Youth growth and first acquaintance with love are common experiences. These two aesthetic films have similar situations and use similar film languages. A visual comparison of two beautiful films. Notice how touch, hearing, smell, and taste are described in love stories.
1. One of the beginning
of the story,
"Call Me by Your Name", introduces important characters into the scene. First, Elio is lying by the window. The windows here are like portals to stories, attracting the audience to wonder what kind of things will happen outside the window.
"Carol" is slightly different, because the movie starts with Carol and Therese meeting, and then flashes back to Therese's past. The role of the window is also to open the door to the story.
One or two
Elio looked down from the top, with a contemptuous meaning. Don't forget that he didn't like strangers occupying the room at first.
Therese actually looked down on Richard, but she didn't realize it. After comparison, Therese repeatedly looked at Carol from bottom to top, distinguishing the importance of the two in Therese's heart.
One of
the scenes that Elio saw, Oliver did not look up.
But Richard looked up at Therese. Therefore, during the period of their relationship, Richard was more sticky to Therese.
Second, the tactile test, touching the shoulder is a reasonable range,
but Oliver knew that the shoulder pressing was too much, and he just grabbed someone else to correct the cover.
Carol, in the gesture of elder care, intends to blur the message of stroking her shoulders
3. Attraction of hearing. The
player is placed near the screen, and the other party is placed far away, showing Elio's strong attraction.
Carol was not only attracted, but got up and crossed the boundary of the room and approached Therese.
Fourth, olfactory attraction
Elio got into Oliver's pants. It was really... a very strong performance.
Usually smelling each other's clothes is a more subtle feeling.
5. Attraction of the sense of taste
Most of the eating and drinking in the movies often have hints of eroticism. Oliver's love of eggs has made me chuckle to myself.
When Elio got apricot juice all over his body, I felt that the sexual suggestion was quite obvious, but I didn't expect extended masturbation.
Therese often watched Carol eat food, and the director mostly handled it with restraint. The only wild one was nibbling at an apple in the car.
6.
Fascinated The bed scene in "Carol" that turns the camera upside down is obviously used to describe the feeling of being fascinated. Another meaning of "Call Me by Your Name" is to call it upside down, I become you, and you become me.
Seven, lingering hugs
Cate Blanche once said that she liked the scene of the two people hugging in "Carol", and she couldn't tell whose arm was the one. In fact, it can still be distinguished, this is just a description of lingering and intertwined. "Carol" uses arms, "Call Me By Your Name" uses legs.
8.
Why does the window view of the metaphorical parting have a feeling that the origin of a good dream is the most easy to wake up? It should be the sense of distance in the gaze that makes people feel that it is about to end.
9. Picking Up and Picking Up
Both the movies have a character who drives the sad person home. "Call Me By Your Name" is expressed by her mother, and "Carol" is taught by her ex-girlfriend.
10. Missing can only be entrusted
to the phone. Both of them confided on the phone that I miss you. It was the good old days, Carol explaining the breakup with a letter, and Oliver explaining the marriage and farewell with a phone call. Modern people probably only use WeChat to get everything done.
11. My heart is colder than ice
and snow. The love affairs of "Call Me by Your Name" all happened in summer, and the icy and snowy shots made lovelorn even more bitter.
Although "Carol" all took place in winter, the director was able to use Richard's shaking his head and back, as well as the wind to blow the stubborn leaves, to make his heart colder than ice and snow.
