Some thoughts, movie language and logic and IQ

Read "Battleship Potemkin" again. Comparing my thoughts and film reviews, something unexpected happened.

The three famous stone lions, because of their lazy expressions, turned out to be regarded as a symbol of the weakness of the reactionaries. What's more, I didn't see what the boiling water behaved.
However, the Odessa Staircase has to be carefully read many times, and it is very suitable for textbooks.
The impression is:

If the audience is distracted when editing, "The director is here to tell us that the anger of the masses is like this water", then it must be unsuccessful.

The trick of movie language is that it will affect your non-logical subconscious area (some people say this is the emotional area) with an unusual influence with the language of the lens, because your logical IQ does not work in that area. . If a certain movie fragment affects your logical area, then your IQ will have a defensive reaction.

No one's "IQ" (let us take it as the subject) wants the "IQ" of others to be superior to one's own.
My enlightenment is that if in the movie, when the mood is not enough, add the director’s own suggestion that he hopes to make the audience have a logical association, such as "a piece of blood is on the ground, I want to use him to express despair (but the previous shots are not The audience is not left in a mood of despair... What will happen? The audience will find it inexplicable...)". The superficial film semiotic theory is a kind of misunderstanding.

When giving hints to the audience, be careful to use the lens to bring the audience into the area of ​​rational thinking. This is already a layer of caution. It is futile to expect the audience to treat your shots with "rational thinking" and to identify with you in this way. Use hints, not tells.

The following sentence is my personal opinion: Don't let the audience feel that they are watching a "movie", let him experience time and space, and try not to let them notice the form of expression. Otherwise, the film will lose its general entertainment and become a change and manipulation of the format itself (this sentence is not derogatory, because it has to be admitted that many humans like this. This is not wrong. For example, Rubik's Cube is a format toy) . It’s just contradictory to mass entertainment, here generally refers to many people who don’t understand movies.)

    . The film expresses sharp contradictions with the delicate structure and epic style of classical tragedy, with profound details and picture composition, as well as the film language with sharp rhythm, and poetic montage techniques such as symmetry, repetition, metaphor and symbolism. Conflict and a major and distinctive combat theme, this film marks the great progress of world film art and the progress and perfection of montage theory.
