Woman: Hi, I found out that this short film has been played on the Internet since 2009, and I haven't seen a comment that I think is satisfactory until now. Read it again today, still the same, a lot of questions need your interpretation.
We have seen many short films about life. This film describes the vulnerable groups, and the disabled people's understanding of life and life is even more interesting.
Woman: So the characters are ugly, right?
That's right! But have you noticed that since 1922, the German invasion was mentioned in the dialogue, but none of the characters in the film were affected by the world war , and their lives were not in danger, but all of them lived happily.
Woman: Hey, really, stupid people have stupid blessings ! However, there is a lot of dialogue in this film, which seems to explain the story, but I didn't find a clear line. What kind of ideas does this film want to express, and how does the director metaphorize life? I feel that there are a lot of philosophies in it, but I can't choose from them...
That's what it's like to watch a movie! After observing and sorting out, you will find that in fact, every line of dialogue has its own purpose and refers to it!
Woman: No, it's too exaggerated! Then I can't find any metaphor and purpose in it. Is it too different in level?
Let me tell you this, all Oscar-level movies are not easy to understand !
Art that can be understood by an idiot is not called art! Even if you can understand the story, but many of the lens language and symbolic meaning, which thematic ideas conveyed... The average person still can't feel the pulse!
Woman: That's true. I've read a lot of reference books on movies, and they all seem to have their own way. There is no accurate score for the language of the shots. In the end, I still have a lot of difficulty in understanding these short films!
This shows that you have not yet entered a normal thinking system, and you have not yet figured out what the movie is all about! One word: the way is wrong!
Don't read a lot of reference books with hype, do you think you can play movies with that broken book ? joke! Art is so easy to understand, one by one has become a master.
Woman: But I feel that most of your points are not complicated at all, and I can understand them.
Two different things! That's why when I say you know it all, but when you see it for yourself, you're confused!
Woman: Ha, that's right!
Film itself is a popular art, but to understand this art, it needs artistic thinking and vision, which really can’t be explained in a few words...
I have so many film critics now, except for the people who like them, I think they can fit my heart, and the vision of the Oscar judges tends to be in line with the Oscar judges . I still can't understand the movie reviews... How big of a gap do you think this is?
Woman: Really, art is not something everyone can do! Now that I can read your "Books from the Sky", I'm pretty good at it ! Ha ha
Closer to home, let's talk about this short film. Let's start the analysis from the title of the film, and this film has mentioned nudes many times. Harvey is a nudist, and he often participates in performance art, stealing chickens...
Woman: Yes, I feel there is a way here, why?
Let's find a breakthrough to understand the whole article, let's focus on the theme first, otherwise you won't get the pulse of all the dialogue... Did you hear that nursery rhyme?
Woman: Yes, yes, praise God! Say God is better than football, beer...
Introduce dialogue:
god is better than football god is better than beer god is better than cricket because god is always there
You can keep talking to him and nagging over and over that God is better than football God is better than beer God is better than cricket because God is always there
...
God is always with us, at this time we have to think, who caused our misfortune?
Woman: Fate? God?
Let's look at this narration:
But his health is getting worse
He lost his hair but it grew back from his shoulders
Woman: Understood! That is to say, God deprives you in one way, and He will surely compensate you in other ways...
right! It is completely understandable. So we found that the bad fate of the male protagonist has actually been made up...
God has mercy on all life
Do ostriches have smaller brains? Then I'll make its eyes bigger...
Harvey infertile? Then I let them adopt a girl...
Deformed girl? Then I'll let the kind Harveys adopt him...
Parrots have no hair? I'll let its owner knit a sweater for it...
Yes, yes, although Harvey is an idiot, God has arranged for him to love his parents ...
So you see, God gives each life a different life. A cat has a cat, a dog has a dog, and a person has a life. If you can’t have a child, you can adopt one. If you can’t hold a nipple, you can hold a cigarette butt. It’s the same!
Female: Really stupid people have stupid blessings! It seems that in the dark, for these disabled people, they should be classified as outcasts of God, but they have been compensated by fate!
Do you see anything really missing in Harvey's life? Lack of happiness? Lack of luck? Lack of tobacco and alcohol? Missing women? Missing a family? Missing marriage? Missing children...? In the end, he felt that even the clothes were superfluous , what else did he lack?
Woman: Wow, that's a brilliant explanation. So this film is called Naked Harvey, implying that he lacks everything!
That's right, even thunder can't kill him, he has nine lives... What else does he lack?
Woman: Then why do you want to collect fakt? What is the significance of these plots?
By looking at these fakt, we can see some problems: In fact, idiots have idiots' fakt, but those have nothing to do with success!
It's like you know that elephants can't jump, so what?
Female: who care!
Idiots care! Just because it is a fact, it is the summed up experience of everyone in life, and it is also the harvest of his life. This is the so-called meaning of life, to perceive and experience life!
Just like smoking, when no one knows whether cigarettes are good or bad for the body, how many people will really refuse?
Woman: Indeed, no one would have thought that smoking was caused by lung disease at that time!
Besides, who knows whether the earth is round or flat, the people who wrote the Bible don't know!
Woman: What does this mean?
It shows that neither the wise nor the idiot can fully see the appearance of the world . On many issues, a wise person is just as stupid... But what is life itself? It is to accept and face everything that life brings, to think, to verify, and to persist in living!
Woman: Yes, I found that Harvey is a person who is constantly thinking and looking for direction in life!
It does! This is the meaning of life. Although his way of thinking is limited, it is not the path of the so-called successful people, but he has his own ideas and arranges his life according to his own rhythm...
It's like Harvey's wife, who died while making cakes with cream on her face... Some people feel sorry, lost, and sad for Harvey, but the director obviously wants to say: She died in happiness, 65 years old Come on! Cream on my face...
Woman: Well, as for the understanding of camera language, many people really haven't gotten to the point...
Everyone is ridiculous before God and the truth.
The key is: God is always by your side, you live calmly, face it bravely, and collect your facts...
Female: The introduction in the film says: Harvey's mother is addicted to checking her fingers and talking to people who don't exist... what does that mean?
Who do you think her mom is talking to? In fact, the director is implying you at this time that this woman is talking to God, because God is everywhere.
It's interesting to watch this drama
Harvey was born in a troubled world
Named Harvek Milos Krumpetzki when he was baptized...
Harvey later changed the name
Woman: Yes, change her name from Harvek Krumpetzki to Harvie Krumpet
Remember when Harvey was born, crying naked... Similarly, he may have heard God's advice that whenever he needs to vent and unload his burden, he will be naked... This should also be a kind of baptism, a coming-of-age ceremony. , for this idiot, God let him be baptized anytime, anywhere...
Woman: Maybe it was God's anger towards him, who asked him to change the name of his baptism!
Yup! Because God is by your side all the time, not far from left or right, and God knows what you do.
Female: In other words, God has given everyone a special arrangement, there is God's punishment, and there is God's blessing!
Woman: So, how should we interpret cigarettes?
Let's talk about this cigarette, some are slightly longer, some are shorter. There are a hundred dollars a piece, and a box of three dollars. There is a successful and great life, and there is also an idiot life.
Female: But who can say that so-and-so must be an idiot for life!
What you are missing, God will make up for you. What you have, God will take it away. Like this world war, could it be these disabled people who died on the battlefield? The lifespan is long and short. After you have smoked the one that belongs to you, you will face death calmly.
Woman: Yes, this is very philosophical! Perhaps it is really up to God to adjust, and the God of Destiny is in control! Another question, at the end of the film, what is the meaning of Harvey waiting for the bus?
Take it easy, and have fun! Face the bus that belongs to you calmly. As for whether it will come or not, you must be meaningless!
Woman: Why is this?
Life is actually waiting for something that doesn't exist...
You know that everything will disappear, what, ideals, life, health, wealth and success, and finally all return to zero...
Everyone lives in the unknown , is thinking and groping , picking one by one his own fakt, that is the fruit of life you are accumulating... But you still stick to it, this is life!
Woman: Got it all! As you said, there are hidden philosophical thoughts in every line of dialogue, but unfortunately I didn't see it. I would like to ask, is there really no reference book that can make me fully understand?
It can be said that, apart from my film review and the four-dimensional integrated pull film analysis method , there is currently no book or theory on the market that can help you and improve how much movie viewing can help you create!
Female: Well, in the past, I thought your words were bragging, but the current situation is in front of you. In the past few decades, no domestic film critics have been able to raise a banner and tell everyone what the film is about. , what happened to the Oscars, why did xx works win, and what's the good? Even Director Feng felt that Chinese film critics were unprofessional, and the audience was unprofessional ...
Yes, just like Chinese football, it is always impossible to play abroad. Everyone knows what level you are, you can't just look at ticket revenue! Of course, some people don't care about the score when they watch football, and they don't care about art when they watch movies. This situation is also very common. This is how the commodity economy is. Diversified, as long as you are happy! It can be said that when it comes to art, most people don't go that way at all...
Woman: Since they don't care about art, why do so many people still study art?
According to the inspiration of this short film, the cigarette in your hand must be finished ! Perhaps, they are just waiting for a bus that does not exist at all... I believe that sooner or later, they will discover the fact that they have exchanged time and money ...!
Female: Got it, I lied to myself, it's quite relieved! So how do you think Ang Lee stands out?
I figured it out! There is nothing in the book, but there is in the movie. Only by learning to use the movie as a teaching material can you realize something. The key is to have a method. I believe that the creative methods of those famous domestic directors are thinking and summarizing independently while watching movies!
Woman: I also think that Li An is an absolute master, and a master can only be taught by a master ! It would be absurd to believe that any professor could teach the scriptures!
