It has been a long time ago by others for several months. This film is simply in Japan. It can be regarded as one of the top ten most popular films in Japanese film history, and it can even be included in the annals of Japanese film history.
At present, the content is already available on the Internet. This film is bound to become popular. Although it cannot be said to counterattack my three views, it can still surprise me again and again when I watch it. It gives me this brand-new feeling. .
It is - "The Camera Don't Stop" !
The cost of "Don't Stop the Camera" is frightening. It is only 3 million yen, which is almost 180,000 yuan. It is estimated that some people go to Japan for shopping in the cherry blossom season, which is about the price.
But it is such a movie with a very small cost. In Japan alone, it has counterattacked nearly 200 million yuan at the box office. In such a small country in Japan, such a small cost, such a box office rate of return is enough to see the dark horse of the film. effect.
So far, distributors from all over the world have been trying to introduce them. At various film festivals, "Don't Stop the Camera" has been nominated for an award. In the exhibition, "Don't Stop the Camera" is a second light, reproducing the grand event of "The Thief's Family" some time ago.
So what is the magic of this zombie movie with only 180,000 yuan? !
The answer is to keep surprising you! Continue to create unexpected smiles for you! In the end, I can still be touched by their perseverance!
This reminds me of one of the criteria for watching movies, that is, a good movie can hollow out a certain emotion in you. For example, a good literary film will hollow out your thinking about the meaning of life, and a good action movie will hollow you out. The adrenaline rush of a good thriller will scare you too much, and a good comedy must make you laugh contentedly.
Although this is a more popular judgment of film, it is also enough to prove the functionality of each type of film.
"Don't Stop the Camera" has the function of hollowing out your sense of surprise, excitement and joy.
The genre of zombie films has become very mature today. The popular American TV series is "The Walking Dead", the classic but unfinished film is the "Resident Evil" series, and the major movie productions are "Dawn of the Living Dead", "Zombie World War", " "Train to Busan" and so on.
If the current zombie films are to be interesting to the audience, they must be very creative.
"The Camera Don't Stop" has become a hit, and the creativity of the film lies in the feeling of pointing a deer to a horse.
Let’s talk about the beginning, it will not affect the viewing effect.
The front of the film is basically a traditional zombie film, which tells the story of a group of small-budget film production teams who came to an abandoned factory without even a mobile phone signal to make a very low-cost zombie film with only male and female protagonists.
In the film, because the heroine did not understand what real fear is, the director drew a blood curse on the rooftop and found real zombies, causing the entire crew to become zombies one after another.
In the end, there is only one heroine left in the entire "movie".
The zombie movie in the whole play is one shot to the end. When I was watching it, I was muttering in my heart. Could it be that this movie became a hit because of one shot? !
Now a shot is a piece of cake for film technology, how can it be difficult.
Seeing me here, I wanted to give this film a moderate label, and the result... It's really fragrant!
When the film reaches thirty-seven minutes, the zombie short film of this play-in-play is subtitled! This is very strange, is there still a play within a play? !
-- In-depth spoilers --
Sure enough, there is no one shot to the end, and it returns to the perspective of traditional film language, telling the story of the director's preparation for this zombie film a month ago.
That is to say, the two-thirds of the whole "Don't Stop the Camera" restores the behind-the-scenes of the previous zombie short film, but this behind-the-scenes scene can make people laugh out of their abdominal muscles.
When watching the previous zombie short film, I wondered why some of the scenes were so strange, but I thought in my mind that this might be the feature of this film.
For example, the hero and heroine and the makeup artist are sitting there talking about self-defense. This awkward chat seems to be killing time, but in the later scenes, we only need to hear "touch" from the voice-over! I knew it was the makeup artist who made a big move. At this time, when I was pretending to be forceful, I thought, well, the function of this awkward scene is to explain the voice-over of the self-defense technique behind.
In addition, the self-defense technique seems to be caught by the zombies behind, and there is also a self-defense technique. The placement of this awkward scene is actually very useful.
Just as they said that this place was cursed, there was a loud bang outside the door (explained in the behind-the-scenes clip of the film), which was so fitting!
Who knows, there is another mystery behind the scenes...
Another example is the scene where the voiceover escaped. When watching the short film, I always thought that I was afraid and ran away. Who knows... I burst out laughing when I knew the truth.
And the director yelled at the camera: "Don't stop the camera!"
When I was watching the short film, I was pretending to be forceful and still thinking in my mind, isn't this what the dramatic language says: "Break the fourth wall", and it wasn't too much of a surprise. The "House of Cards" series has been used badly, isn't it? And that's what Shakespeare pioneered thousands of years ago.
Who knows...I was deeply sarcastic.
It also appeared in the "short film". At that time, the heroine hit the camera while escaping, and the lens fell on the grass and remained motionless, with less than half of the effective framing in the picture.
At this time, I was pretending to be forceful and thinking again, this is an important indicator of pseudo-documentary shooting, which is to deliberately let the camera fall to the ground and inadvertently capture important information to increase the sense of reality.
This way of shooting has been used in "The Cloverfield File", and finally the camera fell on the grass, and the close-up of the monster was captured.
Who knows...is I think too much...
Then there is the heroine's long shouting from the rooftop, and I'm thinking again, isn't this a tribute to the close-up of the heroine's fear in the bathroom in "Psycho", Hitchcock once mentioned that the unknown is the most fearful Yes, when the audience can't see the real face of the murderer, they will think about things outside the camera in their minds, resulting in unknown fear.
And the close-up of the heroine's fear, compared to the face pretending to be fearful at the beginning, makes people feel so scary.
Who knows...things aren't as rich as I thought.
In fact, the concept of the short film in "Don't Stop the Camera" really uses these lens languages. It just means that the director turned these classic lens languages into ingenuity of all the burdens behind, thus creating a very surprising laugh.
Especially the more and more nonsensical acting skills of the makeup artist, although there is an explanation later, but if you only watch the short film, it is actually not against harmony. Isn't cult film such an exaggerated way of performing, and Japanese actors sometimes have comic-style performances. Exaggerated acting is also a feature.
What is even more surprising is that among these surprises, there is also a layer of warm father-daughter love.
The director originally did not take this one-shot zombie film, but because the male protagonist in the film is his daughter, Idol, he decided to take it.
Moreover, for the sake of his daughter's uncompromising efforts, the director gradually became uncompromising in the filming of this short film. Even though this short film was a late-night TV show in the middle of the night, the director chose to do his best to make it perfect.
This kind of ingenuity is infected by the daughter to the father, and the father gives back to the daughter. From the mutual misunderstanding between the father and the daughter to the later reconciliation, people can't help but feel sour.
In addition, each character in the film has a corresponding mental journey, and the roles of each character are bound to each other, depend on each other and grow. The seemingly casual shooting ideas are actually carefully designed plots and actions. .
Of course, if you want to perceive some depth and meaning from this film with a strong genre framework, it must not exist. As the director himself said in the interview, he just wants to create interesting things, and the film is just a This kind of entertainment, the audience experience is very important.
According to his inner monologue, the director really made a very interesting "The Camera Don't Stop".
I can't think of any reason not to recommend this work, because the experience of the film is really amazing! !
Finally, let's end with a sentence that everyone often said when the film first became popular: in short, go watch it!
