Chapter 448: Real Awesome!
With the shooting, Ding Cheng became more and more shocked in the face of the history of that year.
In the United States in the 70s, the workplace was completely man's world, women could only work as operators or secretaries, childbirth was their capital, and they had to face discrimination from commercial advertising.
In 1970, the cigarette brand Tipalet wrote in its advertising slogan: "Blow a cigarette in her face and she will listen to you."
In 1972, the women's *** movement had little success, and the leather shoe manufacturer put out an advertising poster, suggesting that women were playthings who would surrender for a pair of shoes.
"Mad Men" is set in the United States in the sixties and seventies, when a female secretary first joins the company, she is surrounded by three tall men in the elevator, and she has to endure all kinds of harassment and molestation.
The beautiful name is a female secretary, who is nothing more than a tea and water. Because men don't believe, these women will be just as thoughtful and capable as they are.
So when the camera pans across the newsroom, it's full of newspapers, papers, and men sitting at typewriters, and women are pitifully few.
In the press industry at that time, most of the directors were men, not to mention the top leaders. So when the heroine took office, many editors and reporters jumped ship one after another.
That was 1971!
To face the hair, or not to send it?
She swallowed, and the man surrounded her, demanding to hide the truth for the company's sake. I was probably too nervous to say three Go ahead in a row.
Ding Cheng's most common picture is that she is surrounded by a group of men, several times, and she stops talking.
Having morning tea with his subordinates, he subconsciously rubbed his hands and said cautiously: I think our female readers are losing, you can focus on women's ......
Before he finished speaking, he was robbed by the other party: Catherine, don't dictate my work.
Momentarily stunned, a swallowing motion, and then pinned his face......
I went to a meeting with investors, and she was the only woman in the whole large conference room.
The men said one after another, and she muttered for a long time, and as soon as she spat out a word, she was stopped by the man in the next seat, shouting not to dwell on this. I had no choice but to silence, watch others speak, and then laugh in agreement.
Dressed in dressing gowns, he stood in the middle of a group of men discussing whether or not to send the classified Pentagon document. The men were arguing and arguing, and they didn't leave her a chance to speak out.
When I stepped up the steps, I noticed that there were female clerks standing outside the door. When the door was opened, all the high-ranking male officials who broke into the field of vision were men.
Two shots, the difference is immediate.
As Catherine waited in line for an appeal, a black woman with a file box passed by. She was short and thin, working for the government, but she looked up at Catherine with a determined gaze: I want you to win.
There is also the editor-in-chief's daughter, whose first appearance is to sell lemonade next to her door for 25 cents a glass.
Seven or eight years old, with a ponytail and a self-made brand behind it. Laboriously pick up the kettle and pour the lemonade into the cup for someone else. I didn't have to do this kind of thing, after all, I had a father who was the editor-in-chief.
But he still stacked the money he earned one by one and handed it to his mother. At this moment, she is not anyone's daughter at all, but a young independent woman.
What Ding Cheng admires the most is the male protagonist's wife, when the female protagonist gave an order and decided to publish, the reporters went in and out of the editor-in-chief's house, worked in the living room, and the documents were spread all over the floor. They have to meet the deadline and extract the most important information to edit it.
At this moment, she quietly counted the number of people by the door, determining how many servings of mustard turkey and horseradish roast beef to prepare. Then he took the plate and bent down to ask everyone what they needed.
Behind her, in the hallway, was her daughter, who was alone carrying a heavy billboard back home.
After putting all the food on the table, standing quietly in the kitchen, watching the men in the dining room talk loudly, without saying a word, without showing their edge.
Women are responsible for all the household chores, and men demand absolute loyalty from them, not even allowing a salesman to come into the house to drink.
The guests dispersed, and in the dead of night, she began to make sculptures. The male protagonist proudly showed off that the Pentagon Papers could be published, and her first reaction was: Catherine is so brave.
The male protagonist frowned and asked rhetorically: "I'm not brave?"
She lowered her head and continued to fiddle with her sculpture, and whispered: In a position where many people do not recognize her, she has been said countless times that she is not good enough and ignored, so she risked her life to make this decision, and I think she is braver.
At this time, men realized the contribution of women, the contribution of all women in that era!
This is what shocked Ding Cheng, although it is a biographical film, it is given a sense of rhythm and entertainment by the director, and it is not a serious pure biopic based on reality.
In the use of audiovisual language, Spielberg still has his own ingenuity.
Strictly positioning himself and the audience in the position of the observer rather than the participant, the whole process does not allow the audience to use the perspective of the character, but moderately adopts the third-party perspective to follow up on the process of each thing.
Every time there is a certain turning point, when the key character who causes the plot twist appears, the camera will first be on the side, the height is about the position of the character's chest, and the panorama is parallel to the character, and the camera is slightly undulating, much like a living third person from the side following the character in parallel and rapid forward, and then the camera slowly walks behind the character, and follows the character into a certain room from behind, watching something happen.
Always watch the progress of this matter step by step from the perspective of a third party, and watch the characters fight against themselves, their opponents, and their rights.
The audience is completely from an objective point of view to observe the choices of the characters, and although there is no sense of participation, such a lens setting will make the audience have an involuntary sense of judgment and scrutiny.
Various scenes alternate, the rhythm is controlled, there are no redundant shots and settings, and the wonderful combination of character creation and director arrangement and editing makes each character very individual.
can show the background of the times in commercial films, depict the ups and downs of human nature, and highlight the brilliance of the profession......
This is called real awesome!
