      Kieslowski's slow, awe-inspiring lyric of reality

      Kieslowski's films are about writing poems about fate. In the contrast of light and dark, the change of rhythm and the switching of shots, everything is presented to you naturally. The truth created by that distance can be extremely touching, and it is even difficult to distinguish the boundary between truth and falsehood. Restrained, repressed, soothing, elegant and sacred and solemn, the soundtrack seems to bring the viewer to a calm and detached hall of humanity, quietly watching...

      Ma Jiajue Murder Short Film of Yunnan University

      Director Ki's "Murdering Short Film" uses a very detailed three-line foreshadowing and a very depressing yellow filter to quietly show the behavioral trajectory and psychological exposure of a self-exiled young man how to kill. After watching it, I have been thinking It was his motive for the murder. There is a possibility that because he was drinking with a friend who is a truck driver, this friend drove his own sister to death, and he was kicked out of the house. , his extreme guilt...

      Put away the set of Bai Zuo (this is not a film review)

      This is not a movie review, it's a personal opinion


      Long story short, some netizens said the killer was not redeemed, some state machine, or the ruthlessness of the law. Personally, I feel that this kind of empty sing-along should be closed.

      It is true that in the movie, the killer and the victim are not evil until they commit a crime. But they all have their own problems. Such as taxi drivers intimidating animals, refusing rides, etc. The killer...

      Is the death penalty a form of murder?

      The most impressive plot of "Murder Short Film" is the dialogue between the interviewing lawyer and the examiner. Both the content of the entire conversation and the results of the interview were intriguing.
      "Why did he do this?" This is the question I always wondered when I saw the murderer kill, but when I watched the whole film, I found that this question may be the most worthless question in the film.
      The whole story is not complicated, a murderer kills a taxi driver, is...

    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...
