This year's Robin Wright's debut feature film "The Earth" is based on Nomadland's naturalism, which is essentially chicken soup for the soul of Bourgeois. Earlier, there were "Survival in the Wilderness" and "Into the Wild". Oneself, returning to nature and staying away from the hustle and bustle in search of spiritual redemption. Unlike the other three protagonists who choose to take the initiative to go on the road, the original Nomadland describes the nomadic people who are forced to wander on the road, but they actually exist in the movie. On the contrary, the heroine also took the initiative to go on the road, free from the nomadic crowd, she was in order to obtain emotional comfort and soul redemption in nature, the bottom-level care in the background setting was completely disintegrated by personal emotions, and she avoided the important and changed the topic lightly, reduced to Bourgeois Experience life, see heaven and earth, see yourself, but don’t want to see all beings. “The Earth” is also shot with natural scenery and soothing music, but at least it is not so hypocritical, or soothing or magnificent soundtracks. It is very common in natural scenery documentaries. Ambient sound is the true meaning. Although the soundtrack can immediately mobilize the audience's emotions, it is very overwhelming and shatters the invaluable sense of reality.
Nomadland heroine Frances McDormand (please stop calling her "Sister Cohen", her name is Frances McDormand) mocks herself for playing the same role. In this film, not only is the role wandering, but the performance is also the same. Most of the nomads who arrived were the prototypes who played themselves in their real names. Her performance was unreal in front of them, dwarfed by comparison, and unable to convince this fictional character. The technique of playing oneself was used in a similar theme "In the Siberian Forest" a few years ago. The male protagonist sat beside them like an audience, chatted with them naturally, and listened to their stories. The difference is that the male protagonist has The prototype is the author of the original book. He is very happy that the people written in the book will appear. The director believes that their participation will make the film more authentic, and after the shooting, the director arranges for local villagers to watch the film made in the local area. The aerial view of the drone with Baikal is stunning.
In fact, no matter whether it is living in the city or returning to nature, there is no higher level and more meaningful. If others are hell, nature may also be hell. The naturalism advocated by the West may not be universally applicable. The heroine's choice of natural production instead caused a tragedy. In fact, when watching a movie, you can't temporarily stay away from the hustle and bustle.
Both are female wanderers, Agnès Varda's "The End of the World" is more extreme, the same is the bottom care, Ken Loach's decades of persistence are sharper, and the same is the lonely state of mind, Andre Palaulo "Han" "Na" is even more suffocating, the water is deep and shallow, and the clouds come and go to the mountains. Who is not a passer-by in this world, at this moment, I really need to go out and breathe.
