dom seems to still haunt his ears when he describes the future to patrick and augstin in the second season, while laughing and saying that parklet can have it.
In the movie version, the dom's chicken has been well decorated, and the parklet in the front has also been carefully managed.
Since the start of the TV series, the reputation has been high and the ratings are low. After two seasons, it was finally cut off, and the ending of the movie version is already a great luck in misfortune.
The reason is that "failure" is not enough drama, but this is exactly what andrew haigh wants to convey to the public:
Being gay is not necessary to be dramatical
even I never think looking is the main love, The friendship between the four of patty/dom/augstin/doris attracts my attention more, and what the director andrew haigh wants to express is more about their growth, and love is just a way to recognize oneself.
director himself once said: I want to focus on every aspect of being gay
, so I never stand on either side of team pk or team pr, because they are just a reflection of Patty's growth .
But the looking movie version, as the audience wished, gave a confession to the two-year relationship between patrick and richie, and also sacrificed the little wolf. I believe that in the design of the series, Kevin played by Little Wolf was always just one of the stops for Patrick to find himself, but the second season is really because the actors themselves are too prosperous and the drama is aggravated. In the movie version, the focus has returned to patty & rechie, although kevin performed the most tearful 10 minutes for us.
Many people felt that in the second season, the enlightened and kind brady had to become a suspicious and vicious biatch in the movie version in order to make richie and patty back together. Although I also feel a little blunt, in fact, since the year I spent with Richie, whether Richie still loves Patty in his heart, how could he not feel it as a pillow.
Limited to the episode being cut, the movie version had to push their growth in a more specific direction. In the original episode, there are too many clues that have not been unfolded, such as the relationship between patty and his mother, and the relationship between richie and his father. Relationships, dom's career, augstin's life pursuits, the relationship between doris and dom, the reconciliation between richie and augstin, all of these, within 2 hours of July, rushed to a end. All Andrew's clues in the TV series have been defeated by reality, and they can only be left in the movie version.
So I say the movie version is an atypical Andrew Haigh ending, because in AH's emotional worldview, there is never an ending.
Whether it is "45th Anniversary" or "Weekend Time", the ending of the film does not solve the crux of the emotional crux. Influenced by the new wave style, AH still hopes to reflect the reality as much as possible. In fact, our life and feelings have never been a real closer. The u close a chapter and u move on that appear many times in the movie version are not often realized in real life. More, we have regrets and move on. In the future, we will continue to make mistakes over and over again, until one day, we will suddenly be enlightened, and then we will be saved.
At the end of the film, andrew once again presented us with a set of high-quality long shots, drawing a semicolon for the emotional line of patty & rechie. Why did I say earlier that the director didn't pay much attention to the role of kevin to richie, which can be seen from the only two long shots in the two seasons of the TV series that were handed over to richie to accompany patty.
After the long shot of "Roadside Picnic" that was sought after by everyone, I finally saw a long shot treatment without a sense of existence. The dazzlingly long shots used in "Roadside Picnic" still make me shudder to this day. I haven't had such an urgent desire to escape from the cinema for quite some time. Of course, "Big Fish and Begonia" later trapped me in Movie theaters for more than an hour are not a common occurrence.
The long shot of looking for nearly 7 minutes seems to pull us back to the scene of the first two seasons again. It is the same patrick and richie, the same freshwater dialogue, but the relationship between the characters has become more real and close.
In life, if you really want to make a relationship come true, such dialogue time is essential. In the West, there is a special word to describe this time: that night
, you can only be considered a real person after you have experienced such a period. To start getting to know someone, those previous sex, ambiguity, conversation and gongchao intertwined, are only superficial contact.
Compared with montage, the use of depth-of-field shots and mise-en-scene to complete long shots should be based on the premise of restoring the reality of the scene, rather than long for length. It's like forcibly swallowing Viagra for the sake of being hard.
god bless every man who needs viagra
responds to the combination of different elements, and the long shots also show different amazing effects. One of them is to combine with large dialogues, usually two people are used as the main driving elements of the shot, and the actor's acting fluency and script writing skills are exquisite.
Because of a slight error, it is easy to make the audience lose patience in this long dialogue time, the most famous of which is Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise/Before Sunset/Before Midnight series, in which Jesse and Selina Those paragraphs of conversations between you and me in the long shots, the natural street corner turns, people can't help but sigh how natural and harmonious love came from. In Chinese movies in the past few years, the long shot used in the opening of Love, directed by Chengze Niu, is also quite wonderful and natural. In just 10 minutes, all the characters in the play are brought out and the relationship between them is clearly explained.
It's not the perfect ending, but it's a good one. Of course, we have higher expectations for looking, but fortunately looking is over, andrew haigh is still there.
