Elephant Comments

Long shots, cold and calm, perhaps more influenced by Bresson. I thought the elephant was taken from the blind man touching the elephant, but it turned out to mean that the problem appeared but turned a blind eye. In the end, two students with fragile minds survived. What does this mean? PS The costumes of the two murderers are very...

Non-linear narrative, a large number of follow-up shots and long shots, the first hour is to pave the way for the next 21 minutes, implying criminal motives, and the effect is similar to "calm before the storm". Also the beginning and ending scenes are...

Watch in class. It feels like "Dunkirk" is the same destination. Both emphasize the sense of presence, and both have the design of piecing together time and multiple perspectives. But the gameplay is quite different. The presence of "Elephant" is mainly established through a large number of tracking shots, supplemented by some fixed shots to stop the action to stretch the time, while "Dun" is a completely industrial audio-visual to create a sense of presence. There are two scales of...

RogerEbert repeatedly emphasized in his review that the film has no point of view, but he overlooked one thing: director Gus Van Sant did not give up expressing himself, and many scenes in the film actually contain strong hints. In fact, even if the film itself has no point of view, the existence of various long shots also provides objective conditions for the audience to create a "movie point of view". Maybe this is what the director...

Long mirror plus follow-up shooting, the lens replaces the eyes to the greatest extent, and the sight in the frame is where the eyes can reach; multi-line plus daily, use trivial to kill the patience of the audience (me), and unconsciously fall into the usual boredom and indifference , which gives the audience a "sense of personal experience", even accompanied by Beethoven to Alice. After a long period of cold silence, the audience was already at the scene. When the gunshots rang out, someone...

There are long shots but no planning and scheduling, just follow behind the scenes, so long that it only feels long~ There are multiple narrative lines but no narrative meaning, any foreshadowing of any character ends in a bullet~ Want to respond to school violence is all around us , and does not have any critical position, but it feels so simple that it looks like a student...

Each character is not really "cared for", but is reduced to a coherence of events that "assembles" different, discrete temporal objects. Whether it is limited to the continuous guidance of the camera’s line of sight by the coherent actions of different individuals in the same space (canteen, library, basement), or the follow-up shots that are closely attached to the same individual to complete the transition between different spaces, “real time” can be constantly emphasized. , the picture...
