Jia Zhangke once shot a short film called "Public Places", which was too realistic for many people to watch. Why can't it stand? It's too real. The charm of movies lies in putting an artistic coat on ordinary stories. The significance of the documentary is that not only the coat is stripped off, but also the previous one is also gone. Therefore, what you see is a more realistic picture based on the reality you are in. You will feel unhappy, even a little angry. Why show such a real side. Isn't it good to shoot something beautiful?
When you ask questions like this, the meaning of a documentary comes out.
Sometimes, you may feel that documentary films seem to be incompatible with the film industry. But more often, when you finish watching a documentary, you will find that it turns out that the image form of recording life is so beautiful, and even in many cases, it is much better than that shown in a feature film or a commercial film. Kind of beautiful is much better. This is the meaning of a documentary. It records what we have neglected or has long forgotten. It reminds us that in a certain place, in a certain place, in a place you can't think of, in a place you can't reach, there are many more People have a lot of life.
This is the meaning of a documentary, but will you associate the documentary with Director Lou Ye? You will not, why not. Because Lou Ye is the same in your heart as in the hearts of many, many people. This is an out-and-out literary film director. What he is good at is telling stories, telling a very tortuous story. Obviously, storytelling has already explained the origin of the movie. Storytelling is not about recording stories, so when it comes to recording stories, perhaps director Lou Ye should put a question mark here. Can Lou Ye make a documentary?
answer it, yes, and not bad. The movie recommended to everyone today is a documentary, a documentary filmed by Director Lou Ye. The film is called "In Shanghai". This is a work by Director Lou Ye in his early years. This is a work that you can recognize even if you don't go to the list of film workers. Why do you say that, because many friends who are familiar with Director Lou Ye will understand that I will definitely talk about that again. Which one? Of course it is that, of course it is "handheld + swing".
Yes, this is Lou Ye's style, and this is also a true recording style. Under such a shaking lens, if you can hide your inner "surging", you will find yourself watching a good work. Then all the previous discomforts disappeared. Looking back, you will re-examine the director. As a director, Lou Ye is really good. This documentary is really not bad.
This film mainly records for us a real life in Shanghai. In the film, there are both the bustling streets and the winding alleys; there are both glamorous urban white-collar workers and the fishermen on the Bund fishing boats who are rushing for life; the children are happy, the crowd is proud Yes, the little girl facing the camera will also have a blank face, and the cold Shanghai also has a smile from a foreign country. The
crowd treats the camera with precautions in many cases, but there are also enthusiastic smiling faces who come up to look at it. The indifferent face seems to be the most normal response to strangers. So there are also people in the film who raise their fists. Shanghai is feasting at night. We can also see the indecent scene on the fishing boat in the evening. These real and gorgeous images that are incompatible with the gorgeous images we have seen in the past are constantly intertwined in the film. Just as the director said in the film. He just wanted to tell everyone that Shanghai is a magical place with mountains and rivers, and similarly, it can also be used by Liba people.
As everyone knows, realism accounted for a large part of the films of director Jia Zhangke in his early years. "Public Place" is a very direct realism, this kind of realism smashed our previous understanding of modern society. Director Jia Zhangke's search for the picture is to a large extent to the extreme. He accurately discovered the areas that we ourselves tried to draw a clear line with, and then recorded them completely with images. Director Lou Ye has the same purpose, but in his film, it seems to be more gentle. He did not blindly dig into the corners of Shanghai that we have never seen before, and he will also show the prosperity of Shanghai. He didn't tell us what it must be, but just threw this multiple choice question to the audience. Everyone has their own Shanghai in their eyes. You are not right, so are you.
This is just like the back of the film, two were filmedThe photographer chased Lou Ye in anger and anger. The swaying picture seemed to tell us that this was true. Lou Ye might have been chased down, but at the same time, we might think about it when we calm down. This may be a scene set by the director himself. The purpose is to let us see the indifferent gentleness and the fervent violence in the lens. Yes, maybe this is not right or wrong. Some are just records, a pure record like a person who witnessed it.
Lou Ye gave you Lou Ye's eyes. If you didn't just spot the audience, you might be able to see the scars of this city.
