    This film really captures what I felt when I went to Columbus for the first time. Use the relationship between spaces to reflect the relationship between...

    I don't like it, the filming is too boring, too boring, and too cramped, and the script can be used for the theater. It is said in the play that good buildings can heal people's hearts. But I felt like I was torturing myself watching this movie. . Say what you heard in the Q&A. The director was originally a film critic with a master's degree in film studies. This is his first feature film. He also mentioned that he especially liked Yasujiro Ozu, who has done research on Asian films and was...

    After watching this, I clearly felt for the first time that the sense of space in film creation and the use of film to shoot architecture can be completely different things. An's Old Pagoda is the former, which is more like integrating architecture and space into creation; this is the latter, which seems to express architecture as a character. There is no one better than the other, but completely different paths can be taken in terms of creation and...

    #11th FIRST# The whole composition is based on the asymmetrical harmony church, and the axis is on the right. A father-son story is mixed with a mother-daughter story, and it seems to be the mix "Autumn Harmony" from "When Father Was Live". The master's building has become a metonymy of father/mother, and the girl's favorite list has a hint of a database. It is very innovative to connect the architectural space with the emotions of the characters. The lighting is also unique. It's just so...

    The transparent oxygen feel of the sun shadow. Architecture is embedded in the film as a motif, standing silently as a background after the characters’ Before-style dialogues and strolls, and almost becomes a character to promote the development of the plot story. When the protagonist talks about the healing function of architecture, many quiet and clear The fixed shots and precise and smooth editing seem to have become the mirror images of these regular modernist buildings in this film,...

    The setting and composition are all remarkable, a love letter to the city and architecture. In terms of plot and characters, there is not much to say except that the delicate oriental embarrassment is very...

    The picture is so beautiful that I have forgotten to pay attention to the plot. The director "emptied" a lot and handed the footage to the major buildings of Columbus (Fun fact: it turned out to be Mike Pence's hometown), and when I watched it, I felt that they "seem to be talking". Warm, soft and full of heart. But in front of such excellent and perfect audio-visual language, it also exposed the incapacity of Haley Lu Richardson, John Cho and other actors at a...

    An introduction to architecture, the representative figures in the mixed-cutting industry finally entered the film creation circle. Exquisite and elegant but not fancy, the stillness conveyed by the fixed lens, and the frame rate of the whole process are all the picks that provoke time. It is not easy for the first work to maintain such a style. The single-point perspective and depth composition of a large number of segmented pictures, together with the urban space proficient in architectural...

    The Asymmetrical Balance

    It is not so much a drama film as it is a film about the architecture of Columbus City. Many scenes in the film (the bookstore, tower, bank) are symmetrical background still lifes and asymmetrical characters, plus the church that is repeatedly emphasized asymmetrical. , the scene and the plot are...
