It's been a long time since I watched a movie with such unbridled laughter. But after hahahahahaha, I was moved to tears. While rubbing my twitchy face with laughter, I sighed silently while blowing my nose and wiping my tears: "This is the movie I love, it's the group of filmmakers I love~"

1. About 32 minutes of one shot to the end

To be honest, I really watched the first part as a feature film. And even if the camera falls to the ground and doesn't move, the scene where the female protagonist screams is always cut off, and the recording guy rushes out for no reason... All kinds of bugs are intertwined, and I don't think anything is wrong - the rhythm of the film can be said to me. Perfect! Neither terribly slow nor too fast to be chaotic. It's the speed at which I hold my breath so that I don't miss a shot, but I don't have time to think about it.

The first shot to the end is very natural and unpretentious. It does not deliberately conceal the flaws of the photographic mechanism, but expresses, even exposes. Switching between perspectives and near and far views is "rude", always reminding the audience that "you're just watching a crappy video." And the "shot" of "director looking directly at the camera" also makes people feel very kind! (I remember the last time I saw an actor staring at the camera, it was "Angel Emily" made up last summer)

2. About the film structure

It can be felt that the structure of this film is very clear - three sections: feature film → preparation → shooting, which does not lose the splendor of reverse order, but also has a clear order. The end of the first paragraph looked like the end of the credits, and I didn't even think that the movie was over until I knew it was just the beginning. The design is so ingenious and the brain is open, it is very burning!

3. As a plot control

I spend most of my time watching feature films, so when I see a story, the reflex starts to pick out the details. I think the plot of this film is very scrutinized, and it doesn't lose depth at all! First of all, there are all kinds of tricks and ambush in the "zombie movie", but it makes me feel acceptable. Thriller and suspense are the main experience for me in this episode. The preparatory stage immediately brought the audience back to reality. The director had to sacrifice art to a certain extent in order to survive, and his daughter’s incomprehension of him made the contradiction even more serious—this is a problem that almost every filmmaker has to face: What is pure art? How far have we come from where we started? The final shooting stage echoes the first paragraph, unveiling all the foreshadowings set before, making people laugh out loud. But the contradictions in the second paragraph have been running through it all the time. All emotions are intertwined here, pushing the film to a climax. The conflict was resolved, and the director finally got his wish, ending with the heroine standing in the bloody battle, the daughter exerting her talents, and the relationship with her father improved. Filming, my mother also faced her own fears, whether she was not confident, she regained her former years of acting... As an amateur, it is difficult for me to enter the real studio, and it is difficult to see those who work hard behind the scenes. . In the end, behind the names that are rolled out at the end of the movie, there are vivid people and hard-working individuals. All are so indispensable.

I think, love is not about rules, let alone the eyes of others. The picture, the sound, the makeup, the lines... it's my heart that flickers and trembles.

    Pleasant but disliked. If "Shadow" and "Zhang Yimou and His Shadow" are tied to one ticket and sold in a hall, the experience brought to the audience will not be much different from this film. Isn't the sensationalism law of "We work hard so we endure it", in a certain sense, isn't it also inciting the audience to transfer the interpretation power they should have to the crew that may not have a reason or even a real misery? I feel sorry for Shi Yun's "Insects in the World". In the same way, he did everything possible to avoid such sensationalism, but he did not expect the audience to be so voluntarily deceived by its tricks...

    I think it uses the script structure of "Don't Say Your Voice" (Confused Theatre), including the feature film of the first act and the behind-the-scenes scene of the last scene, changing the stage of the drama to a live one-shot, in fact, the essence is the same . In it, such as the director's intervention, alcoholic supporting roles and various emergencies are used, very cleverly catering to the grafting of the new era.
