"Friday Literature and Art" on the film ——
1. "Soul Snatch" (1948)
Formerly known as Rope
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Country: United Kingdom
"Recommended" A room, a shot, two men talking from beginning to end, chatting and talking about a murder case. Even though the film was made seventy years ago, it is still highly experimental.
2. The Twelve Angry Men (1957)
Original name: 12 Angry Men
Directed by: Sidney Lumet
Country: United States
"Recommended Words" is a film that truly portrays the Jury system in the United States in words. The contradictions and conflicts and dramatic tensions created by the dialogue in the film make the film full of excitement.
3. "Spring Supper of Spiritual Desire" (1966)
原名：Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Director: Mike Nichols
Watching this movie, you can not only appreciate the actor's super acting skills and rhythm control ability, but also peek into the internal contradictions faced by a standard American middle-class couple through those large sections of language dialogue.
4. "Dinner with Andrea" (1981)
原名：My Dinner with Andre
Director: Louis Mahler
"Recommended Words" This is a movie that chats at the dinner table through and through, not only talking a lot, but also talking fast, full of dialectics and thinking. If you can get past the dozing off, I believe the movie will definitely bring you a lot of inspiration.
5. "Falling Dog" (1992)
Formerly known as Reservoir Dogs
Director: Quentin Tarantino
"Recommended Words" is a black humor film that uses language to promote the development of the plot. Quentin's films are naturally indispensable to talk, although most of the absurd nonsense, but you can get too much pleasure from the blind talk.
6. "This Man Comes from Earth" (2007)
原名：The Man from Earth
Director: Richard Scheinkman
Imagine a group of university professors sitting around the house at sunset, lighting a stove, drinking wine and chatting about the sky, from astronomical geography to human sophistication to religious history... This is such a pleasant movie, cozy like lying in a warm quilt and having a beautiful dream of past and present lives.
7. The Social Network (2010)
原名：The Social Network
Director: David Finch
"Recommended Words" This movie is described in one word, that is, "fast", fast editing, fast action, fast speech, and fast plot progress. Of course, "language" accounts for a large proportion of the film, and if you can keep up with its rhythm, this is an absolutely wonderful biographical film modeled after the Internet wizard "Mark Zuckerberg".
8. "Hibernation" (2014)
Former name: Kış Uykusu
Director: Nuri Bige Ceylon
Country: Turkey
In a small hotel far from the city, the two hosts (who are also lovers) are chatting all the time, and their chat is the fuse that exposes the contradictions between the different classes and eventually leads to their disintegration. The film lasts more than three hours, but the plot is intertwined and deepened step by step. It's hard to imagine a film director doing it through chat.
9. The Perfect Stranger (2016)
Former name: Perfetti sconosciuti
Director: Paul Gnovese
Country: Italy
"Recommended words" Speaking of la-que chat, which can be less Italian! The whole episode of "Perfect Stranger" is done at a dinner table - several families gather, eat and talk, talk about accidents...
10. Screenwriting Workshop (2017)
Original name: L'Atelier
Director: Lauren Guntai
Country: France
The film makes a novel and absurd contrast between the criminal psychology in literature and art and the criminal psychology in reality, and this contrast is revealed through the dialogue between a group of students and teachers who are learning to write a screen. This film was made by the director of "High School Classroom", and his dialogue scenes are absolutely unique.
+1 Death of a Salesman (1985)
原名：Death of a Salesman
Director: Volker Schrondorff
The "Testimonials" film is based on the classic stage play script Death of a Salesman. Since it is related to the stage play, it is naturally indispensable to have a large section of lines. It is worth mentioning that Dustin Hoffman's cinematic performance makes this film unique.
+2 Dogtown (2003)
Formerly known as Dogville
Director: Russ von Thiel
Country: Denmark
"Recommended Words" is an experimental film that is set directly in front of the camera, and at the same time has a cinematic performance and editing. Let you not only find the live charm of the stage play, but also feel the film-like change of perspective.
