Prediction: Running with the movie, the best director and the best picture will definitely not play. I hope that the best actor can get one. Almost all the people I met in Cannes expressed more or less disappointment with this movie. A friend from the LA team I met at the hotel felt the same way, except for the first shot, there was no bright spot! I told him that this film might be more suitable for Oscar, after all, it is politically correct, he shook his head frequently and said that the pace was too slow. Because Jeff's Mud, and maybe the name is too similar to Haneke's love-after all, Haneke's Love earned my tears and emotions-so this part is still expected, and the result is still fulfilled The bigger the expectation, the bigger the disappointment. The opening of the first shot is a close-up of the face of the heroine in the night scene, and the background sound is only the cry of crickets. The second shot is a close-up of the male protagonist's face. A slow conversation, a quiet environment, and a quiet breath blowing in. I thought I was in the right line for two hours after 8:30 in the morning. In these two shots, you can hardly see the interaction between the eyes of the two. If you shoot the dialogue between the two in this close-up way, you may think that the two are in a state of distance. Then the camera pulled away, only to find that the two were sitting so close side by side. The meaning of this shot, you will understand the reason for this shooting from the development of the later film. It seems that we film makers (professional film critics may have different perspectives) have the same views. Except for this first shot, we will no longer feel the brilliance behind. It's all the old way, starting at the 20th minute of watching the film, every ten minutes I can guess what I'm going to say in the next ten minutes, how the shots in the back will be used, and when the music should start and fall. . If I were to describe this movie, it might be more like a user manual, no matter from the script or the shots, of course it is a user manual that has been carefully polished and printed on coated paper. Just like all those politically correct Oscar-winning films in Hollywood, "Mutual Aid" or "Purple", etc., start with small things about racism, sweet start, conflict, and then there is a sweet time to conflict again, and then an opportunity lawyers intervene, media intervene, All kinds of attention, I guessed that the last shot must be a panorama, and the whole family has a happy ending. Sure enough.
As for the camera language, as I said above, everything is expected, there should be music where there should be music, when does the panorama happen, then what is the medium shot, what is the medium close-up, when is the front and back, when is it a low camera Bit, like a precision Swiss timepiece, you can hardly find flaws but it's utterly boring. It's not that I don't think a well-technical movie is bad. I have to admit that it's an excellent movie. She didn't miss the opportunity to give some sweet foreshadowing first. The emotional foreshadowing is very good. Watching this movie feels like watching me. Another top craftsman in my heart, David Fincher, you don't have to worry about the works of top craftsmen. They follow the routine of a masterpiece. Even if they are good and wearable, there are few misses that make people boo. This is also the director of loving. The reason for the frequent nominations, it is said that another of his films, Berlin, was also shortlisted. Not everyone can be a Kubrick, who can make precision and lightning at the same time. It's just that I personally like sparks, so even if a movie has flaws for me, I will like it very much as long as it has enough bright spots, but this one is very disappointing to me, and it doesn't. But it must be mentioned that the male protagonist Joel played very well in this film, and he portrayed this character who is introverted and not good at speaking and has his own personality and persistence. I still remember that scene now, when he secretly drove his wife, who was unable to go home after the verdict, to take her home to give birth. The opposite car drove past, and he dodged his eyes and body language that were frightened and hopeful. It turned out that he was Australian, and the white hair always thought he was a Nordic from Sweden. Hope he can get the best male lead.
