The Eyes of Images-The Twelve Houses in the Times

(I am not a fan of Vinci, so it is inevitable that some places have not been able to get what the director is good at showing)

This film is considered my favorite Vinci movie nowadays (although his work has not been completed yet, it is the best for now), because I love the style of the 70s, in There is more or less satisfaction in this movie. After all, the retro-style logo from the beginning makes people feel that taste. And Vinci's personal style also exudes magical charm in the reorganization of "Zodiac."

This title is too retro

First of all, the screen of the movie expresses a fascination with objects {always reminds me of (the president's team)}. First of all, we can take out the close-ups in the film alone, and simply and accurately put the "authenticity" of the evidence in front of the audience to achieve a deeper "confusion".

(Perhaps there is also the role of reflection on the media?) That said, this approach...

On the other hand, the elements of cameras, letters, and television, in my opinion, have also successfully constructed a living environment unique to the past, {"Chinatown", "TV Station Storm"}.

In fact, there is a feeling of sadness here. The camera is like a YJ.

In addition, there are two other visual "key points" worth highlighting. First of all, the intent of the telephone as a very important visual element is used from beginning to end. As a guiding object, the telephone symbolizes the communication with the outside world and makes the distance between multiple characters close enough in the dialogue scene to let the audience. Immerse yourself. At the same time, another larger "object" car was also highlighted. The God lens used when Uncle Mark appeared on the stage steadily followed the motion of the taxi. The car was used as a guide space to explore the unknown and was attracted by the audience. The memory of the eyeballs. Why did I talk about these two elements first, because the latter has a great effect.

I really like this conversation. The shot has a sense of Antonioni (idea, ideology)

This period of spectacle was quite amazing, and it also made the appearance of David (Uncle Mark) impressive.

Another point is the shooting of the dialogue scenes that Vinci is so fond of. Two points are highlighted in this film. The first is a staring lens similar to (breaking the fourth wall), which is used from time to time throughout the film. Here Of course, it's not just a simple image style embedment. "The emotion of walking into the character" is the most important role. In such a long period of time and straightforward narrative, we can see the undercurrent of psychological floating here. In addition, just like all of Vinci’s works for narrative purposes, in the scenes of the characters, the switch between the front and the back symbolizes the relationship between the guide and the guided, and the key words worthy of the audience’s attention. , And the smooth transition of the environment relied on the art department to achieve the desired effect.

In this conversation, the woman is a guide, not only guiding the protagonist, but also the audience

It's still a standard triangle composition.

Pay attention to the blue wine glass, which symbolizes the slow progress of the conversation.

Having said this, let’s look at the scene in the second half of Gyllenhaal’s Robert visits to Von. The elements mentioned just now have been used extremely well, which makes this climax of the scene like this. Affect people's hearts.

Darkness symbolizes the unknown and fear. The car and the driver are the objects that need to be focused on for the transition and the next scene.

Gaze into fear, shocking lens (does it look like "Memories of Murder")

The closed phone indirectly pointed out that the scene was unknown and confidential, which was extremely muffled.

Taking this picture is mainly scary. (You know what you mean by watching the original film)

Of course, in addition to this, what I like more about this film is the scheduling of the first half of the crime process, which is very black film style. Slowly laying the groundwork, without too much blood, with exciting and real violence, so charming, it really has the style of the new police and gangster movies of the year. (Of course, if this filming is not good, I'm sorry that even "Dirty Harry" was directly named in the movie as a tribute)

The schedule of this scene is impressive.

Probably so. But in the end, I still have to say aloud, although this film is a masterpiece, but I still, no, happy, happy, Finch style! ! ! ! (The last complaint, wow kaka, I'm tired of writing this as expected, and there are not many words...)

    When the event goes through time, it becomes history and enters the lives that affect those people. Those who find the truth may be disappointed. There is no truth in life and history, it is written by others, just like the zodiac killer unless it happens. It will always be a mystery to you. David Fincher liked the atmosphere very much. Although some of them are not so classic, they scored full marks for this. Archives.
