Female: To be honest, after watching this movie, I didn't have a feeling, I just thought the music was pretty good! You say, why is this male lead so hypocritical? Whether it's good or bad, why can't people love it, and people can't hate it?
In fact, movies are now long past the era of sensationalism. Be patient and taste the stories that happen in your life. If you observe carefully, how can there be so many? Is that still called life? Especially the life of YouQi, a very long story, how could it be told in three acts and five acts, the final climax, making people tearful... That's not editing, what is it? We sometimes see old couples in the park and they are moved, wow, grow old together, so warm... You saw them when they were fighting, they have divorced a few times, you know? The old man told you what happened when he went to the pedicure...
Female: It makes sense! He may have also been to Dongguan...
That's right! No matter life or marriage, it's not as sweet as the photos, it looks so beautiful on the surface, and the gimmicks are for children to see!
Woman: What about documentaries? It's very touching, right?
Some of them just seem to be real, but in fact, many plots are staged, and they are all edited and processed products. The director blindly pursues sensational stories, wears a tall hat, and adds some chicken soup... Strictly speaking, it is true Some of them have no artistic content! But since there is a market, we should still support the audience to watch it, but in the future, we need to use our brains to screen it out, and don't take some tricks too seriously!
Woman: Yes! You should still pay more attention to Oscar
, for sure, where is Oscar, people don't see those rotten stories compiled in their eyes! So in this film, we use a pair of mature and intelligent eyes to find the straight and thick straight line in the life trajectory of the male protagonist... In this
film, pay attention to the title of the film, it is very helpful to understand the film. walk the line. When it comes to straight
lines, everyone pays attention to the fishing rod, the dialogue device toy at the end of the film, and a lot of shots of childhood trails.
Fishing, this leisure activity, actually contains many life philosophies.
We look at these pictures, two people fishing, throwing the rod, throwing it out in a straight line, one rod to the end, one road to black, unswerving, this is the film praised and emphasized!
The death of my brother has cast a shadow on the children. Everyone pays attention. Father's words are very hurtful. He said: I lost my best son... What about my own youngest son? There are many things to lose in life, we have to remember that what is lost is by no means the best!
Woman: How do you understand this?
Half a glass of water theory, the water in the glass is the best! The father finally understood this slowly, and was proud of his young son...
Besides fishing: In fact, sometimes in life, there is something to be had, and there is no need to force it in life. If the person is hooked, if it is not with you, it cannot belong to you, and the same is true of courtship. The two are not connected, it is impossible to come together, and they will be painfully combined, and finally they must be separated.
Marriage is not a state of fishing, between top and bottom, tearing the game, that will not be happy...
We analyze the movie. Through a picture, some props will associate with a lot of things, and there will be a lot of philosophical thoughts, but some are next to the theme, and some information needs to be filtered, but a lot of plots will tell you which ones are real The theme, we have to understand the thoughts and find the general direction of the story...
Female: Yes, yes, film critics really need to have such ability, otherwise so much information is piled up, and it is impossible to understand at all!
About Straight Line, remember: it's not family, it's not marriage, it's just career and dreams.
So when there are some extramarital affairs and drug use plots in the film, including the story between my childhood and my father, everyone can't find the theme, and they get dizzy!
Life is like this. The director actually wants to give the audience a lot of choices through various plots. We have to pick out the rough and straight career from the love line, life line, various story lines, and various memories. Lines...and exclude those curves or segments in life...
Woman: Oh, I get it! Do exclusion in all kinds of comparisons!
In fact, life is an elimination method. Each of us is making choices. Those who you think are the most important people in life, the most important things, those things that are worth accompanying you all your life, are worth sticking to, and accompany you to the end... ...
Female: The parents urged the child to go on the road, I noticed the dialogue: You are about to miss the bus... In the later plot, the child has not caught the last bus now, but walks slowly but happily...
Yes, there are many times in the film that A dirt road, that corner, has a purpose and pertinence, we must analyze it...
In fact, it doesn't matter whether I take the bus or not, it doesn't matter if I go there, it's the same when I walk. Look, the little boy used to be on the road and often stopped Stop and go... We have to pay attention, in fact, these details are carefully arranged.
Woman: What's the meaning of that?
Life, stop and rest, as long as the direction is correct, it doesn't matter whether it is fast or slow. The male protagonist of the film has also encountered bottlenecks in his career, setbacks, marital problems, and drug addiction... But do these affect his concentration in his career? And the career line he made has never had any fork in the road, it will always be his music dream, and the direction is clear...
Woman: That's right! After he chose and determined his singing path, he didn't get distracted and kept going! This movie based on the true musician biography, John Cash, his life recorded more than 1,500 songs, album sales of over 50 million, won 10 Grammy Awards
Woman: Yes, a musician and Elvis par , rock star.
Everyone pays attention to the duet between the male protagonist and Joan. There are a lot of shots, and it can be seen that the two are in line with each other in their careers. Kashi is already obsessed with Qiong to the point of being unable to extricate himself.
Looking at this scene, after taking drugs, the two flirted with each other in bed. What is the subtext? Joan is his anaesthetic! This woman is the drug that the male protagonist cannot live without!
Woman: Oh, I understand that. The symbolic meaning of drugs is great, and drugs also represent women and careers.
Yes, the key metaphor is what the male protagonist cannot do without, an indispensable element of life.
The two were able to come together in the end because of this kind of mutual support in their careers. Look, the two of them sang duet, there was a microphone, a lot of pictures appeared many times, long-shot close-ups, background music, look at their state at this time, performance... ...If you don't analyze the interpretation at this time, don't watch this movie!
Woman: How to interpret it?
Of course, it must be combined with the theme! Otherwise, no matter how much you gossip, you won't be able to find the artistic aspect of it.
Like two goldfish blowing bubbles in the fish tank? This is mutual support!
Woman: Yes, that microphone is the bubble they blow... Your metaphor is too vivid, it really looks like two lovely goldfish in a fish tank, and the heroine often wiggles her legs and tails...
They breathe together, Immerse yourself in the music together! They are exchanging ideas every day, creating and performing, and this interaction on the stage is completely different from the life of the ex-wife. It is no wonder that the male protagonist will leave his wife...
So this career line in Kashgar's life, On this small stage, can you accommodate your ex-wife?
In the end, the two divorced, and we have to understand these ideas passed on by the director. Of course, it doesn't mean that if you have a career, you have to get divorced and be a heartless person. If you watch movies like this, you will be crooked again! So I sometimes say that if you don't understand art, some things really can't be discussed! In this movie, he said that your three views are not right, how can you argue with him? Because it's not very correct, but the main line expressed in other people's films is career, it's a real biography, you can't change it, and there's no need to cover up this kind of thing, right?
Woman: Yes, that's what art is all about! No one takes extramarital affairs and divorce seriously!
As I said just now, fishing and marriage are choices. Those that belong to you and those that don’t belong to you. Choose with your heart. In your life, what do you think is the most important and feel the most? How many can you take on this career path? people?
Although Kashgar's marriage was broken, this straight road continued. The two continued to walk down, but they changed partners. After the marathon of love, Kashgar and Qiong established a family until they reached the end of their lives.
Woman: Oh, I see, Joan is the only one who can reach the end of her career with Kashi! Because their love line and career line merge together.
That's right, that's what the director meant!
The shadow of the protagonist back then was also. The death of his elder brother hit him hard. My elder brother can do everything, but he can't do anything, but he must learn to discover his own value and find his own way. The road in front of the male protagonist, his life choice, this clear straight line, is both an ideal and a destiny, destined!
It also created the love between the male protagonist and Qiong. Don't forget, these are real biographies and real stories. We also need to learn how to adapt real biographies, with unique perspectives and strong comprehension and summarization, so that we can find art and themes in these complex logical relationships.
Female: Yes, yes, I just listened to your interpretation of the singing scene, and I did realize that the director's intentions were all conveying the theme!
In this musical film, everyone watched the movie not to listen to the songs, but also to let the audience understand the life story and thoughts of the protagonist, to see that the male protagonist once climbed up from the struggle, and the indissoluble bond between music and him, they were happy, Released, what the singer conveys to the audience is everything in their hearts, happiness, distress, dreams...
Watch and listen, these two little goldfish sing everything in their hearts to you!
If the film can't find the theme, the audience will be confused. As a screenwriter's homework: Let's think about it later, how to write a story about an inspirational musician, how to create a male protagonist who was divorced, messed with women, and drugged?
The reason why most of the Oscar films are incomprehensible to our audience is because we cannot find those metaphors of life philosophy from the stories. Who told you to watch movies only for stories? Correct this concept as soon as possible, otherwise you will never appreciate the charm of Oscar, and will always be just that little kid who is immersed in stories and heroic characters... If you
love art, follow your heart and stick to it, unswervingly! This is not only a kind of spirit, but also the creed of all artists and successful people!
In addition, if you don't understand art and don't understand movies, you'd better pay more attention to this show. Don't be self-righteous and go all the way to darkness.
Female: That's right, the male is mainly tone-deaf. No matter how much he loves singing, he will never succeed!
Of course, to be an artist, in addition to perseverance and perseverance, methods and talents are also very important!
There are many Oscar-winning music-themed movies, and we will interpret them one after another in the future, so stay tuned!
