1 Everyone is supported by a value, and every movie also has a value that belongs to it. During the screening process, the film is conveying its values to the audience. What gives a film its values is largely the director. As far as the poor mountains are concerned, it is even more so, from the screenwriter to the director to the producer is the same person - Terence Malik. The story of this film is born out of reality, and the actions of the protagonist are extremely brutal and bloody. However, in the film, the director narrates the story in a soft and romantic way, losing the correctness of the basic human moral value judgment. The first is the handling of the voice-over. The audience often agrees with the angle and content of the voice-over. The voice of a naive, ignorant and irresponsible girl, Holly, mostly tells about her love for kit. Mistakes begin with love. was a beautiful mistake and can be forgiven. Everything stems from youth and ignorance, and it is inevitable for young people to make mistakes. The second is the handling of the plot, the wooden house on the tree, the fork fish by the river, the director used beautiful shots to show their escape life, which seems to be conveying the message: killing, even killing the lover's father can start a romance The journey of life. In the end, after Kit was arrested, he won the love of many police officers. He is a character boy. The murderer who killed nearly ten people for no reason was a man with a lot of personality. In short, the film spreads the bad message that fundamentally determines its success or failure, and it doesn't matter whether other elements such as photography, editing, music, etc. are properly handled.
2 The person who writes the novel is the person who tells the story on paper. His task is to tell the story well, beautifully and fascinatingly.
The person who makes the film is also the storyteller, but he uses another medium, but his task is to tell the story well. Malik's Poor Mountains and Bad Waters is undoubtedly a wonderful story, and he tells it so that the viewers can make value judgments. Voiceover is just a way of processing, without the meaning of conceptual indoctrination. Regarding the handling of the plot, behind those romantic pictures, who can say that there is no unease, fear and agitation lurking. As for the attractiveness after being arrested, there can be multiple interpretations. First of all, he was arrested and will undoubtedly be sentenced to death, he is no longer threatening, people are more or less unbearable for a dying child; and kit himself, Holly has left him, he seems to have lost As a reason to continue fleeing, he was arrested and would soon die. Like a child who lost his temper, he tried his best to show indifference. Instead, he was smiling and likable. The same is true for most people. In situations that are unfavorable to themselves, pride prevents them from crying and being laughed at by others, so they pretend to be more proud and indifferent, like a winner. Actually, it's sad.
