weightless time

At the beginning of the movie, the fast-paced work makes Chuck like a machine on the timeline. The timers and the important pocket watch that appear in many places are constantly instilling the concept of time in the audience, wandering on a deserted island. Afterwards, time will be the most terrifying enemy. The fast rhythm in the front is to reflect the stillness and longness of time in the back, but in the whole process of the desert island, the concept of time is there, but it is not so emphasized, emphasized. It's the struggle with survival. It doesn't depict Chuck's inner world too much, how to fight against time on this deserted island, and the movie skips those four years completely without even a few cuts. This is the shortcoming of this film, and there are certain reasons for doing so, that is, it will make the film faster and less dull. After all, the struggle with the living environment is dramatic, and the struggle with time is more difficult to express; from the beginning Part of the emphasis on time, presumably the original screenwriter must have written in this direction, but in the end, due to commercial pressure, the film weakened the treatment of time on the desert island; because the part where he was rescued and returned to Memphis, It's also about time. In general, movies may have a relatively brief ending after being rescued, regardless of whether they can be with their girlfriends. But now I've seen it for about half an hour, and the discussion is still about time, just because in the middle paragraph The weakening of time makes the discussion in the final stage less shocking, although still moving.

    2001.1.15 I watched Cast Away today. A very ordinary movie. When Tom Hanks came to our school, everyone who saw him said he wasn't handsome enough. However, his acting skills are beyond reproach. He lay on the ground, looked at the picture of her inside his pocket watch, and turned the light on and off, off and on. The music started, and then my tears fell.
