What is the innovation of the film 19 17?

About this year's Oscar, some people feel sorry "19 17". Although the film was nominated by 10, it only got the final nomination? Best sound effects, best photography? And then what? Best visual effect? Three awards, in fact, can win three awards, "19 17" has reached the expectation, because many innovative ways have been adopted, and there is a risk of failure.

Compared with the traditional presentation methods used in other films, the three most striking innovations of 19 17 are that it creates empathy in life scenes, provides a relaxed rhythm and shows a real world.

Due to the three innovations, in the 1 19-minute movie, the audience will not feel bored, but will only complete an unforgettable war adventure with a mirror-to-the-end picture.

War? The road movie "19 17" is rarely seen but not original. The film begins with soldiers pretending to sleep. The two protagonists, British soldiers Scofield and Blake, like the audience in front of the screen, didn't know what the upcoming challenge was, so they hurried on the road.

Compared with the traditional war movie, 19 17 is more like a road movie with the battlefield as the shell. Taking the western battlefield of World War I as a journey, the protagonists complete their tasks through adventure, and finally get to know themselves again and start their lives again.

Because the story happened on the battlefield, compared with the boring or repetitive scenes in the road film, the reality of the full confrontation between the British and German armies and the ruthless killing made the director realize his three major innovations.

At the beginning of the empathy story of the life scene, our eyes followed the protagonist to leave the familiar camp and move forward. Just when the audience thought everything was going step by step, what was the first emotion? Breakthrough? A hand pierced by barbed wire appeared. At that moment, most people will feel a tight heart and a dull pain in their hands. Is this the so-called? Empathy? (Empathy), our feelings with the movie protagonist tend to be consistent, and the audience officially becomes the protagonist in the story.

Empathy is an important concept of immersive experience. Empathy, as a unique ability of human beings to understand and feel other people's experiences, has a sense of immersion, which makes us unconsciously project into what we see.

We have seen many large-scale war movies, whether it is the harsh sound of shells exploding around us or the enemy rushing to kill them. As an audience born in peacetime, it is hard to imagine what those movies really want to express.

Compared to? Bloody The bloody picture in "19 17"? Cut your hand? This kind? Light stimulation? On the contrary, it can arouse our reaction more. After all, most people have the experience of cutting their hands with something. In order to make this experience more complete, the film uses a lot of similar elements, such as dust in underground bunkers and dazzling searchlights. The common elements in life are the magic weapon for directors to establish empathy in life scenes, and they are also the first creation of 19 17.

Relax the rhythm "19 17" and use the mirror to the end? Player's perspective? Although from a technical point of view, in the end, it is not really shot with a mirror, but only with special effects editing, which creates an uninterrupted feeling in expression. However, in order to establish a complete sensory experience for this presentation, 19 17 has made a lot of unobtrusive arrangements in the process of moving mirrors, role interaction and designing scene coherence, so that the audience can follow the actions of the protagonist for a long time without feeling tired.

When telling a story, movies usually switch scenes and use different plots with main lines and auxiliary lines to relax the audience's nerves. However, a movie with a mirror at the end lacks this advantage. Therefore, when filming 19 17, great efforts were made in the film process, and the rhythm was controlled through the steps of relaxation and staggered narration. For example, the protagonist will enter a relatively stable mood or state as long as he has experienced casualties. The relaxed rhythm, on the one hand, makes the audience less tired, on the other hand, deepens the connection between the screen and the outside world.

The real world "19 17" adopts the shooting style of one mirror to the end, just to simulate reality, so in many aspects of film presentation, this film has given up the traditional film? The golden rule? In the opposite direction, in order to shape the truth, he boldly made a choice. For example, the background information of the protagonist is vague, and even the actors are not outstanding. This shows the good intentions of the film. Neither of these two British first-class soldiers is a big shot. They are just nobody in the cruel war, just like the people in front of the screen. Only ordinary people can let the audience enter the role without obstacles and turn themselves into protagonists.

However, the ordinary protagonist is not always strange. As the plot progresses, the audience becomes more and more familiar with the protagonist and establishes emotional resonance with them through empathy. At the same time, other characters disappeared at a glance like the scenery outside the window. Just like our own life, except for our inner chatter, everyone else in life is just silent passers-by.

For "19 17" Show? Instead of lines or dialogues, it has reached another realm of narration. Through their own eyes, combined with their own ideas, the audience really entered a war, as if they had personally experienced a battle in World War I. Building a real world is both the sincerity of the film and its success.

The value of "19 17" There was once a view that if the past wars were polished and finally put on the big screen, there would be two problems: First, the film was full of explosions, gunshots, shouts and killings, and the content was the same, with no new ideas; Second, the contrast and praise of the hero's heroism will make people misunderstand the war and even inspire some kind of desire for war.

In view of these two questions, 19 17, as a war film expecting innovation, made an excellent answer with the film itself. Is the plot of "19 17" not good? Our greatness? , and don't deliberately outline? The enemy is cruel? But tell us with the empathy of life scenes, the relaxed rhythm and the real world? Show? Knowing the truth of the war, let us consciously give birth to a compassionate view of war.

Mixed with historical facts and feelings, 19 17 made the audience enter the world war in one day. Like two soldiers, we don't know what we will meet along the way. As ordinary people, we have no magic weapon of invulnerability, no fearless heroism, and finally we have no rations and weapons. We can only sing in the Woods with uneasy hearts.
