The speed of this movie is relatively slow, but even faster in Bergman's movie. The interesting thing about watching his movies is that you unknowingly give him the patience that you can't give to other directors. For example, in this movie, one person comes in and shakes hands and hugs with a dozen people in the house. Each is played through. There is no dialogue in the middle, but we have the patience to watch them one by one, and we don't feel tired. Also, in the movie, a person sitting there holding a book and telling a story is not a wonderful plot, and he lost his mind while speaking, speaking at a very slow speed, and the camera just stopped on this person. , Do not move for a long time. When the camera was switched, I realized that I was not actually looking at this person, but my mind followed his voice to nowhere.
Why is this happening? It suddenly occurred to me that this explanation can actually be found in the subjective photography method I mentioned a few days ago. That is to use photography to reflect the photographer himself rather than the subject. When we usually watch movies, we often have a psychological distance from the people in the movie. Those who are more immersive may think of themselves as a major character in the movie to imagine or predict the situation at that time. But when I watched Bergman’s movie, I rarely do this kind of imagination. I don’t know when the photographer’s lens has turned into my own eyes. I walked slowly and watched slowly. , See where is where. At this time, the essentials of these modern movies seem to be irrelevant. It seems that the rhythm of the photographer is my rhythm. I will not have the desire to restrict the rhythm of the photographer with my own rhythm, because I am the photographer. By. Therefore, when looking at the person reading the book, the actor will be distracted by the audience after he reads it, so it doesn't matter if the camera doesn't switch before the audience has come to remember.
There seems to be another similar movie I have seen. It is Russian Ark (director Aleksandr Sokurov). It is a documentary about the history of St. Petersburg, but it doesn't seem to be a film. It can also make you have the same hallucinations.
After watching such a movie, I was still in a dull state for a long time after watching it. I felt like a fish. I dived underwater and watched other fish for a long time.
Such directors do not rely on playing with eyeballs, they really have to be masters at playing with the audience's psychology.
