Male: I want to write "So The film review of "The Son of Myrtle" has won so many awards, but when I thought about it later, let's get it down!
Woman: What's wrong?
Male: I didn't understand it, it's too brain-burning! It's not that the story burns brains, yes, what is so good about this movie? How can I praise it?
Female: I don’t understand a lot. I found a rule. On film review forums, all those who spit out, not long-formed, or even award-winning movies where few people have commented, basically no one can’t understand. ...
Men: Ha, it is true. I am much more peaceful when you say that. Let's listen to Sensen's interpretation. It is estimated that he is also choking...
Then I will comment on this movie and see if it can reach your satisfaction!
Let's not talk about the feeling of watching movies, whether it is depressed or not. As for whether you like it or not, it is not a question of artistic consideration. The Oscar judges do not measure art based on the likes and dislikes of certain people. And I only need to show you the brilliance of the film and understand why the film can be awarded, even if the task is completed.
Okay, listen carefully!
The biggest feature of the filming technique of this film is that the camera always surrounds the protagonist, following his sight, shaking back and forth, as if it is like a fly, always sticking to him, right?
Woman: That's right!
The director sometimes uses the first perspective to shoot, surely he also has a purpose?
Male: Does the director make the audience feel immersed? Bring the audience into that atmosphere?
The key to us is to look at character creation and a large number of plots. Here we have to experience it with our heart, otherwise you will not understand the intentions of other directors. We have noticed these details. This male protagonist Sol seems to be a stranger, and his way of thinking is different. In the organization of the actor, he was directed like a puppet, but slowly discovered that no one can really control him... It
feels like, you say the east, he is biased towards the west, turning back countless times, like a Disobedient hamster, right? I have raised this stuff, it's fun!
Woman: Ha, that's right! He didn't dare to resist, but there was also a kind of stubbornness. I didn't know what he was thinking, just like a problem teenager...
At this time we want to feel the powerful thoughts and power in his heart. Let's use one word to describe it: mind power !
Then let's just imagine entering the inner world of the protagonist. If you are in hell and you find that you have no chance to escape, I might think of death. Even if this life is over, I will explain it here. Of course, most people will definitely think of the next life. Isn't it reasonable?
Male: Reasonable! Because these are the most basic philosophical issues of mankind in the past and present, as long as it is a human, it will be considered.
I talked about the environment that the director wanted to create. In fact, it included him and the Jews around him. They knew their fate very well, because this is a cemetery. The Jews are worthless here. The red fork behind it is the target. It seems to Er that everything is meaningless. He doesn't intend to escape at all. There is nothing worth remembering, or worth seeing...
Female: Yes, they are all in nothingness, in a smoky graveyard, everything will be It is ashes.
A large number of shots present a hell, where everything is lifeless and breathless, and guides the audience into the world of the protagonist and understand his thoughts.
Being in the body of thousands of corpses, this is the world of the dead, in the dark, as if the light of the gods is guiding...Unlike others, Sol has a clear purpose to find the Jewish priest and bury the children.
Woman: I have a question. Let me ask. We later learned that the child was not Sol’s biological son, but why did he favor the body of this child?
This is what I just said, people’s mentality in extreme environments, does this child have a characteristic?
Male: tenacious vitality?
That's right! Because he was the only one who survived in the gas chamber. But Saul chose him for this, thinking that he was his own son, the future, and his future life and reincarnation. Therefore, he had an idea that he must be buried well.
Male: Oh, so to speak, his thoughts are actually normal and reasonable.
Female; this is very similar to "Shawshank Redemption", although he is not an escape, but he has a strong belief in his next life!
You are very right! As for the funeral, Judaism should have annotations. I won’t talk about it. Besides, I don’t really understand. So, the male protagonist Saul had the idea. He wanted to bury the child and insisted on finding a priest to pray. This is him. Thoughts at the time.
We watched the plot. In the morgue, some German officers laughed at him, thinking that Jews danced besides eating and sleeping. Pay attention to the subtext here. We have to dig out these thoughts from watching movies: Jews will burst out so powerful from a corpse. How can the strength and courage of you, executioners, understand it?
Male: Wow, if you read it this way, I can understand the meaning of these plots, it is indeed very purposeful!
So when we interpret the language of the lens, we need to refine it. We follow the lens. Thor pushes the car and looks forward. In the world of the dead, everything in front of him is a corpse in his eyes. How can there be a future in such a place? When I look back, he may not just look at the past. What he saw is the dead, because the corpse that he missed in his heart is all the world of dead people. I just mentioned why Saul is always disobedient, because no one can manipulate his thoughts, let alone his soul.
Female: Yes, and when I think about it, the lens is often de-blurred. What's the purpose of this?
It just emphasizes the concept of nothingness, usefulness and uselessness. If you have gold today, you have value. Without gold, you might be a corpse...
Male: Oh? I see! You really know how to interpret the
original! Film reviews are not in vain, but they all rely on obscenity. That's nonsense, and it's a layman! It has to be in the hearts of others! This kind of blurring was used very cleverly. In fact, it will not affect our interpretation and presentation of the environment at that time, because everyone can imagine what kind of environment it was, and the historical background of the Nazi concentration camps is familiar!
We see, after that, the woman didn't know the male lead Saul, and they didn't say anything, just looked at each other, and the woman gave him what was in her hand. Why?
Woman: In such an environment, who can I believe? How many chances do I have?
Yes, I’m standing here today, and I may be in the cremator tomorrow...Anyone who appears in front of my eyes may be The life-saving straws are all arranged by God, and because it is hell, I am in hell, and my heart is as cold as gray. It is impossible to have any sustenance or non-discrimination, except for those who have escape plans, so we must To understand these methods of Thor, this is what the director strives to create.
Looking further back, the audience will think, where did he come from so much strength. Carrying the corpse here all the time, even thinking about crossing the river. Everyone pays attention to the comparison. When he loses the corpse in his hand, he seems to lose all his strength at once, just breathe, and finally is dragged to the shore.
Male: Oh, you are such a reminder, contrast, I seem to see a bit Going out...
Look again, did Sol look back? Not once? Compared with before, I looked around repeatedly before and turned around... Does it constitute a sharp contrast?
Woman: Why?
When he saw the corpse going down the water and there were chasing soldiers behind, everything was over at this time, all his plans fell to nothing, people lost their faith and hope, and were desperate. In fact, he didn't want to escape at all, he just wanted to bury that child... …
We need these details. Look, the German officer covered the child’s mouth, and this time the child was released and ran away.
Why did I say this time, do you still remember that the child was killed by covering his mouth in the same way? And these two times actually echoed each other, and gave people the space to associate, why do you want to design this way, people are justified by the director!
Female: Do you mean that if you firmly believe that your child is not dead, he will not die! There is always a proof and source for you to see the divinity... that
's right! Sol saw the child resurrected before he died. Is that a miracle? Although the audience doesn't think so, Saul thinks it must be! As long as you have faith in your heart, God will always open a door for you...
Male: Yes, Saul firmly believes in the miracle of life, death is not to be feared, and the belief in the afterlife, the afterlife, the light of the gods... these are firmly fixed Rooted in Thor's heart.
Faith cannot die. Faith does not die, and life will inevitably be passed on. Isn't the blond-haired boy a kind of inheritance in the dark?
We fight, this life is over, we trust the next life, we will never give up, we stick to our beliefs, whether it’s war or fleeing, maybe for life, maybe for death, maybe just for a corpse, for tomorrow we will persist in this way, by This burst of power is enough to deter and knock down all enemies who despise us.
Woman: Wow, so touched! I really want to cry!
As long as a nation has faith, it can't be defeated. Look at this Jew, it's just such a thought. How powerful, fearless, and shocking is this kind of power that erupts!
Pianist stills
There are many films about the Nazis persecuting Jews. "The Pianist" is also a similar theme. The story does not promote the spirit of resistance and fighting, but it highlights the tenacious vitality and the power of belief. The theme of each film is different. Only when you understand the theme can you be qualified. Do interpretation.
Man: Now I believe it, can't you really ask?
Hehe, I do film reviews, not trying to prove myself. In fact, I have reached what level very early, don't I still count this in my heart?
When we screenwriters get the story, the more bizarre and novel the story, the more likely it is to win the prize, but it is often difficult to write, the theme is not clear, because there is no directionality, so the script feels more and more written Overseas Chinese, writing and writing are just like clichés, or go wrong, don’t know how to integrate ideas into the story, and have artistic means to show it... This is actually a lack of artistic cultivation and cannot reach the standards of masters. In a word, you just can't control it!
So this show is to close the distance between international masters, so that everyone with a story has the opportunity to write a wonderful and good movie.
