It has been used by others for many months, and this movie is simply amazing in Japan, and can be regarded as one of the top ten most popular movies in the history of Japanese cinema, and can even be recorded in the annals of Japanese film history.
At present, the content is already available on the Internet, this film will be fire, although it can not be said to counterattack my three views, but when I watch it, it can still surprise me, giving me this new feeling, making me laugh out of the pig in the middle of the night.
It's — Don't Stop the Camera!
"Camera don't stop" cost to say scared to death, only 3 million yen, almost 180,000 yuan, it is estimated that some people cherry blossom season to go to Japan shopping, almost this price.
But it is such a very small cost film, in Japan alone, it has counterattacked nearly 200 million yuan at the box office, in Japan such a small territory, such a small cost, such a box office return rate, enough to see the dark horse effect of the film.
So far, distributors from all over the world have tried to introduce, in various film festivals, "Camera Don't Stop" nominations to get awards to soft, all kinds of small-scale screenings have reached the point where it is difficult to find a ticket, just in the New Japan Film Exhibition in Beijing, "Camera Don't Stop" seconds of light, reproducing the "Thief Family" on-demand ticket snatching some time ago.
So what is the magic of this zombie film of only 180,000?!
The answer is to keep surprising you! Keep making unexpected laughs for you! In the end, you can still be touched by their perseverance!
This reminds me of a standard for watching movies, that is, good movies can hollow out one of your emotions, such as good literary films will hollow out your thinking about the meaning of life, good action movies will empty your adrenaline, good thriller horror movies will scare you to the point of not being able to help yourself, good comedies must make you laugh contentedly.
Although this is a more popular judgment of film, it is enough to prove the functionality of each type of film.
"Don't Stop the Camera" has the function of hollowing out your sense of surprise, excitement, and joy.
The zombie film genre is very mature today, the big hit American dramas have "The Walking Dead", the classic but finally bad "Resident Evil" series, the film production is "Dawn of the Living Dead", "Zombie World War", "Busan Trip" and so on.
Today's zombie films have to be very creative if they want to be of interest to the audience.
"Don't Stop the Camera" became a hit, and the creativity of the film lies in the feeling of pointing to a deer as a horse.
Let's start with the movie, which won't affect the viewing effect.
The front of the film is basically a traditional zombie film, about a small-budget film production team, who come to an abandoned factory without even a mobile phone signal, to make a very low-cost zombie film with only male and female protagonists.
In the film, the director did not understand what the real fear was, so he drew a blood curse on the roof and found a real zombie, causing the entire crew to become zombies one after another.
In the end, the entire "film" was left with only one female protagonist.
The zombie film in the whole play is a shot to the end, when I was watching, my heart was muttering, is this film a hit because of a shot to the end?!
Now a shot is a piece of cake for film technology, what is the difficulty.
Seeing this, I wanted to give this film a moderate label, and the result... What a fragrance!
When the film is thirty-seven minutes old, the zombie short film of the play within a play is subtitled! This is very strange, is there a play within a play?!
——Deep spoilers——
Sure enough, the one-shot shot to the end is gone, returning to the perspective of traditional film language, telling the story of the director's before and after preparing for this zombie film a month ago.
That is to say, the second-third of the entire "Camera Don't Stop" restores the backstage of the previous zombie short film, but this behind-the-scenes can make people laugh out of their abs.
When I watched the previous zombie short film, I wondered why some of the bridges were so strange, but I thought in my head that this might be the feature of this film.
For example, the male and female protagonists and makeup artists sit there talking about self-defense, this awkward chat seems to be killing time, but self-defense is in the later scenes, we just need to hear "touch" from the voiceover! Just know that it is the makeup artist who makes a big move. At this time, I felt that, well, the function of this awkward scene is to explain the voiceover of the self-defense technique behind.
In addition, self-defense seems to be caught by zombies in the back, and there is also a technique of self-defense, which is actually very useful to insert this awkward play.
Just when they said that this place was cursed, there was a loud noise outside the door (explained in the behind-the-scenes footage of the film), which is also too appropriate!
Who knows, there is another mystery behind the scenes...
For example, the voice actor escaped from the bridge, when watching the short film, I always thought that I was afraid to run away, who knows... Knowing the truth, I laughed.
Another director shouted at the camera: "Don't stop the camera!" ”
When watching the short film, I was still thinking in my head, this is not the dramatic language: "break the fourth wall", it is not too much of a surprise, the "House of Cards" series is rotten, and this is also created by Shakespeare thousands of years ago.
Who knows... I was deeply ridiculed.
It also appears in the "short film", when the heroine hit the camera while escaping, and the camera fell on the grass, remaining still, with less than half of the effective framing in the picture.
At this time, I was thinking that this is an important indicator of pseudo-documentary shooting, that is, deliberately letting the camera fall to the ground, inadvertently shooting important information to increase the sense of reality.
This method of shooting has been used in the Clover Files, and finally the camera falls on the grass, and the close-up of the monster is captured.
Who knows... Is it that I think too much...
Then there is the heroine rooftop shouting for a long time, pretending to force me to think again, this is not a tribute to the heroine's fear in the bathroom in "Horror", Hitchcock once mentioned that the unknown is the most fearful, when the audience can not see the true face of the murderer, the brain will think about things off the camera, resulting in unknown fear.
And the close-up of the heroine's fear, compared with the face that pretended to play fear at the beginning, made people feel terrible.
Who knows... Things aren't as rich as I thought.
In fact, the idea of the short film lens in "The Camera Does Not Stop" is indeed used in these lens languages, but it is said that the director has turned these classic lens languages into the ingenuity of all the baggage behind it, thus creating a very surprising laugh.
In particular, the makeup artist's increasingly nonsensical acting skills, although there is an explanation later, but if you only watch that short film, in fact, it is not against the harmony, cult films are not such an exaggerated way of acting, and Japanese actors sometimes have manga-style exaggerated acting skills, which is also a feature.
What is even more surprising is that among these surprises, there is also a warm layer of father-daughter love.
The director originally did not take this one-shot zombie film, but because the male protagonist in the film is his daughter Aidou, he decided to take it.
And for the sake of his daughter's intransigence, the director gradually became uncompromising in the shooting of this short film, even if this short film is a late-night TV program in the middle of the night, the director also chose to do his best to be perfect.
Such an ingenuity, by the daughter infected the father, the father gave back to the daughter, the father and daughter from the beginning of the mutual misunderstanding to the later reconciliation, people can't help but nose a sour.
In addition, each character in the film has a corresponding mental journey, each character is bound to each other, interdependent and growing, and the ideas that seem to be a variety of easy and accidental shooting are actually well-designed plots and actions.
Of course, if you want to perceive some depth and meaning from this film with a strong genre framework, it certainly doesn't exist, as the director himself said in the interview, he just wants to create something interesting, the film is just an entertainment, and the audience experience is very important.
The director looked at his inner monologue and made a very interesting "Camera Don't Stop".
I can't think of any reason not to recommend this work, because the experience of the film is really amazing!!
Finally, let's end with a sentence that everyone often says when the film first caught fire: In short, let's go and see it!
