In form, this film showed me the abundant creativity of director Lars von Trier, the experimental nature of the natural anti-bone, and the method of returning to the essence of the image, and in the content, I saw a kind of soul that loves movies, And art (movie) and a tribute to life. I felt very powerful after reading it, but because the story itself was dark, I was a little down. This kind of contradiction is in people's life, but after reading the strength of the heroine Shama, which has been integrated into this work, a little light can be shown in the darkness. Can continue to dance. Even the most mediocre imagination (light) is enough to resist the bitterness of reality (shadow). Movies are the same for me. Then, for the eight songs and dances, I divided my feelings into eight sections. 1. Prelude / Attempt: The original picture is experimental and unique, with the strange picture, accompanied by slow and interlude-like music, this is the director's attempt. Then I saw the heroine rehearsing on the stage, which was Jasper's attempt. Then watch the director's documentary-like footage, recording the work and life of the Czech migrant mother Shama, which is heavy and realistic. In the video, I saw a parody of "Workers Off Work", as well as Shama's surprise at the light in the dark when watching a movie with her colleague Kathy. From this, we can see that this is a return and tribute to the video. These shots Just like watching it in life, you can discover more as the story progresses. 2 The melody of the machine: To explore the essence, it is only after the invention of the machine that there is the act of projection. It is only when there is the pressure of reality that people advance the fantasy. Shama invents (now) melody and wants to invite Kathy to dance. This song and dance performance is Shama's trance fantasy that we can see the audience. The film itself is an imaginary visual art. The audience sees the picture suddenly bright and people suddenly sing and dance. A sense of dynamism, the musical style but not the way a musical is done, so when Shama (of course, von Trier's women carry his own personality somewhat) was talking about her eccentric movie views earlier , which is a reactionary interpretation. As the plot unfolds, the harder life gets, the more repressed and strong Shama shows her smile, the next song. 3I' ve seen it all: There is a similar image of "The Arrival of the Train" here. And her eye disease has worsened -- and when she can't see the audience, it kind of hints at her fate. "Being able to watch" is the basic unit of watching a movie, and Von Trier asked her to "can't watch", which is a reflection of the director's "anti" and his own voice: What is a movie? According to the lyrics, let us see the whole, the past and the future, the light and the dark, and through the film, we can see a packaged emotion: when Jeff (a male friend who loves Shama) talks about those tangible sights, substance When looking at the family view, Shama said that it has been seen through, but a more intangible emotion, which (even if invisible) can play memories on the screen of her own imagination. All here also has another meaning. The previous musicals only showed the best, this one has to show the bad things, so the audience can see all of them. 4 You're just doing what you're supposed to do: The plot is ridiculous, but it's not hard to see the director's intentions. This paragraph is breaking the precepts of teasing horses, let's list them first: 1. There is a later addition, the scene of the wife in the American flag. 2. On singing and dancing, the music has been recorded separately. 3. The singing and dancing clips are not hand-held. 4. There are special lighting. 5. The song and dance clips have filter effects. 6. Murder with weapons. 7. The story takes place in the 1960s, about forty years before the filming. 8. This is a musical type film. 9. It is digital shooting, not film. 10. The director has signed. And this is the original convention: (refer to the wiki) The director has signed. And this is the original convention: (refer to the wiki) The director has signed. And this is the original convention: (refer to the wiki) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%81%93%E6%A0%BC%E7%8E%9B95 If it is brought in symbolically, Shama is the creator, Bill is the oath to amuse the horse, and the child is a kind of artistic responsibility and purity, so it is not difficult to understand. So the kid in the film shouts, "You're just doing what you're supposed to do." As a creator, you shouldn't be bound by restrictions. A little political irony is added here, the American flag is fake like this song and dance. 5. Musical: This musical is packed with human hypocrisy, and the hardships of reality always hold Shama. Things were getting harder and harder, and even Shama hypnotized herself and said, "This is a musical!", because nothing terrible happens in a musical. This passage also expresses her intoxication of singing and dancing in her music world and her dancing in reality. In the plot, Shama was sentenced to death for first-degree murder. Even if a friend tried to reverse the case, her determination could not be shaken, and the money she left behind cured her son's eye disease. 6107 steps: This is the reading of the dance steps, also like a countdown, a dancer's figure reaches a high point. 7 This wasn't the last song: "Listen to yourself!" when friend Kathy stormed the execution site to inform her son that he had recovered. When Shama found out, she died and sang her actual first song (no background music at all), fantasy is no longer fantasy, she has gained dignity with love in the pain of life. Beauty will stay, and that's all.... But the director didn't let Shama finish singing, he suddenly stopped the singing, after that, the camera turned to the audience's point of view, and the last paragraph of the song "They say it's the last song/They don't know us, you see/It's only the last song/If we let it be." Then the stage ended, and the camera slowly moved up and left. 8 New World: It's over. “The film is integrated into life, and the moving imagination is integrated into the suffering of life.” This is something that we audiences can already experience. Von Trier filmed it truthfully, but why do we still feel powerless? Just because we witnessed the death of a fan. The shadows of nothingness keep obscuring the viewer's eyes: do we exist in essence? Neither von Trier nor the world let everyone see the answer. In the end, where did Shama go? I don't want to be skeptical, I want the camera to move up with her, sublime into heaven, and the spirit is with the audience.
