Everyone has something worthy of being recorded. As soon as the lens is zoomed in, the details that are usually overlooked become tasteful. It's just that, in the past, it was too extravagant to record one's life with video. In the past two years, with the advancement of photography technology, personal and family image recording is no longer so remote.
This allows documentaries depicting the real lives of ordinary people to have more space on the big screen. There is no need for thrilling drama, just a simple and sincere record of life is enough to move the audience. For example, "Four Springs" recommended by Mr. Ten.
The object recorded in this movie is very ordinary, that is, an ordinary family.
In the four spring, summer, autumn and winter, parents cook New Year’s Eve dinner, write couplets with their own hands, play with musical instruments, and go hiking in the mountains. All this, for ordinary people, may be ordinary and easy to miss moments; but for the director and his parents, every time node is particularly precious.
Lu Qingyi himself revealed that his parents used photos to leave a record of the growth of their children in each period. You know, that was in the 1970s and 1980s. Taking a photo was a luxury for ordinary families. After a fire in the house in 1998, the first thing his mother did was to look for the old photos. The habit of
was recorded and passed down and left to director Lu Qingyi. He also learned to use images to record his life. The documentary "Long Live Life", which also went to theaters before, also used fragmentary records to write the lives of a group of ordinary Chinese people. Forty-five, not too many, it is better than the truth. Ming Ge in Guangzhou Night Market sells snails for his daughter to go to school, but because of his profession, he has a gap with her daughter;
, a young doctor who plays a clown in the hospital, faces the seriously ill children. But the children who were amused by the clown did not know that the doctor himself had cancer. In the middle of the night, he can't laugh, and often sits alone until dawn;
, a single mother driving a taxi with her daughter, can only work at night because of her children. From five in the afternoon to five in the morning, the daughter's bed has always been the back seat of the taxi; these fragments are just fragments. The protagonist in the filming may be just ordinary people passing by on the street.
But it happens to be at the moment. With the photography technology and dedicated photographers, these fragments that have been neglected for centuries have the opportunity to be recorded and preserved. What the image preserves is not only the daily and intermittent life course of life, but also warmth and love. And the recent hit "From "China" to China" shows the magic of images and time.
Only through a clear comparison can we discover how much the lives of ordinary people have changed in 50 years. The former factory was turned into a cultural park, and the simple buildings were transformed into glamorous high-rise buildings; but only the former kindergarten still stood in place, and all that was seen were innocent smiling faces. The stories that were banned back then are nothing more than real life.
The life of ordinary people is trivial. Today and tomorrow, it is the sunrise and the sunset. But only in the record of images can we discover how much time has changed us invisibly. Life is short, so we value time more.
Using images to record life is no longer a luxury that only film can afford, but has become the daily needs of ordinary people. And what we want to record is certainly not the daily life of saving the planet, but the memories that are more suitable for sharing with friends. For example, as a mountaineering enthusiast, overcome the pain of muscle soreness and conquer every steep slope. At the moment of finally reaching the top, even if there is no one else around at this time, how can the beauty of reaching the top remain in the memory and let it gradually blur.
or in a long human growth run, there will always be a moment when the shoelaces are slightly loosened. Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted. Every time I was only one breath away,The most difficult. A little bit of relaxation will make people unable to keep on working hard. At this moment, someone pushed you behind or pulled you up. Only those who run to the finish line will know how important the power of that hand is.
For many people, recording their lives with video sounds like an overly complicated project. Indeed, if it is a professional photographic lens, long guns and short shots, it seems not easy. However, if it is a mobile phone, the lock screen slides open and the lens is stable, which is naturally much easier for ordinary people. Therefore, even if it is a blockbuster like Oscar, there are also works shot with mobile phones. Even if that moment has been missed, you can travel through time and space through editing and shooting to return to the time node that was missed.
That may be when you were distracted in class when you were a girl, when the teacher threw a chalk head over, but you passed it easily.
is so cool, it's almost comparable to the image of Keanu Reeves hiding from a bullet in The Matrix;
may also be a sad moment of breaking up with her boyfriend. Perhaps in reality, breaking up will only cry and wear makeup.
But in imagination, it might be to throw away the umbrella smartly and let the rain hit one's face, just like the classic picture in "Shawshank's Redemption". Who hasn't had a time when the drama spirit has been possessed.
At the moment, movies are so close to most people's lives, and even everyone's life can become a movie. And my life story is naturally written by myself, which is more natural.
only depends on whether you, as the director of your own life, can lead to Douban 9.9.
After all, there is more than one way to make a good movie.
