Killing and dissecting the body, leaving his head in the refrigerator, it's okay to take out a few words, it sounds very gloomy, but when it comes out, it looks like a beauty camera is installed in a video camera. A mentally ill prisoner who has been in jail for 15 years for killing someone, but he turned out to be a white, tender and cute boy.
However, this is also the charm of the film.
The director was a cartoonist and children's literature writer before shooting the film. It is not surprising that a director who is always accompanied by paints and brushes and who is good at telling stories to innocent children can produce such works. Moreover, this film is not the director’s debut. Her previous works such as "Growing up in Iran" have been widely acclaimed. Looking at the mature director skills and color use shown in this film, it seems that the cartoonists have treated her. The director's job is already familiar.
Film is a visual art, and the rich use of colors in this film captures the audience's attention very well. Speaking of the rich colors of this film, it can be made into a rainbow after the rain. These colors not only enrich the visual expression of the film, but also internally shape the characters. For example, in blue, Jerry wears a navy blue jacket to go home after get off work, which shows his alienation from the society. It is not difficult to see his gentle manner and the location of the house when he talks with the supervisor. At the later planning meeting, the navy blue shirt on Jerry also brought out his estrangement from other colleagues. Blue is a standard cold color, unlike red, which gives people passion and initiative. On the contrary, blue expresses quietness and passivity. Jerry and the female colleagues in the accounting department were passive when eating together, and the chat between the meals was also passive, and he was wearing that navy blue jacket. At the planning meeting, it was not just Jerry who seemed out of place with colleagues, but also Fiona in a white shirt sitting across from him. White has always been a symbol of purity. Fiona's innocence is not only because she is the only person who offered suggestions at the planning meeting, but also because she and her colleagues cried out how she was deceived by her boyfriend. It is not only Fiona that is pure, but also Jerry’s attitude or feelings towards Fiona. Jerry went to collect Fiona’s body. Fiona’s white underwear seemed to be a white wedding dress, and Jerry picked it up. Fiona's body was more like a bride who had taken her away.
There are countless examples of this in the film, such as the yellow jacket that Jerry wore when giving Fiona an invitation to Xishan. The same jacket was also worn when killing someone with a knife; the overall color of Jerry’s home and the color of the psychologist’s office They were all brown, and Jerry wore a brown shirt when he saw the doctor for the first time; I sometimes think that other colleagues in Jerry’s freight department are mentally ill, after all, only workers wear them. The tooling is pink...
The richness of colors is an intuitive stimulus to vision, and the use of light has a potential impact on vision.
What impressed me more was the scene in the office when Jerry saw the doctor for the first time. This is a dialogue scene, very simple, Jerry and the doctor sit and talk. However, it is not difficult to observe carefully. Behind the doctor is a large window. The sun is good outside, and Jerry is sitting facing the doctor (window). That is, the doctor’s face is backlit and Jerry’s face is shiny. The result is that the doctor’s face is darker and the back is brighter, while Jerry’s face appears brighter in the coffee-colored environment of the entire office. The back is darker. This intuitively shows that the two are not on the same channel.
Treating light in this way helps the narrative on the one hand, but also makes people have to think. Mental patients and doctors, seemingly at the two extremes, have similarities. For example, they have both bright and dark sides, but the two are different. For example, Jerry is a face, that is, the external appearance is "bright." Yes, and the back, the inner psychology is “dark”; or according to the plot, Jerry’s environment, growth environment, and living environment are “dark”, while the doctor’s environment is “bright”.
Speaking of this, we must talk about the characters in the film. The protagonist Jerry, the information available is that Jerry has hereditary mental illness and his stepfather has a violent tendency. He killed his mother and was in jail for 15 years, during which he was sexually assaulted by the prisoner. The whole film is shown from Jerry's perspective. Ironically, everything in Jerry's world is so beautiful and beautiful. It is not difficult to see that Jerry sees the world differently from other people. He has been very lonely since he was a child. When he was a child, the little bunny socks were his friends. After adulthood, cats and dogs are his friends, and this is precisely what people think. Of his illness. He didn't want to hurt anyone, but he didn't want to receive treatment. The medicine brought him a lonely and cold world. Who would be willing to change it? The director’s casting work must be complimented. The image and performance of Ryan brought to the audience a perverted murderer of a handsome and cute boy. After watching the film, people did not blame Jerry, but there was a trace of sympathy and sympathy. mercy.
