As we all know, the contradictions between the former Soviet Union and the Western world were irreconcilable and extremely hostile. But it is such a film, which has surpassed the shackles of ideology, and has still achieved very outstanding achievements in the world. It is an absolute masterpiece of film and television.
The story is placed against the background of the entire war, making love full of ups and downs and sacrifices. In addition to the attractive storyline of the film, the photography techniques are simply brilliant, and I really want to make foul language, which is too TM awesome.
Judging from the shooting method, it definitely inherits the montage theories of masters such as Eisenstein and innovates it. Poetry films were a particularly famous film genre in the Soviet Union, and once gave birth to such dazzling film masters as Tarkovsky. The close-up and "angle" shots in "The Wild Goose" are very beautiful. The empty birch forest expresses the love between the two of them, which is a bit special and atmospheric. At this moment, there is only us, only us who are in love. When Veronica and Boris were shown in the room, the performance of the two was very natural. The couple who made a little trouble, used close-up and deep-focus photography to express the emotions of the two people. The beautiful light and shadow made people sigh. . After that, the photo of Veronica and Boris's brother in the room made people's hair stand up and I was too surprised. The sound of wind and thunder, the rhythm of music, the flying curtains, the broken glass, and the beautiful light and shadow effects, the flickering camera transitions make the whole scene look so explosive. Sometimes the close-up shots freeze Veronica's white and charming face, and sometimes the slightly dazed younger brother of Boris, who is intertwined with light and shadow. The white gauze dances wildly, the light and shadow alternate, the strong music rhythm and thunder, it is too difficult to forget this scene in the future.
Later, in the fantasy shot on the eve of Boris's sacrifice, first there is the rotating birch forest, this shot is too classic. I don’t know if the directors of our country have borrowed similar expressions, and then superimposed the close-up of Veronica’s face, which is very poetic, making people instantly feel the pain of losing everything and want to chase after death beyond time, fantasy and everything. Happy married life of loved ones. Afterwards, the shot of Veronica running in her wedding dress and the soft-focus shot of Veronica close-up, coupled with the tulle floating, the whole composition is very beautiful, and the series of shots of Veronica are quite beautiful. When the revolving shot of Boris' birch forest and the shot that suddenly fell down, the emotional power that had just been accumulated in an instant was released, and all good things would come to an end. Mikhail Karatozov's ability to control the camera is quite strong, and his understanding of sports footage and montage is quite powerful, and the director is deep inside. Mikhail is a supporter of emotional lenses. In his own works, how to use the lens, music rhythm, and light and shadow effects to express the emotions of the characters, he is superb. After watching it, it is unforgettable and unforgettable.
There is also an even more amazing and amazing scene. Veronica ran out sadly. She felt that describing the effect of the photography in words is really not as good as experiencing the surprise at that time. When shooting, Veronica was deliberately integrated with the guardrail and railings. Along with Veronica's wild run, the light, shadow and flickering effects displayed by the railings are really unforgettable. Moreover, it is still low-angle photography, the speed is fast, and the beauty of the lens is indescribable. Then there will be a close-up of Veronica in an instant, and the rhythm will show. The scene of the train whistling and Veronica rescuing the little Boris is quite tense and very explosive. I love this shot so much, how confident it is to be able to shoot such a shot, the action shot is so beautiful, so poetic, it's amazing.
The rhythm of the whole film is not similar to the expression of love movies, the rhythm is obviously faster, but in the final picture, the camera freezes on the sky of the geese flying south, and everything is very natural and quiet. Time remains.
I love this movie, congrats.
