Daguerreotypes (1975)
High-level documentary, even in today
This movie viewing experience is a little special. Before I clicked in, I thought it was a narrative movie. I just watched it for the first ten minutes with this idea. 😂 The first time I came into contact with the director's work, I marveled at the documentary of multi-person portraits being able to deal with it like this, using questions and similar scenes one by one, and adding a magic show in the second half, a very thoughtful editing to string up the whole film. The documentaries of the 1970s are still at the first-line level today, and there are almost no such interesting life documentaries in mainland China.
Soul (2020)
Simple but enlightening
I saw it on the night after the postgraduate entrance examination. After half a year of hard work, I gradually found myself, and during this period, I also found myself who could feel every minute of life.
The theme of jazz and soul is very good, and jazz allows me to quickly enter the state of enjoying the movie, and then follow the compact and relaxed rhythm of the film. In fact, if you "say a movie in one sentence", this is also an old-fashioned story of finding the meaning of self and life, but it can still impress me. This is the charm of the movie. The movie is not a word or a few clips on TikTok. Enjoy every minute of the movie seriously, just like enjoying every second of life seriously. Don't give up. I think this is also the thought brought to me by "Soul".
Back to the shaping of the hero Joe, the director condenses the people who pursue their dreams into this role. They struggle between life and dreams and are not understood by the world. To be honest, he is a real and full-fledged character. Joe finally chose a dream, but at this time, the director used Jerry's mouth to pose a deep question: Is life meaningful because of dreams? This is the most wonderful part of the whole movie and my favorite place. The story progresses layer by layer. Before the climax, the ultimate problem of life is just right. There is no abruptness, no nonsense, and not much sensationalism. These are extremely difficult to control. Pixar did it. No wonder it won the prize.
