Not counted as a film review: a great director who uses DV

David Lynch's latest movie "Inland Empire" hasn't been watched yet, and he has praised his predecessors "Mulholland Road" and "The Wilderness of the Night". After reading an introduction, his new work is still chaotic in time and space, with dreams intertwined with reality, challenging people's intellectual limits, and it doesn't seem to be much new compared to the previous work. But I was surprised to find that David Lynch actually used Sony DVCAM PD150P to shoot the new film "Inland Empire".
There are already many directors who use digital cameras to shoot movies, ranging from Hollywood director George Lucas to Chinese independent film flagpoles Jia Zhangke and Ning Hao. But like David Lynch, he uses "amateur-level" DV to shoot top-notch important works. Directors are absolutely rare. George Lucas's "Star Wars Prequel" uses Sony's most advanced CineAlta digital cinema system, and Jia Zhangke's "The Good Man in Three Gorges" and Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" also use Sony's latest HDV models. Although the Sony PD150P is a classic model, it is already an old star many years ago. The 60-year-old David Lynch’s alternative broke out in another way. He took a shot with a device that amateur DV enthusiasts would not bother to use. A shocking movie. Once again, it is proved by practical actions that equipment is not the most critical, technology is also a point-to-point thing, and the content is decisive.
In the field of photography, Hasselblad, the world’s top camera brand, has the most customers in China and its largest market is in China. However, China cannot produce a few decent international photographers, only some government officials holding Hasselblad cards enshrined by others. It's really sad to express my confidence in the good mountains and rivers.
