Movie long shot NO.1

I caught a cold and didn't want to do anything while lying in bed. My brain was dull. I opened "Seven Pounds" for fear that I couldn't understand it, so I squinted and watched "Russian Ark" played last year. You don't have to think about watching this movie.
Two thousand actors, three hundred years, thirty-five rooms, three symphony orchestras, seven months of rehearsal, one shot. The museum only gave the crew two days, so forty electricians spent 26 hours lighting in 35 rooms, and then German photographer Tillman Batner carried it for more than 90 minutes. The high-definition Sony digital camera weighing more than 30 kilograms completed the shooting of all the images in one go. All I can say is that these guys are too awesome.
In fact, this is not the longest film I have ever seen. I once watched a Porno, a big bed, several bed performers, men and women, taking turns taking turns, a camera standing there honestly, occasionally shifting the angle. The whole film lasts for two hours, without cutting the lens, the original flavor, of course, the most important thing is that it is not boring. Its content is the blatant contempt for spiritual pursuits by several groups of men and women and the ultimate exploration of physical pleasure, and the deconstruction of postmodernism and the anatomy of neo-realism have been realized in artistic techniques. It is the No.1 long shot of the movie I have ever seen.

    The director's ambition. The technical difficulty of this film is so great that it can win the Best Director Award, huh, huh. The film intersperses the history and present of Russia through the subjective lens of one person and a stranger playing in the Hermitage Museum, while also making a cultural comparison between Russia and the rest of Europe.

    Sokolov hopes to resurrect the imaginary and aesthetic Russian golden age with a block-shaped overall space, and connect it with continental European culture, and usher in the end of the film-the pale, fading era: 1917 Nothing in "Russian Ark" mentions the Soviet red regime, but this historical absence has become a scarred existence in the true sense, and it also exists in the Russian audience watching it. However, under the baroque existence of "Russia", a postmodern writing was accidentally completed. The long shot and voice-over framed a hidden subject for the film, and witnessed a time of Deleuze with different scenes and speed movements. In this ark, the co-presence of history/reality means that the linear chronological history is broken, and it is arbitrarily connected with the current or non-historical state, and smoothly the camera’s Movement, an inland space-style plateau was created.
