      For everyone who wants to make a movie

      In this era,
      many people want to be famous.
      Many people want to prove their thoughts.
      We have unlimited power and free space to make images.

      But in the
      end I feel numbness and emptiness.
      In a certain part,
      I no longer feel

      "I don’t feel anymore." That red The woman in the dress only showed her face in two scenes. After

      watching the movie, the

      classmates told me
      what to do if I lost my wife in the future.

      And my...

      In socialist Poland in the late 1970s, Philip, a factory buyer, bought a film camera to photograph his newborn daughter. The director asked him to shoot the memorial party in the factory, and he won the Amateur Filmmaker Award. This made Philip more involved in the movie, for which his wife was not happy. The boss swayed Philip’s film creation, which made him feel uncomfortable. Philip kept the boss from contacting the TV station. His director career gradually got on track. His wife left him,...

      How movie fans are made

      I will use the word "sincerity" to describe this movie. Director Qi has sincerely and frankly put all his views on the movie, the family, the society, the world, and even the life into every scene and character of the movie. The experience of the male protagonist may be part of it. It is the master's self-directed by Qi Dazhi that pursuing ideals means contending with reality, and it also means inevitable conflict with things or relationships in reality, and even more so,...

      Obsessed with the camera


      Why do humans want to make movies? Why do humans want to record everything around them? Is it to retain the fleeting beauty? In the long years to come, are there memories to be seen without feeling desolate, or to remember all the moving moments of pain or happiness and tranquility in life?
      There is no mysterious sense of destiny, nor is it hard to breathe bitterness and fear of religious worship. At the beginning, he just used the simplest way to salute the highest art form he...

      There is not even a film left in life. [About Camera Buff]

      Polish film.
      This movie is depressing. It seems to be the feeling of reading Haruki Murakami's "After Dark". It feels very similar. It's all peaceful in the process. I didn't feel much after that. Just after thinking about it, I suddenly felt the urge to watch it again.

      Let's introduce the plot. Poland. A cozy little family. The wife's child is about to be born. The husband wanted to record his daughter's growth. Bought a camera. The company held a celebration and invited the...

      #北影节重看# Horse is an important element, it is a kind of desire, it can do whatever it wants. 01:08, the opening fable, the eagle catches the chicken. At 07:01, the camera appeared. 22:17, the broken glass, the wife showed her back. 27:50, the process of reviewing the film is a process of bargaining. 31:47, connected with the opening fable through dreams. 35:18, naughty eye contact. 48:02, the inner heart is transformed into behavior. 58:13, the power of movies. 01:08:07, a great way to present a...

      Kijeslovsky wrote in his book, "Movies mean getting up at six o'clock every morning; it means freezing cold, heavy rain, muddy, and holding a heavy lamp... other things, including your family, feelings, and Private life is second." He is always looking for the meaning of the movie, just like in the movie. Movies are the second life of a person. Those seemingly ordinary times have sadness and emotions through the lens, and those partings become...

      The protagonist who is naive and a little unreal is an obvious flaw, but Kieslowski did use this level of comparison to dialectically dialect the ambiguous dilemma of many issues, which is enough to make the audience feel low for a long time. Turning the camera to himself is a sharp yet humble self-dissection, which may be the summary of his documentary...

      What can I say, this is life. Obsessions and the real world are often in conflict, and the blandness of reality is often more unsatisfactory, and more pleasure needs to be sought in...

      When Philip finally turned the camera on himself, the contradiction of the idea behind the film that the director wanted to express immediately became three-dimensional. The sincerity of "Film Fan" is probably a problem that all film laypeople have to face after becoming a fan of the...

But the reality under the lens is not for everyone....
