"Terrorist"
"The Terrorist" is an art film created by Yang Dechang in 1984. The film is inspired by the real experience of actor Wang An. This experience is also the story of Shu'an's phone call in the movie. It must be more avant-garde in terms of the various techniques used in the film, which are often reproduced in our new era films. The core of the film actually gave me a feeling of "Joker". The artistic value of the film can be said to be very high. high.
(Reality and Dreams, Accidents in Life)
At the beginning, the movie "Terrorist" brought us a feeling that the peaceful life was broken. There was a shooting incident in the alleys that the audience could see everywhere. The shooting of this section was also completely connected with Yu Fen. The prank call to Shu'an is a stark contrast.
The city is as quiet as death, and the home of the male protagonist Lizhong and Yu Fen is the same, implying their marriage relationship. Yu Fen and Lizhong actually don't know each other's world. Their home seems to be neat, but in fact there is a strong negative feeling, and this negative feeling is accompanied by loneliness and depression. In movies, two people are often deliberately divided on the same shot. Lizhong really wants to get back with his wife, but she doesn't even know what her novel is about. His wife always wants to have a new beginning, but she doesn't know about her husband's private efforts and when he falls into darkness.
The role of Li Lizhong corresponds to all the depressed people in the city, and the blows finally broke all the straws in his heart. In the end, Li Lizhong wanted to kill everyone in his heart, but out of his own courage, he still died like a dog. In the end, he still expressed the character's heart. He didn't dare to use force to accuse the world, he could only use a humble way way to sue the world. There is a terrorist in everyone's heart.
The photographer is a bystander, the little sister is the intruder, and the husband and wife are the experiencers. It seems that little sister Shu'an is the original sin at the root of everything, but in fact, she is like a needle, piercing the thin piece of paper between the husband and wife, even if she is not allowed to pierce it, tearing that piece over time. Tissue paper sooner or later also breaks.
Although the characters in the film have different positions and identities, the director still uses many ways to make them cross each other, such as meeting in the car, taking pictures secretly, narration and subjective perspectives. .
The film ends with an open ending, a choice between dream and reality. Killing everyone and yourself is actually a dream, and the real ending mainly depends on how you distinguish the dream and reality in your heart.
(35 years ago, Yang Dechang had already filmed a peak that is difficult to touch in the film industry today, and the classics will never fall)
When it comes to Yang Dechang, perhaps everyone will only think of "Yiyi" and "Guling Street". To be honest, "Terrorist" is definitely not as good as "Yiyi" compared with "Yiyi", and "Yiyi" is also easier to be read. The public accepts it, but the significance of "Terrorist" to the art of film can be equal to "Yiyi" in my mind.
Many of the techniques in the movie "The Terrorist" appear in many of our films today, such as the storyboards, the use of mirrors, the sound of kettles, film montages, the use of light, and screen segmentation. It can be said that they are the originators of many movies.
The charm of Yang Dechang is in every one of his films, "The Terrorist" shows the depression in people's hearts vividly. Maybe there is a terrorist in everyone's heart, but not everyone is a clown.
Movies 35 years ago can be made so amazing. The movie techniques in "The Terrorist" are really familiar to movie lovers like us, and they also moved us very much. I know how many years it will take to dig it out. Although the current film practitioners have used the previous film techniques to shoot a lot of excellent film works, they have not seen extraordinary transcendence, but I believe that day will come.
In addition, the ending of "The Terrorist" is one of the top three movies in my heart for me. After so many years, I rarely feel the impact of the ending of this kind of movie.
"Terrorist" has the status and achievements it should have in the Chinese film history! Thank you movies for tripling our lives.
