The American film industry is so powerful that it has both the cultural hegemon of Hollywood and the masses of independent films. The big contrast to the clichés of horror movies is that the low-cost scenes that shoot small characters use completely different languages and images, and virtually break the Hollywood illusion about America. Instead of LA and NY, the lifeless and unnamed towns, the characters are neither handsome, handsome, but also wealthless. The story may be plain and watery, with a basket of sesame mung beans. How does it look like a European art film at first glance? But Americans can keep people from falling asleep after depriving them of orgasm and skills, and feel a little warm in their hearts. Compared with Hollywood productions, these films are artistic films. Compared with European films that like to use ethereal lenses, non-linear editing, and mysterious dialogue, they do not have the high profile of highbrow. Just like good old folk songs~~~
"Thumsucker" talks about teenage crisis, "Lonesome Jim" talks about 20 something crisis, "I Heart Huckabees" talks about 30 something crisis, and midlife crisis may become B film.
I like these three films, and I honestly shoot the little people. Little people always feel lonesome, little people always have no ambitions, little people are kind and selfish, and little people want to escape but lazy. Small people are surrounded by more small people. Little people = me.
