How about the art of watching movies with tutorial CDs?

The Art of Watching Movies, translated into foreign languages, mainly focuses on some knowledge of movie appreciation. David Bordwell, an American, wrote a more famous similar book. If you are interested, readers who like this book can be interested in reading it. Compared with the Art of Film by Apollo de Ville, the art of watching movies is more popular, so relatively speaking, I hope readers who don't have the theory of film and television aesthetics can start with this book first. A major feature of this book is that, in addition to superficial film theory knowledge, there are related film recommendation articles at the back of each chapter, and the selected film industry is relatively mostly movies in recent years. For example, the latest example of the seventh edition I own is the movie in 2005. The first chapter mainly talks about the necessity of the existence of film aesthetic vision; The second chapter mainly focuses on the theme classification of movies, such as plot-centered, emotional effect or emotion-centered, character-centered, style, texture or structure-centered, and thought-centered; The third chapter mainly talks about the elements of novels and dramas; The fourth chapter is visual effect; The fifth chapter is photography and special visual effects; The sixth chapter is shearing wool; The seventh chapter is color; Chapter 8 is about sound effects and dialogue; Chapter 9 is the soundtrack; Chapter 10 is performance; The eleventh chapter is the director style; Chapter 12 is the overall analysis; The next chapter is the analysis of some special types of movies. Finding this book is also an accidental opportunity. I borrowed books from the library that day, but I'm not going to borrow books. I wandered around and came across this book. I'm tired of reading these days, and I want to calm down and rest. Before that, I borrowed a Cai Zhizhong comic book On the Mainland. Cai Zhizhong's cartoons have cultural connotations, but lack humor. The trip to the mainland didn't relieve my fatigue. Even "The Art of Watching Movies" was borrowed by me. It was only left on my desk for a few days, and it was returned directly without being turned over. I like watching movies, but basically all the movies I watch are concentrated in recent years, and all the movies I watch are muddy and muddy. I prefer reading original novels. Movies are always inseparable from literary works, or at least closely related. I have seen many excellent literary works in history, but when it comes to movies, I have only seen a few. What kind of movie is the best and what kind of aesthetics is the public's, which makes me very confused. IMDB at least gave a good reference, but I can't fully agree with this ranking, which requires me to have my own aesthetic vision, so I need a book on this to systematically understand the art of watching movies. From the moment I borrowed books from my dormitory, I decided to buy a set of library books. Pricing is a bit expensive. 1 1 caught up with the promotion in JD.COM last month, and found several more copies to buy back together. My suggestion is that this book is really good, especially the angle from which the author wrote it. It is difficult for film analysis books or other criticism books to accurately grasp the scale of analysis and judgment, because analysis and criticism are first and foremost the process of decomposing artistic works, destroying beauty and killing our love for art. According to this view, it is best to accept all art intuitively, emotionally and subjectively, so that we can get a complete, warm and vivid feeling without being troubled by reason. But it is either white or black, and it is problematic to look at the quality of art in a polarized way. The problem is that he denies the possibility of "intermediate level"-the aesthetic effect of integrating subjective and objective, rational and perceptual, intuitive and analytical thinking. The perspective of this book is such a neutral perspective. But it is obvious that the aesthetics of film art is the embodiment of personal feelings, not a copy of a unified model, but a unified paradigm. In my opinion, on the contrary, judging the quality of a movie is more based on personal subjective consciousness. You can consider some rational views, but you should also believe in subjective emotional reactions. For example, after watching Let the Bullets Fly, we have a feeling that whether the movie is good or not is a matter of one sentence, and we don't need to rely on relevant film and television reviews. But when we decide whether it is good or not, we will rely on some basic movie skills that we are familiar with, but more often, the standard we measure is not these pure theoretical knowledge, but some movies we have seen before. So instead of looking at the theory, it is better to emphasize your own subjective feelings. The subjective art of watching movies makes the evaluation of a movie varied. The good or bad of the same movie will be different in different people's eyes, and even the subjective standard of everyone's evaluation is ridiculous. For example, some people will say that The Shining's rubbish is because Nicholson is the protagonist or Kubrick is the director, because he likes Kitano Takeshi's style. Some people will attack Chaplin's films, such as The Great Dictator, because they are all black-and-white films regardless of the shooting conditions at that time. Some people will criticize Memento's double-line narration, because his view is that movies should be entertaining and relaxed, otherwise he will complain that the director has not given a clear plot. The so-called double-line narrative is just pretending to be profound. Preference for a genre, a director, an actor, a film style, a shooting technique, and a lighting arrangement. These subjective ideas have greatly influenced our appreciation of film art, so if you like movies as much as I do, it is necessary to change this artistic vision of shallow reading and watching movies. There is also a gap in PS:7 version. The first printing, the color pages inside are glossy paper, and the second printing is ordinary color pages. Personally, I feel that the second printing feels better for browsing the whole book, even if it may cost less.
