If he has seen Badiou's film on art and non-art The discussion of the relationship may not need to be tangled. In Badiou's view, the film is always making a certain choice, "but this choice is always incomplete", which may be the cause of Hitchcock's self-doubt. "Film always lingers on the edge of non-art. It is a kind of art that touches non-art, an art that is often full of mediocre forms. From a certain angle, it is lower than art or around art." But because of this. , "Film has expanded the boundary between art and non-art in various periods. It is on the boundary, mixing new forms of existence, art, or non-art." Moreover, when the audience can learn from The concept of "movie does not belong to art" enters film art to enjoy the "great art of rest" of film (I think these two sentences are another expression of film as a kind of popular art/culture), This "contradictory relationship between film's aristocracy and democracy, film's internal relationship between art and non-art" constitutes "the political span of film, which is the intersection between ordinary views and ideological work... ". Therefore, Hitchcock does not need to worry about the identity of the artist or the entertainer. He and his movies have moved between art and entertainment. “Movies are always on the other side of the border.”
Moreover, he should rejoice at this ambiguous identity and restore his humorous pride. Because in the matter of "the political span of movies", it is precisely because Hitchcock is a good entertainer. His subjects and styles such as horror/horror, suspense/solving crimes, love/erotic, absurdity/humor, etc. are often combined. The great success of the film was in the sense of the aesthetic regime of art with a distinct and equal political color of Lancière, “the abolition of hierarchical norms, leading to art and non-art, art and life With the disappearance of the boundaries, art has become an art that is infinitely open to life." It also allows the so-called hierarchical "perceptibility distribution" of art to be reconstructed, which is excluded by the original, artificially divided perceptual boundary. The insensible" became sensible. In this sense, the excellent entertainer Hitchcock is not only an artist Hitchcock, but also an artist Hitchcock who has made great achievements in aesthetics and politics.
Hitchcock also mentioned the absolute necessity of keeping pure silent movies. It is also a wonderful thing to quote Badiou's relationship between "love and film" again. "The reason why movies are similar to love is that it is not an art of speaking. Please listen to me clearly: people speak in movies, and the lines are very important, but we still have to remember that movies can be silent, it can be Shut your mouth. Therefore, although the lines are very important but not essential elements, movies can also be silent art, a sensual but silent art. Love is also silent. I want to put forward a definition of love:'Love is Silence after the declaration.' People say:'I love you', and then there can only be silence. Because in any case, this declaration creates a situation. Its relationship with silence and the presence of the body are suitable for movies. Movies. It is also a kind of body art, a kind of nude art. In this way, a certain intimacy is created between film and love." "From this perspective, I think the movement of film comes from love and goes to politics. , And the movement of drama is from politics to love."
Write a small episode, which was watched at London ICA on Sunday three weeks ago. Director Kent Jones had a Q&A with the audience after the screening. The first question is that the directors and film critics who commented on Hitchcock in the film are all male, why there is no female image. At that time, the OS in my mind was really a tasteless question for asking, but I think it is still necessary to ask. . . . So I saw the director slowly phrasing words and making sentences on stage, accompanied by long pauses. In the quiet pause, I seemed to hear the sound of the politically correct nerve slashing in his mind while he was cautiously phrased. In short, he first said that indeed the number of female directors, female producers, and female practitioners in the film industry are disproportionately low. Then he asked a female film critic to say that the schedule was not suitable. , I also found someone who seems to be sick. In short, he wanted to find someone who really understands Hitchcock’s personality to comment, instead of adding a female to get a female head (this is the truth) Huh... Ah so tired).
