What did you say? A dark fantasy mapping of brutal reality? The director saw a piece of news about a little girl living with her long-dead father, and then made it into a movie using her imagination. I don't believe that the human heart can spontaneously imagine such dark imaginations, but reality can.
Screenwriting skills? Meet and push, keep meeting new people and things.
All in all, the photographic tone and performance are excellent.
Love this style, it's fantastic and fun, and it makes you hold your chin and watch.
Good reviews:
Crazy couples. Chocolate heroin addiction. Viking funeral of Queen Gandy. Bald man swimming in grass field with fishnet and goggles. Fantasy and wonderful story, incomparably deep and big wardrobe. Living with mummy does not have to worry about differences of opinion. The big house is in danger of collapsing, and the whole building tilts and dives into the blue ocean underground. Warm and cool colors always appear alternately. ——Chen Tianxin The

So, in this "Alice in Wonderland", reality is imagined as a fairy tale, children imitate the words and deeds of adults, good, evil, beauty and ugliness are a kind of New ways to reorganize.
Kafka said: In the world of metaphors, metaphors are not metaphors. So, in Terry's "Alice in Wonderland," these seemingly absurd fantasies also become a reality. - Oceans, submarines, sharks, and solitary heroes.
Jodelle interprets Rose's precociousness, loneliness, innocence and scheming to the core. Not only does she imitate adults in her dress, but also in her psychology and way of thinking. Through this extremely incongruous combination from the inside out, Terry expresses the absurdity of the adult aesthetic standard grafted on the fairy tale. In the
end, the story almost falls on realism, even close to critical realism. - Lao Huang
I've watched a lot of movies these days, the most popular of which is Tideland, which is based on a novel. A little girl whose parents are typical bad parents, her father is a rock 'n' roll, very dirty metal, long hair, ragged leather jacket and big leather boots, her mother doesn't work and eats chocolate every day at home. This couple injects at home every day. The little girl is very good. She cooks them well every day and delivers them to their hands. The service is very attentive. One day, the mother died violently, and the father ran away with the little girl. I went to a house in a wasteland, there was only one neighbor... Soon my father died violently, but the little girl didn't know it was death, and she was with her father's body every day... I believe the book will be more exciting, it's heartbreaking , a lonely world of a little girl, a colorful bottomless pit. ——When Tian Yuan
came to the countryside, the empty grassland became the paradise in children’s dreams. There is no interference from anyone else here, and the hallucinations can be spread to the fullest. The large swath of withered and yellow grassland is like an endless sea, ebb and flow in the wind. , the railway track in the distance is the coastline, and the incoming train has also become a monster evil shark.
The opening paragraph is always based on Rose's perspective as the main point of view of the film. Most of the shots of his parents are taken from upside down, and some of the deformed faces are more oppressive, highlighting Rose's depression and lack of family affection in real life. Subsequent shots are often tilted, and the irregular composition is more surreal and adds to the horror atmosphere.
——Tao Tao Tao
should post the entire film review of Tao Tao, the typical style of film review (1, director and background introduction 2, plot introduction 3, plot point explanation and analysis 4, technique analysis 5, general review 6, extended divergence) :
When classifying the styles of directors, there are two directors that I always classify under the fantasy style, one is Tim Burton of "Edward Scissorhands", and the other is "Wonderful" Terry Gilliam. Both like to tell children's fairy tales, but their fairy tales are often dark and somber. It's just that Tim Burton's movies are more gloomy and depressing, while Terry Gilliam's movies are more hippie and spoofed.
The most hippie style of Terry Gilliam's films is presented in his "Las Vegas Style". When it comes to his spoofs, it should be related to his other identity, because he is also a member of the famous British comedy group "Monty Python", and Terry's early films such as "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" , "The Thief of Time", "The Seven Parts of Life", etc. are also related to this "Monty Python group". In those films, Terry Gilliam insisted on a nonsensical spoof style. ——Introduction to the director and film background
Terry Gilliam's new work "Rising Tide Shore" continues its existing fantasy style, but compared to its earlier works, this one is more profound and more thoughtful.
In "Rising Tide Shore", Terry is still talking about his fantasy fairy tales. The little girl Rose's family is unfortunate. She has a pair of crazy parents, both of whom are drug addicts, and their life is very corrupt and chaotic. , the mother died of drug addiction, and the father took Rose back to the grandmother's house in the countryside. In this relatively closed rural place, Rose built her dream kingdom.
Like all fantasy-style movies, the little girl fantasizes some real things into a fairy tale scene, a talking squirrel, a rabbit hole leading to another world, a few human-like doll heads, and a neighbor's captain. With the witch, everything is so incredible, and everything is traceable. The surreal scenes stem from the girl's own beautification of the real situation. Anything in reality has become a prop in a fairy tale. --Synopsis
Addicted to dreams, because of dissatisfaction with reality. The real Rose is a very lonely child, life at home is a mess, and fallen parents have no time to care for their children. Rose's only friends are a few dolls, and the dialogue with the dolls also shows Rose's loneliness in reality. When you come to the countryside, the empty grass becomes the paradise in children's dreams. There is no interference from other people here, and you can let the illusion spread to your heart's content. The railroad track is the coastline, and the train coming has also become a monster evil shark. In this dream world, Rose has encountered too many interesting experiences, just like Alice's adventure in fairy tales, which is a little palpitating, but full of fun. At the same time, Rose in the fantasy always thought that her dead father was just sleeping, and the rotten corpse stench was interpreted by her as a father farting. Because, whether in a dream or in reality, her father cannot die. After all, that is her only hope in life, so Rose has been immersed in this dream and enjoying it.
Rose is not the only one who is also immersed in the fairy tale dream. The only pair of neighbors and siblings also live in the fairy tale conceived by Rose. They are not only the characters in Rose's dream, but also help Rose perfect the fairy tale. Moreover, they have always been quietly guarding their fairy tales and have always been reluctant to walk out. His younger brother Dickens, who suffers from epilepsy, fantasizes that he is a captain. He swims in the grass with a diving mask every day. His sister, a crazy guy, also needs fantasy to maintain. She made a mummified corpse of her mother who died because of her. She thought that her mother was just sleeping, but not really dead, and used hallucinations to comfort her soul. Also addicted to fantasy is Rose's father. After each drug use, he would return to his dreams in music to escape the pain of reality. But, he stayed in the fantasy forever.
When Dickens' bomb blew up the "Yokai Shark" train, a large number of injured people brought Rose back to the real world. After the closed space was broken, Rose would return to reality and face all the pain again. Maybe, That woman will adopt her, and the movie will be more tender. ——Plot point solution (emphasis on description) and analysis
The opening paragraph is always based on Rose's perspective as the main point of view of the film. Most of the shots of his parents are taken from upside down, and some of the deformed faces are more oppressive, highlighting Rose's depression and lack of family affection in real life. Subsequent shots are often tilted, and the irregular composition is more surreal and adds to the horror atmosphere.
Bridges deserves to be the uncrowned king of Hollywood. This is his second collaboration with Terry Gilliam after "Fisher King". In terms of performance style, the decadent look is more like his "Murder Green Toe". look. The hippie style continues the feeling in "Casino Style Painting". Although the whole film does not have much drama, it is an extraordinarily interesting character. As the protagonist, the little girl Jodelle Ferland has a lot of personal performances and monologues. As a young actor, it is also rare and wonderful.
——(Post-camera editing, actor performance, director and screenwriter, etc.) Technical analysis
Terry Gilliam, who raised his face, took a warm route. He was no longer spoofing in his dreams, and the brown-yellow tone brought warmth a feeling of. However, at the same time of warmth, Gilliam, who does not tell jokes, suddenly looks like a boring melon. The closed environment, simple characters and large monologues make the movie a bit dull. The description of surreal passages does not rely on too many special effects scenes, but is more displayed through the performance of the actors. The audience can only imagine the surreal scenes through the performances of the actors, making the film a film dressed in realism. The surreal film of the coat and the unremarkable visuals have become the flaws of this fantasy film, so this can only be Terry Gilliam's work.
——General Review (Pros and Cons)
At the end of the movie, Rose, who returned from a dream to reality, said, "I'm hungry." Suddenly remembered, in the dream is not to eat. . .
