A Short Film About Killing evaluation action

Kieslowski has an excellent sense of the overall tone of the film. In "The Short Film of Murder", he and photographer Iziak creatively used a green filter to shoot the entire film. It is said that There are as many as 600 special green filters. However, this green has nothing to do with life, growth or even hope, but instead creates a dazzling cruelty, emptiness and weirdness. Poland's urban streetscapes look dingy and lifeless in a near-brown grey-green. It should be noted that the effect of this film on the TV screen and the movie screen is slightly different. Kieslowski said it was possible to watch the TV version of the film on TV, but that the movie version "would suck". The theme of this film is not just about killing, but about any form of violence. Kieslowski has always been generous in showing the cruel scenes in life, such as the eagle biting a chicken at the beginning of "The Movie Fan", the blood-splattered hospital in the riot at the beginning of "Blind Hit", and "The Short Film of Murder". It was dead cockroaches, dead mice, and a bunch of kids hanging a cat. Violence is one of the most extreme forms of behavior, and Kieslowski is firmly opposed to it. Yazek's killing of the taxi driver was extremely cruel, and the law's death penalty in the name of Justice was equally shocking. Kieslowski took the trouble to record the entire process of these two scenes, and also showed two corresponding intentions that gave the viewer the strongest visual impact. One was the dentures that fell out of the taxi driver's mouth after he died. Falling in the mud, another is Yazek on the gallows fecal incontinence falling into the tray below. Since the birth of this film, it was immediately applauded by advocates of abolition of the death penalty around the world, and it has also become a classic work that they often cite. In fact, the year after the film was released, Poland announced a five-year moratorium on executions. Aside from its rejection of violence in all its names, "Murderous Short" presents the first full ultimate questioning of the law, and it's perhaps Pisjavitz's most focused entry in The Decalogue series. The trainee lawyer full of faith and the future " Three Colors Red "Just like the law students in the book, only after stepping into the society did they gradually discover the big difference between the theoretical law and the practical law. He found it difficult to answer the following question: Does violence in the name of the law necessarily equal good? Is a bad law a law? Is the law more important than prevention or punishment? How to judge the fairness of sentencing between crime and punishment? Bjort recalled seeing Yazek in a cafe before the murder, but he was unable to predict and prevent the crime from happening, and could only watch the criminal accept the death penalty afterwards, even though it would lead to shattering his ideals.

    Kieslowski could have conquered this film a few years ago. I can't look at it now. It has a strong sense of form.

    Originally, I wanted to talk about what the whole film wanted to express at the beginning, but I thought later, that was not the case at all. The shadow on the screen is not only the most important color narrative in the whole film (the later works of Kieslowski are also commonly used), but also an efficient and spreading atmosphere to the extreme. The narrative with multiple clues presents the fragmented and divided social picture to the audience like a kaleidoscope contaminated with dust, which is an absolutely extreme viewing experience. However, forgive me for my unfamiliarity and lack of understanding of Keith's philosophical expression. I always feel that the film's pure imagery bursts with too much stimulation. It was so intense that I couldn't stand it.
