Haneke's angle problem

Justina 2022-03-21 09:01:59

Between the expression and acceptance of the film, there is a "corner" issue that needs to be discussed. There are hardly any "straight" movies. Because "straight" itself also provides the interpretation of "angle". We can't be exactly what the director thinks. An acute angle is innocuous and sometimes cute. Like a sneeze in a prison environment. The right angle is abrupt, and it's a difficult piece to place. We start by questioning the legitimacy of its appearance in the film. Von Trier's films are right-angle films. Right angles are neutral when it comes to looseness and tightness. More often, the film's enemy is an obtuse, reverse pull. It is the consequence of a runaway ambiguity. The extremes lead to all our fun in putting the movie aside. Other times, an obtuse angle signifies an unexpected reputation, as in the case of "Room" becoming a film-history classic. In short, obtuse angles always tell about getting out of control. Diagonal attention is so important, but staying ambiguous is even more important.

    4.5. The videotape image not only negates the seen space, but also constructs a new space. In "Hidden", the construction-deconstruction-construction is the unease of the "viewer", which is replaced by suspense, but the latter is the only Necessary and vaguely referring to the unknown (perhaps the presence of the divine), but "Hidden" does not stop after dealing with the deconstruction of middle-class families and historical mirrors, international news on TV or Baudrillard-style "simulacrum-politics". metaphor

    The blood that spewed from the blade sealed the throat did not cleanse the innocence of the past, but added a more turbid thickness to the lingering black and white nightmare on the other side. The long shot at the end of the film, the reunion of the next generation on the steps, is to look back again, and it is a matter of enmity, unknown.

  • Georges Laurent: Isn't it lonely, if you can't go out?

    Georges's Mom: Why? Are you less lonely because you can sit in the garden? Do you feel less lonely in the metro than at home? Well then! Anyway, I have my family friend... with remote control. Whenever they annoy me, I just shut them up.
