Filmed by Ryazanov in the 1970s and 1980s, "A Mockery of Fate", "The Office Story" and "A Station for Two" were hailed as "exciting love trilogy" by Soviet audiences.
Ryazanov's comedy films have a unique artistic style:
First, he has a keen sense of society, and combines the techniques of various styles of films into his own comedy films, becoming an organic part of the film. He broke the form of pure comedy and formed a style of tragicomedy, quite like Chaplin's "tearful smile", which made people think through laughter. In "The Mock of Fate", this love story slightly mocks the stereotype of urban construction and unfolds in the form of an indoor drama. Although there are few scenes, the main story takes place in the heroine Naja's house, but it does not It feels monotonous and boring; the changes in the relationship between the protagonists are interesting, engaging, and the dialogue is witty and humorous.
Second, there is a delicate portrayal of human nature, and the characters are often alienated. For example, in "A Station for Two", Vera, who was bitter and mean in the restaurant at the beginning, later found out that she was a kind and upright Vera who was abandoned by her husband to raise her children alone. "Forgive me, the ghost told me to haunt you for that ruble. In such a ghost place, after a day's work, your heart is as ruthless as a wild beast. When others are cruel to you, you are also fierce to others. It’s a lie. It doesn’t look like a human anymore, I really don’t know what it looks like.” If you take a closer look at Vera’s words, readers will be carrying a heavy burden of life for this, kind and sincere, unfortunate But a woman who longs for happiness feels bitter. She needs caressing, she needs caring.
The third is that the hypothetical nature of the film is closely related to the real social life environment. For example, the story that happened through the office of the office in "The Story of the Office" suggests that there are several phenomena in the Soviet society. The image of the female director portrayed in the film is very real and credible, and her character development is in line with the logic of life.
In "A Station for Two", Ryazanov explores the complex coexistence of factors such as good and evil deep in people's hearts and the contradictions between them in a tragicomedy way. Starting from the basis of the authenticity and credibility of the characters, using comedy elements such as contingency and coincidence in life, it reflects various relationships in life, as well as issues such as morality, society and daily life. The film adopts the narrative structure of flashbacks and interludes, and integrates the sad and happy love story into the typical environment of the station and interprets it, which profoundly reveals that love can give people new hope and strength in the most complicated and even tragic living environment. . The multiple appearances of the simultaneous sound and the theme music in the plot constitute the continuity of the plot development of the whole film, reaching a heart-pumping and touching strength, with the director's careful scheduling and genius editing, as well as the delicate and moving hero and heroine. Under the convincing interpretation, the whole film is natural and has a huge artistic charm!
The film starts with the picture of the male protagonist serving his sentence in prison. When he learns that his wife resists when he comes to visit him, it also arouses the doubts of the audience. The male protagonist is on his way to leave the prison and go to the village to see his wife. He has a long view to shoot the male protagonist rushing in the snow. He walks peacefully in the snow alone, which also reflects the male protagonist's heart from the perspective of the picture. , lonely and hopeless. At the end of the film, it is also walking in the snow, the difference is that the hero and heroine are together, they support each other and run forward in the sun. In the last scene, along with the sound of the male protagonist's accordion, a quick camera pulls the audience away from the characters. On the pure and pure white snow, the male and female protagonists support each other back to back, with the golden morning sun above their heads, forming a triangle. The composition gives a sense of stability. The snow and the rising sun reflect each other, and the rising sun represents the hopes and expectations for life that have been kindled in the hearts of the hero and heroine. This scene can't help but bring tears to my eyes, it's very touching. The train of life is too fast. Two people who warm and support each other warm each of us with their love.
The love trilogy created by Ryazanov all express the love of middle-aged people. He wished lonely middle-aged men and women a good love with kind wishes. He is good at discovering and refining representative problems from ordinary daily life and even trivial details, making a high-level summary, and using rich and unique artistic techniques to reflect them to the masses through films. The language of the film is witty, concise, and meaningful.
Ryazanov is worthy of being a realist comedy master.
