Polish director Kieszrovsky agreed to complete "Love Short Film" for the TV station in order to shoot his long-cherished "Murder Short Film". Maybe even he himself never thought that "Love Short Film" would be with "Murdering Short Film" was equally successful, both of which have now become masterpieces of films that reflect social issues. I watched the TV version. I believe most domestic audiences can only have this blessing. If "Murdering Short Film" is a question of life As the theme, "Love Short Film" raises the difficult question of what love is.
At the beginning of the film, the beautiful female artist [observed from the oil painting in the room] came to the post office and inquired about a remittance slip. In this scene, both male and female protagonists appeared. When the shy post office clerk told the woman that you did not send money, we immediately It has been known that there must be some subtle connection between him and her. In the processing of this shot, the director used the glass reflection of the ticket window to reflect the woman's face into the picture, as if deliberately creating this kind of ubiquitous conflict. However, this shot does help the audience to clarify the respective psychology of the two people, which is a very good shot.
The postman and the female artist live in the same apartment. If there is no postman peeping at her, maybe the two will never know each other. They will pass each other silently like most people. Role, the telescope he stole from the storage room, every night at eight o'clock, he would turn the telescope to the window of the female artist on time, this kind of absurd voyeuristic experience in reality is always used by the postman Plato in the film. Covered by such love, maybe the voyeur just wants to understand the lover more deeply on the outside, but what really exists in the heart of the voyeur is to get close to him, to touch the temperature of the lover's body, maybe that's all.
This is not a dreamlike mere figure, however, and when the voyeurism is revealed [by the postman himself to the woman], they talk in the cafe, which the postman asks, and he declines the woman's invitation for physical contact in advance, then The audience may think that Plato's love will really become the theme of the film, we may mistakenly think that it is really a self-examination of a slutty woman to seduce a virgin, but the following story broke some people's expectations, the postman in the cafe. The binoculars that deceived a woman were given to him by someone who had spied on her before before leaving. In fact, he stole it from him. The postman made up a story about a relay love. I did this because I really fell in love with her. Besides, there were people who recognized the beauty of women like him before.
We can't say for sure if the postman was sexually conscious of the female artist in the cafe, but then the woman invited her to her apartment, the woman is smart, she always takes the opportunity to laugh at her male companion, and the same goes for the postman, when the woman asks When he used to have sex with others, the postman was too embarrassed to tell his voyeuristic experience. After all, it was a disgraceful act, but in order not to be laughed at [obviously he had to save face in front of his lover], the postman stammered. Out of the previous process of the female artist from entering the house to lying on the bed with the man, the woman smiled awkwardly when she heard this, and she said to the postman: Look, this is love.
The postman is forced by the woman's provocation [the reluctance can be seen from the expression] and puts his hand between her legs, while the postman's landlord [his friend's mother, but not sure, the video lists across the apartment] The information is too little, and it is not enough to be believed] is repeating his previous peeping behavior, but the two people in the house are completely unaware, the old woman in front of the telescope, with a wrinkled face, he is watching another untimely love happen, She knew it wasn't an established love at all.
Sure enough, the postman who couldn't stand the female artist's teasing and teasing quickly fled from her apartment. The woman stared at every scene of his escape step by step. At first, she felt a little joy and satisfaction in her heart, but then she became worried about the postman. , she saw him leave so eagerly, and with a painful face, she began to feel that her actions hurt the young man.
In the apartment, the woman once asked the postman if he had ever masturbated when he spied on him during sex, and he replied: "I have, but never will, it seems like a sin, and he tried to forget the way of contacting women. But it is always dragged down by the first motive, because the motive is not completely satisfactory Plato, it is also full of carnal desires that make a woman accustomed to seeing men.
In "Love Short Film", the director tried to explain the serious consequences of deceiving and mocking each other when human beings fell in love. The postman in the film tried to cut his wrists. Fortunately, the old woman who peeped at him found out in time, and he was saved from death. In Clear Nightmare, the final scene of the film is at the post office, echoing the beginning, showing the film creator's parallel narrative concept. But the two sets of shots brought completely different feelings. When the woman saw the recovered postman, she immediately walked towards the window with a smile on her face, and then their faces were reflected on the glass of the window like the beginning. , However, there is no possibility of being together here. Under the happy eyes of the woman, he has been watching the front in silence, and the following sentence made the relationship between the two appear alienated in the image, and the postman was slyly. Between the lips: I no longer peep at you. The
post office is the opportunity for the relationship between the two. In order to create this opportunity, the postman risked being discovered by his boss and sent her a fake remittance slip. He also met more women. When she became a milkman in the community, every day at five o'clock in the morning, she saw him for the first time in the day when she opened the door. This would have been a beautiful love story, but in the end it was interpreted as a sad emotional experience. In fact, the film Finally, several possibilities are suggested. If the woman sees true love in the postman, this love will continue, or the postman will love her in a normal and open way from now on. In a way, the ending of the movie is undoubtedly Refutes Platonic love [maybe it existed, but when it happens to adults it is inevitable to have distractions], the image of women is superimposed on the side of the current concept of love in society [sleeping with different men, then mocking them, not serious] , and the postman in contrast to him is the most original appearance of human beings when they treat love: they have carnal desires and Plato's yearning. Because they have never experienced it, they respect and commemorate this love.
"Love Short Film" in the final analysis is to explore the due manners of mutual respect between people in love, but the result is not ideal.
