1. Look directly at the screen and speak to the audience (at 26:00, the person in the play realizes that they are acting, and also makes the audience realize that breaking the frame is only virtual, we are just reproducing the scene at that time
2. Insert Comment (27:00)
3. Foreshadowing the ending, let the audience lose their expectations (let them make the first business)
In fact, I don't think that the ending is announced in advance. The audience will be curious about how it was done Yes . That is to say, this only tells the audience WHY, and the audience HOW is more attractive
4. Placards (30:20 explanation of the hierarchy)
5. Continue to look directly at the screen and speak to the audience (Chinese student Yang)
6. The chef speaks directly to the audience Audience explains what CDO is (34:00) 7, 38:00
placard cursor explains SDO protocol
8, and a ubiquitous narrator, commentator 9,
40:00 keeps subverting the known story structure, The screenwriter creates a story, but there are parts that are false and true. The characters jump out and tell you that this part is not in line with the real situation. Article 5 is the same
. 10. Structure! Scatter perspective structure! 11.
The use of alienation effects is most suitable for abstract texts (such as society, class, politics, etc. This theme of "The Big Short" - the economic collapse of 2008 is very suitable). Eisenstein used Marx's "Das Kapital" was put on the screen, and the abstract things like "Das Kapital" are also similar to "The Big Short", which is suitable for Brecht's V-Effekt.
12. The defect of alienation - the alienation must be moderate, and the whole must be guaranteed. The unity and integrity of the dramatic scene (movie), Blow said, and the aesthetic expectation pulls the audience back and forth -- the reason for the failure of "The Golden Age" (Zhou Xian)
13. In fact, the whole movie uses a lot of isolation (subtitles, signage, terminology, looking directly at the screen, speaking to the audience) - but it's still intensely dramatic, and people are still excited about where the plot goes, Even if the outcome we already know - the 2008 economic collapse. How do suspense expectations form? Because we care about the fate of specific characters, not the whole big ending.
14. Resonance (Einfühlung) is the foundation of the whole drama, and distance (Verfremdungseffekt) can only be necessary to cooperate.
15. The theme of the big short is suitable for Brecht's narrative drama and alienation effect, which keeps the audience awake and does not get caught in the plot, prompts the audience to think, and is used for the hypocrisy and fraud of Wall Street financial industry, credit rating agencies, etc. criticism. It is hard to prosper the people, and it is hard to perish the people. Even if the economy collapses, those financial executives will still live well, and only ordinary people will be displaced.
16. The narrator is always there.
This year's Oscars should really go to this film - the perfect practice of the Brecht alienation effect in the film!
