Today's recommended movie, this week's Douban word-of-mouth list TOP1 "Silent Film Narrator". The film was released at the end of last year, but so far few people have watched it, but it is a good film without delay.
First of all, let's talk about the director- Zhou FangZhengxing, an intellectual, who studied French literature in college, so he looks like a student.
Zhou Fangzhengxing's production is not high, the representative work should be "Talk About Love Dancing" in 96, which won numerous awards at that time, and "Silent Film Narrator" was his first film in the past 5 years.
Then talk about the background of the movie story, silent films are extremely popular after they were introduced to Japan, but most of the movies were made by foreigners, and the people couldn't understand it at all, so there was a narrator: Benshi.
Ben will stand by the screen, in addition to talking about the plot, but also add oil and vinegar, the audience likes to listen to what they want to say. So the quality of a movie sometimes depends on a mouth.
The story takes place in Japan in 1915, when the Japanese economy was booming and the film industry was developing rapidly.
The male protagonist Shuntaro has been staying on the set since he was a child, and has aspired to become a famous benefactor like Akio Yamaoka since he was a child, and Shuntaro has the talent to become a benefactor when he is a child.
Ten years later, Shuntaro did become Akiko Yamaoka, but was a fake and joined the theft gang.
The theft gang disguised as a film screening group to show movies to the villagers, and Shuntaro's task is to attract the villagers to the theater, at which point the houses are empty, and the accomplices take the opportunity to start "moving"
Often walking by the river where there are not wet shoes, such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of the police, Shuntaro's fake identity was also discovered by the police played by Takeno Uchihiro.
On the way to escape, Shuntaro and the gang broke up, but inexplicably got a box of stolen money, so Shuntaro began to hide in the jianghu and work as a small worker in the small theater.
Then there is the normal plot: the nameless worker has a special skill, breaks out of the sky at the bottom, completes his childhood dream, and becomes a generation of famous benefactors.
The scene of the movie is actually average, and the highlight lies in the laughter and fan direction. A lot of film elements have been added to the film, and silent film masterpieces such as "The Seven Commandments", "Cleopatra", "La Traviata", and "The Strange Man of the Bell Tower" appear repeatedly.
But the fan movie is a little bad, the threshold is relatively high, some of the movies in it will only be laughed by people who understand it, so interested friends can try to watch it.
