Impressions: The unity of democratic connotation and democratic form

I've seen the work behind Larsvon before, and it's different from the early Doug Code 95, so this is the first one I've watched completely. ps Dougma's resources are really hard to find, either they are sparse, dead seeds, or they don't have subtitles.

Generally speaking, it is not the same as I imagined. The paper is so superficial, and I realized that the drama is very tense after reading it. Although the technique is documentary, the plot is hard-core enough.

Some commented that this plot is clichéd, which is okay for me. I was more impressed with the first episode of Secret No. 9, and the content of the story was similar, but the structure was much worse, and the family banquet was a bit more advanced. In Number Nine, this core story is presented as a spectacle story that makes people think about it, and satisfies the audience's voyeuristic desire for family Mixin. When the truth is exposed, the story comes to an abrupt end, and the audience is more speculative. The psychology of the victim, recalling the satisfaction brought about by this shock.

The family banquet is even higher. As a social animal, in a complicated banquet, everyone’s motivations and psychology are developed very clearly and naturally, so that besides the victims, there are other plump characters.

A father with a human face and a beastly heart, even if his evil deeds are exposed in front of everyone, he can still keep his face and try to persuade and coax his son. After several exposures, his reaction is a progressive relationship, and everyone's reaction can also tell his behavior. The indestructible characteristics of a big capitalist and patriarchal image.

The image of the youngest daughter is okay. You can imagine her whole arc completion process, from silence to vocalization, she still has the essence of kindness.

What's more interesting is the image of the youngest son, from fiercely defending the honor of the family, that is, his father, to beating his father all over the floor for teeth, shallowly speaking, he is considered justice, but I think he is deeply affected by the patriarchy. The representative of tame, the greater motivation for beating his father is the psychological stimulation brought to him by the collapse of the image of his father in his heart. It can be imagined that his life and thoughts are shaped by his father's power. How much is he The child who relied on his father the most, he has repeatedly exaggerated his irritability and humility before. To some extent, he should have the tendency of Electra or full of worship. When he began to know the true moral quality of his father At that time he didn't believe it, and when he believed it, it began to collapse, which was a kind of self-destruction for him to some extent. But on the other hand, after his father collapsed, he was finally able to establish his own true patriarchal image, and he was completely new at breakfast. (And he looks like Guo Jingfei)

Mother is also more interesting. On the one hand, she was suppressed by her father and was a vassal, on the other hand, she was an accomplice, which was a malformed product under the unequal rights of men and women. It’s actually a bit miserable to watch my father being kicked off the table by his youngest son. I was thinking at the time that the big villain had been defeated and admitted to his mistake, but the far-reaching impact of its persecution is irreversible, not just the victim’s injury. There is also the psychological deformity caused to his wife, which is more lasting than him.

In addition, this documentary shooting method is also loved, the rhythmic shots and rhythmic editing are actually very delicate. The most amazing thing is this picture quality. The level of rubbish of this picture quality makes people feel a sense of alienation. It truly feels that this is not a movie, but it is truly like a film made by yourself. In turn, it is a movie. Essentially, movies cannot be regulated by high-definition lenses. DVDs are the most democratic carrier, and there is nothing wrong with it. Therefore, combined with the main content of the story, the eldest son tried several times to overthrow his father's democratic struggle, and the form and content were the same.
