"Dream come true" lies in the word "dream", because it is a dream, so we enjoyed an unparalleled visual feast. Since watching "Last Year at Marienbad", this is a film that has shocked me again, both in terms of theme and presentation. First of all, let’s go through the story: Christy and Annie met and fell in love at first sight, determined their relationship on the hillside and then got married (there was a sweet time after marriage), and then had two children. Three months before the child died, Christy taught her daughter to play chess, and she married her daughter. The son had a spiritual exchange and understood each other. Three months later, he had a water fight with the grown child. The child died on the way to school the next day. Then there was the funeral. After the funeral, Anne was schizophrenic and was sent to a mental hospital. Christie Filed for divorce and told her not to give up but Annie was willing to accept the reality and cooperate with the treatment so they had no points, four years later Christie was checking a little girl and received a call from Annie, in order to get Annie back to celebrate their double day Christie Promised Annie to help her get the painting, but died in a car accident on the way to the painting, Christie who died came to the imaginary world, that is, Annie's oil painting, where she met her daughter and son, and during this period Annie couldn't bear the pain She committed suicide and went to hell, Christie went to hell to rescue her, and finally rescued Annie. In the end, they both reincarnated and met by a lake. The sequence of this story was adjusted by me. The sequence of the film uses a lot of flashbacks. The first depiction of a good time as a prelude provides the possibility of rescue with love later, and a series of flashbacks are used to prove this possibility. Because of this montage, the narrative of the film is full of beauty. 1. The sequence of the theme story is roughly like this, I have to talk about the theme of the film first. This is a film with the motif of "love", and the dialectics of imagination and existence extended from it are all subtopics. Why is the motif called love? There is no doubt that love is the ubiquitous factor that drives the plot. First of all, the love at first sight prompted Christy and Annie to be together, and they got married and had children. The love for the child caused Annie to have a nervous breakdown and once gave up on herself. The love for the dog made the daughter even turn her face with her mother. He did not give up, but his love for Annie made Christie come to the world of oil painting after his death, and his love for children allowed him to find his daughter and son who had been transformed, and Christie and Annie's love finally brought them to the world of dreams and fell in love at first sight again after reincarnation. ...there is no part of the whole film that is not the embodiment of love, and love is of course not limited to the love of men and women, but also the love of parents, the love of admiration, the love of friends... Every kind of love is directed towards the motif of love and also expresses the idea that love is the source of the world. Another example of love is the source of the world is the speculation about "I think, therefore I am". The film depicts a beautiful imaginary world after Christie's death, and this world was imagined by himself. Christie also said that the head is "I", and although the head is also a part of the body, it exists beyond the body. In the same way, heaven is an imagined dream, and hell is naturally an imagined dream, so there is no such thing as heaven and hell, and neither dream nor reality. And love can save it all. I think, therefore I am, is obviously idealism, you are me and I am you, so daughter and son can become others, Albert can become others, the whole film is also built based on this point: the world of death. The theme of the film is "hope". In the imaginary world, only "love" can produce "hope", so love is repeated as a motif. 2. The beauty of form The beauty of form includes the form of the story, as well as the rhythm editing. The content of the story of the film has been smoothed out before, but the form is not arranged in this way. The film only takes more than seven minutes to show the harmony and love of the family, followed by a deadly death, and then four years later, Christie and Annie's stable happiness is shown again, and then Christie is dead. Such a plot took about 30 minutes and can be regarded as the first paragraph of the film, paving the way for the subsequent film to rescue with love. Next is the performance of Christie's imaginary world and Anne's world, which are cross-edited to form a sharp "light and dark" contrast. Annie's choice to commit suicide is the second part of the film, which promotes Annie's plot for the third film where Christie goes to hell. It echoes the previous child's death that made her collapse, and makes an obvious contrast with the result of "live and die". , showing how deep her love for Christie is. The third part is the rescue from hell and the final success. Like the previous one, it still uses a lot of flashbacks to show the comparison between the past and the present. The last part is that Christie and Annie fall in love at first sight again after reincarnation, which corresponds to the first love at first sight and also ends the motif of "love". The film's cross-editing, flashback and other techniques are used just right, so it does not overwhelm the guest, but serves the style of the film and creates the art of the film. 3. The beauty of the picture The pictures of the film are undoubtedly beautiful to the extreme, and many large perspectives and panoramas are just one painting, just like the world of oil paintings Christie lives in, as if the film itself is a quick browse of oil paintings. The beauty of heaven and the suffering of hell are all perfectly expressed, and the wonder and reality have to be shocked. The film also uses high-speed photography. When showing some turning points or emotional movements, you will find that the picture slows down. It seems to be contemplative, and it also makes people meditate. Emotions are contained within and cannot be expressed. Just like when the child went to school, Christy watched the car slowly pass by, and Anne painted the expression in front of the purple tree slowly... The film also used a lot of lyrical long shots, like Christy and Annie sitting on the hill at the beginning of the film. The picture on the hill, this picture is compared with the picture of the oil painting, which is the use of photographic techniques of similar or repeated pictures. There is also a long shot of Anne's life after Christie's death, which is a shot that feels like it's dying: gradually zooming in, the floor is full of that familiar blue flower... The contrast is stark and only Anne is left. grief. The imaginary world has no constraints, it can be very slow or beautiful, but there are also constraints in the imaginary world, and the constraints come from oneself. Therefore, heaven and hell actually arise from themselves, and only love can save oneself, which returns to the motif of "love". Whether it's the shape or the structure of the picture, whether it's the photography or the theme, the film is perfect, and most importantly, it expresses what I agree with: love is the source of the world. "Dream" is the source of beauty and terror, but as long as there is love, there is hope for everything. The stark contrast highlights Anne's grief alone. The imaginary world has no constraints, it can be very slow or beautiful, but there are also constraints in the imaginary world, and the constraints come from oneself. Therefore, heaven and hell actually arise from themselves, and only love can save oneself, which returns to the motif of "love".
