    What is the "rhythm" of a movie? Interpretation of the fast-paced styles of "Good Times" and "Uncut Diamonds"

    Audio-visual language, you come and translate for me what is "rhythm"!

    We often hear the word "rhythm" in movie reviews. It seems to be some kind of "high-end vocabulary", and it's a class of words. This is actually because the concept of "rhythm" in the film is relatively abstract, with multiple defining angles, and it is difficult to...

    Loneliness is a disease

    What kind of loneliness that is. There is an 8-year-old girl in Australia. She has a father who would rather study a group of "dead chickens" than spend more time with her, and a mother who smokes and drinks all day and often goes to the supermarket. She was mocked and bullied by her classmates because of the birthmark on her face. , she was accompanied by a chicken that her father picked up all day long. He has a crush on the neighbor boy, but never dared to confess. Gradually grow up, and...

    On Domestic Movies

    I personally like Strange Tales from Liaozhai very much, and every story in it can be said to be a masterpiece, perhaps because he was influenced by his father since he was a child, his old man liked this one of the four works very much. After watching this movie, although I still hope to continue shooting, I have to say that some domestic movies have a common problem. Even if the stunt is big enough, it can be considered as acting. Ignoring the big but not refined, only the skeleton lacks...

    Lyrical sketches

    A lyrical essay, with a soothing rhythm, clean and neat, without fancy, is not the plot of the story, in fact it is about life. Not everyone will like it, but I like it. The reason is simple, I have seen myself in the past. The big boy with the green marching bag, running around, bumping and bumping in a foreign country, decorating his life with a certain dream, venting his dissatisfaction with life with a melancholy face, just don't want to go back to the small town Home, because there you...

    When the heart is swallowed by desire, only love and hope can save the world

    2020 is the fabled Year of the Rat in the legend. As expected, just after the Lunar New Year, the new crown pneumonia began to spread around the world. Today, more than 70 million people have been diagnosed worldwide, and more than 100 million people have been diagnosed in the powerful United States alone. More than 17 million people have been infected. In addition to the terrible epidemic, there have been sad news throughout the year. Sports superstars Kobe Bryant and Maradona...

    The soul is more than 21 grams

    A few minutes after the opening, I saw the shadow of "Pulp Fiction", and I read it with the feeling of "seeing what this film is about".
    The person who impressed me the most was not Sean Penn, nor Naomi Watts, but Benicio de Toro. He caught my eye as soon as he appeared, because he looked familiar. Definitely saw him. Always thought he looked like John Travolta and Brad Pitt.
    Maybe in the movie, his soul is not only 21 grams, but 22 grams (ps my favorite number is 22, including 2, 22,...

    Pagans are always a confidant

    Many people have heard of a movie called "Confederate States of America", CSA: The Confederate States of America. This aerial history film, filmed in 2004, takes the form of a virtual documentary to record such a history. If the American Civil War was won by the American South and the slavery system was preserved, what about the subsequent 150 years of American history? So USA became CSA. The film critic tells this fictional history from the perspective of a British television station....

    Soul Journey

    Giamatti removes his soul → implants the soul of the Russian poet → retrieves his soul. The most precious thing in this process should be that he finally accepts his soul. Going around, it is the best original. At first, he didn't dare to see what the soul looked like. Later, in order to re-accept his soul, he saw it, and accepted it, and was moved.
      Sometimes, you will be dissatisfied with yourself, feel irritable, and complain, but when you accept yourself and accept yourself completely...

    Black but reasonable

    It's a simple and absurd story, but it's worth remembering. Worthy of being an Oscar nominated work.

    Pretending to be a pastor is said to be very common in Poland, but the director’s creation from a juvenile delinquent on parole to become the spiritual leader of hundreds of villagers. Of course, there are discussions about the transformation of people, such as the effect of clothing and circumstances on people's character and behavior; there are also ironies...

    classic

    The first Hong Kong Lunar New Year movie introduced to the mainland at that time seemed to be a big investment, with a grand scene, and a complete Jackie Chan style. It was also a milestone for Jackie Chan to enter Hollywood.
       I was impressed that Jackie Chan jumped directly from the roof to the window sill when he was chased by the gangsters. He rushed into the waves behind the motorboat for so long, and was directly pressed down by the motorboat. He didn’t even use any special effects....

If the story ends here, then Sudan's life should be considered perfect, but the story It’s not over here, because Sultan is eager to win. The more important reason is that the flowers and applause he got before are all because he got it by wrestling. According to previous successful experience: he only needs to continue to succeed in the field of wrestling. , He can...

    Deep sea fear

    The monologue of Little K at the beginning of the film was so decadent that I thought she was living here alone for the rest of my life. Except for the brighter lights, it was no different from sending the two to the rescue cabin and sitting down alone to wait for death. To be regarded as echoing from the beginning to the end.

    This kind of film cannot escape the routine. It is a team of people who go from one place to another in order to survive. In...

    A blockbuster commercial that boosts the U.S. economy

    A reinterpretation of the myth, adding major brand logos. . . The Americans not only regard themselves as the center of the world and move the gods from Greece to their homes, but they also added various American elements even more powerfully than the Spring Festival Gala. The audience was forced to watch the big commercial for nearly two hours. . .

    Starting from x-box, Converse, lotus casino, and a certain cola, the protagonists went around in the United States and turned on major...

    Moonriver

    In fact, I didn't really want to watch a master's movie before. Xu was shocked by the recent toss between Lao Zhang and Lao Chen.
    But in order to hear the children's version of Moonriver, I opened the cover of the disc without hesitation.
    To be honest, I almost couldn't hold on at first, because Teacher Almodova was a homosexual, although I had heard about it a long time ago, but-after all, I am not too cold about this subject matter.
    I expected this movie to also play black...

    Just Like Heaven

    Well, romantic light comedy.
     
    The subject is the old-fashioned human and ghost sentiment. It seems that there are already many such films. The classic one is "Human and Ghost Love Is Not Over" (the classic shot is two people making clay pots together), and the handsome version is "The Sixth Sense of Life and Death" (the sex shot in it is very beautiful and not Exposed, very touching), the traversal version of "Through Time and Space Falling in Love with You" (although the...

    A lot of interesting details, such as Jacques Tati's appearance while waiting for the subway, the huge poster of John Ford on the wall of the theater, etc. However, each segment is just passing by like a dragonfly, this is ordinary life, and there is not much lingering. "You are really my sister, my daughter, my mother." "I just want to be your wife."

    I really liked the narrative style of the first half, looking at Grace seemed to see herself. . . The reversal in the second half was unexpected, but the rhythm suddenly stalled and became too fast. It would be better if some emotional scenes were removed a little and more court trials were added. 2021/3/29 The Omori family

    Seeing a mortuary on Qingming Festival is really the best death education? Liu Nan's father finally saw his son seriously. The husband thanked the mortuary for letting his wife leave in the most beautiful way. The small stone fell from my father's stiff hand... The ritual farewell made the family finally reach some kind of reconciliation at that moment. The slightest bit of blank space in the soundtrack makes the family and the audience immerse in the farewell at that moment. When we let go of our distracting thoughts and only live in that moment, we finally see the real each other. We came to this world with no choice and always longed to be seen and understood by others. I have also done a lot of things that are misunderstood by the world, but I am too lazy to justify it until I die. It is lucky and satisfied that my sincerity is finally seen for a moment.

    My world is colored because of you. For you I am willing to fall into the mortal world as an angel with broken wings. It's actually a non-Hollywood version of the City of Angels. WimWenders is like a movie made by Ingmar Bergman that is high-end and confusing. German cinema may indeed lack artistry. It feels boring with or without dialogue.

  • Laurence 2023-07-13 18:32:20

    A decent Acura movie, the same theme is better played by Americans. What is interesting is the ideological issue. The Americans exclaimed "one small step for mankind, one giant leap for mankind" when they landed on the moon, while the Soviets shouted "It is my honor to serve the Soviet Union". However, the Soviet Union and the United States still cooperated on some projects later, and it is true that each other's aerospace technology cannot be separated from anyone.

    The story of Wayne's heroic journey through the United States. Dressed in the cloak of violence, to put it bluntly, it is still youthful confusion and growth. It's still very different from "Fuck the World". I want to say that every time the young heroes fight for justice, they fall from the sky, which is very cool.

  • Laurence 2023-06-08 07:33:03

    The film is a bit dull and emotionally dark. I was particularly touched by watching this film shortly after Wang Moujun and Wang Fengbo of the Southwest. I don't know when we will be able to make such a film.
