large aperture and small depth of field; Spot-metering the highlights that depict the characters' expressions very well; Frequent golden section composition;
curling cigarette smoke; Ancient stairs, smooth handrails; Wooden windows, classic water bottles; .....
I have great respect for a person who dares to analyze himself, such as Zhou Mu Yun. This room in 246 is just a memory, just an introduction to all the scenes.
It is quite interesting for a person who pursues his childhood memories, such as Wong Kar-wai. In his films, he can never abandon the old buildings, quaint streets, dim street lights and the patter of night rain. We have seen it in In the Mood for Love, in Chongqing Forest and several times in 246, but it gives people a feeling of familiarity and kindness rather than repetition. This film is rich in music, well handled and well matched with its composition.
I always watch Wong Kar-wai's films as videos. I don't have enough patience to watch him tell a slow story. And "246", I don't know whether it's because I've listened to Buddhism for dozens of days recently or because my girlfriend is sitting next to me. After reading it with great interest, I actually found a lot of fun in it.
who is Mu Yun Zhou? Who is the hero of His Majesty Mu Yun Zhou? My immediate feeling is that Zhou Mu Yun is not the image of the man played by Tony Leung Chiu Wai, but the spiritual temperament and lifestyle under this image.
Faye Wong and the Japanese, Zhang Ziyi and Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Zhou Mu Yun and Wu Lizhen, each of them is pursuing the past and the aesthetic feelings in their hearts; At the same time, they feel lost and helpless; They are all trying to pursue the life they want, and they are eager to be recognized by others in their pursuit; They are hurting themselves and the hearts of people around them in different ways.
In Zhou Mu Yun's works, the hero has many sides. Just like Japan, male sex, memories, looking for themselves in memories, looking forward to in memories; Just like Carina Lau, a sex girl, feasting, intoxicated herself in feasting, forgetting the past and unwilling to look back; Just like Zhang Ziyi, a female, pursuing, eager for new life in pursuit, as a prostitute, she is still arrogant and self-respecting; Just like Zhou Mu Yun, a sex man, he never forgets the past, and today is romantic, and the future is charming.
The film was cut very well an hour and a half ago. It's not easy for so many characters and roles to be connected so smoothly and brilliantly with a main line in just two hours. After watching this film, I still feel that I can cut out two versions. I once looked at my watch while watching the film. The film was cut to about 1 minutes, but it ended next to the hotel signboard in Mu Yun in the week, removing the story and shadow of In the Mood for Love and becoming an independent humanistic film in the 193s.
From another point of view, there is still room for the editing of chapters in the back of this film, because some scenes in the back are a little abrupt in the current state. If Zedong Company learns some foreign DVD styles, it can make a director's cut-out version and add a few or twenty minutes of stories, which may enrich the characters' expressions and personalities.
One more thing, I prefer Zhou Mu Yun's literary humor. Such as
Chapter: "How can you be free to accompany me on Christmas Eve today? Aren't you going to accompany them?"
Zhou: "Sometimes they have to accompany me, and sometimes they have to accompany others."
Although the subject is only changed, the passive state expressed is obvious, which makes Zhang feel very comfortable. There are many such wonderful dialogues in it, which I believe will become a popular classic dialogue language. There is also a scene where Zhou gives Zhang an apology and presents, which is simply a rascal with literary taste.
Zhang Ziyi said, "I will only belong to you in the future, but can you also belong to me?"
Zhou Mu Yun shook his head.
Zhang has many shots in this film, and the characters are full of personality. She has been longing for love and a man's arms, but she can't tolerate a man's playboy. Her revenge is extremely simple. She uses sex with other men to stimulate Zhou Mu Yun, a man who cares about her. Zhou is indifferent and continues to look for different sexual partners. Zhang felt powerless in revenge, so he was jealous in disappointment and left in disappointment.
Maggie Cheung's charm comes from his bones. Although the camera shot only lasted for a few seconds, it still can't hide its deep splendor. Zhou Muyun said that he was writing a romantic novel, and what I saw was the stories of men and women that made people feel a little sad.
