"Phantom Light", as Hirokazu Ededa's debut film, established the style of all his subsequent films. Watching his movies, it seems that you have experienced the same life with the characters in it, and you can feel the real beautiful healing in the ordinary, and there is also a deep sting.
Life, will this proposition have an answer? After watching Hirokazu-eda's movie, you will know that life is accompanied by pain and healing, full of impermanence and day after day, and the answer to life needs to be found and released by yourself.
The music in Magic Light is Hou Hsiao-hsien's composer Chen Mingzhang. His songs are relatively cold and full of storytelling, and the transformation of the characters' moods in Phantom Light has a very amazing feeling.
Phantom Light's photography composition idea is also very good. Because the girl can't let go of her heart, she didn't keep her grandmother who was going to run away from home during her childhood, and then she lost the experience of her lover who committed suicide for no reason, so her whole state in the movie is very closed and introverted, and it hurts. He also kept his head down. Therefore, there are many frame diagrams in the movie, and there is a feeling of the heroine being beaten in space. Often it is very dark all around, with a bright spot in the middle, maybe a tunnel, maybe a window or a door.
There are also a lot of silhouette or silhouette effects in the light, which is very good in expressing the emotions of the characters.
People who like Hirokazu Kore-eda's films should not miss each one. In particular, every one of the trees and Xilin that starts from the back is a classic~ The Phantom Light as the debut work is already very good!
