Still have to recommend

Needless to say, I watched it for the title of "movies made with only one lens". A lot of people say it's cool to watch this in one go, but I always feel that there is a feeling of suffocation that I can't breathe without being able to breathe. But I have to say, first of all, the whole set of Steadicam weighs 80 pounds, which is a lot of work. In addition, the whole time is very tight. The museum gave two days, of which 26 hours were used for 40 electricians to light up 33 rooms. The rest of the time must be filmed, and the museum does not allow any more shots. It is said that there are still problems with lighting and other issues during the filming. With these kinds of things, such a good movie can still be produced, even if the plot is boring, I still have to recommend it.

It's all just my humble opinion, don't take pictures if you are upset.

    The beauty of the long shot can be seen here, where the narrator and the spectator become one soul, or the consciousness goes deep into it, but also withdraws from the outside. Wandering in the magnificent palace.//A quick glimpse of two hundred years of Russian history. This is the length of time. 99mins single strobe flashback // The final choice to stay is not difficult to understand that the Ark is the Russian "Farewell to Europa" that carries the next part of the reservation

    Combining the POV with the traditional camera position of objective perspective creates a sense of separation of the soul, just like a visualized dream, which is a journey to a cultural treasure house, an analysis of artistic philosophy, and it is also in the latitude of the soul. In depth, it is too superficial to think of this film as a purely experimental dazzling technique or museum tour guide service. To a certain extent, Sokolov can be regarded as the spiritual successor of the old tower.

Russian Ark quotes

  • Orbeli: Is something still troubling you? Is it the authorities? They want acorns without oak trees. They are not interested in knowing how to nurture the tree of culture, but it will be their doom if the tree falls. Then there will be nothing left. Can't they understand that?

  • The Time Traveller: Sir. Sir. A pity you're not here with me. You would understand everything. Look. The sea is all around. And we are destined to sail forever, to live forever.
