I will never forget February 10, 2020 Beijing time.
was conscientiously guarding the screen all morning, after watching the Oscar live broadcast for the first time, the girl Ben Qiya shut down. That morning, I also sent a special message to Moments:
. The later results told me, how can I be a miserable word!
I spent almost a week digesting the results, and even ran to give people other Amway nominated BP (Best Picture) films. At the time when the awards were just over, Douban was bloody, even more so on Weibo. Rainbow farts were blown to the sky, and the battle in hell. Several influential public accounts of film critics even dared to publish carefully for the sake of Chafan. With comments on this Oscar.
Some people say that the best film "Parasite" deserves its name.
I said: nonono, the word "deserved of its name" is placed on this award, no way.
The position of the best film in my heart is reserved for "1917".
But then again, compared to the "Irishman" that accompanies the whole journey, "1917" still won a few awards, which relieved my young soul.

is still the same sentence, not that "Parasite" is not good, but there are other films It is more worthwhile.
An extremely wonderful movie, no matter how subjective its description, its artistic value will become an indelible objective fact. Now let me give a brief chat about this, the best "1917" in my heart.
"1917" is a war movie.
To be honest, Hollywood war films have been shot well for so long. There are good films such as "Saving Private Ryan", "Blood Battle on Hacksaw Ridge", and "Dunkirk", and "1917" is not inferior. Hollywood directors can always dig out a new perspective when making war films to take you to experience the war and feel history. Many films, especially realist films, often express feelings about the powerlessness of the little people in the big era. But this time, the director of "1917" Sam Mendes used the same method of seeing the big in a small way. The pressure of how to move was on two soldiers who were too small to be inconspicuous.
uses a mirror to the end.
In 2017, the cross-editing of the three timelines of sea, land and air in Dunkirk surprised and admired everyone. People sigh with emotion that Nolan (director of "Dunkirk") has built a mountain in the war movie, while secretly expecting that latecomers can innovate and recreate high-quality goods. Sure enough, two years later, Sam Mendes took his "1917" to the end and broke into the audience's sight.
What is a mirror in the end? Simply put, it means that the whole film comes down with one shot, and there is no trace of editing.
As early as 1948, the film master Hitchcock used a one-shot shooting technique in his movie "Imperial Soul"; in 2014, "Birdman" won the same year with one shot. Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Photography, and many other awards; in 2018, a small-cost Japanese comedy film "Don’t Stop the Camera" relied on telling the story of the shooting, which cost nearly ten This year’s income became the dark horse of the year; this year, "1917" challenged the war theme for the first time, and won the best film, best director and best original soundtrack at the Golden Globe, which is known as the "Oscar Prospect".
I have been thinking about the meaning of a mirror to film art.
As we all know, editing is an important branch of film art, and it is a re-creation after filming. French New Wave film director Godard once said: "Editing is the official beginning of film creation." After all, through editing, in the objective limited time from beginning to end of a movie, the sequence of story development can be reversed and the time of occurrence can be reversed. Vagueness, montage techniques can be used continuously, and the narrative space can be reconstructed. I can modify the ending, cover up the truth, seeing is not necessarily believing.
real dreaming spacebetween. Just like the father in the movie "Manslaughter", he used the montage technique to get rid of crime. What is the meaning of the so-called "cut" in the shooting process of
? Like the drama next door?
As we all know, there is a wall between the drama next door and our film art.
is not connotation, but there is really a huge difference between the two art categories. The stage is a three-dimensional space. Movies are not, so movies can reverse time and space. Every time a drama is performed, there are endless possibilities because it cannot be repeated. Therefore, there are countless versions of the wonderful, and once the movie is cut Basically, there will be no major changes due to the performance of the actors and the reaction of the audience; the audience can choose to use their own perspective (of course, depending on the degree of wealth and poverty) to enjoy a drama, and the movie is It is the photographer's carefully designed lens language and the camera position instead of the audience's perspective to lead the audience into the film.
Therefore, it is necessary to arrange in advance like a drama, meticulous positioning and scheduling, and a wonderful performance in one go, but also to find a good position, a good angle, and a design of the camera's movement trajectory to make the picture full of beauty and convey information.
is too difficult.
But Roger Diggins, the photographer of "1917", said that when he first turned to the first page of the script and saw the words "This movie is conceived as a mirror to the end", he thought it was a gimmick. It wasn't until he finished reading the script that he realized that the director chose one shot to the end because he hoped that the film would give the audience a feeling of being on the scene. By following the footsteps of the two soldiers all the way, he felt the urgency of the journey.
So I think, after all, a shot is probably the challenge and pursuit of the filmmakers' high artistic level. The best photography of
was given to "1917", which deserves its name. It's so comfortable to watch the whole movie. A moving mirror like flowing clouds and flowing water can be called a fairy. Since I am too lazy to make animated pictures, and how can a good mirror show rely on animated pictures? So please go to the movie to experience this visual feast.
Audiovisual itself is a kind of language. It is scarce and powerless to describe the sensory experience brought by the lens picture and the sound effects in the language of words.
started with an empty mirror. At first glance, my mother said: It’s so beautiful! The picture is very clean, beautiful, and really healing. The 2.35:1 frame is more in line with the visual habits of the human eye. (Why does this sentence sound like a commercial slogan?)
The lens begins to pull back, and the two main characters in the film appear. This composition looks very simple, but it is actually very clever and handled beautifully. At first I thought it was a double male lead movie, but in fact, the director told us the primary and secondary relationship between the two at the beginning. Looking at the position of the actors, it is obvious that our male lead is sitting closer to the camera. There are many more suggestive shots like this, or designs that deliberately interfere with information for the audience. All the shots of the relationship between the two in the
film are very good in composition, carefully designed, and the pictures are very attractive.
