Although it was old enough to watch movies according to the list, I saw Ryusuke Hamaguchi and "What Do We See When We Look Up at the Sky?" Appeared on the top ten of the year in "Sight and Hearing", or decided to write a recommendation aimlessly.
"Sight and Hear" 2021 Top Ten Movies List
Georgian movie "What Do We See When We Look Up at the Sky?" The first thing that caught the eye was at the Berlin International Film Festival in early 2021, when it won the most high-profile side prize: the Fabisi Prize (International Film Critics Union Award) in the main competition section.
In addition to seemingly a popular feature title of a Japanese film, films from small countries and unpopular regions are difficult to attract sustained attention. Small means fluctuating ups and downs, uneven production, and overall, lack of exposure on international platforms.
More than half a year later, "What Do We See When We Look Up at the Sky?" It first won the special praise of roberto Rossellini at the Pingyao International Film Festival, and then entered the annual top ten films list of "Sight and Hearing" magazine.
However, this film is not a superb Cheng Biting Jin, on the contrary, in the screening scene in Pingyao, many Douban fans think that it is unknown and difficult to enter. A large part of the film, as the bad reviewers put it, is extremely loose and has no story threads to speak of.
What Do We See When We Look Up at the Sky? The video film of the prose diary body is a very special film of the very period. The director who does not show his face in real life invites fans from all over the world, including mainland movies, as long as he starts watching my movies, everyone is a good friend - he is like the director of "Big Buddha Plus", Ayao, who coldly appears in a voiceover, participates in his own film, invites everyone to do games together, "3, 2, 1, please close your eyes when it is dark" - please close your eyes after the terrifying prompt tone, and open your eyes after hearing the prompt tone again. Interestingly, the PYIFF topic movie "Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department" also played such a video game, and immediately fell into the countryside of a roadside picnic, a strange world.
Together, these facts tell us time and time again that some films can only belong to the cinema. Even in the later "The Last Night of the Earth", Bi Gan also adopted the movie-watching prompt of wearing 3D glasses in the middle. But there is no need to go to "Dune", where 3D technology is shouted at by the whole people, this kind of gameplay only makes me more resistant to 3D films that raise movie ticket prices.
When the director invites the audience to participate in the game, you can easily cooperate, and you may also feel that the ghost horse, what kind of thing is not taken seriously, at this time, you will notice some commotion in the field around you. Naturally, some people are willing to cooperate, as long as they enter the movie theater, they give everything they have to the movie. Some people are cold-eyed, preferring to open their eyes wide, waiting to see how pitiful this wild road director is juggling and cowardly.
In this way, the couples they met in the city were cursed by the evil eye, changed their original appearance, and saw it every day but missed it. What Do We See When We Look Up at the Sky? Soon after the opening, a watershed was created. Some people are engaged and enjoy the sunshine of the small town, some people find that the story is out of focus, the direction is off, and the cats and dogs are out.
The movie left such a thing, there is a head, of course, there must be a tail (in fact, slowly it is easy to guess). But in the middle, up to two hours, it talks about dogs in the small town, world cup matches broadcast, riverside cafes selling ice cream and beer, hanging horizontal bars to harvest IQ taxes are games that men have survived for 120 seconds. The town seems to be in an endless, too long, endless summer.
This year's Pingyao is also a festival for Argentine fans, including the tragic song "Argentina Don't Cry for Me" in "Yong'an Town Story Collection" and "What Do We See When We Look Up at the Sky?" " put on a song "Italian Summer" and let the team win the world championship.
This one has made me say more than once, "I want to live in this movie" and "I want to go abroad to play!" "The city, called Kutaisi (PYIFF subtitle translates to Kutaisi), is the third largest city in Georgia (the first largest city is the capital Tbilisi, and the second largest city is Batumi, which I appeared in the film review of "Platform"). The film also reminds me of the Spanish film of the Tao Saucer era fourteen years ago: "In the City of Sylvia".
At the beginning of the Pingyao Film Festival screening, the director recorded a PYIFF customized greeting video of "You can't see me, but I am really here", and this idea of combining knowledge and practice with the film is already worth adding a star to it. It touched me in a factual sense. When the plague spreads, the living become invisible ghosts. The outside world, obstructed, isolated, reduced to lying flat, failing, incomprehensibly dangerous places. And the meaning of this film, or film festival, is telling us exactly what the world is. It will survive like a movie, and it will always be.
The story of the three Caucasus countries and football is, of course, not just the warm face of summer in the movie. It also has a bloody and cruel side. To the south of Georgia, in the Nagorno-Karabakh region (Nagorno-Karabakh), armenia and Azerbaijan fought endlessly, there is a city of Agdam that was destroyed by the war, razed to the ground, and has not yet recovered. Agdam has a football team in Karabakh, and its home emirates stadium was built in 1952 and later became the "Museum of War Ruins" that remains to this day along with the Great Mosque and the entire city. The Karabakh team, which lost its home stadium, settled in Baku temporarily, but in the Azerbaijan Super League, it became more and more courageous and played in UEFA matches.
Also in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, belonging to Armenia, the Stepanakt football team in the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh was once a powerful team in Soviet football and was banned from international matches. Today, there is a lack of funding and the record is shrinking.
Football is rolling around the world, and the war in the Nagorno-Karabakh region continues. There are Karabakhs who speak out to kill all Armenians, naked ethnic provocations. There are also tragic stories of Armenians who, because of their small population and the shortage of troops in the army, have to take off their jerseys and put on military uniforms to go to the front. Spectators and spectators outside the two sides of the match hope that this game can shake hands and make peace, rather than dividing the winners and losers. However, today's world should be overwhelmed, intertwined with thousands of years of hatred and blood and tears, it seems difficult to dissolve in this generation. Under the Caucasus Mountains, the Eurasian nagorno-Karabakh region remains neglected, too marginal and too complex.
The Christmas Truce during World War I (the story of the 2005 French film Merry Christmas) also featured football. At that time, the British and German sides had been in the Belgian town of Saint-Yon on the Western Front, exchanging fire for more than a month. On Christmas Day, the army chose an armistice. A Scottish officer kicked out a ball, and then, in a friendly atmosphere, the opposing sides played a football match.
These football broadcasts that have nothing to do with the movie are indeed as ignorant as the movie in the eyes of some fans. However, the human story that knows how to roll is still rolling, and may take you to the target and participate in this video game. You'll see more on the movie screen.
