The whole film is super stable, and almost everything is deducted. It may be because of the novel as a basis. Unfortunately, it is stable. After watching it, I will really think about why the Coen Brothers or Quentin were not allowed to shoot.
The opening is murder, the black screen makes a sound, and it draws a line from the traditional Western genre. This is a time and space that can take place in any native English speaker. Who said it must be the American West at the end of the 19th century. The stables are on fire, one goes in to save the horse, the other doesn't care. The way the two protagonists shape their characters is generally compared. The audience who are not distracted can basically feel two common characters in modern dramas. Very delicate and gentle.
The way the brothers talk about their mission, which is the narrative motivation of the entire film, is actually not a very smart approach, but it is very stable, down-to-earth and straightforward. There is also a monologue in this film that can be regarded as a post-production reshoot or a director's way of breaking the fourth wall. The younger brother tells how he got the news of Morris.
After the two brothers finished talking, they walked out of the bar, well, Westworld season 1 introduced the specific technique of Westworld, that is, let the protagonist walk out of the bar and walk into the street, and the audience can see this from the protagonist's point of view. It may be possible for us. It is the past of the Republic of China. The anti-type is that there is only a very short shot, and there is no extension. The director probably wanted to say that everyone is familiar with the western world in the video, and this film may be similar, so let's not waste time watching it, Follow the protagonist.
The perspective of the first half is actually the brother's, until after the two brothers met Morris and the others, they switched to the brother's perspective by replacing the ending shots of two or three consecutive scenes with the brother's observation shots. At this time, my brother started to lose his mind a little. My brother was the first to appear in a single scene. Yes, I bought a toothbrush and tooth powder. Before, my brother wore a red shawl. With a beloved woman, he began to think about getting married and having children, such as a story in the new film of the Coen brothers. The single scene of the younger brother is drunk and crazy from the perspective of the elder brother, and even the little plum thing that the younger brother killed a bear with his bare hands at night, that is, the way of dreaming. It is said that transplanting a sensational dream and then using Conversation to pick up the burden is a bit kitsch.
Drink and ride with a hangover the next day. Analogy to the first time the brothers rode on horses and the younger brother walked forward. The camera should be about to turn around to see the younger brother riding the horse galloping away, but it was cut out and replaced with a close-up of the older brother. When he saw this treatment, he smiled knowingly. The brother story of the elder brother is the leader, although the younger brother is running ahead now, don't worry, there is a reversal.
The first paragraph is completed, explaining the time, place, characters, events, and motives of the characters. It can be regarded as a good establishment of two different images of brothers with their own characteristics. So insert the follower, that is, the case of the killer chased, how to do it, well, establish an observer, complete this part of the explanation through the narration of the observer's notes, until the two people get acquainted with a very chicken soup reason , this narration seems to have basically disappeared, in fact, it is not very clever. Acquaintance and discovery are too quick and too casual. The audience understood the scene where the curtains were lifted to watch him walk away, but he doubted it for Mao.
Suddenly there is a slow motion in the middle, which weakens the background sound and highlights the sound of the horse's panting. It's very clever here. How to show that the horse under the crotch is exhausted. It's better to let the horse perform well, beautiful and direct, I like it very much. The horse doesn't know what happened to the bear that night.
Then the person who was in charge of following the person being chased and killed suddenly came down with a confession-like confession, but he still couldn't get a response. The new stuff brought by the seditious idealist churned to the point of trembling on the knees.
The scene of the two brothers eating is great. They used shallow focus during the conversation. After the two entered the argument holding hands, they forgot where they were, but after the fight, it attracted the attention of the people around them. So false, the elder brother cares that the younger brother slaps himself in public, and bystanders will emerge. The excessive sound in this scene is not crossed, it is directly cut off. The effect of this sound processing method is from a noisy mood to a quiet mood, but the quiet mood is a response to the loud mood. Directly cutting off the sound itself actually substitutes the sound of the previous scene into the next scene.
The director likes to cut with the action of the characters in the mid-range switching to the action of the panorama followed by the continuation of the action or the result of the result.
When the two brothers were tied up by Morris and the others, the angle of view was first of the elder brother's, and there was an audio-visual subjective lens processing from being knocked out and then sober, quite like the Grand Budapest Hotel. How to establish the relationship between the two pairs of people is through the voice. After the two brothers who are tied up have finished talking about what they need to talk about, after the information is conveyed, they turn the narrative perspective to them by calling out Morris and the others who are not there. , a little concert singing and singing to let the audience sing together.
In addition to the toothbrush, the most touching thing about the scene of the younger brother alone is that he gave the gun to Morris. Morris could kill this selfish, brainless idiot with no future. If he knew, Then he is frank, if he doesn't know what he is doing, he is rare in the world.
Die without hate.
At the end, this kind of lens was used badly. Fortunately, the light was good enough, there was wind, and the curtains could float.
To sum up, everything is stable and stable to the point of lack of aura.
Fortunately, the time selection of the background of the story is very interesting, very solid, and very cultural. Traditional Westerns are fascinated by the spirit of the West itself, and anti-type Westerns are fascinated by the stereotyped characters and stories under the anti-Western spirit itself. This seems to be me. The first time I've seen it, let the story take place in the transition period, between the old and the new, between civilization and barbarism. I don't know how Americans understand the west of the gold rush era, but all the stories selected in the transition period and the transition period are brilliant, Even if there is a problem, it is a problem that the story does not tell clearly.
The trend is.
Plus, the hallucinogen-like dream effect introduced by eating spiders is simply better than getting drunk and eating mushrooms in the rain and getting a high fever or really just sleeping and having nightmares. . . It's more interesting, the younger brother may have been abused by his father, and he probably showed a little sign when he pretended to talk in his sleep to attract his brother's doting.
