What is unique about the documentary "Face, Village" with the highest score of Douban? Why can it be liked by so many people?

"Face, Village" is a plain but extraordinary documentary, which is world-renowned, with Golden Eye Award, Audience Choice Award, Best Documentary Award and Oscar for Best Documentary. These are the aura that people give it through its inherent nature. In a series of documentary arrays, it is obviously famous.

So, let's learn about this documentary.

This documentary is a film directed by Agnès Varda and JR*** This film tells the story of two interesting souls who hit it off after meeting each other and met in a very trendy action.

Agnes is a famous director. Before making this film, she had won lifetime achievement awards at many international film festivals. JR is an anonymous artist. His works of art are all over the world, and he won the 20 1 1 TED prize.

JR has won many awards. Why did you mention this award alone? Because this award is given to those "outstanding individuals" who are committed to changing the world.

Just like the title of this award-winning art project "Subverting the World", JR subverted all our cognition with his huge street poster, bringing a spiritual fluctuation from shock to appreciation.

When shooting this film, Agnes was 88 years old and JR was 33 years old. Their age difference is so big, but it doesn't affect their interest in recording something with each other. They get along well, just like relatives.

Many people have been amazed at this movie in the animation production of the opening and closing, because the opening is unique, cheerful and novel, simple like PPT animation, but the things presented are so clean and harmonious. From the fresh and cheerful opening to the quiet and thoughtful ending, the emotion of this film is perfect and makes people want to stay.

JR and Agnes appreciate each other for a long time, but they never know each other. This film records the process of getting to know each other, and also opens a door full of trendy art.

"We have never met on the road."

"We have never met at the station."

"We have never met in a bakery."

"We have never met on the dance floor."

The film begins with such dialogues and scenes in dialogues. They said that they had never met in these places, but they all appeared on that occasion at the same time. Then why do they say they haven't met?

Because it is easy for us to forget or ignore these faces we have met in our lives, which is also the reason for the inspiration of this face-shooting trip.

Later, JR took the initiative to find Agnes, and then Agnes came to JR, who introduced her team. Before that, Agnes had never worked with anyone on a film, and she took the initiative to find JR who planned the film together.

"Are you ready?"

"Of course, I am willing to go to the village at any time, to those simple scenery and to get close to all kinds of faces."

JR started this documentary tour. He took Agnes to the village and drove the camera car he used to travel around the world. This car can develop huge posters in five seconds. After crossing the beautiful scenery along the way, they soon came to a village, where their photos were stitched together into such a picture.

Agnes said, "It's like a game, but JR is doing what I want to do, meeting new faces and taking pictures of them so that I won't forget them."

Whenever they have time, they will travel. On a trip to the south, Agnes saw the vibrant north, but she couldn't forget the breast-shaped slag pile. JR wanted to see it, too, so he came and praised the miners with posters.

Here, they met Jenny, who is the only one who still lives in the old house to be demolished. Only she understands that there are memories of her life, the memory of the great miner's father, and the memory of the "dirty bag" stained with coal ash. All the memories are inseparable from this hut.

Jenny is the only resistance in town. In memory of her, JR and Agnes made a huge poster for her, which covered the whole wall. When Jenny walked out of the door and saw this scene, she was moved to tears at the moment, which is best described as speechless and choked.

Then, they stopped to determine the future direction and set off again. This time, they came to a farm that JR happened to meet. Coincidentally, Agnes is also familiar with this farm. She once visited a beloved writer here, and her home is only 100 yards from the farm. Take care of the opening of "We never met on the road".

The farmer takes care of 800 hectares of land alone, that is, 12000 mu of land, and he does it from sowing to harvesting. We can't enjoy the loneliness, but he enjoys it. It's hard to understand, but it's actually easy to understand.

After the photo shoot, Agnes and JR both turned their backs to the camera. They sat side by side, thinking about their experiences and their feelings about the world. We can't see through behavior, maybe there is only one purest answer, and all these people who meet by chance have it.

Actually, everyone has it. Finding them and observing them are so fresh and interesting. In Agnes's last documentary about herself, she shared her creative ideas: "She filmed the silent majority."

Similarly, I recorded the silent majority and wrote a poem in this way.

They walked on, and their creations along the way touched many people and won support and gratitude, but they also brought troubles to people. It was a photo of him that made a person become a celebrity in the surrounding world. Everyone who saw the poster praised its beauty, but she herself seemed unable to accept this feeling of "grandstanding". She is a rather shy person.

Next, the film records the story of a bell ringer who inherited his father's bell ringing work and has been doing it for 10 years. It can be seen that he likes this job very much, and it is also a kind of enjoyment in his view.

In the bell tower, he was magnificent and magnificent, which showed me what "dancing" is. This word seems to be tailor-made for him. In this bell tower, he knocked out the enduring Sanskrit.

The warmth in the film makes people feel at ease. Watching JR and Agnes travel, I feel infatuated and envious. This is the life that the soul yearns for. Stop and go, meet some new faces, say goodbye to some interesting people, and don't feel sorry, because there will always be unexpected surprises and wonderful stories ahead.

Everyone recorded in this film loves their own life, and they enjoy life whether they are poor or rich. Everyone's smiling face is simple and natural, and they are willing to accept an uncertain life. This is an open-minded attitude, and it is also a romantic attitude towards life they get from society.

"What you see is vague, but you are not dissatisfied."

"Everything you see is dark, but you have a good time."

"It depends on how you look at all this, keep a certain distance, or look down from a height."

In the face of a thing that befalls you, keeping a certain sense of distance can keep you from falling into it, and looking down from a height can keep you from being so anxious that you can't open your eyes. These are all calming methods.

They record strangers and people around them, willfully and casually. Bonnie is a 75-year-old man. He dressed up his residence like a fairy tale, and all the decorative materials came from the junk he picked up in the street. In his words, "anything can be made into a handicraft, as long as you are creative." "

Bonnie is a very romantic person. Although he is poor, he also thinks he has a lot, such as "I have a star that guards me, my mother is the moon, she brings me coolness, my father is the sun, he brings me warmth, and the universe gives me a place to live."

Goats without horns and goats with horns, in these two places, the film gives different answers through the answers of the two owners. On this issue, everyone can make a choice, choose to make profits conveniently or choose to respect creatures. Burning the horns of a goat is not necessarily wrong, but a goat with horns is a complete goat, which is a natural result.

In the documentary, they walked through many places together. JR refused to take off his sunglasses, but he finally took them off. Agnes took JR to meet his friend Jean-Luc Godel, but this visit was rejected by Jean-Luc Godel.

Agnes was very sad, and JR thought of a better reason to soothe Agnes' sadness. That's not enough. Warm JR wants to do one thing for her, that is, take off his sunglasses for her. At the last moment of the film, he recorded the moment when both of them saw each other's real eyes, and then turned to see the lake together. That's all.

This is a documentary that makes people love recording, photography and life. It shows us different people's lifestyles, different people's mentality and different people's cognition. They used to belong to the silent majority in life, but when we really get to know them, we will find that these people are really great.

Don't let pallor stifle your thoughts, become a maverick and stay away from the silent majority. Slowly, you will also find that the dull life is much more fun.
