For a long time, I have been enjoying movies silently by myself, and rarely share the moments of movies with others. Playing the movie for 17 year olds this time around, I think I'm missing something, they're watching the movie from a different angle than I do.
I played the movie to two all-girls classes and two basically four classes of boys. When the girls' class watched it, they screamed, oh my god! I'm so noisy [crying face] When the boys class watched the movie, because there were few lines in the movie, they basically called for some monophonic calls. Whenever the heroine was panting for self-help, they all showed lustful expressions. eyes. my God! I forgive them all at the age of reverie [manual goodbye]
Some of their viewing reactions caused me to think deeply. There is a girl in the class. When the heroine is in danger, she keeps scolding the heroine. Why does she know that the ocean is so dangerous, but she goes surfing alone so willfully? Every time the heroine has a small climax of a new plot, she scolds the heroine once. .
I think that as a silent filmmaker for many years, I can no longer achieve the degree of immersion that this student is watching when watching a film. We will get used to the film as a film, and sometimes the plot develops like this, just for the needs of the film plot, and then give up thinking, Let go of the depth behind the research.
This made me think about why the heroine insisted on going to the beach, and why she was left alone in the ocean as the evening approached. Because there are few plots provided in the movie, it can only be imagined. The heroine went to this beach because of her mother. From a small amount of information, it can be seen that the heroine's mother died of illness, and she worked hard to fight with God for life time before her death. , and ended in failure. The heroine was unable to bear the weight of losing her mother, so she took a leave of absence from school, and came to find her mother's secret ocean with a feeling of nostalgia for her mother. After talking on the phone with his father, the father did not understand his daughter's behavior of dropping out of school and going elsewhere. There were some minor conflicts, and his mood became more complicated. He wanted to use surfing to release the depression in his heart. The above two apparent reasons may be one of the reasons why the heroine insists on going to the beach.
There is also a plot. When the heroine finally raised her gun for help, she fired two shots because the bullets were wet and failed. At this time, my students actually laughed! [crying face] I really don't know that there is a laughing point in ambush here, review yourself.
Well, for the time being, I still enjoy sharing movies with the students. After all, the students are watching the movie, and I am watching the students' reactions. I have a better understanding of the movie's reaction to different groups of people. This is my first time to write a review, please don't spray, thank you~
