"Mysterious Eyes"

The Secret in Their Eyes

Hello everyone, today we are going to pull an Argentine movie "Mysterious Eyes". It tells the story of retired prosecutor Benjamin trying to uncover the truth about a rape-murder case more than two decades ago. The film won the 82nd Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The movie contains many moving elements, such as love, murder, pursuit of murderers, political horror, brotherhood, etc. The elements are complicated, but the viewing is smooth and comfortable, and it is done in one go. This has a lot to do with its standard Hollywood narrative structure. It has 15 narrative beats summed up by the playwright theorist Mr. Blake Schneider, and our pull film today is based on these fifteen narrative beats. Pulling the film: Pulling the film, we divide it into two aspects: playwriting and audiovisual. Our way is, I first introduce the meaning of each beat, and then everyone goes to the corresponding segment corresponding to this beat. to feel to experience. When we're done reading this paragraph, I'll make points worth discussing, which includes playwriting skills, audiovisual skills. (Scene, composition, color, lighting, scene scheduling, camera movement, sound editing angle) Welcome everyone to participate in the discussion, ask questions, and make corrections. Why pull this movie? Before officially entering the pull tab, let's talk about a question. Can be understood and understood what is the construction of a movie story, and what are the elements that make up a movie story? What is a film story: Film stories revolve around characters, desires, and conflict. All comprehensible stories are about who the character is, what did he want first, why did he want it, what method would they use to get what he wanted, what stopped them, and what were the consequences? So what it is how to knit? Desire: To want something. Love, money, revenge, or getting out of your inner predicament. Obstacle + Desire = Conflict + Action = Event + Customer Service = Climax + Ending = Story. Literary and commercial decisionsfixed elements. (What exactly determines art or business? Who will answer?) There are three levels of conflict: confrontation with others (the confrontation between people), against the environment (with nature, with disasters, and with the times), and with oneself (conflict with oneself). ). Particular emphasis on others ("Avengers", "Transformers", "Captain America" ​​absolute villains, popcorn. Melodrama, suitable for all audiences. Intellectuals may not like.) Particular emphasis on the environment ("Alive", "The Revenant" ", "The Last Emperor", "Dancing With Wolves") usually show the characteristics of the times and can be commercial films. But there are certain requirements for the audience's aesthetics. Special emphasis on self ("The Seventh Seal", "Days on the Cloud", "Red Desert", "Virgin Spring" are common European movies. Intellectual movies.) Are there any greedy movies , that is, to take care of the public viewing experience, or have Times, and can face the difficulties of life? Yes, there are many. "Saving Private Ryan", "The Shawshank Redemption", "The Godfather", "Artificial Intelligence", "Titanic", "Interstellar" and these films that stand on the top of the pyramid of film history are all greedy. They have a literary core and a commercial shell. Nucleus is a life dilemma, a conflict with yourself. The shell of the business is to define the genre and the style of the play. We are going to pull this film, it is such a movie. That goes into today's pull-tab tour. "The mystery of an eye," not only explicit type in the standard narrative also beat Blake Schneider's 15 narrative rhythm. We watch the movie in beats. At the end of this paragraph, we take a closer look at what this beat does. As well as analyzing audiovisual techniques that deserve attention. Including scene, color, composition, lighting, angle, scene scheduling, sound, editing. First, a first opening sequence . The opening movie screen analysis of party law, from loveStart with the thread and think about how this emotion affects us through performance, audio and visual. 1. Opening. What kind of emotion? Sadness, sadness of parting. See how this emotion is realized. What melody is this melody in the movie? Main melody a. The melody of music, piano music, sadness. At first, the pure and clear single tone of the piano swayed from far to near, and began to convey a gloomy and melancholy emotion. The accented note at the end is crisp and powerful, a sense of power. After we read the story, we looked back and listened to this melody, and it was not difficult to find that it accurately presented the tone of the story as soon as it appeared, deep, restrained, hesitant, profound, and loving. A pair of enigmatic eyes looked at it, the train was moving, Irene was chasing her love that was drifting away, the hands outside the window and inside the car were interlocked through the glass, like one body, the melody also rose, the sound increase. The theme song appears four times throughout the film. We next pay attention to where the remaining three main themes are and what emotions are expressed. After watching the movie, look back again. b. Why does the image have to deal with such an effect. 1. This is a memory. 2. Parting at the station, everything is blurry except her eyes. The environment is blurred, and so is the surrounding crowd. The hands that wanted to grasp were clear. This shows the state of mind of the protagonist, missing, wanting to grasp, unable to face. 2. Presenting the four letters written by the subject in his sleep in the fifth minute, I am afraid. Lack of A, this is a story about getting rid of fear and facing love. 1. This is an old man chasing past memories , and he is not satisfied with the scene of the farewell at the station as the beginning of the novel. Let's see what he thinks again. A sweet morning, a sweet breakfast for a couple. What emotions do we feel? Fairytale love (ask question) to see how this emotion is realized. In terms of styling, the wife has long hair and is wearing a floral skirt. When she moves, she touches sweet jam and black tea images. Soft light filters are like a layer of grease on the lens. Sunshine soundtrack: (music box) fairy tale. Music Box: What does a music box stand for? fairy tale. The first gift I gave girls when I was a child was a music box. Boys are naive now chasing girls, what to give? Send IPHONE. A couple who had been in love for three years in high school, at the station where they were about to leave for college, the boy chased after the girl and said, Xiaohua, this is the latest IPHNOE, I worked for two months to save money and bought it for you, I know you love it Song, those good music in the music box, the city in the sky, the Canon, you can listen to the next software. Two months later, the girl used the phone to chat with other boys. Even if you don't talk on the phone, you will lose it when you use it. If you send a music box, even if it is old, it will still smell. Music box, good memory. The protagonist is still dissatisfied when he thinks of these, and what does he think of? 2. brutal cold violent rape scene and asked the question: Why this treatment? Triggers the audience's curiosity about who this man is, what he's been through, and why he's doing it. Arousing the curiosity of the audience is the ticket that really causes the audience to voluntarily walk into the plot of the movie. On the contrary, there are some movies, violent greetings, come and see, I am a good movie. What I mean by this is that some movies have gorgeous special effects at the beginning, and the audience is afraid that the audience will not know that it costs money, but these things have nothing to do with the narrative. Its meaning is just that the director is addicted to it. What is dramatic tension? Off key plot point in a notebook to write down the word curtain, fear. Watching the full play knows that this is the theme of the entire film. As the movie says, this middle man is so afraid of love that he faces love. Three, paving. The rhythm of about 1 to 10 minutes often lets us know who the main character is. How are they related to each other. It also shows what the world the protagonist lives in originally looked like. In this slaughter beat, three key figures are shown to us. The hero and heroine and Babu, let's focus on how these three characters are constructed. Beats are not isolated from each other. We just found off node key, enter the second act when the follow-up, these episodes are in the bedding and construction. The protagonist comes back to the old unit and sees the heroine 1. LordWhat kind of person is the corner? Compliment the angel to the pretty lady , like the security guard mocking himself for being a nuisance, and complimenting the security guard for his radiant complexion. There's also a little humor. Compliment others, not pretentious, not hypocritical. What kind of person is this? With just a few strokes, the outline of what kind of person the protagonist is is clear. There is one detail. When he met the second lady, he wanted to say that the door to heaven was opened and the angels descended to earth. People ignored him. He didn't say anything. What did he mean? Explain that this is a trick. But pay attention, the old man with the special routine, why didn't he tell the heroine? What does this reveal? 2. Who is the heroine? Observe what clothes she wears all the time in the film ? Color , big red. Red clothes, red curtains, red wallet. Red necklace. Including flashbacks, the first meeting is still red. There are positive and negative sides to any color. (Energy, positivity, enthusiasm, warmth, sensuality, authority, confidence, blood, violence, jealousy, control) We can't describe it exactly, but we know this coloration is positive in her. Note: In future plots, what kind of clothes does the heroine wear, and what is the corresponding plot? props, red roses on the table. A woman with red roses always on the table. (Dr. Sun Yuzhong, please explain, what does this mean?) Plot points: 1. Whether to talk about important things, close the door. 2. A lens language that typewriters lack. 1. Why do you need camera scheduling? It is to hide the camera video player. Original film, fixed shot. People look at the screen like they are watching a stage play. Later development, if the camera is the eye of the audience, the audience can be more immersed in the story. So the meaning of camera scheduling is to hide the camera. Be concise and precise. The lens moves with the heroine, forming a depth of field shot, which is natural and concise. 2. Why the focus is not given to Babu, because the camera directly tells you that there is no Babu in the heroine's eyes, she is in love at first sight. Of course the music is also emphasizing, a note to render. how accurate. Fourth, incentive events / turn 110 minutes about 12 minutes question: What is the incentive event? A beautiful woman was brutally killed. Xueying explained the incentive event. Breaking the balance of the protagonist's original world, he opensStart the journey. Analysis, what motivates him? What upset the balance of his original world . A beautiful woman was brutally murdered. The reason why Inciting Events can motivate the protagonist is that Inciting Events can arouse the protagonist's conscious and unconscious desires. Surface desires and latent desires. The male protagonist is not a conscientious person, what makes him rise to the challenge? The conscious desire is why to treat a beautiful woman so brutally. We watched his actions before, and praised angels when they saw beautiful women. He had a conscious love for beauty. The unconscious desire is that he has a yearning for pure love, sincere and pure love is his desire. He was unable to see a hurt husband. The Inciting Incident is the key that allows the protagonist to gradually see the most essential self. Analysis: Braveheart Inciting Incident is Wife Killed. The superficial desire is to avenge his wife, and the latent desire is to liberate his people, so that more families will not be hurt again. The twist: The suspect is found, but questioned. V. dispute / struggling 110 minutes at about 12 to 25 minutes around the clock dispute: a good boss framed, arrested two innocent people. Struggle: Whether to give everything to catch the real killer. Note that the male protagonist came to the cell, what are the characteristics of the composition, the level is inclined? Why lean? Was there such a composition in the previous paragraph? Reverse black and white. The world is tilted. The second act bridging point 110 minutes around 25 minutes it tends to be the hook of the story, he intensifies the conflict, creates dramatic tension, and promotes theThe color and the story enter the second act. Explain the concept that this "hook" is not the same as an option's hook. The hook here refers to a kind of unknowing question from the audience after knowing the protagonist, what the original balanced world was, and how the balanced world was broken, what the protagonist should do to solve his predicament. The hook of this story is "who is the murderer", and the deeper hook is how Benjamin changed his "fear". The second act of Braveheart is where Mel Gibson's wife is killed and he kills his wife's killer, triggering an impending storm. What will he do? The connection point or hook of the second act of "Mysterious Ridge" is that the new body is found. After the corruption case is ruled out, what should Zhao Hanzhong and Li Haoyang do? Audio-visual: In the segment of the dispute, the camera was replaced with a handheld camera, and the strong sense of breathing made us vividly feel the atmosphere of the dispute. Handheld is not abused. Assuming that the entire film is hand-held, there is no point. What is the B-story about the 30th minute when the B-story bar found Babu? A B- story is a story that reveals the essence of the protagonist. "Braveheart" B-story is the love with his wife and the love of Sophie Marceau. It reveals what kind of person Mel Gibson is, and it gives A Story's characters the source of their power to act. The B-story of Titanic is hitting an iceberg. It's not enough to say I love you, neither is a good sexual experience, it's a test of love, an iceberg crashing, life and death, it tests out the essence of the protagonist. Winslet gave up getting on the boat, Leonardo gave up his life. Question, what is the theme of the Titanic? Specifically, love is the courage that comes from love. The courage to die and the courage to live. Love is the source of courage. What is the B-story for this movie? The relationship between Benjamin and Babu. Because, the source of fear comes from the death of Babu . The key to closing the door of love is guilt toward friends. Or guilt. What did we see in the tavern looking for Badu? What is their relationship? Why have such a character ? I think it's the relationship with Babu. Babu was a knot in his heart that he didn't dare to face. Babu is an alcoholic, and he has to pay Babu to drink as usual . A B-story is a story that carries the theme of the movie. A close friend died because of himself, and he felt guilty all his life, unwilling to face his love. B story isA movie-themed story. Let's analyze who is Babu? Obviously Procuratorate, the electrical connection Babu as saying that the blood bank. Explain who Babu is? We know that the follow-up story, he was often to do so. The next two people joked, explaining that the male protagonist and Babu are iron buddies. Why arrange for Babu to be an irresponsible person? 1. For the depth and moving of the characters. Profound is showing the complexity of the characters. Doing something he saw the impossible situation . A person who doesn't have any sense of responsibility can die for a friend. A person who lives in a unit can die for a friend. This also gives us a revelation of life, life from Ge small to judge a person all is not rational. For example, it is often said that this person loves to be late, so he must be unreliable and achieve nothing. This is debatable. 2. To show the unusualness of the relationship. Repeatedly paying for a hopeless drunk shows how deep their relationship is . Game time is a long time 110 minutes the movie will beat accounted for about 25 minutes travel show time, usually to explain why we look at the nature of the film. This is a suspense film about murder, the audience expectswhat to see? See who the murderer is and how to catch the murderer. Game time is also a major source of footage for movie trailers. It is the most engaging and stimulating paragraph. The male protagonist opened the photo and found the mysterious eyes, which triggered the beginning of the game paragraph, and the prelude to a hunt for the murderer kicked off. But this story is rather special. There are two opposites, who is the murderer and the corrupt system. He is more realistic and does not have very dramatic plots, but vividly shows the many obstacles that the protagonist faces to catch the murderer. There's not much to talk about here, just pay attention to how Benjamin catches the killer step by step, and what obstacles he encounters along the way. To express the sadness of the husband, in addition to the performance, the composition. The show pays attention to why her husband is covering his face, a little trick. Give the audience imagination. Don't express heart-wrenching grief in front of the camera. Film is the art of association, the art of restraint. 1. A nice horizontal scheduling. Hidden camera, can not be abrupt. A depth-of-field long shot is actually equivalent to a combination of long-range, panoramic, medium-range, close-up, and close-up shots. Real time, real space, real process, the atmosphere really, really 1. Stresses the fact that the movie was a real advocate is inwit judges scheduling "documentary doctrine" 2. Qing dye mood and atmosphere is very nice. A long shot paragraphs. 3. It can also be cut, and the reaction of cutting back and forth is also possible. But long-winded, deliberately. To be plain, natural, concise and accurate. All audiovisual techniques serve the narrative. They are all for the immersive viewing experience of the audience. 4. It can also save the shooting time. Three photos, what is the hero doing? The details show logic. Did the actor discover the suspect by accident? The charm of the subtext The light of the dialogue is the subtext subtext, that is, the implication that is not fully expressed in the lines, but it also implies something. And that's not what it says is the truth. Similar to our daily life, our true thoughts are hidden under words. The meaning of the subtext is to shape a rich inner world and see real characters. On the surface, I talk about the appearance of the wedding 25 years ago, but in fact I talk about regrets about that decision. saw their real relationship. Ban's "As if I'm Another Man" plot point, closed. What is the meaning of the 55th minute of the 110 minute movie at the middle point? Change the direction of the story. The Hollywood narrative structure is validated by psychological experiments. The existence of the middle point is to press the audience to the seatkey. Making the protagonist unable to retreat is the critical point where there is no way out. must move forward. It is usually, a false victory or a false defeat. The audience will see this and be curious, what to do next? Benjamin caught the killer. It stands to reason that the story is coming to an end, but we know it's a false victory. "Saving Private Ryan" Tom Hanks in a bitter disagreement in the team that took down the hill. The Lord of the Rings wizard in white dies. 'Titanic' hero and heroine have sex. In "Mother", the mother determines that there are other murderers. "Seven Deadly Sins" found that the motive for the murder was related to Dante's Divine Comedy, and found the key to solving the case. The audience is full of expectations for the follow-up plot. "Monster of the Han River" is the first head-to-head encounter between Song Kangho's family and the monster, and his father died. out on a limb. "The Defender" is that after Song Kanghao learned the information, he came to the door of an old lawyer and asked Ying to defend. A six-minute stitched long shot. Pseudo-long shots, which are not shot in one shot, are seamlessly connected through different scenes, which look like one shot in order to maintain the mood and atmosphere, and the connection is smooth. The reason for seamless stitching is to change the photography method (one photography method cannot do it) and seamlessly link the scenes. (The scene is spliced ​​out) This paragraph is hand-held photography, with a strong sense of breathing, which vividly conveys the excitement of pursuit and capture to the audience. The enemy is approaching 55 to 75 minutes literally. The game time is to take the initiative to catch the bad guys. In this paragraph, the bad guys come to the door . Beat in this unit, tells the story of the murderer was caught, he thought round full end, I did not expect, the murderer became a military government lackeys, the elixir. Kill Pablo. interrogation session. Hand-held photography, telephoto lens, more and more shaking as the character's mood changes. This allows us to experience the emotions of the characters. Big panorama, a few movesLet us vividly know the joy of my husband knowing the result. Film is a restrained art, and the best expression is restrained and condensed. Translator Fu Fu Lei once said in a letter to his son Fu Cong, who is a conductor, that a conductor should have the ability to fascinate the audience, but not himself. This is about the restraint function of art. Actors should keep in mind that they are overwhelmed with emotions, and they are moved to cry to the fullest. What space is left for the audience? I feel very distressed about myself, how should the audience feel distressed? Only restraint and condensed can let the audience participate and bring in, can stimulate the audience's association, and stimulate the audience's association is the most effective way to let the audience participate. But the music is so sad. Foreshadowing for the follow-up. leave the station. The station parted, the main melody sounded. Please Yuzhong analyze the interrogation, the murderer's reaction is true? Where does Benjamin's guilt come from ? ? ? Own appointment for love, love that night is going to love confession. Leave friends at home and die tragically. Love and guilt are hooked. After 75 minutes of nothing, Pablo died, parted from the station, and completely left the person he loved. Nothing: Literally, the protagonist loses everything , scarred and hopeless. But we know that this is only temporary, and he can only usher in the final climax when he hits a low point. "Saving Private Ryan" has nothing to do. After crossing all kinds of dangers, he saw Ryan, but Ryan refused to leave the position. The action of saving people ended without illness, and the dark night of the soul did not even have faith in the face of true love, but like a friend, Benjamin said, "That kind of life has passed away, and we must live in the present." Subtext, face the facts at hand . Miller and his surviving team members felt that all their efforts were in vain and considered where to go. Fear of love, 85 minutes to face love, the connecting point of the third act, how can a person waste his life, this question inspired him, whether his husband lost his beloved, whether he can accept it, can live in the moment , and can face the facts. He wants to visit him. Miller in Weiand his team, decided to stay with Ryan to defend the bridge. Find regrets. Benjamin's life was changed by that tragedy. He wanted to know the answer. Man of the public to find a husband, wanted to find out, what courage can make him 25 years to escape. Go to the husband to find the answer, how to come here all these years. Husband said that everything is in the past. The male protagonist did not find the answer, and said what he has been carrying all these years. The guilt hero and heroine talked about that another life has passed away. To live in the moment. All that was in the past no longer exists. In the 85-110 minutes of the ending, the hero opens his heart, and the A hero opens his heart. In this world, people can pretend to be anything except their love. The third appearance of the theme song in the movie is drawing to a close, the Benjamin join in his sleep before he wrote [TEMO] (fear) it is the word [A], then [became] TEMAO - I love you. I want to use the theme song to show that Benjamin is suddenly enlightened at this time, and finally decides not to run away or dodge the love that has been buried deep in his heart for 25 years. He realized that because of his cowardice, indecision, evasion, and dodging, he not only harmed himself, but also obliterated Erin's desire for love, pursuit and lifelong happiness. The final screen door closes, the heart door opens ④ The last appearance of the theme song is the end of the film. Benjamin bursts into Erin's office to talk to her- Erin: It's troublesome and complicated. Benjamin: I don't care. Erin smiled, and the theme song happened in sync with Benjamin's closing. Implying that the ending is good, this belated "long talk" is a bit late, but it's still here. Listening to the theme song again at this time, it seems that the previous suppressed emotions are not so obvious, replaced by hope, longing, comfort, and upcoming happiness. My heart is also excited with the long-lost door closing sound and the theme song, rippling, filled with a lamentable beauty complex. IV. Clues
