Live-action films have always had a touching charm, but it is not easy to make their own features.
Adapted from the short and brilliant life of the talented blind jazz pianist Meyertek Kaush, the Polish film "The Blind Organist" brings its own characteristics.
"Sound" is an important element of this film, which is not only a point to the protagonist's musical achievements, but also an important expressive element of the film.
The process of shaping the blind violinist of the protagonist "Miyette" combines the characteristics of the "invisible" character to weaken the vision and highlight the character's sensitivity in hearing by amplifying various surrounding sounds.
The deliberately amplified sound is extremely harsh for the audience in the viewing experience, and it is precisely this abnormal harsh experience that can highlight the psychological pressure and emotional impact of the surrounding ridicule on the protagonist.
This kind of expression is mostly used in the protagonist on the stage, and the discussion between the audience and the crowd whispering, after being deliberately amplified, becomes a kind of ridicule and ridicule, and the reflection on the protagonist becomes a kind of discrimination and prejudice. For the protagonist of the blind identity, the inner pressure and negative emotions generated are self-evident.
Through the expressiveness of the voice, the audience is placed in the same feeling as the protagonist, and feels the pressure and emotions that this extraordinary person can experience.
This special method of expression allows the film not to be instigated by deliberately selling misery, but to increase the sense of identity and empathy by allowing the audience to experience the experience of the protagonist.
"Closing the door" is a major signature of the film, and this action is mostly produced when others leave the protagonist and appear in the film many times.
From the action of "closing the door", it is actually an expression of the attitude of outsiders towards the protagonist. The protagonist is often in the context of rejection and abandonment, which in turn portrays a sense of loneliness that has been forgotten by the world.
This symbolic picture that appears many times runs through the protagonist's entire life from childhood to fame, and becomes an indelible scar of life.
Whether it is his mother turning away after being left in the convent as a child, or two favorite women who left him after becoming famous, it is all related to "closing the door".
What is more noteworthy is that whenever someone around him chooses to leave the protagonist, the protagonist will always use a roar of "I don't need you, I can do it myself", which seems stubborn, but in fact, behind it is pale and powerless.
For the protagonist who is blind, even if he has a super high musical attainment, enters the music industry, and even part of his mobility is no different from ordinary people, he is still prejudiced.
This kind of being in the ordinary world and enjoying the applause and appreciation of others does not bring the protagonist a kind of happiness and self-confidence, but on the contrary, it is a kind of loneliness that no one can understand.
When "The Blind Organist" portrays the tragic and lonely life of the characters, it does not choose to show it in a sequential way, and uses a large number of interludes.
The sequential narrative technique of biopics generally shapes the legendary experience of how the characters went from the trough to the top, such as the bohemian rhapsody we all know.
And "The Blind Organist" uses interludes to deconstruct the protagonist's life, in order to show what kind of life his lonely and angry personality is derived from.
He hated his father because he had been deliberately placed in the stable by his father and nearly lost his horse's hoof. The attachment to women is due to the longing for maternal love in her heart after being sent to the post-monastery by her mother as a child.
When the outside chooses to abandon and leave him, his inner powerlessness and loneliness prompt his temperament to become irritable and paranoid. This kind of toughness made the people around him choose to leave one by one, and finally left him alone.
While we are shocked by the talent and talent of the talented musician "Miette", we also lament his miserable and lonely life, just like the world in front of him is full of darkness, and he can't touch any shoulder that can be relied on.
