The Finnish master Aki Kaurismaki is good at expressing the state of life in the form of stories in a cold and soothing way. Jarmusch is good at drawing away from the story and describing life or artistic conception. The Swedish master Roy Anderson is good at using a cold and humorous way. , scattered plots, stiff and slow performances, fixed shots, and the repression and distress of life and soul are fully expressed.
Anderson's feature-length films "Silence of the Branches", "Singing from the Second Floor", and "You Are Alive" can be called a collection of cold and humorous language. The old man was about to open the bottle of wine to drink a drink, and suddenly fell to the ground and died. His wife didn't know, but he was still happily humming a ditty. How fragile life is, who knows what will happen next moment. One fell to the ground and died after ordering the meal. Everyone still has to share the food. Sad-faced salesman selling toys that bring joy. There is a big traffic jam, it is difficult to move an inch, people hide in the pub and complain, huh, this is not as good as our nationals, high-speed traffic jams, and group dances in the square. The economy was weak and people needed comfort. They took the opportunity to sell the statue of Jesus. Jesus was swinging on the cross. Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to add a zero to the bank account, but he lost money. He threw Jesus on the garbage heap and crushed it with a car. . The old man pushed the cart forward, and the puppy was dragged to the ground and struggled. The barber couldn't hold back his anger and gave the customer a ghost shave. Exquisite language stories, one by one hilarious and thought-provoking.
Stylized to the weird picture is a major feature. There is no main light source, which casts bright sunlight and distinct shadows on the characters and buildings. There is no such thing. Cool and light tones, very simple furniture arrangements, clean and solidified images, the actors' expressions are stiff, it is estimated that their faces are painted with white powder, and they are as pale as a dead person. The music is humorous and has a long aftertaste. Exaggerated, literary heavy taste. Just like the works of Spanish painter Dali, the style is strange and abstract, breaking the traditional thinking of watching movies, and it is intriguing.
In "You Are Alive", the big hand is lying on the bed, complaining about life, worrying about the loss of the pension, and the fat wife squirming on her body, cheering happily. While grief and anger, while applauding, this is life. Is it to seize the moment when you are alive and have fun? Or worry about your future life, it's your choice.
I choose to seize the moment in life.
