Chapter 484 This Is Life

Just as Lin Qiu's new film officially started shooting, "Manchester by the Sea" was finally released in Kyushu!

Before the film was released, some people said that Lin Qiu's film could not reach the level of a masterpiece, otherwise it would not have been defeated by "Witness for the Prosecution" at the Washington Film Festival.

But as long as you step into the theater, this doubt will disappear completely.

"It's really too Emo, damn, I can't breathe!"

"I've watched movies for so many years, and I've never seen a movie that can make me feel like this. I can't even cry..."

"Bratt gave a god-level performance!"

"Lin Qiu's depressing work in full style, who says it's not a masterpiece? Stand up!"

"Manchester by the Sea lost to Witness for the Prosecution? How awesome is Witness for the Prosecution?!"

"Me and the rest of my life that I don't want, me and myself that I don't want to reconcile. You all go to spring, leaving me in the brokenness, sad and beautiful... Li has been trapped in that day and can never get out."

"We all have the right not to reconcile with our past. What I fear most is this kind of movie. After watching it, I can't say anything. I just want to stay quietly and indulge in the wave of In the depression that cannot be removed. The ending seems to see the light, but it seems nothing..."

"The wounds of life, before the age of 25, blame parents, after the age of 25, blame society, the worst is that the huge wound is spread there, stinking and pus never healed, but no one can blame, only oneself..."

"A movie that is depressed to the bone! This kind of movie, I am afraid only Lin Qiu can make it. I don’t know how many negative emotions are hidden in Lin Qiu’s heart. "

"This kind of movie is suitable for useless people like me. With the lowest oxygen consumption heartbeat, sit in front of the screen for two hours with an expressionless face, and finally leave the theater and go home to sleep. "

...

A death uncovered the old wounds and brought the warmest family affection to Li. The fragmented hugs and caresses, like sporadic fire, finally ignited the embers in the male protagonist’s heart.

But this ember will not let Li see the light, but continue to hide in the corner, using a heavy cage to guard that touch of light.

"Manchester by the Sea" is not a theme for the general public.

Audiences who prefer art films can enjoy this feast for young art lovers.

But there are many fans who are not used to art films.

For example, the classic "Forrest Gump" in the history of previous films is actually far less popular than "The Shawshank Redemption" because art films have a slow rhythm and bland pictures, which do not suit the tastes of the general public.

But among the masterpieces, art films account for a large proportion.

Looking at "Manchester by the Sea", it is a thorough art film with an extremely slow plot. If the story is filmed by an ordinary director, I am afraid that even the main plot cannot be found.

For many audiences now, watching movies is a way to relax, so the box office of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" exploded, while the box office of "The Crucible" and "Hope" will be relatively low.

The most unique thing about this movie is that it is an anti-chicken soup movie.

The movie uses immersive sadness and conveys an attitude of compromise with life, which is different from common feature films.

It is precisely because of the unique core that it has been evaluated as a masterpiece by major film critics in Xiazhou.

No spoiler review.

A true art film is Lin Qiu's attempt at a new style.

The movie does not give the audience chicken soup, but persuades those who are in misfortune. We always like to say the four words "it will pass". The fact is that not everything will pass. Time is a good medicine, but time cannot heal everything.

Being positive and optimistic is life, and being pessimistic and helpless is also life.

"Once the heart is broken, it will always be broken."

Walking out of the theater, my viewing experience can be best described by a poem:

"Now I know the taste of sorrow, I want to say but I don't."

"I want to say but I don't. But I say that the cool autumn is a good time."

[Film critic Wang Daxian] (7 points):

Li skillfully repaired the sewer pipes one by one, but he could not repair his past life. The clogged toilet became the best irony.

Every day of daily life is penetrated by a large number of painful flashbacks.

When he met his ex-wife at a corner, Li finally got the belated forgiveness, but the light in the corner separated the two into two worlds.

An ending without an ending.

Only despair of despair.

The whole film is brightly colored, but it is extremely depressing.

So far, it is the best film of the year and the biggest favorite for the Oscar next year!

But I am also surprised that such a masterpiece actually lost to "Witness for the Prosecution". What kind of fairy film is the latter?

……

[Yaotai Film and Television]: (8 points):

Lin Qiu has become a fairy!

If you want me to give a film review, I can only give five words!

From "Léon: The Professional", it can be seen that Lin Qiu's film temperament is undergoing earth-shaking changes. Now every shot and every rhythm of the film are handled at the master level.

Also, Bratt has become a god.

This year's Oscar for Best Actor must be Bratt.

He did not hesitate at all when he pulled the trigger. Although his life did not end there, he actually died in the embers of the fire.

The script is awesome, the director is awesome, and the actors are awesome.

…

As soon as the first batch of professional film reviews for "Manchester By the Sea" came out, it instantly established the film's reputation and evaluation.

After all, although these film critics cannot guide the tastes and choices of movie fans, they represent the largest group of movie fans. The fact that they can unanimously give such evaluations is enough to explain everything.

Generally, depressive films will use sad soundtracks and dark shots and tones, but this is not the case in "Manchester by the Sea".

The death of a loved one is not a rainstorm, but the long humidity of this life.

Through the portrayal of Li, this passage was perfectly presented on the big screen.

Some shots may seem very simple, with no special shooting techniques, but they just feel very comfortable. In fact, as long as you are a professional filmmaker, you will be able to find that there are many mid-range scenes in the film that are slightly moving, which is not easy to detect, but it does exist. It creates just the right sense of alienation.

There are also rich colors with overall low saturation and clean composition, giving movie fans an excellent viewing experience.

Killing memories one by one is like a knife.

After giving him a knife, another knife came!

Patrick cried bitterly for his father, knife!

Li and Randy met on the street and had a knife fight!

It can be said that the degree of depression of this "Manchester by the Sea" is by no means worse than any previous movie. From a certain perspective, it even has greater stamina and stronger impact!

For example, "Sowon" and "The Melting Pot" actually contain deliberately sensational content, but this film does not.

The whole film is not sensational, but it is full of tears.

Until many movie fans go home to sleep and close their eyes, they can still think of the scenes in the film, as well as the sentence "I can't beat it."

The scene with Li's eyes full of sadness keeps appearing in front of all the fans.

"So true."

"It's not like a movie..."

Movie fans can completely relate to it. Even if sadness rushes in, life remains as plain as water.

This is life.
