I have seen a scene where there is always someone restless at the gate of a certain line, but once they pass the gate, they suddenly become strolling idle.
- We seem to find ways to save time, but do not know how to use the time in the end; we have countless ways to save time, but forgot how to enjoy time .
2017 has been a long time, and I miss her very much.
If you can only watch one road movie that year, my answer is-"Kodak Krom Film."
"Kodak Krom Film"
The plot inspiration of "Kodak" comes from real events in 2010-due to the impact of the digital age, Kodak is about to close all printing operations. The film took place during this period: the photographer's father, as a leftover in the film era, and his son crossed half of the United States in search of the last development shop.
Regardless of the family love in the movie, the most noteworthy thing about this film is the slow journey, slow photography, and slow travel, as if there is no deadline in life , even if the old father in the movie is already suffering from cancer.
Compared with the current 2-hour movie, this film is only 105 minutes, but its special slow rhythm will make you immersed in a long journey after watching it.
Slow photography
Photography is supposed to be a slow art. Compared with painting, although one-click imaging is possible, the process of debugging, lighting, and framing to the later stage is not simpler than painting.
The advent of digital cameras seems to simplify everything, and the time saved is really used by people to think about art?
The son asked his father, why don't you use a digital camera, and the father asked, have you ever touched a fake breast?
In the eyes of sophisticated people, many digital photos are just a piece of data, a touch of electronic dust, which is just a decent picture after a series of hundreds of photos that have been hit by the fortune.
Take a few minutes in the viewfinder, then press the shutter tremblingly, and finally wait for a few days to see the finished product. The emotion of exquisiteness, creation, and surprise is the soul of photography.
Some people say that art is a waste of time. In other words, he is a slow worker. So some things should not be replaced after all, because when they are eliminated, it is not that they are out of date, but the world is impatient. Just like the era of rampant digital media, we talk about hot spots and efficiency, while quality and originality have gradually been forgotten.
Slow travel
The travel of the protagonists is also very slow. The conflict between GPS and map is very interesting. We who are accustomed to the shortest distance to reach the destination have forgotten the surprises we encountered when we went the wrong way.
Also during the journey, some people will be annoyed by a torrential rain, while others will enjoy themselves. The world gives people the same things, different moods, depending on different understandings.
Sometimes, we think that free travel is the true meaning of travel. However, when overseas shopping service, check-in internet celebrity sites, and popular restaurants for planting grass occupy the travel schedule, I suddenly feel that I want to get in the car to sleep and get off the car to take pictures, and follow the long-distance bus to settle down.
One year I encountered a traffic jam on the road to Phoenix, so I finally had time to process dozens of photos in the camera, watched a movie, and then slept beautifully. Although it was already night when I arrived in Phoenix, I was full of energy to feel the nightlife.
Tribute to Kodak Film
Having watched "Easy Rider" and "On the Road", we are singing the praises of life and freedom. And "Kodak Krom Film" has more meaning, praising the years with Kodak company.
When the father and son arrived at the destination, the people who came to wash the photos gathered together to bid farewell to the end of the film era, and it was like a graduation ceremony for photographers.
Finally, I am fortunate to have never missed the film era, pay tribute to the slow past, and pay tribute to Kodak.
