Why is Farewell My Concubine classic?

As the seventh art, movies directly affect the various senses of the audience, and "how to say" is often as important as "what to say". Farewell My Concubine, as the only professional award in China that won both the Golden Lion Award and the Golden Bear Award, is known as the three highest honor symbols of the film festival. Besides its conception, content and actors' performances, Chen Kaige's talent as a director is also very important. Just like the same story, different people will write different flavors, people with poor writing will bury a good story, but people with good writing can make up a good story. Farewell My Concubine is a good story, but if he meets a bad director, it will be difficult to become a classic. I will start with the film language, hoping that everyone can have another perspective of appreciation. Film language includes lens application, picture composition, editing, montage, lighting, tone, sound effect, soundtrack, scenes, costumes, props and many other aspects. I will only focus on the use of the lens here. The purpose of lens application in a film is not to show off photography skills, but to highlight the theme of the film, dilute it and guide the audience to pay attention to the director's intention. From this point of view, the best lens technique should be that you don't notice any deliberate skills, and only let the audience feel a natural film style in the process of watching movies. ? The lens is like the eyes of the audience, and the different shooting angles and methods of the camera will affect the audience's viewing line of sight. Chen Kaige's seat adjustment is a textbook model. * Location is the name given by the film creator to the camera shooting location, and it is also the expression of the camera shooting point in film analysis. Seats are the most important language form in the film director's style, and each seat reflects the way the director completes the film narrative in space and scheduling.
