Chapter 260: It's Love
"This shot is so special!"
In my heart, I think of a very special person.
Russ von Trier, who shocked the European film industry with a few friends last year.
The Dogma95 Declaration, a combination of the word and the number, means 'the '95 Commandments', or more so 'the 1995 Ordinances of Cinema'.
Now, this dogma95 is called the 'Ten Commandments' by European and American filmmakers, which means that there are ten precepts, each of which is related to movies, but it sounds a little strange and fanatical.
A brief mention of the last one will give you an idea of how fanatical it is.
Film directors should not be on the staff list.
This meaning is actually easy to understand, that is, the director of the film must be very special, and they should not be ordinary staff.
Of course, maybe this understanding is also incorrect, anyway, we have to listen to the explanation of this Russ von Trier.
This man is too fanatical, for the movie, but also for his life.
This year, he brought "Breaking the Waves", no matter what this movie is about, it must have something to do with his personal style.
Now, seeing this "April Story", Lars von Trier feels very unusual.
That shot just now is really ...... Simple!
However, it is very attractive.
There is nothing special about that scene at all, anyone can see that it is the family seeing off, and it is easy to feel that they are saying goodbye to their loved ones.
Looking at the expressions on their faces, it was easy to think that they should be bidding farewell to the younger members of the family.
Because this is not the kind of look for the older members, as long as there is a life, they must understand.
But these are the simple, but they give people a very strong difference!
There were no superfluous depictions, no superfluous lines, and even Russ von Trier couldn't understand Japanese and couldn't read which English was clear, but he just figured it out!
So, is it still simple?
Moreover, from the perspective of the camera, it can be determined almost instantly that the person who was sent off is the protagonist.
When the hand appeared, it was determined that the protagonist was a woman.
But, what's really important is that this hand seems to be able to speak!
Dogma95 declared people, he clearly felt the heroine's reluctance at this moment.
It's just amazing, you know, there aren't any lines, and even if there are, he can't understand them.
But I just felt it.
It's amazing, it's really amazing, and it's all taken from the perspective of common human emotions.
Lars von Trier had already made sure that he did not leave directly, and that he had made the right choice.
......
Regarding the first shot, Coppola, the great director and the chairman of the jury this year, already knew about it before.
This family is a well-known Kabuki family in Japan, and they have been in contact with Japan before, after all, this is the quintessence of Japan.
The family took such a shot, it should be said that the shooting was very good.
Or...... It's really good.
You know, in fact, Coppola was a little angry with the person who supervised the grass before.
So what kind of social phobia is simply an excuse to make random excuses.
However, it is a little too special for a filmmaker not to want to come to the Cannes Film Festival.
Coppola is also a maverick, I didn't expect someone to be more maverick than him, so what is this person's work?
There were geeks like Ras von Trier in Europe before, but what about Japan this time?
Coppola didn't have a very good impression of the film, but after the first scene of "April Story" passed, he almost forgot what he had talked to Yuki Kusano.
This film is a film that needs to be quieted down and savored.
That's right, it's really strange that just one shot gave him such an idea.
Is that Yuki Kusano a genius?
Coppola wanted to know what would happen next, at least the heroine of the movie, what would she really look like?
Interestingly, she took the train from the countryside to the big city, probably to Tokyo, and then to a new room, which was obviously rented by her, because there was nothing but tatami mats on the floor.
But even at this point, I still haven't seen the heroine's face!
Coppola even wanted to laugh, but he also felt a few aspects.
Although I didn't see the heroine's face, I saw the hand before, and now, in the room, I saw the heroine's back.
She was wearing a heavier dress, but judging from the back, she should be quite cute.
The hands were clean before, and now they are cute.
So it's clean and cute, isn't it?
So, what does this mean?
Coppola believes that there must be a reason for this, and it will definitely not mess around.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the heroine's face to finally appear.
Because the moving company came and sent things.
......
At the premiere of "......", Ryoko and Kuniko also came.
It's just that the two of them don't understand it well now.
Why did Ernie chan shoot the woman Takako Matsu like this?
I didn't let her show up for a long time, but now, I finally let her face come out.
Is Takako Matsu pretty?
It should be said that it is not ugly.
But, it's definitely not the amazing type!
The two girls were absolutely sure of it, and that's what they both thought anyway.
So, if that face is not stunning, why arrange it like this?
I don't understand, I really don't understand.
Well, the two of them are looking forward to their appearance even more now.
When will this Matsu Takako go to the movies?
......
Unlike the two girls, Sakai Masato also came to Cannes this time, and to be honest, he wanted to see his brother's movie more.
After all, I contributed to the head of the moon generation, but fortunately, now the hair has grown.
After the head of the moon generation, he simply shaved a perfect bald head.,This image,I once inadvertently met Miho Kanno.,As a result, I unexpectedly gained her smile.。
Thank you, brother! Thank you very much!
Sakai Masato completely attributed this accident to Yuki Kusano, and I'm afraid the latter will also thank Busen.
Now, Masato Sakai is really fully committed to this movie.
He had heard it very clearly before, and what his brother said was that this movie was very simple, and it would be difficult for such a movie to win awards.
But even so, Sakai Masato is looking forward to it, and what I'm seeing right now...
Why, I feel that this movie should win an award?
So far, as my brother said, this movie is very simple.
It's just a story about a girl who came to Tokyo from the countryside and was a freshman at a university and ready to go to school.
That's all, what else?
At least not yet.
However, judging from the footage of the house that has just moved, it is very 'warm'.
Sakai Masato feels like this, he feels the warmth, Takako Matsu's smile may not be so beautiful, but it is very gentle, she moves things with the movers, and there is a very joyful warmth.
is worthy of being an elder brother, just such a trivial thing can be filmed so well.
But what's the point of these shots or stories?
The only thing that can make Sakai Masato feel is that the heroine Takako Matsu has come to a new environment, and she is trying to fit in.
After she moved, she also gave gifts to her neighbors, which is a Japanese custom.
But overall, Matsu's smile still seems a little rigid.
Is she pushing herself?
Wait a minute, there's the most critical question.
Brother played the leading role in this movie, although it is not a one, but that 'senior' is definitely a key role.
The elder brother is not showing up in Cannes, and he wants to maintain his mystery.
But didn't he star in the movie, how can he maintain a sense of mystery?
Sakai Masato couldn't figure out this problem, and this made him focus on this movie even more.
......
When Takako Matsu saw herself, she was inexplicably very emotional.
"I'm finally here!" Yuki Kusano must have done it on purpose, and no matter what his purpose was, Takako Matsu wanted to be angry.
However, after seeing what I look like, I feel pretty good.
So, the worrying situation came.
Is your performance really enough?
At this time, the father who was sitting next to her gently patted the back of her hand, and this action made Matsutako's eyes moisten instantly.
Maybe my father was a little too much and had to recruit that Kusanoyuki, but my father still loved him very much.
No, everyone in the family is very good to themselves, they all know, in this movie they only have one previous scene, but they still went to Hokkaido and shot such a scene.
It takes several times as long to travel as it does to perform.
I don't know why, tears slipped down.
At this time, the girl on the screen, Miyue, has already started her new life, college life.
It turned out that more than once, Yuki Kusano took advantage of the perspective of the girl Mitsuki.
The previous farewell, and the later university opening ceremony.
Mitsuki got to know many new classmates again, but that's what she said when she introduced herself.
"Cheerful personality. ”
Are you sure?
In fact, she didn't have a good time making friends, after all, this is a university, and many people have a certain background.
There is a rich returnee girl in the class, who studied in the United States in high school, and her English pronunciation is very good.
There is also a rich second generation in the class, and I always want to pick up girls, but unfortunately I was rejected by a returnee girl.
Miserable.
So, what about Mitsuki?
She unexpectedly joined a fishing club.
At a university in Japan, she always had to participate in club activities, but she met good people here, and finally got better.
However, many of the things she said obviously had that feeling of laxity.
It's like she's not an honest child, but she has a very sincere smile.
It's strange, why is this happening?
However, despite this strangeness, the story of the movie "April Story" is also too simple.
I went to watch the movie in the middle of the moon.,The time-traveler Nobunaga appeared.,And two girls.,The two of them just seemed to be bored and kept talking there.。
There's also a movie.,This movie doesn't give the full picture.,But it seems to be two women in.。。。
Anyway, it's all weird, it's weird.
Is that all there is to this movie?
Even, Takako Matsu was a little worried.
Is such a story really okay?
Won't the audience get bored?
But at this time, there were some changes in the moon on the big screen.
A person appeared, a photograph to be exact, but it was not clear what the person looked like.
"The senior also came to Musashino. ”
"Oh, really?"
"Yes, the senior works in a bookstore, by the way, don't you know that there is a bookstore in the school?"
"Really?"
Former high school classmates met Mitsuki, and the two chatted about their seniors.
Does Mitsuki really not know?
No, she had been to a bookstore before, but in the bookstore, she met a girl, and Mitsuki asked some things, such as: Are you the only one who works part-time?
Yes, that's the problem.
So, what is it?
Finally one day, Mitsuki went to the bookstore again, and it was still that bookstore.
And there, she saw a boy, this boy was very tall, Mitsuki didn't see his face clearly, and even, she immediately turned around and ran away.
So what is it?
When Masato Sakai saw this, he instantly understood.
Brother is here!
The same goes for Ryoko and Kuniko.
That's right, Yuki Kusano appeared, however, Yuki Kusano's face did not appear on the screen.
In other words, the senior appeared, but the Kusano supervisor was still mysterious.
But...
What the hell is this?
Coppola, as a great director, was inexplicably attracted by this paragraph, and he didn't understand Japanese, although he could read English subtitles.
But in this paragraph, he doesn't need to understand the lines at all, because this is...
"It's love!"
Russ von Trier couldn't help but burst out at this moment.
As a fanatical dogma95 proclamator, he showed great enthusiasm at the moment.
Maybe it's rude, but yes, it's love.
