't take this seriously, he cared about goth rather than horror), the atmosphere was relaxed and didn't make my nerves tense until the end, which is advantage!
Why is it an advantage? Because the atmosphere is tense, people's attention cannot be fully focused on appreciation. It's a discipline, an appreciation that adults recommend to you.
"The secret of all orgasms lies only in the postponement of pleasure," is an inappropriate aphorism;
To appreciate beauty, to appreciate evil, to appreciate whatever is in artistic expression, first of all you can't be nervous. What do you feel when you're nervous? When you're nervous, everything you feel is nervous. Anxiety, anxiety itself is a very powerful psychological territory, and the concept of anxiety can establish a whole set of psychological theories. When the anxiety of the human heart is aroused, all experiences and thoughts are dyed with the smell of anxiety, and the memory is the same. What I remember most about Pan Shen is the horror that left me. Like unpopular sex, the stimulation is almost entirely due to anxiety, that is, tension. Therefore, a good film, a good work of art, should not cause tension or anxiety. This is what the director did in Scarlet, but not enough in Pan. It's like a writer who said that the British are the best gamblers, they know the real meaning of gambling, you go into the house, you come to the table, the dealer is busy and accurate all the time, around the table. Gentlemen and wives fiddled with their chips, a book whispered to the gamblers beside them, the content of the conversation was not only today's polo match was yesterday's dance, but also news and interesting stories in the newspaper. Know it's a gamble. This is an advanced means of entertainment appreciation, which adults must be familiar with and master, "everything is said without words".
The nerves are relaxed, I finished watching Scarlet, what did I see? I saw what the director thought was Gothic, and I also saw refined characters.
The three images of the Dowson siblings and the bride are distinct, their personalities are well externalized, and the tone distribution is very straightforward. The key is the details. "Look at this detail, it's incredible! (A line from "Beauty by Daylight")".
On a large scale that runs through the entire film, the director also shows his skill, that is, his grasp of aesthetic strength. A low-intensity loose at first, with a muted but not bright tone. When I first came to the castle, it was a little darker. The clothes, hairstyle and makeup of the three people also matched the central scene to highlight the contrast between the connotations and the characters. With the further development of the plot, the appearance of Yuqi's sister is almost completely changed. The contrast between black clothes and fair skin is extremely violent, and the slightly thin facial lines, together with the final black hair shawl, completely show depravity and incest. , twisted, bloodthirsty and other sinful internal horrors can be called the temptation of the abyss, and I was actually spied out some sexual desires.
The answer is also good. Family problems, high pressure from parents, poor living environment, red clay, extremely bad feng shui, irresistible psychological hints in Jung's eyes, teens' joint mother-killing, the mysterious disappearance of the father's destination, the death secrets of several ex-wives, elder sister The incestuous sex of the younger brother and the interdependence reinforced by sin, the intrusion of a strange third party, the violent jealousy of the elder sister as a woman, the elusive hope for a new life that the younger brother retains because he has never killed anyone with his own hands, the blood end of.
The director has really improved. The backgrounds of some of Pan Shen's shots are not perfect, and they seem to be a bit nondescript, while the background props in Scarlet Red give me a full sense of fulfillment, rich in details, and no artificial and piled up, I give full marks.
This is a delightful movie to watch in a leisurely manner.
