Do you like to read movie reviews? I like
very much. You may say, "This has already been spoiled, is it interesting for you to watch it again?" How should
answer this?
has so many movies released every year, but there are very few good ones. It is really uncomfortable to spend 2 hours watching a bad movie that is not to your taste.
——The author of
Europa is a senior film critic. He has been engaged in film review writing since college, and is now full-time writing, curator and film selection. He has received wide attention and discussion with his bold and sharp comments, and is also a frequent guest of the Golden Horse Awards judges and the media columns of various film festivals.
Europa
The name of Europa is very interesting, it is the second satellite of Jupiter , and it is also the Chinese homophonic of English "movie".
can see from this, he is closely connected with the movie.
" I learned about the world through movies, and movies have also shaped me. It is the so-called transcendence, the survival of the gods. "
During the lockdown period, Europa was born from 1984 to 2019, in every Selected a favorite movie every year, and wrote 36 "life lists" with unlimited genres and forms. This book,
, has nothing to do with broken dreams or dream-making, just some thoughts on movies. I checked
, and I only watched two of the 36: " Totoro " and "The Last Emperor", but after reading it, I planted a lot of grass, and I collected them all. I will watch them when I have free time. Other bad reviews of
that I haven't read, let me talk about the feelings he wrote for me.
"The Last Emperor"
The Last Emperor
Europa in "The Last Emperor" called Puyi a "child who lives for history":
engraved Puyi's tombstone with his name and date of birth and death, at the end There is also engraved on the place "(Buried with his concubine and his concubine) symbolizing that China's long feudal system was buried in the tomb. In this sense, history has been created here!"
I don't know what to use Words to express the "daigo empowerment" this sentence brought me!
Just a while ago, I just finished reading Pu Yi's autobiography "The First Half of My Life". "In his life, he has changed from a prisoner of the Forbidden City to a prisoner of history." All were recorded, and it was some special people and events that represented the change of dynasties.
Puyi is unfortunate but he is lucky, and it is not cool to represent a piece of history that will not be forgotten.
"My Neighbor Totoro"
Totoro
The author of this article named "The Story of the Ghibli Mascot", he claimed to be a Ghibli fan, and introduced us some background of "My Neighbor Totoro".
was released in 1988 and was re-released in China in 2018. The cute and fat shape of
Totoro depends on the western fantasy legends, plus the imagination of Hayao Miyazaki , creating a "dust spirit in an empty house, a spirit sheltered by a big tree, eating acorns " creatures, and creatures such as the "cat bus" that connects homes and hospitals and travels through the countryside.
"My Neighbor Totoro"'s copy is "This strange creature, maybe, still exists in Japan. "
may not only exist in Japan, but also around us, but unfortunately only innocent children can see it.
In the author's pen, Hayao Miyazaki's films are full of fairy tale whimsy, and every adult who watches is also the protagonist. .
I read the whole book without feeling emotional. Sure enough, "there are specialties in the art industry", but senior film critics are different.
is a digression, For foreign literature, I like to watch movies first, and I have a correspondence between the faces and names of the characters in them. When I read them again, I will not be bothered by the names.
how about you? Do you prefer to read books or movies first?
