How about, yesterday "saw three billboards" did not feel?
F: Of course I watched, oscar winner big hit, seven nominations. However, I will not pretend in front of you, to be honest, I did not understand, what is the good of this movie?
Well, I ask a question, at the end of the film, when the heroine admits that she burned the police station, and Dixon said indifferently: Who else but you... At this point, the audience must be wondering, is the billboard burned by dixon?
F: Yes, yes, I am also doubting, dixon did not admit it, I also think that this is not necessarily the ex-husband burned, the key film does not tell the audience a clear answer!
This is precisely the purpose of the director, only those who understand this movie know why the director has to end it so much, who burned the fire...
You see Ha, our domestic film fans, open their mouths and shut up to talk about human nature, and the movie that really talks about human nature is coming... It's all silly!
Female: Oh, I'm dying, hurry up and tell me about this god work!
According to the four-dimensional integrated film analysis method, I will tell you about the plot and characters, find the theme of this movie, and you will understand it all!
We see the heroine, the typical fierce woman, arguing with everyone, and the person who offends her is likely to be beaten. Quarrels with the daughter are cursed, the mother and the mother both have the same stinky mouth, but the daughter's death, the mother deeply blames herself, no matter what, we must find the murderer!
The sheriff and his subordinates are not actually bad people, but they are all likely to be angry and rude, and they all have plausible explanations. In particular, the police officer dixon is a very important person, but also a very typical manic patient, after the death of the sheriff, he is the protagonist.
We analyze that this person often wears headphones to listen to songs, reckless and brainless, and emotionally serious!
F: It was also a shouting at his mother, no big or small...
You see, in the end, he also admitted that his English is not good, and the subtext is that he does not understand interpersonal communication.
We wondered, if he was chatting with the suspect and could get DNA by many means, why did he use such a self-harming and rough and brainless beating pattern?
Here are two shots, dixon, listening to the headphones every time, not knowing what happens "behind", indicating that this person is either inaudible or invisible, lacks understanding and comprehensive judgment ability on things, always looks at people or things with subjective thinking, narrow perspective, no wonder the police academy has studied for six years and still repeats grades, and does not have the professional quality of the police at all...
Later, I will also focus on why these characteristics are portrayed, including the language of the lens.
F: By the way, I have a doubt in this film: why most people can't tell the difference between good and bad, and there is no way to comment... Including Dixon's mother, this old lady obviously hated racism before, why did she always give her son some dirty ideas later... Why is the character portrayed like this, and who brought her badly?
Remember the subtext of the book "Good People Are Hard to Find" in the hands of advertisers: In fact, everyone has a taste... What exactly is the taste, I finally unveiled the mystery.
Looking at the dentist again, we see, he is obviously very disgusted with the heroine, because he does not give the patient anesthetic, the language is cold, these have long been seen by the heroine, when the name of the sheriff is mentioned, the murderous woman suddenly exploded, drilling a hole in his finger...
In fact, let's analyze, the sheriff's thing is related to your ass? Do you know each other well?
F: Yes, looking at the back, the sheriff didn't take this injury case seriously!
That's it! I tell you, these plots are very critical, and if I find the theme, you will understand why the story is made up like this...
Look at the ex-husband's lover silly white sweet, pay attention to the actor selection, very beautiful girl, big eyes, revealing a face of ignorance, always confused about the situation, stupid, but she is very kind, circus zoo well, like animals...
F: Ha, no wonder the heroine's husband will cheat, who doesn't like a kind and beautiful and good-tempered little girl?
The key is to think about why the crazy woman beat everyone, but in the tavern let this woman go!
I will tell you the theme of the movie now, and you will find that all the problems are solved, including a large number of camera language and plots in the back, and none of them cannot be explained!
F: Well, I've long learned the magic of the four-dimensional oneness theory, so tell me the movie theme!
<h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > director is through this story, artistically presenting and dissecting human emotions, and emotions are the only elements that make up the story of the film, the initiator!
</h2>
F: In other words, this film is not intended to write stories or characters, the theme is to dissect human emotions?
Of course! Didn't you find the story fake? Extremely dramatic, extremely exaggerated... By the way, you wouldn't think these episodes were real, would you?
F: That's not true, I also think this film has a lot of fiction, too exaggerated!
How many times have I said that the story is true or false, how true is it, how is it fake...? Will it affect the director's ability to convey ideas and win awards?
F: You mean, those judges never cared about the truth or falsity of the film's story...?
Ha, if anyone still takes this farce seriously, it is really a seven-year-old IQ...
Oscar is like this, the insider looks at the doorway, the layman looks at the hilarity! What kind of film criticism can be called a movie appreciation...?
We found: billboards and TV journalists media news ... Appears one after another in the film.
The mad woman began to use advertisements and media reporters to stir up emotions and put pressure on the police station, which was really good to make her daughter's case a public incident, which was also her purpose.
But later, why did she scold the reporter again and vent her dissatisfaction...?
F: Because after the sheriff committed suicide, people in the town thought that her billboard forced the sheriff to die.
truly! But when we look at the plot, is the sheriff forced to die because of a billboard?
F: Obviously not, he committed suicide because he had cancer...
Yes, and the lazy lady of the family he knew very well, felt that he would not take care of a cancer patient like him, it was better to give her a good impression, so the two of them finished the last shot by the river, and after that, the sheriff also gave himself the last shot in the stables.
At this time, we should think: sex is also an important factor in solving bad emotions, right?
F: It is true that before committing suicide, the sheriff sent three letters in a row, and did not mention that he hated anyone, so it can be seen that he did not have any complaints before he died!
F: Not enough, why did this policeman shoot himself with a mask and put words on it...?
Because the male protagonist knows that anyone who sees the bloody and terrifying scene will be afraid, he is worried that his wife will take off his mask to see her husband's final tragic situation, obviously he will leave a good impression on his wife!
F: Well, people can do anything in a hurry, and the wife may pick up a gun and seek revenge on the crazy woman...
Well, let's recall, in fact, a lot of the plot is almost to explain this...
1 When the crazy woman was at the police station, the two were originally arguing, but the sheriff vomited blood, and she immediately cared...
2 Police Dixon's mother, when she saw her son come home and was beaten with blood, suddenly went crazy and asked what was going on? ......
3 In the bar, the black woman who obviously dislikes dixon, that is, the friend of the heroine, when she found out that dixon was beaten, she immediately cared...
4 Advertisers show concern when they see someone covered in bandages, and finally even if they know it's dixon, they still hand over the drink... And dixon saw the advertiser's miserable situation and regretted it!
5 The docile son found that his mother was choked by the neck and actually moved a knife with his father...
6 After the crazy woman set the fire, she saw that someone was on fire, suddenly frightened, and blamed herself...
<h2 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > we should think: What factors affect a person's emotions...?
F: That is to say, when you see a picture of horror and especially blood, there will be a sudden change of emotion?
Right pole! Therefore, this film does not have an obvious distinction between good people and bad people, who is really good and who is really bad...? Are there boundaries?
All people can and do things that care for others or do justice, and the occurrence of a series of grotesque events can only illustrate one thing:
<h2 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > people's actions are simply dominated and controlled by "emotions"....</h2>
As I said before, emotions can be rendered, advertising, news, etc., and everyone will subjectively assume when they can't grasp the full information: just like the dentist, what does the whole thing have to do with you, what qualifications do you have, and with what revenge on the patient, do you know the whole incident? Finally, he set himself on fire," he didn't want to...
F: Oh, I finally understood: in fact, everyone is a taste, a prisoner of emotions!
That's why I said that the whole event was guided by "emotions"... This is exactly the idea that the director wants to express!
In fact, there are often such situations in life, you don't know what happened, stepping on someone's bottom line, people will suddenly erupt, resulting in irreparable consequences!
Crazy wives and dixons fight dentists, advertisers, crazy wives burn police stations, including the dwarfs in the back, people with good tempers can also erupt, and sons will also use knives with their fathers in emergencies... This is all influenced by certain bad emotions, making irrational, irrational, and even excessive behavior!
Let's look at this picture again: now I understand why the sheriff put on the paper bag, but I am also afraid that my wife will erupt and do something stupid when she sees the tragic situation, and his wife did not find a crazy woman in the end!
Female; makes sense! The sheriff knows this, after all, he did this, he has seen many tragic photos, and he has also written letters to advise his subordinates not to be grumpy... Hi everyone, emotion animals!
<h2 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > since the theme of the film is to analyze emotions, it must be analyzed from all levels....</h2>
We conclude from the plot: what factors are the emotions "not" affected?
When you know a person, dixon scolds his mother and blows her mother's head, and the old lady is silly when she hears this...
Before looking at it again, the crazy mother-in-law and the daughter quarreled and cursed each other, will change the mother's love for her, of course not, because the mother understands that the daughter knows that your temper is like this, nothing remarkable, the scolding is over!
<h2 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > is the power of love, emotions can not compete with love!
In addition, the son's emotions often affect the mother, you see, why did dixon's mother hate racism before, very kind, and then come up with the idea of revenge on the crazy mother-in-law's girlfriend?
F: Did she see that her son was annoyed by this all day and was affected by bad emotions, so she helped her son come up with ideas?
These plot hints that we should also dissect from another perspective;
<h2 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > "conduction of emotions."</h2>
In fact, many plays do not need to be performed by others, watching movies is to reason, that is, to dig out the so-called subtext, the key is to go in which direction to ponder these plots and dialogues: is it to catch the murderer, or to find the theme...?
<h2 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > director wants to say: whether good or bad emotions can actually be promoted and spread, and will affect the people around them like news!
We're analyzing the picture of emotional transmission
You see, outside the police station, when the sheriff commits suicide, the key attention: we vaguely see the police hugging, but we don't understand what they are doing? At this time, from outside the police station, passed to the room, the audience found that it was the obituary of the sheriff, a sentimental emotion at this time, and finally affected the dixon, directly lit the powder keg, resulting in the plot of the dixon hitting the advertiser later.
Do you remember that after that, the fire in the police station also burned from the outside to the inside, which is to describe a thing, that is, the spread of emotions... How's that, pretty graphic, right?
F: Really, after you say that, there is a feeling...
We have to remember a few words: the spread of emotions, the promotion, the spread ...
<h2 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > film, that is, through the expression of picture embodiment, the presentation of ideas in art</h2>
F: But we may not be able to read what is behind the story, which is a pity!
Indeed! Often this is the case, I say that everyone can understand, really have to find these things, it may not be so easy!
We see, billboards, you see, this prop is amazing! In addition to what I just said, the impact and role of advertising media promotion on emotions, have you ever thought about three billboards, where are they? Why not a piece?
F: Literally, the content of three sentences, ask questions, ask questions, answer! Layer by layer!
For this is the process of spreading, like gossip, like the spread of news and emotions. The key is also a fire that runs through these things. We carefully pondered, these three billboards, each far away, what happened?
We can understand that someone is lit piece by piece, indicating how angry the arsonist is, and this is the so-called "nameless fire" that cannot find the arsonist!
F: Nameless Fire, haha, makes me think of one word: emotion!
So, the emotion is the arsonist, and with this spreading expansion, these three billboards can be connected... How did you end up saving?
Look, the fire hydrant is nearby
See the picture? It's easy to set fires, it's hard to put out fires! Irresponsible and unclear news caused by the evil impact, can you suppress it with a fire extinguisher? Look at how much action the director has laid out in the firefighting scene...
It is precisely because it has ideological connotations that it cannot be passed by. Which scenes should be sufficient, and the reason must be said, all of them are rule-bound!
Look at the following stills, the fog is steaming, we imagine that this is a piece of anger, resentment, a nameless fire caused by bad emotions, and the three billboards are on fire no matter how far away!
F: Wow, are you saying that the ultimate billboard arsonist should be blamed on the spread of bad emotions?
You pay attention: the state of the heroine fighting the fire, is not the picture of her fighting with everyone in this town in the film... In the end, exhausted, helpless!
F: Wow, that's really the case... break off! That's what we often hear about "play" in the crew, right?
Well, symbolism, metaphor, analogy... These are all artistic means. If you want to make a movie, you can't see the drama!
F: Tell me more, why didn't the silly white sweet lover get beaten?
Because she is kind, beautiful, and she is always out of state, confused about the situation, only such a fool will not be affected by bad emotions, and such a pure special thing can have a few ah...
F: As the old saying goes: Raise your hand and don't hit the smiley face person!
Yes, as soon as I saw her, the anger was half gone, stupid and naïve, no one could get his hands on it... How cute that innocent idiot's eyes are!
F: No wonder, crazy women finally said to their husbands: You have to cherish her! Haha, that's the charm of our kawaii beautiful girls!
Emotions are influenced by all good things! A piece of music, a great view of the scenery, even a lovely pair of slippers... Yes, this film has actually introduced these elements, but some of them are hidden!
Each of us, if we can have good emotions, a positive and sunny mentality may affect others, can eliminate barriers, drive away anger, and eventually calm people down, on the contrary, bad emotions will also spread and spread, resulting in unimaginable consequences!
We also need to pay attention to the selection of actors, this is the director's kung fu, and the role played by each actor in the film must be counted in mind!
These are all based on the understanding and depth of the script, otherwise all of the above questions will definitely make you feel like listening to the book!
Let me explain the language of the lens to you again
The swing shot is used many times: in fact, we see, the chain of the swing is actually very eye-catching, from the hillside down, this chain can also string up three billboards, the director just wants to prompt the spread of emotions, promotion, affect every event and character including the family, inexplicably linked.
Subtext: Tragedies are often caused by bad emotions and atmospheres.
Dixon looks at a turtle with a magnifying glass, implying that he often amplifies the problem ...
Door mirrors, bandaged viewing angles, and magnifying glasses...
Explain that looking at a thing or person, do not be subjective, but to look at it comprehensively and objectively, it is very important to interpret and judge and understand others in an all-round way! Dixon also found that his English was not good in the end, suggesting that he should communicate more in order to get enough information!
F: Actually, it is true, who is good and who is bad in this film, it is all like that, and everyone understands each other and it will be fine! The sheriff of the people was dying of cancer, the crazy woman was not considerate, nor did she care about the discouragement of the church, and then, when she saw the blood, she was afraid, and immediately went to the doctor... hehe.
"See red" is chaotic, most people are like this!
The old lady and the turtle, the director subtext os: so old, don't argue with your son, he has such a hot temper, you are still affected by his work emotions, messing with ideas. Old lady, how nice it is for you to be with the turtle, you two are a match!
F: That's right, bad emotions affect the people around you, so that good people also become bad people, full of hostility!
The turtle is recognized as the most emotionless animal in the world, here is why here to quote the turtle... Got it?
F: I don't think the end of this movie is exciting enough, not cathartic enough, I didn't expect it to end like this...
In fact, the director has a lot of metaphors and purposes at the end of the film, and you have to answer them, which is interesting!
Since the theme of this film is to analyze human emotions, we know that the general mood is mood, sorrow, and fear... Let's see, has the audience's emotions been vented, why did the director do this and not let the suspect be killed?
F: Yes, you should ask yourself this question! I'm not addicted anyway, so why don't the director let the audience vent and don't kill the suspect?
Or those four words: Shut up your ass? Look at your current state, what's the difference between you and that dentist...?
Second: If you think that killing a suspect is a catharsis, is that rational? Are you as grumpy and unwise as the people in the show?
F: Yeah, I've been pursuing this catharsis before, and it's also become a prisoner of emotion... Huh? What a unconscious hey!
Ha, how, emotions are human nature, everyone is like this!
Do you have a sense of substitution and empathy this time? The director has always wanted to say: In fact, every one of us is the same, and we may be affected and disturbed by emotions.
So if I ask now, who burned this billboard?
<h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">
F: In this small town, anyone can, because anyone is affected by emotions! </h2>
Finally enlightened! This is the director's subtext, in addition, the director finally wants to show a point: in fact, the movie is also to spread emotions, it is the same as billboards, TV news, the movie is also spreading emotions, and finally we don't all walk out of the theater with various emotions, this itself is the function of the movie!
Promoting and spreading emotions and popularizing popular culture are precisely the advantages and unique charm of movies. But after watching the movie, can we calm down and think about the artistic level and ideological things in it?
And if you lack artistic vision and can't understand the doorway here, how can you understand the director's good intentions?
<h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > why is it so difficult to find movie themes in movies that reflect emotions? </h2>
You think, emotions are psychological activities, the most difficult to figure out the control, how can you see at a glance that the theme of the movie is to analyze emotions?
If you look at "Manchester by the Sea", it is also a bit similar to studying human emotions, it mainly analyzes the rhythm of individuals and the rhythm of life, it is generally difficult to find the theme, so it feels obscure!
And "Flowers and Trees", it can be said that no one has yet excavated the ideological connotation behind the story, in fact, people's short films focus on the different results caused by good and bad emotions...
F: Regarding the spread and promotion of emotions, I remember that you had a profound interpretation in the film review of the short film "Flowers and Trees".
Yeah, that's the first Oscar-winning animated short in the history of cinema, in which the spread of emotions, promotion, fire, music, you see these elements are used again in different ways in this film.
Therefore, if someone still wants to vent, it is recommended that they watch the wolf watch the Red Sea, and this kind of master-level film is really not suitable for this kind of person!
I found that we moviegoers have a big problem, obviously everyone wants to know the artistic level of the film, and when the director really makes the audience think, no one drills into that level...
These people only focus on the story, look for the answers they want in the words of the actors, round up the murderers... This complete detachment also goes against the original intention of movie appreciation!
F: It really is! Usually you have to ask how a movie is, he opens his mouth and shuts up to talk to you about human nature, three sentences do not leave human nature, utopia, stream of consciousness or something... And the movie that really dissects human nature is coming, and it's all silly!
Hey, it's Ye Gong Good Dragon...
Everyone wonders, how do those international judges at the Oscars nominate and recommend a film...? Will they watch movies frame by frame, as some film critics do, analyze the dialogue sentence by sentence, until they find the murderer... From this, it is judged that the only one who can find the murderer is called a good movie?
F: Impossible! People are not interested in thinking about this, naïve or not naïve? Like playing electric, wondering how to pass this level, where the secret book is hidden... Is that called watching a movie?
Well, with a little thought, the Oscars are definitely not this way of playing. Such a review can not be called a movie, can only be "glory of the king"!
The three major film festivals and the Oscars are all places where world-class artists gather.
Determining the quality of a film is entirely from an artistic point of view, evaluating the creativity of the director, the expression of thematic ideas, the language of the picture lens and various highlights... It is impossible to be as enthusiastic about hide-and-seek as our fans!
F: That's ah, the realm is different!
F: Well, I know what you mean! But I do find that you don't pay much attention to interpreting the story
Many things I am not more real, I only pay attention to the content of the picture presentation, lens language and symbolism and other artistic techniques, how to present the theme of the idea, I must figure out, close-up long shots of many times, there is definitely content here
F: It's like the highlight you said before, the firefighting scene...
Oh, yes! As for things outside the picture, such as "Who is the murderer in the end, what is the truth of the story, and what will happen to the protagonist in the future...?" "For me, these are all codified farces, just blind spots... I really don't deserve it! But if you want to perceive art, understand the director's ideas... I have the confidence to say: I can answer any question that is related to artistic ideas and film creation!
