The new issue of "Let's Shoot" is coming, and the "Feng Hai's Dream" directed by director Hao Jie has caused great controversy.
Some people feel that this is self-deprecating, too self-expressive, and does not resonate with the general audience, and some people feel that this is very advanced, thoughtful, and connotative.
So the question is, is a movie that people can understand a good movie, or a movie that people can't understand is a good movie? Or why did this short film polarize word of mouth among critics and audiences?
Before answering this question, let's talk about "Feng Hai's Dream", in the film, Feng Hai is a cow, honest and honest, and has no wife.
Wang Feng wanted to be a cow, but when he was a cow, he wanted to be a sheep, and he was not led away, but ran all over the mountains. The dog is a bystander, looking at the confusion, attempts, and pursuits of the characters from its point of view.
The goose is a passerby, because the composition of life, there are parties, participants, bystanders, naturally there are passers-by who have nothing to do with the parties, and these elements together are a complete whole.
Life is lived by two people, but life is lived by a group of people.
In "Feng Hai's Dream", Hao Jie replaces the role with animal imagery to interpret Feng Hai's dream, he has lived most of his life alone and wants to have a home.
So he imagined the things around him as the composition of the home, but he was surrounded only by cows, dogs, geese, and sheep, and they became them.
But because all this is not real, so they can not become real people, even in Feng Hai's dream, they are still animals, only Wang Feng is real, but Wang Feng also left him.
This kind of departure is Wang Feng's confusion and attempt, and it is also Feng Hai's pursuit.
This pursuit is explaining a problem, that is, "where should I go", Wang Feng and Feng Hai have not experienced it, fantasizing about beauty, and once they have experienced it, they want to escape.
However, there are too many blanks in the short film "Feng Hai's Dream".
The short film has no ups and downs, no conflicts and contradictions, let people see in the clouds, there is no pleasure, and ordinary audiences definitely do not like it.
Film critics watch movies to be picky, ordinary audiences watch movies as a pastime, and the different purposes determine the different evaluations of a movie, which is understandable.
Similarly, watching movies should not be divided into three, six, nine, and so on.
You think you understand a certain movie, you are very advanced, other people think the movie is boring, you say that others are low-level, this is the wrong approach.
Because everyone's demands to watch the movie are different, film critics look at the meaning, look at the composition, look at the technique, and the general audience sees that an actress in the film looks beautiful, and thinks that this is a good movie.
This perception of movies can be superficial? But is this wrong?
Of course, it is true that ordinary audiences do not care how bullish the blank space of the movie is, only to see whether the movie is good or not, and if a certain place touches their "good", then the movie is "good".
Film critics are different, in addition to "good", they will also delve into why this movie is good, where it is good, and whether it is worth praising a good word, because they can see more good reasons and bad problems.
In other words, film critics watch a movie and watch a movie in a few steps; ordinary people watch a movie, directly in one step, without spending too much time and energy.
Therefore, the contradictions and conflicts between film critics and ordinary audiences naturally exist.
But film critics should not impose their own ideas on the audience with more cognition, but should make up for the parts of ordinary audiences that they can't see.
In the same way, the general audience can not be arbitrarily stubborn, with an inclusive mentality to face the evaluation of others, if you accept it, you understand, if you do not accept it, you ignore it, there is no right or wrong in arguing, but arguing hurts the body.
