Global Movie Emperor

While Lu Ze and Mickey were discussing this matter, Lu Bo, who was visiting London, also encountered some problems. However, perhaps these emergencies turned out to be an unexpected surprise for him.

"It's really scary, husband. Why don't we contact the travel agency and go to other countries quickly? We can't stay in the UK now."

"Where to go? Which country doesn't have demonstrations now? Can you guarantee that you won't encounter this kind of thing when you go to other countries? Unless you go to Northern Europe to hide, but didn't we just come back from Northern Europe?"

"What kind of movie do you think Lu Ze should be in? He has to be in this crappy thing? The current commotion has made people panic, and he can't even play well. Is it easy for me to take a long vacation?"

"What does it have to do with Lu Ze? They are marching because of someone else's demands. Is it wrong that they need to get things for themselves? Speaking of movies, you also value the influence of movies too much. I have never heard of any movie because of it. Got it to fight.”

Today's news was being played on the TV. A group of demonstrators blocked traffic on the roadside and took pictures of passing pedestrians' car windows. This really frightened many people, including Mr. and Mrs. Lupo.

His wife looked at the TV and recalled the scene with fear on her face. However, Lu Bo's mind was not here. Instead, he lay on the bed, shaking his head and flicking through the gun version of "Afterlife" released in South Korea. Sometimes he would go back and watch some Details, sometimes writing and drawing in the notebook.

"Daughter-in-law! Are you still going out to play?"

"Are you teasing me here? Can you please stop farting? Go out and let someone pat the car window?"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, then let me write something."

The hotel the two booked had a study room. Lu Bo temporarily calmed his unhappy wife and asked her to go back to bed and rest, promising to run back if she had a nightmare. Then he entered the study room with his laptop and turned it on, saving many files of film reviews. I created a new document in the folder, closed the curtains, turned back to the first page of my notes, and started writing after a little thought.

"The Shackles that Bind Us" movie review, contains some spoilers, please bear with me. 》

"I was in London, and it happened to be the premiere of Lu Ze's new movie. As a die-hard fan of Lu Ze, I naturally went to support it. Fortunately, my English skills were not bad, and there was no difficulty in understanding. After watching it six times in the theater, I got a few more After a few hours of filming, I dare to talk to you about this dark drama film "The Past" directed by Mickey Taylor."

"Tao Mickey, I have to say that he is somewhat similar to Zhuang Yu, but his films are more extreme. The way the camera expresses is more indifferent to bystanders than Zhuang Yu's style, while Zhuang Yu's camera language is more It focuses more on emotion, so watching Zhuang Yu’s movies will easily open the floodgates to tears, while watching Mickey’s movies will not make you cry easily, but the chilling feeling of despair will permeate your surroundings all the time.”

"Zhuang Yu's works often feature characters with a strong sense of humanity, which are the so-called human characters. They are compassionate and kind-hearted. Generally speaking, these characters are the incarnations of Zhuang Yu himself in his works. But Mickey is different. In his movies, the characters are mechanized and perform their own duties. They only serve as the turning point required by each plot. Compared with Zhuang Yu's human characters, the characters created by Mickey are more like real people. , neither purely good nor purely evil.”

"Is the mechanization of characters his shortcoming? No, it is his advantage. This is also the biggest difference compared with Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu tells the story from the second person to the third person. As the audience, we We are just bystanders, and he only allows us to be bystanders."

"So the most powerful skill is that when we watch, it has no effect and can only watch from the sidelines. And these characters are doing the right things at the right time. There are no accidents and no second possibility. They After the encounter, it will only produce this kind of result that we have expected but have never sighed. Apart from this, there is no other choice. Only a director who has a thorough understanding of human nature can make this kind of movie."

"As a film critic, if I were to evaluate Mickey, I think his creative ability is top-notch, his rhythm control is top-notch, his camera language is first-rate, and his color cues are third-rate. To say that he is perfect would be a bit nonsense. After all, he is not a god. His experience is not that sophisticated, but his films are personal works that only cater to a small audience, so they make up for his shortcomings to a certain extent,"

"He has shortcomings, so he needs someone to help him fill this gap, so the Russian brothers came, as ruthless people who went deep into the no-man's land of Siberia to shoot documentary short films, fighting against wolves, bears, and nature. One of them is A top photographer, a former painter, who is extremely sensitive to color and has an excellent command of lens language, has become the best rocket fuel, helping Mickey to soar into the sky. I have also paid attention to them after winning the award in Cannes before. Unexpectedly In a few years, we will be reunited with Mickey and Lu Ze, which is also a scene I like to see."

"My sense of color is also insufficient, so I am not sensitive to the psychological implications of various settings, so the details in this area have to be analyzed by other experts, but in terms of lens language, first-person lens, first-person rotation One-person gaze shot, character reversal shot, cut-in shot, third-person shot, face-to-face shot cut into background shot, left and right space split shot, actor entering and exiting the frame shot, front and rear space split shot, panoramic shot, all played by Lucas, the eldest brother of the Russian brothers There are flowers. To this, I can only say, boss, let me kowtow to you. Just let me kneel. I am not used to getting up. The best photography in this year's award is not Lucas. I hang myself from the beam."

"In addition, I have to talk about the later editing. This kind of narrative story segmentation is much more difficult than the ordinary narrative technique of three-segment editing of beginning, climax, and end. It is very difficult to switch between various scenes smoothly, and It is also necessary to ensure that the connection of the plot will not be abrupt, so the main creative staff chose to switch the timeline by various means such as changing scenes with objects, changing scenes with color, changing scenes with people, and changing scenes with sound, so that the audience can watch a little bit. There are no obstacles, and you can easily understand where the timeline has gone. Alas, let me give you another thumbs up."

"I don't have high-definition pictures of the specific scene transitions at the moment. When high-definition resources come out online, I will take screenshots and create a new post to discuss with you without spoiling too much."

"Then let's talk about the actors. Well, there's nothing to say. Kamiya's performance is quite satisfactory, and the level is here. It's not bad. As for Lu Ze... I don't want to describe too much how powerful a monster is, lest I say I'm borrowing I wrote "Past Life" and played "Women's Federation", although "Women's Federation 6" is indeed very good..."

“Finally, let’s talk about Jason as an actor. He has great emotions. It can be seen that he has worked very hard on the script. However, if he shows too much emotion, it is easy to use too much force. In some scenes, it did cause me a little bit of discomfort. , but he is only seventeen years old, I can completely understand, and I can only wish him success in his acting career."

"Then! We officially started to talk about the plot. In order to avoid spoilers, I will only talk about a few points. I will not go into details about what the characters have experienced, but the final result must be mentioned. After all, this is what we discussed. If there is any Friends who mind, it’s enough for you to see it here. Just come back and read the analysis after watching the gun version. I love you.”

"First of all, let me talk about the plot that I have experienced recently. The timeline of the Jason Generation is completely gloomy, and the sunlight is blocked by tall buildings. First, the color hints at the fate of the characters and becomes the color that represents the world. This is very simple, but it is even simpler. But the fatal thing is that, like the United Kingdom, there is no right to light! There is no right in the real world! You can overlook the center of London or New York, and the buildings are basically next to each other. You rarely see the sun in a day, let alone The movie world has an explosion of population. Currently, the hotel room I live in cannot see sunlight all year round. This is also what the recent marchers are fighting for. On this point, I fully support them, because only with sunlight can we have human rights. .”

"Secondly, what I care about most is work. The movie depicts a world of longevity. I can't imagine that I have to be scolded by the same leader for decades or even hundreds of years. If it were me, really If you can’t stand it, there will be no room for promotion for a long time, and the social hierarchy is very strict, so just start with Pattinger teaching Parker, and then Parker teaching Charles, this is the best way to crush people at the official level.”

"And there are countless people who want to replace you. You have to carefully control your words and actions. There are a lot of them. Everyone knows this, and it is easy to understand in the movie, so I won't explain too much."

"When talking about family, Parker wanted to protect his family, but failed. At the end, there were many people like him who also failed to protect their families, resulting in the streets being filled with unemployed people and homeless people. The breakdown of a family is It is a personal misfortune, but the breakdown of many families is worthy of social reflection, and this once again reflects the reality. The number of homeless people in the city center and on the beach at night is terrifying. I think Mickey is also famous for this. Express dissatisfaction with the real society.”

"The extreme thoughts of Mickey style are here, bringing us the ultimate thinking, what is family? What are children? Combined with what is said in the trailer, family warms us with false emotions, and love is expressed more than once in the movie Children are born out of a sense of responsibility rather than blood ties, and they are afraid that the death of their children will cause them great financial losses. Therefore, in order for their children to grow up smoothly, they can only use false love to irrigate their children. Then, We will warm the family with real emotions, and gradually, with time, the sense of responsibility will transform into family affection. This is the true birth moment of a family."

"This is a very extreme thought, but I don't have any good way to refute it. I love my children, which must include a sense of responsibility. I must be responsible for my children. This is the truth taught by society to everyone. As for whether there is blood affection, I think there is, but I am already the father of a child, but I don’t feel that subtle blood affection, which is why I can’t refute it.”

"This may be related to Mickey's family. His father is British-Chinese. There were news reports that Mickey often quarreled with his father, even to the point of smashing things and throwing them from upstairs. The relationship between the two has not eased so far, and He had a daughter with his ex-girlfriend, but apart from providing her with living expenses, he had no long-term contact with her. Perhaps this is the origin of a low-desire society rather than a low-responsibility society, a self-deprecation from a low-responsibility father."

"As for Lisa, there is not much to say. The two have the most normal love relationship and the most normal relationship in the entire movie. This is particularly rare because he created a deformed concept of family love, but still has a deep understanding of love. With good expectations, it also reminded me that love needs to be maintained, and at the same time it cannot withstand big twists and turns. I will buy cosmetics for my wife later. If you need to purchase on behalf of me, please contact me."

"In the movie, Parker mentioned more than once that a father can only be a father and a son can only be a son. Apart from the relationship between father and son, there is no relationship between friends. This is obvious. He has also DISSed his father. After all, he once said it himself But when he was filming "The Effect", because he didn't agree with him to continue filming, he was kicked out of the apartment, along with Lu Ze... (suppressed laughter)."

"Thinking about it this way, his father not only maintained the majesty of a father in Chinese education, but also had the ruthlessness of Western education. After all, many Western parents would not leave a house to their children even if they had a house, but would sell it for enjoyment after retirement. In life, this has nothing to do with inheritance tax. Canada does not charge inheritance tax, and parents also do not leave inheritance to their children."

"So... in the movie, Chinese family love is pure and does not change for a foreign country. Come on, his father is in DISS. Of course, we can also understand his yearning for pure Chinese education or Western education. If you want to love, love without any shirking, and be selfish to the core. Maybe this is what Mickey thinks. Alas, I really don’t know what to say at this moment."

"In the next plot, Jason secretly hid a battery while playing racing. Combined with the changes in children when they grow up, it is also worth pondering. Children in aristocratic schools naturally develop kindness because of their high quality and high-quality living conditions. Jason because With limited family conditions, he steals things that others don't care about. At this moment, even if I don't look at Jason as a child, but understand him from the perspective of a criminal, I still feel sad for Jason."

"When there is a huge gap between economic ability and quality education, will we be complacent about picking up people's teeth? If the things we regard as treasures are toys that have been discarded casually, then what are we? So when Jason threw away the battery, I almost cheered, but when he left, I was speechless and choked. Because of this, we have lost even our treasures. Today, with the huge gap between rich and poor, these have become a reality. We still have dignity, and the poor have dignity. Poverty with dignity, as for struggle, can you see a way out in the movie?"

"The society in the movie ostensibly places four locks on people who want to commit suicide, the first family, the second health bracelet, the third huge fine, and the fourth eternal prison, but in the end there is a hidden lock. In the movie It's something that's always present in Mickey, and that's something that Mickey attacks in all of his movies."

"religion."

"Prayers after death are to meet in heaven, and suicides can only look up to heaven. When Father Mike prayed over Jason's body, he also said that he hoped to forgive Jason's sins and take him to heaven. This is imprisonment. The last hurdle of the desire to die, if you have no family, there are still three locks waiting for you, but if you want to die regardless, the only thing that can bring back your desire to live is faith."

"Why did Jason commit suicide? Because he was drunk. Seventy-eight percent of people who commit suicide drink alcohol or use other things to numb their nerves before committing suicide, so he escaped the four oncoming locks, and the fifth The locks can't hold him! Because he's not religious!"

"Why is Parker still alive? Because he believes..."

"Secondly, what induced his death? Firstly, his father's rotten reprimand. As a father, he accepted his fate because he was locked up, but Jason did not."

"Secondly, the future of his friends was ruined, and their numbness was visible to Jason, and he also understood at this moment that he could not change anything. One day in the future, he would be like his friends in prison. , becomes numb.”

"Third, world-weariness. When his hope was shattered, his parents did not give him guidance, he was ridiculed by students from aristocratic schools for not knowing his abilities, and he was beaten by classmates in the school. All these are enough reasons to be world-weary. Think about... those in reality Why did the children who committed suicide die?"

"Fourth, Jenny, it's not because her crush is a stripper, or because she had a child at the age of nineteen. On the contrary, his living conditions are better than Jenny's. He is envied by Jenny because he She has a dream, but she is stuck in the quagmire. Normally, Jenny should be the one who wants to die, but unfortunately, she is locked up at the age of nineteen. What is even more unfortunate is that she has a sense of responsibility."

"Then why was Jason the one who died? Because after suffering a huge blow, he was in front of a mature, sexy girl that he liked, who could satisfy all his sexual fantasies, especially when she unabashedly used pornographic programs , electric toys, and wearing sexy lingerie that was close to being completely naked, and even told him that you could eat forbidden fruit with him, and ended up doing it when he was already drunk!"

"He still chooses to be a good boy..."

"At this moment, he discovered his cowardice..."

"So he died, he died well and got what he wanted. As for what it will bring to his parents, do you still need to think about this in front of a cowardly, desperate, drunk person?"

"In the last plot, Jenny came to Jason's tombstone and called her child Jason. Is it because of love? I don't think so, because it is difficult for a girl to fall in love with a boy who is younger than her and very naive. Moreover, she has fallen into prostitution, singing and dancing all day long, and is willing to sacrifice her body in order to make money. Would such a girl fall in love with a naive boy? Even if she does, she still has a child. She envies Jason's family conditions and knows that she is not worthy of him. He, even if the two of them are together, will not get the consent of Jason's father, even if he loves her, wouldn't she choose to withdraw with her emotional intelligence?"

"I even think that her seduction of Jason that night was not out of any emotion. She just wanted to have fun with this little boy who had not tried it yet, that's all."

"Then why did she name her child Jason? I was very confused about this at first. I really couldn't figure out why. Until I bought a Spider-Man comic on the roadside and then accidentally looked it up. Tell me the name of Spider-Man..."

"Peter: strong, independent, strong."

"Parker: family-oriented and responsible."

"At this moment, I suddenly understood why Parker's father did not name his child Peter, but Parker, because he did not expect his son to become a strong man. It is difficult for him to become a strong person with the current difficulty of promotion. A strong man, therefore, a responsible person is what my father wanted Parker to be, and Parker has indeed achieved that.”

"Then I looked up the meaning of Jason's name, and the result was that I was silenced."

"Jason: Heal..."

"So I think the story is about a person who can heal a family dying quietly, and at the same time, another family is being healed..."

""The Past"... I don't want to say more."

"..."
