There are no special effects, no gorgeous background sounds, stars, various elements, and even many people who have been brainwashed by American dramas naturally hint that the next scene should be back-to-back, side-by-side, high-intensity psychology and mouth guns. These elements are not there, like that racing car Story, full of desire, without feeling.
There is not even a basic moral judgment, that is to say, although there are only two focal characters, and even the focal characters do not have too many intersections, they tell us that there are more than two worlds or two level of truth.
As soon as I put it on, I can't write well, but I still think of the good points and list them first.
A general principle, dislocation, the United Kingdom is no better than the characteristics of the United States and France. They are very thick, but there are subtleties in the rough. They always create a dislocation between reality and reality, between reality and ideal, and various dislocations achieve a kind of cold humor. The reason What's amazing is that there are mistakes in and out. When a plot ends, it always conforms to the logic of interpretation from the beginning of the story.
1. Religious and secular intentions, both of them have religious problems, they both believe in running like they believe in religion, but Harrow's belief in religion ultimately proves himself for himself, and the Scot is also a devotee who really rises to a metaphysical level. The root causes of the two people's problems are different, but because of the same religion, the subject of the problem came together, and finally parted ways.
2. The dialogues of the characters' lines are quite subtle. At first, I thought it was very shallow, and it was not a script to read at all, but many details could not be recorded, which was very interesting. It is said that the two old professors of the college used the breeze of being an official to oppress the students. The plot is quite strange, why? At the end of the game, one person smiled and replied: I knew it would be like this. Is it the slasher method? Or satirize old British pedants? In the same persuasion play, the British Olympic Committee, the Prince of Wales, and a bunch of people came forward to make a scene, which is exactly the same as Xiao Yabo, and one was used as a reaction force, and the other was solved directly.
3. Slow motion, no special effects is fake, a lot of slow motion seems to be meaningless, but it is meaningless in reality. Maybe it was because the photography concept was not mature at that time? But the more you look at it, the more interesting it becomes. The heat and the rhythm of the shots show a good sense of rhythm. There are also montages, flashbacks, and imagination. After watching for a long time, it is easy to be brought into a situation of reality and fiction. This is also a major feature of this film. , or say, a fact is also false, it is very interesting to return to the positive
