If you have seen the life of the disgusted Matsuko before, when you see this story of the next wife, even if you don't know it is the work of Tetsuya Nakajima, I think you can probably guess that this is the same as "Matsuko". Made by a director. Including "Confession", Tetsuya Nakajima's three works have almost the same directing style, the strong visual contrast, the use of music and color are incompatible with the narrative tone of the film. Regardless of the plot structure of the film, this way of expression first makes the film impressive in performance. In several films, "The Story of the Wife" may not have such a strong contrast in feeling, at least in the process of watching the film. , in the contrast of the plot of the picture, there will be no obvious sense of disobedience; and "Songzi", purely from a visual point of view, is really like a fairy tale that warms the whole picture, and "confession" is in the In some respects, it looks like a youthful MV, but anyone who has seen the content of the film knows that what it wants to express in it is extremely opposite to this way of expression, and this strong contrast will almost change from When you know the tone of the film's plot, you can't breathe. This kind of narrative method can really add points to the film, and such works generally do not attract much bad reviews, because it can already become a major highlight of the film. So I thought, maybe Tetsu Nakajima also tasted the sweetness in the story of the next wife, so he deliberately strengthened and highlighted this way of expression in his future works. Of course, judging from the two movies "Pine Nuts" and "Confession", he undoubtedly did a very successful job.
Uncle Nakajima seems to be about to evolve into a visual artist. You must know that high sensitivity, high saturation, and warm tones that fill the entire picture, these colors that strongly stimulate the eyeballs, if you don’t pay attention to them, you may get the name of abusing colors on your back. However, in the two films, "The Story of My Wife" and "Pine Nuts", which are based on the use of high-saturated warm tones, there is no inconsistency. Each movie screenshot seems to be able to be preserved as a very good painting. . In the confession, Tetsuya Nakajima looks more like a photographer, and each still looks like a photographic work with exquisite composition and profound meaning. Even with the sound turned off, these movies all looked like a treat (of course, the BGM and sound effects are also very good components of the movie, and it would be a big pity not to listen to it).
In short, Nakajima-san's films are really impressive. This frame-based picture sensitivity makes people feel that the film seems to be a bold innovation by a cutting-edge director in the way of film expression, rather than a long-term film. Creation of an old middle-aged man with a white beard. Tetsuya Nakajima is a big non-mainstream!
PS
When it comes to tone, I always feel that this seems to be a big gap between domestic TV and film works and foreign masterpieces. Take Japan as an example. Japanese movies are very accurate and excellent in terms of color tones. I think they are not simply distinguished by cold and warm tones, but by hue to locate the picture, such as cherry red, cold light blue, etc. . And if the appearance and appearance of the actors can be distinguished by color, there is no doubt that their casting and makeup can match the whole picture, or simply serve the picture. It seems that Chinese directors have always wanted to work hard on the plot or scenes, but as an ordinary audience, I think the overall beauty of the picture is also an important reason for me to buy a ticket and enter the theater. Big scenes and big productions can’t scare me, and they are harmonious and comfortable. The beauty of color may seem more valuable, which may indicate that the director has begun to care about the audience's perception, rather than blindly showing skills. In fact, after all, maybe I just want to see a Chinese director can make a Chinese school idol drama with a youthful tone, rather than those bad copycat movies.
