Comments or film reviews on the French film Micro World.

The documentary "Micro World" is the technical award of 1996 Cannes Film Festival. 1997 was nominated by 8 French César Awards, and finally won 5 awards for best production, best photography, best sound, best music and best editing. Even such an old film still has a lot to pay attention to today. The documentary "Micro World" shows the world of insects from the perspective of animals. Excellent picture quality, the picture is extremely thorough and clean. In terms of sound, except for a short description at the beginning, the whole documentary has almost no human voice, and it is all composed of the rustle of insects and ingenious music. But the whole movie is not dull, because it is not just a "didactic" documentary, it is like a drama starring the insect BLACKPINK, telling the bits and pieces of insects living in this world, and the documentary is full of French romantic feelings everywhere. There is such a scene in the movie Micro World. Two long-distance snails, each with its own direction. One day, they just appeared in front of each other impartially. Their sensitive and delicate tentacles are gradually elongated, which is a test of each other and their fate. They touch and shrink back, carefully ponder and brew, and finally, they move forward and move forward at the same time until their bodies are completely rubbed together. Under the lens of jacques perrin, their skin is moist and soft, and all the sensory cells are extremely open, flashing with glittering and translucent desire. In their life, what are the chances of meeting their own kind after a long journey, having the same shell, breath and even dreams as themselves? How exciting this meeting is. After all, a lifetime of luck may accumulate and spread at this moment, without preface or postscript. This is the sexiest scene in the movie I have ever seen. Every minute is full of enthusiasm and gratitude for life.

In addition, this documentary adopts anthropomorphic narrative techniques, focusing on touching people with biological feelings. It does not pay attention to introducing the life habits of insects, but tells the life of insects like a story, and successfully tells stories with pictures. We will be moved by dung beetles's persistence when we see him pushing a dung ball persistently. When we see caterpillars lining up in an orderly way, we will suddenly meet another team of caterpillars, and when the order is disrupted, we will also panic with them; When we see ants carrying bigger and heavier food than ourselves, we can't help but admire the hard work and hardship of ants ... When watching movies, we will feel that insects, like us, will have affection and love, will be competitive, will be sweet with their lovers, and will be afraid when their lives are threatened. Of course, there are still some problems in the handling of the film. For example, when editing a picture, it's messy, just a bunch of messy shots piled together, which makes people unable to understand. However, perhaps it is because the development of editing technology at that time did not enter the digital age so quickly as it is today. Moreover, in the part where spiders catch insects, it is obvious that people throw poor insects on the spider web, and the traces of posing are too obvious. Finally, there is something wrong with the sound of insects, and the flapping sound to clams is more like the sound of bees. However, perhaps just as this documentary hardly uses the traditional documentary speech mode, it is to let us pay more attention to the expression of picture shooting without other interference. Therefore, the pros and cons of this film should be viewed more from what the film wants to convey. The concept of equality conveyed behind the film is the most brilliant part of this film. French documentaries don't have too many dazzling skills to attract people's attention, but attract us through a special way of telling, so that we can feel and understand. The humanistic atmosphere contained in this documentary is beyond the reach of many other similar documentaries.

In a word, the film "Micro World" shows us a different world with deep French romantic feelings, which makes us understand the joys and sorrows of insects and treat life with respect and equality. I think this is where it really shines.
