Chapter 358: Analysis
This is followed by a scene where he urinates in the toilet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info first gives a close-up of a water pipe dripping, and then immediately a close-up of the upper right part of his face: his face is densely covered with beads of sweat, and a bean-sized one is flowing down his forehead and across the corner of his eye. This is followed by a close-up of the upper body on the left side, and he seems to have given up his efforts, leaning forward and slamming his head against the wall, this impact sound seems to be like a play button, and the background music is playing, soothing, sad.
At this time, he hit his head against the wall again and again, his face expression was extremely painful, and after hitting it three times, he kicked and smashed the urinal in front of him, and the water splashed, and we saw his distorted face in the mirror, and heard him yell at his face: "You can't pee, you fool." Then he smashed the mirror with a punch.
The background music is still soothing, sad, and the sound of the erhu, like a bystander, full of compassion and a warm gaze looking at the man in front of him in many difficulties. This is one of the very few emotional scenes in the movie, and it is this very accidental non-comedy scene that also has the power to penetrate people's hearts, which also brings the film an extraordinary temperament. It is precisely because of the long and sporadic foreshadowing of his physical problems that in the end, when he can finally pour a thousand miles, we feel that he seems to have finally completed the double redemption of physical and psychological reasons.
The other actors are also wonderful, so this film has a certain characteristic of Tang Caizi's films: the supporting roles are also outstanding. For example, the black skin that is too lazy to go around in circles and always wants to go directly to it, such as Xiaojun who talks about "professionalism" with his mouth closed, and Mike who is full of cold humor, the simple and rough but full of righteousness, the versatile sissy security guard, etc., etc., each supporting role has distinctive characteristics that are unforgettable, and it can be said that any character will have his own classic quotations and fans, so this movie is really a group drama, with prominent points and a hundred flowers. ”
"I don't know if others have noticed, but I was fascinated by the soundtrack inside, not to mention the song "Forget Love Water" or "I Love Your Beautiful Girl" and the special song "Erquan Reflecting the Moon", here I will only talk about a soundtrack composed of Peking Opera watermelon peels.
This piece of music appears three times, the first time when the camera of the three teams of people is preparing for the event to show their activities, which sets off the slightly tense atmosphere on the eve of the big war; The second time I appeared in Baotou and received a call from Brother Dao, the two of them were ready to move before the joint under the street lamp, at this time there was not only music but also the sound of chanting scriptures with music, the atmosphere at this time was sabre-rattling, desperate and even tragic and tragic, both of them thought that this was their last chance.
The third time was when the jade was stolen for the first time in the temple, that made me feel a little like peeing, I never knew that the original Peking Opera soundtrack composition was so sharp, I think Tang Caizi spent a lot of thought for this soundtrack, which also made me particularly curious about Peking Opera, did I miss too many good things before.
But this also makes me more and more admired Tang Caizi, it is said that his grades in college were not very good, but no one thought that such a guy could be able to penetrate things and things, not only did Western music play well, but now the traditional culture of the Ming Dynasty is still very good. ”
"The investment is only 30 million, there is no big-name star, and there is no pre-publicity, but it has miraculously caused a sensation in the entire Daming film circle, and many so-called blockbusters can only obediently stand aside in front of this movie. I call it a victory for the common people - except for Tang Yin and a few cameos, the others are the original grassroots actors.
A stone that suddenly popped out of a pit turned out to be a priceless jade. And this also happens to foreshadow the legendary fate of "Crazy Stone" itself. Whether the stone is real or not, in short, a crazy story begins.
The factory director and his son, the security section chief and his attendants, the thief and his accomplices, the real estate dealer and the international thief, are skillfully combined. Whether it is plot design, language structure, or perspective selection, it is all unique and ingenious. For example, the proper expression of dialect and black humor, and the creative use of time and space reversal techniques all add a lot to the film.
The significance of this film is, of course, more than that. The success of "Crazy Stone" is a kind of return, a return to art and culture. Although the filming technology used in the film is trendy and avant-garde, it reflects the real activities and thoughts of the little people, and has a strong sense of life. Culture and art are rooted in the masses and should not be the preserve of the aristocracy, nor should they become difficult and esoteric arguments.
"Crazy Stone" uses a lot of dialects and witty life dialogues, the narrative is concise and clear, it does not pose high-minded, does not pretend to be profound, and does not deliberately render, which makes this film friendly and easy, and is quickly accepted by the public. From the bones, the positioning or attitude of the film itself towards art and culture is the key factor to its success.
Not only that, but "Crazy Stone" also promotes a simple social value. The characters in the film all have distinct personalities, and they all have their own moral standards. Lao Bao is a very ordinary character, and even has certain physical defects, but he has a strong sense of responsibility and justice, retains loyalty to the factory from beginning to end, and treats his fiancée without deception, these advantages make an ordinary security chief the most glorious image in the film.
For the benefit of the employees, Director Xie stubbornly adheres to a factory on the verge of closure, which also has a high personality charm (but he later compromised with a real estate developer, at the beginning I thought this change was a bit too abrupt, which was one of the failures of the film, but after a closer look, in fact, this place is still excessive. When the four eyes appeared, the situation of the factory had already been explained, and then the employees of the factory were still insisting on it except for the buns, painting at work, and not working without working, which was actually already announcing the fate of the factory).
And the two gangs of thieves, one is an international thief and the other is a local thief, with different backgrounds, but the two gangs also have their own characteristics in terms of ideology, which is very delicate. For a scoundrel like Xie Xiaomeng under the guise of art, the film also gives a strong irony. In addition, the laughter and anger of the characters in the film, as well as the hatred of emotions, are also allusions to social values. (To be continued.) )
