The whole film, I would describe it with beating beautiful notes. The reason is naturally related to the large amount of piano music in the film, and the other reason is the beautiful scenery and the light style. Even the names are so wonderful, their names are like couplets, Lu Xiaoyu; Ye Xianglun. Love their names. In this film, everything is so pure, even the so-called bad students are so pure. I haven't seen such a pure first love in a long time. One of the shots I think is very beautiful. Xiaoyu and Alan stand under the door arch. Aaron said that the weather is good today, and Xiaoyu closed his eyes and raised his head to feel the beautiful weather. The composition of this shot takes the light rain as the foreground, the tree in the middle, the sky in the background, and the changing rhythm of the door. At that moment, I really felt how good the weather was! The scene selection of the film is also very careful, and it is still a success.
The language of the shots is relatively mature, not as mature as a person who just made a movie should be. The lens has front, right and rear, head and tail. The upper and lower shots are also echoed, and it looks really complete. The control of the rhythm and the advancement of the plot are also very accurate. In the end, Allen rushed to the old piano room to play the piano. The parallel montage was also very appropriate, which increased the tension and showed Allen's determination or infatuation.
It's just that there are two plots in it. Although they are needed for the development of the plot, I think they are very strong notes, which are not very consistent with the tone of the whole film. The first one appeared in the graduation ceremony scene. Allen knew that everything about himself seemed to be an imagination. The flashback shots here, including the strong music, turned the film into a suspense film in an instant. The change was too sudden. The performance is also too intense. Although it is a plot arrangement, I still feel that this plot is too jumpy. I wonder if there is a better way. The second one appeared in the penultimate scene. Aaron played the piano in the old piano room. The old piano room was demolished too exaggeratedly. I knew that the intention was to enhance the contrast, and the front was also well prepared. The reason why I think there are some jumps in these two plots may be due to the previous plots, which are really beautiful and warm, and they left a deep impression on me. When I saw that the secret was revealed to the world, I was a little disappointed for a time. I felt that the tone of the film was completely destroyed, and the comfortable and innocent first love I had expected was also destroyed. But in later episodes, the rhythm and tone were rediscovered, and the ending was good. So it doesn't affect the overall situation very much, and it doesn't have much impact on my appreciation of the film.
Zhou's acting skills have improved, and his expression has finally become richer. There are many musical elements in this film. As a musician, he has grasped this degree very well, and made full use of the elements of music to make this film very beautiful, and he did not make this film into a musical or MTV. Although some plots are a bit plagiarized, such as playing the piano, but when I first made a movie, it was made like this. I really admire it! It seems that you can learn a lot from filming with Zhang Yimou and Liu Weiqiang! Envy, really envy!
