What a gorgeous technique ~ ubiquitous symbols and conflicting montages, the Odessa ladder comparison technique is also very obvious here, especially in the scene of chaos and large crowds, the effect is very strong, especially deliberate To highlight a certain awareness or feeling of one party. One is moving and one is still, one is more and one is less, one is high and one is low, one is near and one is far, the superimposed transition of the opposite content, and even the contrast of expressions and makeup... (Think about it, many times people are describing The lower class always deliberately dresses them up as "ugly" (appearance), which is very prejudiced~ Probably until later, more directors would treat their protagonists as mysterious people rather than tools. —— This may be the great thing about Russians writing little people~~) but it is too fast, and the restorer should consciously retain this "fast" feature, and even strengthen it (because the frame rate of the Chinese subtitles found is wrong~ but it seems The subtitles are even faster~) I remember putting Madame Dubari at 1.5x it wasn't that fast, let alone watching a lot of German movies that were especially slow. However, after 11 years of kino restoration, the soundtrack is also exquisite, and the change of rhythm fits the film well~ In fact, some subtitles are not understood~ When it comes to fast, it seems that my eyes and thinking are not suitable for the processing of this kind of footage, it seems that sometimes I have to force it A shot lasts more than 3 seconds, especially if it has narrative significance, otherwise it will be confusing. It is also necessary to watch it several times to understand the uniqueness of "fast" and "conflict". Anyway, this is a very strong attempt.
