Chapter 604 A good movie must be able to 'hide', the most handsome teacher Bai Shiqiu
In class, Bai Shiqiu prepared a movie appreciation, but no one expected that he would give everyone an appreciation of a horror film, and it was also a horror film called "The Mist".
Generally speaking, art academies such as Beiying and Chinese Opera really talk about art, and they have their own internal reference rooms, to put it bluntly, there are many classic films and many classic films that cannot be released.
Art, as you know, sometimes art is about being bigger.
However, the horror film "The Mist" is still a horror film that is not high at the box office, and it has not won any awards, at most, it won the Best Supporting Actress at the Saturn Awards in the United States, just such a movie, but Bai Shiqiu was selected for everyone to appreciate.
What exactly is he going to say?
But the most interesting thing is that at this time, these students in the auditorium, everyone is going to eat in the film and television industry, and most of them were shocked, because many people didn't think of it, or it can be said that they forgot who made this movie.
Well, or it can be said that this "The Mist" is so bad that many people don't notice whose work it is.
Franco Darabont, Stephen King, these two are really too promising.
Let's talk about Stephen King first, he may be the most profitable writer in human history, JK Rowling can really only look at it, how profitable is Stephen King?
Let's just say that there are too many successful movies that have been adapted, such as "The Shining", and this "The Mist", which are all his "Dark Tower" series of books.
There are really too many of his works, and almost every one of them is a big hit, and many of them have become classics in film history, like working with this Darabont, "The Shawshank Redemption".
How famous is the movie "Shawshank"?
Even many of us in China pretend to know classic movies very well in order to have taste, and basically mention this film and say how awesome it is.
But sometimes, a little asking, for example, 'The actor in this movie, Shawshank, can escape, it's really amazing.'" ’
Most people with good taste will reply, 'Yes, especially the actor Shawshank howls to the sky at the end, freedom!' Freely! I'm free! ’
Such a classic car accident scene is innumerable on the current network and even in the future.
It's true, many people don't know that 'Shawshank' is the name of the prison, but this does not make them pretend.
Why do you have to pretend to be so forced? Because the rating of this "Shawshank" is very high, and the high is scary.
However, this "The Mist" is really the third collaboration between Stephen King and Drabont.
Our Chinese side is better, because this movie did not cause too many waves, and in the United States, this film was sprayed even worse, not only the box office was very bad, but also it didn't get anything to talk about, and many people's comments were also very unbearable.
Of course, some people say that this movie is a rare masterpiece.
It's just that there are relatively few people in this part, and now, there is another person who is lecturing.
"If I say that this movie is a very rare film, I don't know what everyone will think?" Bai Shiqiu said so in his own class.
At this point, there was no one in the auditorium to speak.
All the classmates, whether they are Chinese opera or Beiying, those who are already famous or not, the big girls and boys, and the future big stars, stop talking.
One sentence can describe the current situation.
Quietly watched Teacher Bai Shiqiu pretending to be forced.
Of course, Bai Shiqiu knew very well in his heart that he was really lecturing.
"Students, this movie is indeed a horror movie, that's right, but if you only look at it from the perspective of a horror movie, it's okay to watch it scary, it's okay. But if we change the posture and we look at the film with a kind of discovery, or a detective approach, it will be different. ”
Bai Shiqiu's teaching has now truly become a teaching.
"First of all, let's take a look at this place, which is the scene where the male protagonist David first gets up close and personal with monsters."
The "Mist" that was just played was selected by Bai Shiqiu.
This is the fog just covered the entire supermarket, and David found that the generator was not working, as if something was blocked, so he found a repairman and a supermarket waiter, a total of four men, they came to repair the generator, but there was a little young guy, he kept sarcastically mocking the male protagonist David was too timid, instigating one.
Later, of course, it was this little young man who hung up and was dragged out by a tentacle, but fortunately, everyone cut off a section of the tentacles, but there was still no way to save people.
But what is here?
Bai Shiqiu said, "The male protagonist is a poster, he can be said to be a social elite, and the supermarket repairman and waiter, these three men continue to provoke and ridicule the male protagonist, in fact, it is a reaction of the social class, can you see it?" ”
The students looked at it and listened to it, and finally found a little truth.
The protagonist's big house, with a car, still paints, and the black lawyer who lives next to his house is a symbol of the elite, and those who mock and provoke, they are the bottom slings.
What does this reflect?
Usually American society is like this, the bottom sling is okay and goes to the street to hold a sign or something, but what is the result?
Look, don't listen to the elite, get eaten by monsters.
"The two classes are antagonistic and contradictory, so they conflict with each other here, but the final result also reflects the social reality of the United States...... That's really joyful. ”
Bai Shiqiu's words......
No, the students couldn't help but laugh quietly.
"Okay, next one." Bai Shiqiu continued to grab.
It was the turn of the black lawyer.
The black lawyer is a social elite who drives a Mercedes sports car, but this man, from the very beginning, does not believe in this whole incident, he keeps saying that it is all fake, fake.
"Actually, this represents a part of the people, that is, the diehards in the elite class of American society, in short, they can be regarded as the Republican Party." Bai Shiqiu's words are very simple, but they seem to be ......
That's, isn't it?
Can you see this?
Bai Shiqiu saw everyone's disbelief, so he had to explain, "First of all, the mainstream thinking in the United States, in our opinion, is all rightists, but there are two sides in the right, one is the Democratic Party and the other is the Republican Party, they are both rightists, but the Republican Party has always been known for its stubbornness and stubbornness, so in the movie, this black lawyer, like everyone, saw strange things happen, but he still didn't believe it, this is a kind of irony, it is the irony of the screenwriter and director." ”
In this way, it can really be explained.
But soon, this part of the stubborn people was killed, killed by monsters.
At this time, a woman appeared, and she was a woman who talked about God all about it, but later, she formed a cult.
At first, it was okay, but a group of low-level slings were fooled by this woman, but later, under extreme flickering, they began to make sacrifices.
There were three American GIs, who showed up at the beginning, but, when they returned, two of them committed suicide directly.
The last one left, under the persecution of this woman, who had become a goddess at this time, told the truth.
The military did an experiment, hoping to open a channel from another dimension, and as a result, these monsters came.
But what about that?
The GI was thrown outside the supermarket and sacrificed.
Bai Shiqiu's explanation came again, "The United States is a country that believes in God the most, and there are many characters like this goddess here, such as this line. ”
"This Ms. Kamaty is our Jim Jones now......"
"Jim Jones is the cult leader of the United States."
Then, several other characters spoke.
"Yes, the more people are frightened, the more demagogic her words become."
"Her set is useless to the old lady!"
This is a conversation between the male protagonist David and his companions, that is, they have seen what the woman is going to do, what she is doing, how terrifying she is as a goddess.
And the line, "Those monsters are no longer terrible enemies of sin." ”
So......
"They're Democrats." Bai Shiqiu defined it like this, "American society is like this, the two parties, the Republican Party is the right of the right, and the Democratic Party, relatively speaking, they are smarter, this is true, many smart people, especially scientists, are mostly Democrats." However, the people at the bottom are the slings, who do they prefer to believe? Religion. ”
Bai Shiqiu explained, Huo, this "Mist" has changed all of a sudden.
On the surface, this is a horror film with science fiction colors, but after changing this perspective, it is very appropriate and interesting to interpret the supermarket as a small American society.
But what about the ending?
By the way, the ending of this movie is what is really scolded by everyone, because this ending is too.
Bai Shiqiu said with a smile: "In the original book, the ending is not like this, but now, the movie is like this, a very uncomfortable ending, but you must know that Stephen King is in the crew, this ending, he nodded, so why did he do this?" ”
At the end of "The Mist", it is really scolding, the actor shot and killed all the people around him, a total of five people, but there were only 4 bullets left, and there was his own son among them. Moreover, the combination of these five people, two are old men, an old lady and an old man, and a woman, who is not the wife of the male protagonist, is played by Laurie Houden, but this combination is a basic family.
"It's really intentional, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? This group of people symbolizes a basic family unit, and the male protagonist, who kills all the others, himself later, is ...... It seems that if you wait one more minute, this tragedy will not happen, right? So, why do you have to shoot like this? ”
Bai Shiqiu's question made the students scratch their ears and cheeks, according to the current situation, everyone didn't dare to answer, for fear of being slapped in the face by the teacher.
And some of my classmates...
"Do you know why?" Nazha had been listening attentively, and she dared to say that she had never heard such a novel and interesting class.
It's really unthinkable, every thought of Mr. Bai has unexpected and strange changes, and it is especially co-produced with this movie.
However, she asked about Shinoreba.
"......" Xiaoreba thought for a while, revealing an inexplicable smile.
Nazha couldn't help complaining, "Your acting skills are too fake!" ”
"Hehe......" Xiaoreba had to scratch her head, but she was complaining in her heart, if I knew the answer to my stinky brother's question, then I wouldn't be my brother, how could I be suppressed by this stinky guy, hum!
didn't say anything, and couldn't say it, but at this time, Bai Shiqiu pointed out.
"Tell me about it."
The goal is Tian Tian.
"This ......" Tian Tian held back for a long time, blushing, "I don't know!" ”
This is angry, Mr. Bai, you are too much, you are careful!
Well, this can't be said, Tian Tian just sat down directly, which can be regarded as a small revenge.
Bai Shiqiu didn't dwell on this, "Give you a hint, such an ending is very powerful, it can be said that it is absolutely shocking, tragedy is what can really be remembered for a lifetime, and the tragic ending of this movie at the end is even more of an existence that makes people scold their mother, and they will definitely remember it for a lifetime." ”
So did this tip work?
"Teacher Bai, we really can't guess, you can just say the answer." A female classmate got up and said, she is still very beautiful, her name is Yang Xiaoyu.
Some look like Yamaguchi Momoe, and some look like fairy buns.
Bai Shiqiu didn't look at it much, and simply said: "Actually, the answer is what I thought, this ending is indeed very powerful, very strong, and more shocking than the original book, but the degree of deliberateness is also obvious, so I think the purpose is very important, that is, I want to win the award." ”
Want to win a prize?
Is that all?
Everyone's total...... There's some truth to that.
The ending of "The Mist" is absolutely super bizarre and super shocking, really and very deliberate, it can be said that the director must shoot like this.
Why?
What else?
"The Shawshank Redemption" also has an alias, that is, the Oscar owes her an award.
"The Miracle of the Green Mile" also has an alias, and it hates the Oscars.
Anyway, they haven't won an award, so this "The Mist" is the third collaboration between Deraponde and Stephen King, will they want to win the award?
Don't you need to ask, this is something you don't need to ask, of course you have to win the prize.
After this answer came out, the audience burst into laughter, and the students couldn't help it, they really felt that Mr. Bai's class was really interesting.
"But!"
Suddenly, Bai Shiqiu stopped drinking.
"Students, now the question is, think about it, why did I take out this movie alone? What is my purpose in talking about her? ”
As soon as this question arose, the auditorium was silenced again.
It turns out that this is the real problem of Mr. Bai, and it turns out that this is the point.
Suddenly, Nazha had a feeling as if she had opened her mind, and she thought of something, but she was not sure.
This feeling, this feeling is like......
Bai Shiqiu saw that everyone didn't know how to answer, so he said with a smile: "This "Mist" has similarities with "Let the Bullets Fly", which is currently being screened, that is, many things are put in the story of the movie, and they are melted into it, so that people can't see it for a while, but it makes everyone want to guess." This is the most interesting thing about movies, and it is also what I want to tell you today, what should be paid attention to in a good movie, that is, to learn and hide. ”
Zang is just one word, and many students who have understood, or who have opened their minds, understand it at once.
And Bai Shiqiu continued: "The movie "The Mist" is hidden, but it is too deep and has not been accepted by the mainstream people, what the director wants to talk about, only some individuals with ulterior motives, such as me, can find out, this is actually a failure, but the movie is attentive. Our "Let the Bullets Fly" is also hidden, and it is also hidden very deeply, but now it seems that everyone is still acceptable, so I am ashamed to say that we have succeeded. That's why I took out this "The Mist", I want to tell you, tell everyone here, whether it is a future actor, director or screenwriter, what is a good movie, what should a good movie do, in fact, "The Mist" is definitely a good movie, I hope everyone can understand this. ”
After speaking, he ended the lesson and bowed to his classmates.
And so the applause came out.
Bang Bang Bang ......
Many students were even moved by Bai Shiqiu, and burst into tears while clapping their hands.
And Nazha suddenly understood, she understood, this time Teacher Bai's lecture itself embodies this word, hidden.
Hide what you want to express ...
But there's more to her heart than that......
Wow! Teacher Bai is so handsome! Handsome! Handsome fart!
