Watching a literary film requires patience
. The minimum standard for a literary film is: it is impressive and has many aftertastes.
This is a film that won the Golden Leopard Award and the Best Actor Award at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland.
A film Either the plot is ups and downs, or the emotional rendering is straight to the heart, or it highlights the person's distinctive character, or the stunt is top-notch and the picture quality is excellent, and there is a kind of film that does not side with these elements
. Wrong" I read the title of the film, it should be that the drama of affliction and love did not run. I thought so at the beginning. The
film has a total of two hours, and the content of the first hour and the second hour is almost the same. In other words, The last 60 minutes are a reshoot of the first 60 minutes. There are some changes in the details of the lines. Like the two directions, it means different endings. This structural framework shows that the director intends to discuss the next step of every second in real life. How many changes will there be in seconds, and what will it become, and how different people meet, get along, separate or stay together, depends on the different decisions of the arrangement and combination that each second represents at this time or at that time...
First An hour: The male protagonist Zheng Jae-young and the female protagonist Kim Min-hee met in the corridor of the Funaitang. It was very clean and was a place that both of them liked. They could be used to pass the time. One person became two people in this way. One is the director of an independent film, who is famous but unwilling, and the other is a painter, but he has not been known by the industry. The two began to introduce each other politely. Similar to the first round of interviews, the next scene was moved to a cafe. After knowing the other party's living conditions and a little bit of inner thoughts, he is still very polite, his tone has always been raised an octave, a bit pretentious, the next scene is moved to the female painter's studio, and the male protagonist tries his best to praise the reality of the female protagonist in a literary tone. Abstract painting: "Extremely innocence can only be painted by a very pure soul" This kind of flattery really can only come from the mouth of the director of a literary film! The next scene was moved to a restaurant in the evening. The two of them drank a lot, and they were both slightly drunk. The atmosphere between the man and the woman was ambiguous when they said anything casually. In fact, from the beginning, despite being polite and awkward, the relationship between the two began. However, the atmosphere of ambiguity has always been entangled, a tentative ambiguity that only exists between mature men and women, and the ambiguity that can only be felt by moviegoers with certain experience. Got a 19 ban,
Then, at the painter's friend, the director came to the bottom: he was actually married...
The next day, at the film festival's release site, faced with a sparse audience and the host of "too thick-skinned, I don't know anything" , Jung Jae-young expressed his dissatisfaction with a few words with absolutely excellent lines and skills, and returned to Seoul with anger at the host who was really out of tune... The lonely back of the bitter director led to the subtitles of the movie, and began the repetition of the first Twice for the second hour: The first half is almost the same repetition. If you are not careful, you can't see any difference, but the style and tone of the two people's speech have been changed to plain, and the style of painting is closer to love. The prelude, until the scene was moved to the studio again, this time the male protagonist said the truth: "Your painting shows your loneliness and needs to be comforted", which annoyed the female painter and caused unpleasant contradictions, but this added two The seriousness of people's inner drama made it closer. Continuing the restaurant scene at night, Zheng Zaiyong confessed the truth of his marriage, choked up and said that he loved her, wanted to marry her, and even put on a female painter. The ring...
went on to say: I'm going back to Seoul the next day... It's
not close to reality to play like this, seeing this, I don't know why, I laughed, it's a bit funny
At the end of this time, the heroine came to the film festival scene, come Watching the director's movie, and the director still returned to Seoul, they were all excited, and it snowed heavily. The frequent visitors of the major film festivals are trying to test the label-style structure model. It can be shot in this way or in that way. The audience practice patience, and the judges like to innovate (this model is not the first), but this film still has A few details that cannot be ignored:
※ The title of the film appeared three times before and after, and it was written by the director himself. The subtitles are all handwritten, giving people a very personal feeling of a diary.
※The title of the film can be changed to "This Time Wrong That Shi Du, originally playing Tai Chi
※ Fu Nei Tang, Buddha statues, temple bells, branches of dead trees in winter, these symbolic symbols appear repeatedly
※ bgm is very short, only a few seconds, each time two people It appears when there is substantial progress in the relationship, and it is the style of the pipe organ in the pure holy church
※ Long shots from start to finish, very long long shots, sometimes, a scene is moved to another scene to change the lens, and a large proportion are shot with fixed shots, rarely followed by shots, and there is almost no light change
※ Only one camera was used in this film!
With the filming method of repeating the content for an hour before and after, the structure presented in this film and the careful arrangement of how to tell the story are really impressive!
And I thought the heroine was better than the male lead. The
film was covered with so many layers of plain clothes. The theme was actually: different ways of talking about extramarital affairs.
