In fact, I haven't specifically compared the difference between European and American films before. Take French films as an example. The overall feeling is that literature and art, and American films are dramatic and exaggerated.
Later, I learned that European films are good at using long shots-to show the state of life, trying to let the audience come to their own ideas and ideas; while American commercial films, through a large number of shots, lead the audience to watch, the dramatic effect is strong. Therefore, this French film deeply feels a lot of long shots.
It turns out that the difference between shooting techniques and audiovisual effects has become the style of the film.
To be honest, the long shot makes me feel sleepy, but it is so close to the movie, the French life style is right in front of me. A very comfortable love movie, at least I can't feel the mood.
Although there are many long shots, there are a lot of parallel montages when the hero and heroine "miss" each other. The protagonist’s inner words are often expressed through narration, but the female image is mysterious. The pictures of the other half of their memories were processed, and the tone was yellowish, like old photos. My favorite is the beginning, introducing the hero and heroine. At the beginning, the camera is facing the blue sky and white cloud sky. A long shot (with the voice of the heroine telling the story), then shakes to the heroine. When the story is about to end, the camera is going down. She has a daughter—it turns out to be a married woman. The actor's appearance is also great, driving and playing with his son. The long shot is really great here, introducing the characters and showing that the two protagonists love their children very much.
Finally, the heroine's smile is so beautiful.
