Golden palm recruitment

20 16 May, the 69th Cannes Film Festival opened. Spanish live-action short film "Time Code" shines brilliantly at Cannes Film Festival.

/kloc-After the 0/5-minute short film screening, the laughter, applause and cheers at the venue were so enthusiastic that other short films shortlisted for the Cannes Award were eclipsed.

Time Code won the Palme d 'Or Award for the short film in the main competition unit of Cannes Film Festival.

Of course, "time code" is the Chinese translation of movie titles. The original film is called Time Code, which refers to the time code of 02:00:00, but the short film has nothing to do with the code and the programmer's elements.

The film got a high score of 8.0 on Douban, but unfortunately, Xiaoyang looked through many short films and film reviews, only to find that few people really fully understood this short film. Such an excellent short film was misinterpreted by many viewers, which made Xiaoyang feel sorry.

Xiao Yang watched Time Code carefully for five times before he fully understood the profound meaning contained in the short film and why it won the Palme d 'Or award at Cannes Film Festival.

The answer is the central idea of the healing system conveyed in the short film: even if you fall into the dust, you should stand on tiptoe and kiss your dreams.

At the beginning of filming, the sword refers to Cannes.

In addition, Xiaoyang also found that the success of Time Code was not accidental. At the beginning of the short film shooting, the production team of the film had already targeted the Cannes Film Festival.

Because the Cannes Film Festival is held in May every year, and all the time points involved in Time Code happen to be the time when the Cannes Film Festival is held.

For Time Code, winning the Cannes Award is the dream of the production team, and the story told in this short film is also centered around the dream.

The short story contains great energy and can heal every unwilling heart.

0 1 the heroine debuts

In the short film of 15 minutes, there are only four roles: female security guard, male security guard, boss and new employee. Security, day, night, underground parking, surveillance video, time code and so on, pieced together this touching story.

The first scene of the short film is the appearance of the heroine. She is a young woman with beautiful clothes, elegant long hair, strong walking and fair skin.

/kloc-On the morning of May 0/4, she crossed a long street and finally went straight into an underground parking lot. Put on the security uniform in the locker room, walk out of the locker room with a long breath, and get ready for work after punching in.

Small details suggest big dreams.

There is a small detail in the dressing room. When the hostess came to work, she wore a pair of red dancing shoes embroidered with dancing figures, which were connected with her calloused instep, suggesting that the hostess was an enthusiastic dancer.

The hostess is young, but she loves dancing, but she wears a uniform and has long flowing hair, suppressing her dream of dancing in the dark underground parking lot.

03 male host debut

After the cold handover with the black people who worked at night shift, the man got off work, and the woman immediately turned off the noisy radio and started the day's work.

At this point in the story, it is basically clear that the hostess is a young security guard who works in an underground parking lot. Between her and the man who works at night, the working hours are complementary, and there is basically no intersection. She only goes to work twice a day, and she doesn't like listening to the radio in the office. This hobby is just the opposite of that of men.

The parking lot is two floors underground, and the security room is at the entrance and exit of the parking lot on the first floor. Although the hostess doesn't like this job, she can only accept it for a living. It's just that she was locked up in the underground parking lot in the same years as the flower season, and now she is still a little unwilling to the status quo.

04 secrets you can't tell

In the afternoon, the leader asked the woman to check and monitor and deal with a damaged taillight. When a woman was patrolling the parking lot at night, she accidentally found a man dancing, and it was the man who broke the taillight while dancing. The woman inquired about the earlier monitoring and found that from May 7, the man danced while patrolling the parking lot.

Women help men hide secrets and dance for the monitor. When I handed over from work, I left the man a note with the time code of the surveillance video of my dancing.

The next day, the hostess went to work in a hurry to change clothes, tied her hair while running, and almost forgot to punch in. When the two handed over in the office, the hostess got the expected response. Through the note left by the male host, she saw the dance that the male host deliberately danced for herself during the monitoring.

Since then, every day at work, the man and the woman will dance for each other in the monitor, and then write the time code on the post-it note. With a secret that can't be told, the mood of men and women at work has also become much happier, and the interaction between men and women has also become much more.

The hostess's feet

By May 24th, when the hostess went to work to change clothes, she had begun to consciously exercise her foot muscles. Her feet are covered with calluses, and the action of standing on tiptoe suggests that she has studied ballet. A ballet dancer as soft as a cloud and noble as a swan is in sharp contrast with the dark and introverted security work of the hostess.

Lenovo, the hostess used to be a ballet dancer, probably because of injury or livelihood pressure, and later gave up dancing and found a stable job. Now I have regained my dream in men, who tell the audience with this ulterior secret: even if I fall into the dust, I will stand on tiptoe and kiss my dream.

The man didn't leave a note.

Until May 24th, she didn't forget to stretch her ribs when punching in, because the appearance of the male host once again inspired her dancing enthusiasm. When I arrived at the office, I found that the man didn't leave a note, and the woman looked puzzled. In the narrow office, the female host is at the door, and the male host walks past the female host when he gets off work. The woman didn't take the initiative to give way, but the man squeezed out of the office without physical contact.

During the ten days from May 14 to May 24, this man and woman recorded a video of them dancing for each other every day at work. Although they are not in love, they regard each other as a special dancer, which is actually their own inner redemption of their dance dreams.

In this vast world, both of them love dancing, but they have no choice but to wear uniforms to become security guards, and their inner desire for dancing is confined in uniforms. They can meet in this small parking lot, find each other's light and regard each other as spiritual partners. What a treasure.

The turning point of 07 short film, the note outside the glass was misunderstood by the audience.

After the man left, the woman looked through the glass of the office and found a post-it note stuck on the outer glass of the office. Then she stared at the man's far-away back and lost in thought. The handwriting on this post-it note is illegible and stuck outside the glass.

What the short film wants to convey is not to let the audience guess what the vague handwriting has written, but to metaphor that glass is an invisible barrier between men and women. These days, they have been looking for the dance videos recorded by each other through the time code on the post-it notes. If the post-it note is compared to a bridge to communicate with the dance partner, this glass indicates that the male host does not want to dance with the female host through obstacles.

The application of associative montage causes the audience to daydream.

The post-it notes here use the technique of associative montage. Because each post-it note has its own meaning before, whether this vague post-it note is directly related to the turning point of the story has also aroused the audience's speculation.

It needs special explanation here, because many viewers on the internet speculate that the post-it note says May 30th. Obviously, the post-it notes left by the male and female hosts are the same date, so it is impossible for the male host to write May 30 on the post-it note on May 24. Moreover, it is impossible for the male owner to predict that the boss will bring new colleagues to do pre-job training on May 30.

Men and women are in their proper places, and little secrets are discovered.

Then on May 30th, the boss brought a young prodigy to do pre-job training. The boss entered the time of 02:00:00 am on May 30th in the monitoring system. At first, it just showed new employees how to use the monitoring system. Unexpectedly, he accidentally found the video of the couple dancing together in the parking lot.

The man and a woman dressed as security guards danced together everywhere the camera could shoot, and the dance lasted for two hours until five o'clock in the morning.

The leaders were stunned, and the new employees thought dancing was a job requirement, and then they said helplessly, I-I can't dance. ? The short film ended in such a humorous atmosphere.

The open ending attracted a lot of speculation from the audience.

Did the man and the woman leave their jobs? What will the leader do if he finds out? When did they start dancing together at night?

With the arrival of new employees, many viewers misinterpreted this man and a woman as leaving their jobs, thinking that they would realize their dreams after this dance. In fact, the film still gives the most reasonable answer, and the male and female protagonists have not left their jobs.

On May 24th, the male host did not record a dance video for the female host. After that, the hostess applied to be transferred to the night shift, so the leader re-recruited a security guard to do the day shift.

Every night at 02:00:00, they dance together on the floor of the parking lot, jump from the first floor to the second floor, and then take the elevator back to the office.

Echo from beginning to end: Where dreams sprout, they will blossom.

The last dance scene is in the elevator. Before getting out of the elevator, the two of them were tidying up their clothes. This scene is a bit like cheating. In fact, they didn't cheat, but regarded each other as soul mates. The resonance of dance brings spiritual satisfaction to dancers, which is far purer and warmer than physical contact.

What moved Xiaoyang was that on May 7th, a man secretly danced in the elevator for the first time. On May 30th, the man and the woman finally danced together in the elevator. This indicates that dreams will blossom in the bud.

Paying for your soul mate is much like love, but it is purer than love.

Men like listening to the radio at work, while women hate the noise of the radio. Men like to hang clothes behind chairs, while women like to hang clothes on hangers. Although the male host and the female host have different skin colors, hobbies and habits, in order to dance with their soul mates, regardless of these differences, the female host applies for night shift just to break her unwilling dance dream.

When they dance together, they are as close as professional dancers. They are shy and stiff at work, and don't even want to have more physical contact.

It is because they are eager to enter the spiritual world of dancers through dancing together, so as to obtain spiritual satisfaction. Other things about the distance between men and women and colleagues should be kept, unless they really fall in love, they will never cross it. But now they regard each other as soul mates, and this relationship is obviously purer and more precious than love.

Even if you fall into the dust, you should stand on tiptoe and kiss your dreams.

Although the work is mediocre and still in the dark underground, the desire in my heart has never been extinguished. Although you can't completely resist the cold social rules and cruel survival rules, even if you struggle like a man, at least every silent night, the dancer cells in your body won't cause strong itching.

At first, on the evening of May 7, the man's shoulder was itchy while patrolling the parking lot. This is a dancer cell in a man, which collided with the rules of the system when patrolling at night.

0 1 You can choose ordinary, but you will never be content with ordinary.

At first, men and women danced during their respective patrol hours, and finally, they danced together in their proper places during the night patrol. They patrol everywhere in the parking lot and pour out their inner feelings by dancing. While completing the patrol work, I also realized my dance dream. Ordinary work is also generating different kinds of fireworks.

Some people may say that the story of the couple is just a case in society. In fact, if we only look at the superficial meaning of security and dancing, this story is really like an example. But if safety and dance are abstracted into ordinary work and great dreams, then this is a topic that everyone can involve.

The ultimate goal of the short film is not only to present a perfect story to the audience, but also to convey a deeper meaning: life is not just the present, but also poetry and distance.

Ordinary and depressing work, whether men or women, is a painful life. And the desire for dance is their poetry and distance.

The ending is hidden and the theme is sublimated.

At the end of the short film, why did you arrange a new employee to join the company? Only when the leader received training before work did he discover the secrets of men and women. Even if there are no new employees, it is easy for leaders to discover this secret. So the short film specially arranged a new employee, which was actually hidden.

1, the new employee is young. He buckled the wrong button when wearing an inch suit. He looks like a pair of hands and seems to be the representative of newcomers in the workplace. With the appearance of new employees, the characters have directly expanded from male and female owners to the whole workplace, which implies that the significance of short films is extensive.

2. New employees will gradually become old employees. When their enthusiasm is exhausted, when their edges and corners are smoothed by society, when they lose their enthusiasm for their work and become dull, they need to find their own poems and distant places in ordinary work, just like men and women.

Let the dream feather into a poem and write a beautiful hymn for yourself.

In the short film, uniform and dance are two extreme symbols. Uniforms represent the system of terms and conditions, represent the depressed work, and dance represents freedom and self-release. Moreover, the male and female hosts have been dancing in uniforms, which has brought great visual impact to the audience.

Uniforms are abstracted into real life, and dance is abstracted into a dream in the heart. So, in the final analysis, this story is still a hymn about dreams.

Even we can boldly guess that both men and women used to be dancers and left the stage for some reason to become security guards in underground parking lots to make a living. Even if others are just ordinary people who have fallen into the dust, they still try to stand on tiptoe to kiss their dreams in their ordinary work.

Therefore, life is not just the present. We try to light ourselves up, brush off gorgeous fireworks, and try to find poetry and distance. Any dream can be turned into a poem and write a beautiful hymn for ourselves.
