It’s true that this film has been kept in the list of want to watch after 12 years of Oscar nominations, so that when I was in high school, I also posted a circle of friends saying, "I must buy a villa in Nanshan in the future, and I will be in the Huxin Pavilion during the day. Watch the snow and watch "Very Loud, Very Close" at home at night."
Today, eight years later, I finally finished watching this film. To be honest, it may be a far cry from the expectations accumulated over the years. I did not feel the charm of this film. I watched the film myself for a long time without pausing to watch the phone in the middle. This time I really couldn't help it. The preparation is correct, but the rhythm is too slow. Even though I have studied the "911" incident in depth for a month in the professional class of "International News Production", even if I have seen the superimposed picture of the first Twin Towers fall from the boy's perspective, I can instantly understand the director. The implication of the setting, I still feel that the film is pushed too slowly. The character setting of the little boy is not in line with my appetite. I have never liked this kind of "precocious" children. The slightly perverse reminds me of Norman in "Bates Hotel".
In addition, the shaping and processing of some characters and details also made me suspicious: First of all, the settings of grandpa and grandma are slightly unnecessary. If you want to explain the content of the voice mail, there can be a better way; second, the hand bell The settings confuse me. I have deliberately observed the role of this prop from the moment it was unveiled, but throughout the article, I have not found its role other than sound. I personally think that it can be discarded, or there can be better ways to deal with it for the purpose of expressing his character; also, seeing the change in the attitude of the mother's role in the comments of the household registration teacher is too blunt, which is quite "consummation for the sake of perfection". . It really makes sense to think carefully, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Finally, objectively speaking, the little boy's acting skills are good, but hysterics is really not my type.
In short, it was not very enjoyable to watch. The film is average, and there are a lot of details in the middle. I don't know if it's because I was a little tired today, and I always feel that I haven't explained it clearly. In addition, to ask an audio-visual question, the little boy is pacing in a dark room before witnessing his grandpa move away. What is the effect of the lighting design in light and dark? I personally think that it is the use of light and dark to express the strong ups and downs and struggles in my heart. I wonder if there is a deeper audiovisual effect? I want to discuss with other friends who have ideas.

[Edit] 3.5/5 I think the technology of the film The indicators are still complete [coloring] 3.5/5 The coloring is in line with my expectations, and the processing of many scenes has confirmed my vision
To be a digression, when the little boy cried to Black that he couldn't answer the phone, I suddenly thought, "There is no such thing as a supposed to be in this world." At certain moments, I think I can empathize with the boy in the film. I have missed a person like him. But I never regretted it. I once wrote a long, long time ago, "If you miss it, you miss it. If you didn't make it, you didn't make it. How can you say that everything is the best arrangement?" It's just that I haven't watched this movie yet. Never heard of this dialogue. I have long understood this truth, but I still make mistakes again and again.
