love movies can be said to be one of the most classic and eternal existences in the movie genre. The pattern of
is obviously not big. As long as there are two people, one man and one woman, it can fit into an epic that affects the development of mankind like World War II. Super background,
like "Pearl Harbor"...
It's just the collision of two people, but it can be matched with infinite elements,
The sea in "Titanic", the sea in "La La Land" The dreams in "Once Upon a Time"...
are obviously the most sincere and beautiful emotions, but they can also reflect the "loneliness" that human beings cannot escape throughout their lives. All kinds of
LGBT movies show that even love , It is often difficult to overcome the tragic experience of loneliness, being out of gregariousness, being discriminated against, and being gossiped.
Love movies that cross species include " The Shape of Water ", "The Line of Happiness Behind the Dark Clouds", which can cure mental illness even with love, and "
", which changed the lives of two lovers because of a lie and a misunderstanding "Love in the Sky",
Even if you are in love, you can't escape the reality, class, material, money gap and disparity in " Adele's Life"...
Why are love movies so classic, so eternal, and timeless, but
clearly It's just a story of two people, a relationship between the parties, but it can reflect the empathy of thousands of creatures.
When you think that all the thousands of love stories in the world have already been told,
After the five-minute montage of "La La Land" carrying dreams, the two people look back at the interlaced eyes in the bar, In spring, summer, autumn and winter, with a glance of ten thousand years, the understanding, relief, reluctance, blessing, cherishment and touch in
's eyes can still hit your heart directly and make you sigh the magic of love.
Today, Hongyanxiu wants to introduce this youth love movie to you.
not only continues the old template of love movies, but also plays new tricks. It was even shown at the recent Cannes Film Festival Splendid,
punk godmother Nicole Kidman, smoky alien girl Elle Fanning starring "Party Pick Up Tips" .
The film received a Douban rating of 7.7 points, and
was also praised by many professional film critics and fans:
"It's so interesting!", "It's so fun!", "It sounds good and looks good!" "Tell a background story in 1977, but it has a fresh and interesting core. In the suburbs of London in 1977, three boys obsessed with punk music wandered the streets all day long, pretending to be cool. On the surface,
looked like a devil king , When I meet a beautiful girl, I don't have the courage to go up to strike up a conversation.
One day, I learned that the local punk spiritual leader was going to hold a party. The jerky young boys decided to attend together, and they could flirt with girls.
Unexpectedly, they broke into the party of aliens by mistake ,
I can't get a girl from a human being, but I fell in love with an alien girl at first sight. In order to show the great love of the earth people, a 48-hour earth punk experience began!
This film is adapted from the short story of the same name by the fantasy novelist Neil Gaiman, directed by director John Cameron Mitchell, who was once popular in the film and music world with " Rock Barbie ", cleverly combines otaku, flirtatious, foreign The comedic elements of the stars are added, such as punk music and rebellious spirit.
found the sexy and mature Nicole Kidman in the film,
even subverted the previous gorgeous image, transformed into a punk godmother with silver hair and afro, screaming and shouting that rock and roll will not die!
Elle Fanning as alien girl ,
has transformed from an ignorant, well-behaved and innocent young girl to the lead singer of a sexy smokey punk band.
in the psychedelic and grotesque image style, combined with the psychedelic and gorgeous punk soundtrack, composes a strange and romantic love affair. It can be said that
is a somewhat playful movie, no matter from the picture, music, camera transition or even The plot itself is very exciting.
The film has a detailed reproduction of the British suburbs in the 1970s, and has a good understanding of punk music and culture. In the eyes of the film’s protagonist, punk youth, punk means:
A kind of freedom that breaks all social norms and challenges all authority Life and art expression methods~
Whether it’s Nicole Kidman’s exaggerated silver afro,
and her anti-goddess image of holding the speaker on her shoulders arrogantly;
and the male protagonist’s team broke the music structure , making all the noise violently in the streets of elegant and quiet London at midnight, as if waiting for all unknown and mysterious things to happen.
Including the hero who saw the alien girl Zan cut his sequined dress roughly with scissors for the first time,
the originally sluggish boy suddenly shouted "It's punk!"
made people feel the punk spirit Among them, the rebellious spirit is so sincere that it is almost silly...
The director also has originality in the design of aliens in clothing, music, and living forms. The stars don’t need to say a word, and they don’t need to make eye contact with the protagonist or us to show that they are different from us. This is also reflected in the design skills of the director, screenwriter and stylist.
The aliens have a well-defined and rigorous social system and social rules.
has grades differentiated by color, latex costumes, and all members go out in the street wearing the British flag... The design of
is actually based on the future of science fiction. It can reflect modern and retro colors.
Futuristic psychedelic music and dances that look like cult rituals, religious ceremonies, strange behaviors, forms of social organization that devour offspring to maintain life, etc.
and pregnancy itself is a form of witnessing love, but it destroys The unconventional setting of the lover...
all make us have a wonderful subversion in the sense of perception, hearing, vision, movie-watching experience and inherent cognition!
The climax of the film,
comes from the extraterrestrial Zan and the protagonist Enn in a concert performance between the alien girl’s rebellion and the punk youth’s wantonness,
The young and sweet girl suddenly puts on sexy, rough smoky makeup, always A young man who is dull in his own world suddenly indulges himself on the stage.
already gave the audience a strong sensory impact, and the picture suddenly transcended reality and became psychedelic and colorful, directly creating a weird and colorful texture like a sci-fi MV.
not only reflects the director's For fun, I also saw the director's breakthrough in music and love movies.
does not need to combine dance, music, singing, plot, musicals, retro costumes, and scenery tones like "La La Land" and "The Greatest Showman". As a foil for music romance films,
integrated the art of graphic design into the form of films in a more three-dimensional and abstract way.
The movie is not only a big mix in the form of picture and soundtrack, but also a big mix in the genre of the movie,
science fiction + romance + youth + music + retro
these kinds of films are opposite to each other, but also connected to each other The types are mixed together to give us a kind of psychedelic eyes and earsA new feeling.
For example,
Fan Ning is wearing a retro gray plaid suit and a male protagonist wearing a sweater school uniform, listening to vinyl records in a record store, the retro texture of a Walkman; The weird sci-fi futuristic feeling that people suddenly approach the boys;
For example,
The fat, gentle mother and the son who is in love with each other are smiling, and the admiration of gossip brings back a cute youth movie texture;
For example,
Pure girl station It’s the texture of a musical film when you sing a cappella on the stage and get booed to get off the stage, and the audience boils as soon as you open your voice;
For example,
, a boy and a girl eat an ice cream together on the street, hold hands and run wildly in the street. Immediacy.
The elements of these different movie types are mixed together, which is extremely harmonious and has a strange and full of beauty. On the surface,
is due to the freshness caused by the collision of different types of pictures, music, clothing, and color styles. In fact, it is the novelty of opposite stimuli created by the collision of different types. The whole story of
is a fairly classic template, in fact, it is a story of contact and love with different races, ethnic groups, nationalities, and types.
Because of coincidences and accidents, you know different races, and your life is completely different from hers and him, but
has experienced a climax event, you have something in common, and you feel each other in differences The same, empathy that is difficult to feel in the same category.
Later, because your type is different from his, you are separated by external forces, and you must choose to fight against yourself or his race for your lover,
This is the hottest point of your relationship!
There are two kinds of endings,
you and his love moved everyone, and you got a happy ending;
Last year’s Oscar best director work "The Shape of Water" is basically this template, and the reason why it is appreciated by the academics is that the overall style of top is both self-contained and unified,
neat water blue screen tone, The depressing wartime background, the cool-colored dessert cold drink shop, the water waves flowing on the glass windows of the bus, and the Japanese ukiyo-e style water patterns on the walls...
's hazy and gentle tones complement each other with the taboo on the surface and the gentle love story at the core.
has been criticized by many fans because the whole movie is full of harmonious beauty. This is really a boring and old-fashioned love story.
Hong Yanxiu believes that the only novelty of "The Shape of Water" lies in the anti-routine ending,
has neither the tragedy of the male and female protagonists being separated, nor the happy ending where their emotions move everyone. The
spinning top is so stubborn that the two lonely races are placed in the sewer that is not dreamy. They are simply in their own water world, and they don't need to prove anything to outsiders!
And Hong Yanxiu believes that the novelty of "Party Picking Up Tips" is even better than "The Shape of Water" because:
is also a template for falling in love with different species, and the director has abandoned the neat aesthetics of "The Shape of Water" ,
combines different types of elements, strange sci-fi, fresh and short-lived first love, melancholy punk music, retro British style London street clothing,
creates a unique, bold and confident brand new type piece.
The ending of the movie is also quite innovative. This boy who once let himself go, fell in love with aliens, and sang loudly on the punk stage,
even put on glasses at the end and grew his long hair.A writer, smiling modestly and politely shaking hands with book fans at his book signing party,
The camera advances step by step, book fans come forward to ask for handshakes and autographs...
Do you think that in the end, that man The protagonist thinks about it day and night, a beautiful elf alien girl who doesn’t even say goodbye will appear in front of us,
no, in the end it is the hero and heroine’s child who returned to the earth, the typical first suppresses and then rises, making us think :
"All encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence", "All intense love in youth will turn into calm"!
subverts the idea of
, giving the last unexpected innovation.
not only has the ignorance and sweetness of first love, but also the nostalgic retro elegance of the streets of London in the 1970s, as well as the weird and psychedelic future science fiction, and the manic rebellion combined with the spirit of punk,
even gave you a Unexpected sensational tears,
, such a multi-element music love sci-fi movie, will definitely subvert your viewing experience and bring you different fresh excitement,
you are you, she is her, when two people are together Together, everything will be different~
