Film Review (short and incisive)

One theme Wong Kar-wai directed this romantic film with the theme of modern city, and described the emotional story between two couples with two love stories as narrative objects. Both stories are based on the protagonist's lovelorn love, showing people's changeable and fragile feelings in today's increasingly modern and fast-paced world. Too many vegetarian relationships tend to disappear faster. Break up and don't leave others. For example, in the film, why did the policeman break up with his girlfriend for five years because he didn't know her, and the separation between the policeman and the stewardess was the girlfriend's mental boredom or the work reason forced by flying around. The director used a long space to express the personal narrative of He He and the patrolman, showing the sadness and loss of urban men after emotional frustration, as well as their reluctance to their former lovers and that relationship. But when their feelings are gone, they have no passive escape, but have the courage to pursue the next goal and find true love. This film still adopts Wang Dao's consistent practice, with beautiful and gorgeous language and sad content, which embodies the conflict between modern love concept and values and shows the strong pursuit of true love. 2 Art Form 1 Personalized Narrative Mode The four protagonists in the film all introduce their life experiences and their ideological activities in a personalized narrative mode. Among them, He Wuzhi and patrolman's personal narratives are mostly. This narrative way brings the audience into the narrator's personal world, as if they had experienced the pain, loneliness and sadness of lovelorn together. The feeling of being lovelorn and growing up is something that everyone has experienced and resonates with the audience. Verification: The more personal, the more common. Finally, a more attractive artistic effect was achieved. . At the same time, from the personal narrative of both men and women, it completely shows the different views of love between men and women. He's narrative shows his disappointment with his former love affair and his loss as if he had been abandoned by the whole world. The patrolman feels the same way. Through his conversations with soap, towels and toys, we can see that he is using their sadness as an excuse to express his true feelings. In the bar, the woman played by Brigitte Lin didn't answer Wu Zhi's question. The film shows her distrust of urban men in a self-reported way, which may be the reason for her indifference to men and shows her extreme insecurity about love from the side. 2. The main thread running through the full text: The two stories of lovelorn love are both narrated in the background of the protagonist's lovelorn love, and both describe the sadness and pain when he was lovelorn. After a strong emotional struggle, he finally found true love again. Among them, they are also faced with a cruel fact: He called his girlfriend for the first time six years after he caught the wanted man, but it was a puzzling man who answered the phone. The patrolman happened to meet his ex-girlfriend in a convenience store and chopped her current boyfriend with a machete. In the end, He Wuzhi decided not to look for a girl with the same name as his ex-girlfriend, and the patrolman gradually accepted Effie, a waiter who secretly loved him. Thirdly, the whole photography adopts a series of rapid shots, showing a sense of urgency, creating a tense and chaotic atmosphere and giving the audience a good visual experience. At the same time, the blur of the lens makes the central figure stand out when chasing drug dealers. When Lin looked for Indians, the use of quick shots showed her anxiety and panic. When the American was shot, the panic in the bar showed that she was not afraid of danger. In the second story, when Effie handed the letter to the patrolman, people in a hurry kept passing by, only they were quietly drinking coffee. This sharp contrast between static and dynamic sets a suspense for the film: Is the patrolman thinking now? The setting of music and the creation of atmosphere in the four films are thought-provoking. Judging from the whole film, that touching English song runs through the whole film. Especially the second story. And this cheerful and dynamic music often shows the clarity of the protagonist's mood at that time. Interspersed with Indian-style music: In the film, when Lin shuttles among a group of Indians, the sound is noisy and the urgent music sounds accordingly, rendering a tense atmosphere and giving the audience a strong auditory shock. Later, with the appearance of Indians, Indian-style music sounded. From this point, it is not difficult to see that changes in countries and customs are taken into account. The appearance of Indians and Indian-style music complement each other. At the same time, the atmosphere of the silver medal is vividly portrayed in Indian songs that are either soothing or tense. Suspense setting In this film, the director has carefully set up many suspense, both big suspense running through the whole film and small suspense related to local development. The use of these suspense caught the audience's attention well, thus achieving the director's creative purpose. The great suspense in the whole article is whether the two protagonists will have lovers after going through hardships. With this big suspense, there are still many small suspense in details. For example, He described that he sometimes spent the night at his girlfriend's house because he was afraid of being discovered by his girlfriend's parents, and he often climbed out of the window. No one knows whether there will be this chance after breaking up. Until his birthday, his girlfriend didn't call, and the suspense was lifted. Will Lin let a group of Indians put drugs in their belongings and enter the airport? Later, the Indians disappeared and searched hard for no results. Where did the Indians go? Knowing the end of the film doesn't mean. The second story, whether Effie sneaked into the patrolman's home, set a suspense. The patrolman invited Effie not to come. Where the hell did she go? Set suspense. A year later, Effie returned to his cousin's shop, and the policeman took out the ticket from a year ago. Will Effie allow him to board? The film gave the audience a broad imagination with an open ending. In these paragraphs, the director fully mobilized various audio-visual language skills to prolong this suspense, which we will read with the film.
