Behind the scenes production of paradise day

This film is the first feature film directed by Terrence Malik. The story of the film tells that a young couple who wanted to change their lives came to the south in the early 20th century, but when their lives really changed, they were at a loss. The narrative tone of the whole film is gloomy, and the story development is slightly dull. The little girl Linda narrates as a voiceover, which runs through the whole film. It is the masterpiece of the famous movie star richard gere, and it is also one of the few outstanding works in his actor career.

Days in Paradise was shot by photographer arman Almendros, who has worked for Truffaut for a long time. With its soothing style, oil-painting composition and tone, this film accurately captures the pastoral flavor of the United States at the beginning of the century. At the end, the scene where farmers set fire to the wheat fields to vent their emotions while killing locusts shows the outstanding contribution made by the film in photography technology. Almost all of the film was shot on location, and most of it was shot in the so-called "magic moment"-that is, the sky turns dark blue or red half an hour before sunrise and half an hour after sunset every day, but it still clearly reflects the outline of all the scenery on the earth, which looks like the effect of lighting up from the sky and then shining on the ground. The photography industry calls it "magic moment", which is quite effective in oil painting and silhouette. In the film, the scarecrow in the open field reflected by the sunset glow, the wheat ears covered with dew, the farmers working in the wheat fields in the morning, the geese flying south in the sky, the ripples caused by the wind on the lake, and the beautiful light and shadow are everywhere. Days in Paradise has become a must-see film for every film photographer.
