Chapter 816： Delayed response

There are many benefits of participating in an international film festival. The most direct and fundamental one is the communication between professional filmmakers. Everyone appreciates and reviews the film works exhibited, shares their experience and opinions, and then allows filmmakers to make progress. Let the film art be developed.

Of course, if we speak of commercialization, it means that professional filmmakers express their opinions on the film. If the film is excellent, it will promote the good reputation to achieve the purpose of selling the film at a good price; otherwise, learn from the failure, and Appreciate other masterpieces and learn from experience.

No matter from which point of view, the film festival is a feast for filmmakers and film lovers. Therefore, generally speaking, after a film is exhibited, no matter whether it is good or bad, many filmmakers will express their opinions on it, or praise, criticize, or criticize, and eventually there will be a commentary trend. For those works with a high degree of attention, media from all over the world will comment on the film. The film reviews in the official journal are densely packed and eloquent, and it is very lively.

However, in the two days after the premiere of "Pulp Fiction", film reviews were very rare. This is indeed a very abnormal situation. Whether it is judging from the direct reactions of the audience and reporters after the premiere, or judging from the intensity of the interviews on the wheel in the past two days, "Pulp Fiction" obviously should not be treated like this.

Not to mention the flood of praise, even if there are not many critical voices, people seem to be recalling the "Pulp Fiction" work, but they seem to be ignoring it. This feeling is weird.

In the past two days, there have been only four film critics commenting on "Pulp Fiction". It is really miserable and sad. No wonder even the Weinstein brothers can't help it. Among the four film reviews, the most authoritative is the official publication of the Cannes Film Festival.

The official journal gave a very high evaluation of "Pulp Fiction". In the scoring system with a full score of four, it gave a high score of 3.3. It is currently only behind the "Queen of Margot" by 3.4 points. Ranked second in the works that have been screened.

"'Pulp Fiction' is Quentin Tarantino's second work. This work is undoubtedly an enhanced version of the'Quentinian style', an iconic work that extends and develops experience and exploration.

"Pulp fiction. In addition to the witty and funny black humor, the biggest feature of this work is undoubtedly the circular structure and the multi-angle setting."

The so-called ring structure is not complicated. The film is divided into four independent parts. Each paragraph has no beginning and end, complementary structure, beginning and end connected, etc., and then the timeline is broken up, so that the beginning and the end of the movie are connected. Complete a ring structure.

This structure is used by Quentin to imply a violent story in this movie. From the first dialogue at the beginning to the last conflict at the end of the story, it forms an endless loop, and at the same time it is referring to The plots in similar films in contemporary reality are always happening and never stop.

This new-style ring structure of the sword not only simply disrupts the timeline of the story narration, but also infinitely enlarges the charm of the script with a unique perspective through the echo of different details, thus turning a seemingly simple story into a film. The witty works can be called classics.

In the ring structure, the multi-angle setting also has a very special effect. In addition to observing the same event from different angles, it is more to show that under different circumstances and conditions, everyone's role is quietly changing. At this point,'Pulp Fiction' is quite a bit of Western deconstructionist masters. The demeanor of Jacques Derrida (.) also gives the movie more surreal meaning-although this is not Quentin's original intention, nor the original intention of the movie.

The role of Vincent is the core that connects the whole story. He is the absolute male protagonist in'Vincent and Marsha's wife, who appears as a protector; but in the'gold watch', Vincent Te became a'some thug' who was shot and killed after showing up, and the owner of the gold watch didn't even know Vincent's name.

If you look at these two stories separately, Vincent's role is undoubtedly totally different.

Maybe the murderer in this story is the savior in another story; maybe the evil villain in this story is the hero who saves the world in another story; maybe the betrayer in this story is in another story But it is a child who takes risks for the sake of his family.

This kind of multi-angle is undoubtedly telling every viewer that every participant in an event has its own reason and state of participating in the event, and the same person in different times and states has its own reason and state. The roles are also very different.

This philosophical analysis and structure gave ‘Pulp Fiction’ a deeper meaning and at the same time enlarged Quentin’s personal stylization infinitely, and finally gave birth to a masterpiece that everyone can admire.

In the debut work "Falling Water Dog", after Quentin successfully tested the symbiosis of violence and philosophy; "Pulp Fiction" tried a complicated and orderly pattern structure, thoroughly borrowed from it, and generously imitated, the evil and justice of violence, the human nature Variation and the original ecology, the cruelty and hypocrisy of the society, presented through the use of large and large lines, have become a feature of Quentin.

Mentioning the lines in the movie is actually worthy of scrutiny. A pile of seemingly long and boring nonsense, but like an introduction hidden in the words, there is a subtle contradiction or echoing relationship between identity and the way and content of the conversation, which can always be sent in the next scene, between different sections unexpected surprise.

The time limit, the spatial dimension, the shooting angle, the saturation of the characters and the depth of the theme all have a strong Quentin personal style. In a limited two-day period, several independent but related stories are connected in series, and the cruel life that may exist is neatly displayed. The intertwined characters and events are arranged in an interesting way between inevitability and accident. The serial set is unique. "

The official publication of the Cannes Film Festival undoubtedly praises "Pulp Fiction". Although this film review is not long, it does a concise and profound analysis of the film. In fact, "Pulp Fiction" can be seen in a few words. "Sword-opening feat.

It can be seen from the film reviews in the official film that most people actually did not fully appreciate the excellence of "Pulp Fiction", because Quentin is undoubtedly cunning. He used his thinking about life and his understanding of movies through that one. A lot of babble, wordy and useless nonsense is piled up and presented. When watching the movie, the audience often thinks that those dialogues are useless and don't care too much. When they realize that those words are confirmed in the back of the story, There was only a vague impression in my mind.

This kind of prank shooting method makes many people feel a strange feeling after watching "Pulp Fiction": Everyone thinks this is a good movie, just like the audience in a movie theater, and when the movie ends, they stand up and applaud subconsciously. ; But if you insist on telling the merits of this movie, everyone will hesitate, their heads are muddled, and they can't tell one reason.

As the official journal said, the ring structure is actually just a technique. What makes the movie truly outstanding is that the arrangement of these four stories is also exquisite. The role of the previous story plays a different role in the subsequent story. The roles, including the back and forth of the lines, are actually exquisite. Although everyone says Quentin is a "hodgepodge", how to make the hodgepodge delicious is also a science, just like the Provence hodgepodge (), it is not that simple to cook this dish deliciously.

Therefore, after the premiere of "Pulp Fiction", professional film critics and film people all walked into the cinema again to watch the film. They could not blindly praise or criticize like ordinary audiences. They had to say why.

It is for this reason that in the past two days, when everyone mentioned "Pulp Fiction", there were some secrets. Everyone can clearly feel it. Quentin gave everyone a huge surprise this time. "Pulp Fiction" also opened the sword. A whole new history; but I have to calm myself down, don’t follow blindly, but wait until I really understand this movie before I speak.

Thus, this weird situation appeared.

On the one hand, there is an endless stream of "Pulp Fiction" interviews, and audiences also enter the cinema in an endless stream to watch the film. The "Pulp Fiction" screenings arranged by the Cannes Film Festival are so full that they have to reduce a few. The number of screenings of poorly-acclaimed works was added to the "Pulp Fiction"; on the other hand, the film critics hesitated. For two days, I did not see any famous professional film media commenting on this film. It was deserted. appearance.

However, this situation was quickly broken. On the afternoon of the 19th, UU Reading , the famous "Movie Manual (.du. was the first to publish a film review.

The French "Cinema Manual", the British "Video and Listening (;, and the American "Film Criticism", these three magazines can be regarded as the world's most authoritative film magazines, with different features and different readerships, but none Questions are of great concern.

Cannes is the home of the "Cinema Manual", and their film reviews have the greatest impact on French audiences, so they are the first to publish film reviews and they have also attracted the attention of countless eyes.

In the scoring system of full four points, the "Cinema Manual" gave a rating of three to four points, which is even higher than the evaluation they gave to the "Queen Margot". Since the opening of the Cannes Film Festival this year, the "Cinema Manual" "The highest score currently given.

There is no doubt that the "Cinema Manual" has given the highest praise, and from here on, it also kicked off the prelude to the two-day late film critic frenzy of "Pulp Fiction", wave after wave, dizzying and surging.
