"In the autumn of that year, on a long dry, gray and silent day, heavy clouds hung low above the sky. I rode alone through the gloomy, exotic countryside, and finally, as night slowly fell, the cold landscape of Usher's house unfolded before my eyes.
I have never seen it in the past, but just a glance, some unbearable gloom permeated my heart. I look at the sparse scenery around the house, the walls are deserted, the decaying trees are all white, my soul is speechless, my heart is cooling and sinking, showing a weak morbid state. "
At the end of the movie, Henry stands on the platform and recites Poe's famous work "the fall of Usher's house". In his deep, hoarse, sad and magnificent voice, the words in the book seem to be evolving into real images
The campus is full of weeds, dilapidated and lifeless - overturned desks, netted corners, broken windows, withered leaves on the ground, damaged door panels, scattered books, withered potted plants, raging wind... Only the blackboard still has the blackboard writing left by the teacher in the classroom, suggesting that what happened here is in this lonely ruins, Dense out of a touch of bitterness and sadness.
The house of usher in Poe's works is not the school in real life, or the education system, or even the society.
In the last scene of the movie, Henry Barthes stands alone in front of the platform, lonely and lonely. Facing the desolate classroom, he sits quietly and quietly. His long and quiet eyes are quietly looking at the camera. In his quiet eyes, the dark light is flowing, like a dark blue lake, gradually becoming black, Finally, all the halos disappear completely.
"Detached", the big screen suddenly black, appeared the blackboard chalk font, "detach-content", in the melodious and magnificent classical music, completely dark down, and then appeared the crew's list, the first name is "Langley hall".
Mark froze in the same place, the shock, the reflection, the surge, set off waves in his brain, countless thoughts in a mess, just like a disordered wool ball, can not find the end of the thread, the line of sight is just a big ball of wool surging, but the next second, the name of "Langley hall" is like a beam of light in the dark, "Deng" a light in the mind, and then, mark suddenly stood up, clapping.
Clap, clap, clap.
This is a story about social education, not only in the United States, but all over the world. The power of education is gradually weakened. The lack of family education and school education is making the next generation confused. However, the economic downturn has further pushed education into the abyss of reality——
The essential significance of education should be to broaden the view of the world, change the benchmark of measuring things and the way of thinking; But now, education has become a springboard to create income and find high paying jobs. In the course of human development, we first pursue material food and clothing, and then spiritual satisfaction. Education belongs to the latter, but now education begins to serve the former. This is not only the fall of the whole society, but also the deformity of the fast food era.
This is also a story about Henry Bart, a man who has been forgotten by his family and abandoned by the world. After many vicissitudes and scars, he still tries to change the status quo of other children through his own efforts; However, he can't even save himself. How can he save others——
In his body, he embodies the contradictory thoughts of idealists and realists. Every effort is always defeated by reality, and every compromise is always defeated by reality. He was struggling, but he couldn't escape from it. At the end of the story, the education system collapses, while Henry firmly grasps the last glimmer of hope in his life and hobbles on in the ruins of the end of the world.
This is a wonderful story, but also a bloody story. The despair mixed with bitterness and helplessness is like drowning, struggling all the time, but besieged all the time. After watching the film, his mouth was full of bitterness, unable to express; The reflection is turbulent and continuous.
So mark applauded selflessly, because of the educational situation reflected in the film, because of the social problems reflected in the film, and because of the excellent performance of Langley in the film, which was enough to make the soul tremble——
Standing in front of the camera, between gestures, between speech and behavior, a look, a smile, an action, the whole performance has become full up, without unnecessary embellishment and explanation, the resonance in the soul has begun to ring, every audience can feel it, savor their own moving, and deeply involved in it Drenched. This is the real performance, this is the great performance, enough to make the whole film become a kind of enjoyable performance.
Shock, the word to describe Mark's inner thoughts at this moment, but still seems too shallow, too simple. So he chose to clap.
Mark was not alone. He almost rushed to the cinema. He didn't even wait for the lights to light up and the subtitles to roll up. The audience couldn't wait to stand up. There was almost no brewing process for the warm applause. In a flash, the whole screening hall was filled up, and then the earth began to shake.
The applause is more and more hot, more and more turbulent, more and more crazy, surging in the dark, just like this movie, the surface is calm, the underwater undercurrent is surging, the violent surging is pounding the soul, surging out a long and lasting echo. People can't see or hear, but they can feel the collapse of the earth and the tsunami from the depths of their souls.
The weakening of vision, touch and smell further enhanced the sensitivity of hearing. The continuous applause was further magnified, and then magnified, and the whole body began to shudder.
Reflection is everyone's own taste; Salute. It's a common thought of all.
The applause lasted 120 seconds, and the subtitles finally reached the second half. The lights in the screening hall lit up and reappeared. The applause on the scene did not weaken, but rose to a higher level. There was no scream, no whistle, no cheering, just pure applause. The boiling sound gradually climbed to the climax, And it reached its peak when Tony Kaye and Randy hall got up and walked to the front of the stage.
The whole main venue can feel the slight earthquake like vibration.
The audience who didn't enter the premiere venue, the staff responsible for maintaining order, and the journalists who missed the invitation of the premiere all cast their eyes to the projection Hall of the main venue in astonishment. The top sound insulation system keeps all the sounds in the room, but the surging vibration clearly conveys the truth: "detachment", which has won the support of the whole audience and made people crazy.
This is the Berlin Film Festival, not the hospitable Toronto, where every work is applauded; Cannes is not a business oriented city. The works of Hollywood stars can always be applauded by the audience; It's not a restrained and polite Venice. Even if you want to swear, the audience will give a simple applause to thank you for the show.
This is Berlin.
Like is like, don't like is don't like. In the face of annoying works, it's not uncommon for the audience to leave halfway; In the face of sharp works, tit for tat views are boiling; In the face of bad works, criticism is extremely harsh and merciless. applause? It's for art. It's not business, it's not rubbish. It's just art.
Today, the film "detached" won a full four minute standing ovation, which is the first time in Berlin Film Festival this year. Last year's "one parting" got such treatment, and this year's "detached" got such treatment again - or, Langley hall?
The main creators of the whole crew stepped up in front of the stage, and the thunderous applause continued for a long time.
Mark just felt that his palm had begun to numb. Thousands of cells had died in his red palm, but his inner excitement was still surging. Turning his head, mark saw his friends: Katarina, chuck and Christine.
Each of them had a little red cheeks, eyes shining with excitement, and clapped their hands hard, not only clapping, but also venting all their strength. Blue Li's figure was reflected in his clear eyes, and his whole soul was roaring, cheering and shouting.
All of a sudden, Mark's dry eyes became moist, and the warm vapor blurred his vision.
"Detachment" is not a touching film, which is not enough to make people cry, from sadness to bitterness, from pain to despair. All the emotions seem to be solidified, leaving only the confused cry for help and helpless cry for help; But at this moment, the surging emotion attacked mark severely, because of lanli, because of the actor who devoted his life to the performance.
Mark didn't see "crazy love" or "anti-cancer me". Just because of "buried alive", that movie made him like the actor; Now, a "detached" movie has made him fall in love with the actor.
God, how lucky he is. Recalling last night, recalling the red carpet, and recalling the "detachment" that just ended, mark was hit without warning, and then tears fell down, joy and happiness, and the smile at the corner of his mouth bloomed wantonly. Applause, more enthusiastic.
Standing in front of the stage, Tony seems to be keen to capture the audience's inner feelings, so he pushed the blue push to push the film's most worthy hero to the stage. In an instant, the applause of the whole audience broke through the limit again, just like a tornado passing through the screening hall.
Lan Li stood in the same place, looking at the surging upsurge, moved and excited to fill his chest. He loved this moment so much, not because of the warm applause, but because of the empathy and reflection of his eyes. At this moment, he knew that he had completed his task as an actor, and that satisfaction was irreplaceable.
