Superficial understanding of "Victoria" Stubborn Monkey2017.2.8
"Victoria" is a film that came out around May 2016. For the first time, I watched the movie "Victoria" in one shot. The whole film took more than two hours, without a single cut, in one go. After watching it many times, I gradually realized that it is not that simple. The film tells the story of a girl named Victoria who has just arrived in Berlin. She met a group of local friends and was involved in a bank robbery. The story begins at the bar, where the film spends over a minute at the beginning showing Victoria's indulgent dancing. Afterwards, Victoria took the initiative to strike up a conversation with the bartender when she was buying wine. The film is slowly shaping Victoria as a girl who wants to make new friends in this strange place, and who seeks excitement and adventures in her heart. This is why in the next development of the plot, Victoria is also very happy to accept a group of boys who take the initiative to greet her, which is also enriching such characters. The film still follows the general rules of telling a story, beginning and ending. Personally, I would classify "Victoria" as a commercial film. The film only seeks bold breakthroughs in creative techniques. It's basically a commercial type of story. Movies are constantly trying to tell the audience one "true" story after another. I personally think that there are roughly two kinds of "truth" here. First, the events in the movie did happen in history. Second, let the audience feel that he is real and the story is believable. If subdivided, there is the authenticity of the characters, the authenticity of the scene, and the authenticity of the costumes and props. "Victoria" gave me the greatest feeling is "real", let me, a poor diaosi who has never been to Berlin, really feel that I have come to Berlin in the early morning. Cinema is the art of time and space. During the more than two hours of the film, our off-screen audience followed the protagonists and began to appreciate the stories of young people in Berlin, without interruption. From this point of view, off-screen and on-screen time are equivalent, which ensures temporal authenticity. What struck me even more was the authenticity of the characters. This is of course thanks to the excellent performances of the actors. The most interesting thing is that it is said that before filming, the director started with a story script of only 12 pages. A large number of character dialogues in the film are slowly run-in by the actors during rehearsal. It may be precisely because of this way of creation that the dialogue between the characters is very lifelike. Make the characters more realistic.
