Chengguang is a success in terms of characterization. Shaking footage and repeated scenes highlight an 18-year-old girl full of ill-will. She longs to "live a normal life" but has to live in a mobile workshop with her drunk mother. From the beginning of the film, she is constantly trying to achieve her desire. But what the audience saw was that she fought with the boss because she was late on the bus and was not renewed after the probationary period; her friend fell into the water because of her own mistakes, and then she hardly wanted to rescue her; she betrayed her almost only one in order to get a job. friends, and so on. She was eager to achieve her goal of "having a formal job" by unscrupulous means, but after she achieved it, she saw her mother fall drunk again in front of someone else's house, and then all her thoughts were lost. It's a tragedy, even if its protagonist isn't likable.
Half a century ago, in 1957, Italian director Federico Fellini filmed "Nights of Cabiria". Kabylia, who is also a woman, works in the most filthy profession, suffers from deceit and discrimination, but still shows indomitable optimism about life. I saw this movie about five or six years ago. To this day, Kabylia's last smile at the end of the film is still imprinted in my mind as a moving inspiration. The word "dignity" is mentioned in a large number of comments related to "Rosetta" in the market, and it seems that all the girls' efforts are to find dignity. To me, "dignity" is a thing that exists or doesn't exist. For a noble person, no matter what situation he or she lives in, dignity exists, just like Kabylia; on the contrary, for Rosetta, dignity is something she can't get yet, Because she doesn't deserve dignity. Even if she ends up getting a job in the film, she gets it in a way that will make her permanently scorned by all who know the truth. The pain of life cannot be used as an excuse for a person to be unscrupulous, play tricks, and do evil. In this regard, Rosetta may deserve sympathy, but not respect.

    "Many of our films include the concept of fit/belonging. Society doesn't have a place for Rosetta, she never knows where she belongs. So when we're directing we try to find a place for her. We always have the camera behind her. In some 'wrong place', the character isn't clear enough to the audience, and if you feel like you're losing that character, you're more interested.  … We don't want to talk about someone who's ignorant about tomorrow The story, shooting Rosetta, the camera is always behind her, and if we think she's trying to turn left and she's turning right, the camera has to quickly adjust to keep up, kind of like a camera in a battlefield. You're shooting someone, But you can't control him, it's a documentary style. Even in the dialogue, the camera has to show that we are not familiar with them." ... For a long time, the Darney brothers have always written the script together, directed the behind-the-scenes editing, and attended the scene. The celebration was interviewed by the media.

    The breakthrough work of the Darnet brothers won the 1999 Cannes Palme d'Or and the film queen. 1. Such a cruel and hopeless low-level reality, endless repetition of life: running across the road, over the fence, changing shoes in the tube hole in the grass, fishing with a homemade bait bottle, and fighting again and again with all-out efforts. 2. The Darnet brothers perfectly interpret the true meaning of "show, don't tell": shaking hand-held follow-up shots, the scene is mainly close-up and close-up, restricted perspective, making full use of the natural sound narrative of the space outside the painting, zero soundtrack (There is only a period of narrative dance music as the only joyful moment), without any explanation or explanation of the protagonist's inner activities-the style and content fit perfectly. 3. Sorrowful moments of abdominal pain and the slight warmth brought by the hair dryer. 4. Rosetta fought all the way, just wanting a job and living the "ordinary life", which has also become the motif that runs through the works of the Darnet brothers (from [一诺千金] to [two days and one night]). 5. The egg-eating passage is very realistic, and the long shot of more than 5 minutes of laboriously carrying the gas tank (and the sound of motorcycles around it) is the finishing touch. (9.0/10)
