There are several impressive places in the photographing of the characters: the elderly and young children, fathers and daughters in the windows of the Brazilian slums, and children flying kites; when photographing the front of a single person, I like to use slow push and slow pull, from close-up to close-up, you can clearly see the person Eyes and facial expressions; likes to take three or four characters looking at the camera from the front, three schoolgirls in Japan, prostitutes in Southeast Asia, and three armed policemen in China; pays special attention to eye capture, even the photos of "prisoners" in concentration camps. The action (the homeless man's turning over); the two Japanese performances, the twisted faces of the white flowers, are very penetrating.
The director's series of comparisons: the comparison between the residents of the buildings to be demolished in Hong Kong and the white small-scale graves in a certain country; the streets of the United States and Japan, the crowded subways and elevators, the accelerated play and the chicken farm chickens crowding on the conveyor belt In the forward comparison, people swiped their cards out of the station and the chickens were selected. The unqualified chickens were finally thrown into the inverted cone and eliminated. The director of the comparison did not give the human picture. This kind of comparison gives me a special feeling. People commute to get off work every day, shoulder to shoulder, busy, living at a rhythm on a specific track, they will be selected, they will need competition, they will be eliminated, and I don’t know who is in control of all this. , The society has its own set of operating rules, just like the assembly line in the chicken farm, the unqualified die, the qualified ones grow up and wait to be fed in a grid of chicken coops, we in the society expect to pass the qualified line In the past, I lived in a flat apartment. There is no commentary, it is not a visual shout.
There are several profound parts of the shooting scene: the time-lapse shooting of the starry sky at the beginning and the end, I don’t explain it; the second is the aerial shot of the Iguazu Falls in Argentina. The same; the contrast of several cathedral domes; inside the building, the audience's eyes move forward with the camera, step by step; there is a splendid church in Iran.
There are many different aspects to the understanding of this documentary, such as religion. I don’t know much about religion, but there are a lot of religious ceremonies and tribal totems in the film, so let’s think about it when you have time. above.
