Shot 2: Outside the city hall, a small official shows off the sophisticated equipment of the governor's campaign car in front of Rhett. Finally, he said: "Perfect!", exaggerated, complacent, trivial, and petty.
Shot 3: On the campaign vehicle, due to Rhett's unconstrained nature, it has now turned into a funny hunting vehicle. People are discussing how to set up roadblocks. Here is an intriguing dialogue: "In the perfect world, we can surround them (Bucci and his companions) hand in hand." "In the perfect world, this situation is fundamentally different. Impossible to happen." Between the confrontation of words, there is a silent blank that is enough to arouse our thinking.
Shot 4: In the store named "FRIENDLY", the clerk has a forceful smile on his face. Facing Butch who is trying on sunglasses, she exclaims in a sweet and greasy voice: "Perfect", ironic, "Perfection" has become secular and cheap here, and it can be discarded everywhere like a leaflet, exuding the foul smell of copper.
Shot 5: The Governor's Office. Under the spotlight, the governor held Philip's mother's hand tightly and promised the safety of the child, because he had already made the seemingly greatest "sacrifice" to involve the "Perfect" campaign vehicle in the hunt, although after the reporter turned around, He gave the order to take back the campaign car. The tangible traces are too obvious, but they add a satirical comedy. Smile because of numbness, numb because of smile.
Shot 6: Butch wants Philip to introduce the "wilder world" on the postcard, which is a "perfect" world. The tone is long, with a few traces of intoxication mixed in the blur, and maybe there is a longing that is disproportionate to the criminals of the desperate world. Seeing his ruthlessness towards his companions, listening to the tragic experience of his childhood from the female detective, Buqi's obsession with the "wilder world", and the silence of his soul at that moment, as if a world away.
Shot Seven: Say goodbye. Butch stretched out his blood-stained hand, which was his own blood, and curiously entangled with Philip's little hand. "Goodbye, this is a perfect journey." Butch said. This is their last stare at each other at the same height. This is the handshake of the father and the son, the face to face of the man.
Scene 8: Philip returns to Butch's side, whimpers and hugs. "I think my negotiation is a perfect deal." This is the last time "perfection" appears in the entire film. There is no deliberate deepening or sublimation of human beings. It is casual and self-deprecating, but it is enough to impress the audience, in tears. Laugh in laughter, cry in laughter. An unexpected negotiation won Philip a marshmallow, a roller coaster, and a Halloween "Treat or Trick". For a child, it is a truly perfect world.
Interspersing these numerous shots in one place is like forming an ingenious emotional montage. The director used his unique instinctual lens language to express his views on "perfection" in the context of strong contrasts and conflicts, amidst seemingly absurd talk and laughter.
Finally: the
dim sun, the flying cloud eagle, the lush grass, the mask of the elf, the scattered dollars, the hanging wings of the helicopter, the peacefully lying butch...cover all the elements of the opening picture. The director meticulously designed a dreamy start. In the image of 1 minute and 30 seconds, all sound narration and all signs related to the coherent story are discarded. There is no police, no blood, no hoarse mother, and simply let the still life speak. Unspeakable and complicated emotions spread in the hearts of the audience. Everyone carried such a peculiar picture on their backs. It was not until they reached the end that they realized that the director's deception had played a big joke, and the elements of the title were only there. The true interpretation of each. I really want to know that the last time Butch looked around, what he saw was a flying eagle, or Philip, the kid who was riding on the "rocket" as his own. The gap between dreams and reality has become a fool of wisdom. It is no reason to judge the fairness and injustice of life. For sudden death, there is no hysteria, no dying struggle, and it is as calm as a deep sleep, as if you can drive a space-time machine when you wake up. , And set off toward the "wilderness paradise" in my heart.
The front of the screen is a virtual story; the back of the screen is infused with human dignity.
Death is the most complete end, and all explorations in front of it will return without success. But fortunately, the fall of life, the silent accusation, is better than a thousand words, giving us eyes to examine and a heart of contemplation.
People always have one reason or another to refuse to like a movie, which is understandable. But a film that makes people fall into the precipitation of thoughts is a realization and a success in itself.
"Perfect World" shows us an imperfect real world, which is not important. The important thing is that with its unique artistic language, the film captures the complexities of the world and preserves a futurism about perfection in our hearts. The important thing is that the moment of rubbing our shoulders with perfection gives us a chance to self-respect, to send out a world-shattering alert in the distance of indulging, to prevent us from continuing to lose in the complacent numbness just because we still have enough food and clothing. More things.
