Long Shot Theory and Identity

So shocking. When
Bazin wrote the theory of long shots, he probably didn't think about how a shot would be used in just a few decades. From Russian Ark to Birdman to Victoria V, audience substitution and virtual reality are brought to the extreme, but they are everywhere. The camera also makes us always realize that we are the viewers. The boundary between virtual and reality is broken. What is
also broken is that as the plot deepens, the identification of the protagonist is set in a situation that is almost the height of ancient Greek tragedy
. Yes, this is a volume of a tragic girl. It's accidental, but maybe it's her decades of loneliness and repression behind it, and all these emotions are only revealed at the moment when she plays the piano in the cafe. It's just two minutes to the end. It's not sensational, but it's done for all the actions of the girl. A credible foreshadowing When they ran out of money and went out to the bar to party until the real time was stopped, we were also pulled away from reality by the camera. Together with a few protagonists, the carnival was upgraded. The photography made us happy and moved, and subconsciously hoped that sonne and victoria could be divided Money fell in love, but when this beautiful friendship was just established, the plot took a turn for the worse, the beauty was shattered, the tension and the sense of substitution made people breathless step by step
, do you agree with the law or Victoria? Obviously the lines of law and morality are blurred as well but the camera is neutral neither surreal like Natural Born Killers nor brutal like Bonnie Clyde the camera is neutral and coldly humorous victoria almost emotionally and without hesitation completes the ending All the great principles before but the ending was so chilling victoria took the money and left no one knew who she was everything could be as if it never happened and only the camera and us saw it

    It was not used forcibly, and a mirror completely matched the style of the story itself, very life-like

    I won't say anything about the whole film in one shot, it's really amazing. At first I thought it was a Berlin version of love before xxx, but I didn't expect it to be a crime movie. Scheduling, several anti-climaxes and the heroine's performance are the highlights of the whole film. However, it is also obvious that the script hurts the characters and the lack of character creation. The performance of Berlin at night in the background is also slightly insufficient because of the one shot to the end.

Victoria quotes

  • Victoria: I've been... I've been... I don't know the name, how you say that... I've been... in the conservatory, you know... I was in the conservatory. and I cannot continue in the conservatory because I'm not good enough, or something like that

    Sonne: Because they're stupid, or what?

    Victoria: No, it's okay. I prefer that.

    Sonne: No, really... Because it's amazing. It's like. You know, I...

    Victoria: No, it's not amazing... I don't know. I've been sixteen and a half years practicing playing the piano. every day, like seven hours every day. Seven is the maximum. You cannot play more, because you're gonna hurt your arms. And it's a really hard life, because you have no... you have no life. You have no friends. Well, the friends are like the other guys that are in the conservatory... but they are not your friends really. They're like your enemies. Because they are fighting for your dream too.

    Sonne: But was it your dream... to play?

    Victoria: Not any more.No. Because it's... You are... You... You can became a bad... I don't know. I was just thinking, for my friends, they should fail in their exams... because then I would have, like, more opportunities for me! Our teacher said to us that. just the 90% of us, we are wasting our time. It's really difficult to become a real piano player. And it's better like this. You know, when I was 12, I can remember, I was like an old lady... just playing always the fucking piano.

  • Sonne: What is this shit? What is this shit? Boxer, what is this shit, man?
