Broken hymn

-Comment on Dancer in the Dark

One of the reasons for agreeing with the film: the heroine-Selma.

Selma has no husband, and Selma's son has no father. So this family is a family without a "father", so "mother" Selma, in a sense, is also fulfilling the responsibility of "father". Many times, women play a coordinating role in social conflicts, but Selma is not allowed to do so here. The cruel reality does not allow it, and neither does the surrounding environment. Thus, this environment turned Selma into a soft-hearted person. She is taciturn, but firm. She is lonely and helpless, but optimistic. Her heart is gentle and kind. She even stubbornly kept her promise and never betrayed the man who stole her money until the last moment before she died. In the past, women were often just "watched" on the screen, in other words, "women as images/men as the main body of viewing." ? But this movie makes us feel different female images. Although she is not as enthusiastic as Louise and Selma in thelma and louise, her inner tenacity and stubbornness are enough to make us sit up and take notice of this great mother. The Selma problem makes us have to face up to a series of social and cultural problems that contemporary society and contemporary women must face. In the end, Selma was hanged without consultation, but she didn't mean the end, but the process in which women's rights issues were regenerated or postponed in a more complicated background. ? Just like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the unruly passion and energy of young women finally turned into humility and regret, which proved the complexity of feminist issues in the new context.

Besides Selma, there are two other female characters that are equally unforgettable. One is a factory worker-Jia Fu. This kind woman, as a friend of Selma, attended the rehearsal with her friends and had an eye test. Blame her for working day and night regardless of her life, but coming to help her, caring for her and worrying about her. It was her, looking at the back of the shaman, testing with her feet, walking alone on the railway track, crying; It's her, quietly measuring her steps towards the center of the stage and then holding Selma's hand towards the center of the stage; It's her. When she saw her friend singing hard on the gallows, she hid her face and cried ... The other was a female prison guard. When other guards tried to drag Samantha, who was too scared to walk, to the execution room, she was absolutely sure that Samantha could walk by herself. She used several steps to create a beat for Samantha, accompanied her to the last leg, applied for execution without a hood, hugged Selma tightly, and shed tears ... In the whole film, when men were given full right to speak and decide, I saw these women silently care about each other, trust each other, and support them all the way when they struggled.

The second reason to agree with movies: photography and editing-dynamic and static.

Despite the cruel reality, Selma still has her own pastime-her spiritual pillar is her passion for music, especially her interest in Hollywood musicals full of singing and dancing. At the beginning of the film, the rehearsal of "The Sound of Music" in the form of a stage play begins the narrative of the film. Many films are shot with hand-held cameras, so they are so real under the shaking lens and gloomy light. From the angle and method of shooting, it is basically a subversion of traditional movies. In this film, Trier almost finished the whole film from the perspective of an ordinary person-he always paid attention to keeping the camera at the same height and level. In other words, most of the seats are as high as the subject's eyes. This kind of visual form with civilian characteristics expands the audience's acceptance and recognition of image forms, and combines the objectivity of recording and the subjectivity of shooting.

In terms of editing, especially the lighting, singing and dancing imagined by Selma in the factory, the editing confirms a sentence: a good editing is a editing without joints. Its obvious characteristics are slow editing speed and illness. When Selma is bored and tired, the relatively slow editing speed gives her enough time to rest and imagine. It is because of this slow editing speed that we can capture enough information in one shot. Can let us carefully see the details of the heroine's facial expression changes. Perhaps, the editor is also pregnant with the following plot and rhythm in such a slow rhythm. We can all feel that when the rhythm is gradually accelerated and the music is gradually bright, the editing speed is gradually accelerated with the rhythm. In less than a second, several shots are connected smoothly in the background of music, which makes people feel dazzling and has a sense of fluency. When watching it, they enjoyed this wonderful life with the protagonist, and the audience almost abandoned the boredom just like the protagonist.

It can be said that in this clip, the editor used all the visual and sound skills to subtly hide the editing points from the audience, thus controlling the psychological rhythm of the audience. The basic consistency of the lens scene (all close-ups of opponents, feet, machine parts and machine running state) also makes people feel messy and sloppy while switching lenses quickly. Superb editing is actually following the rhythm of the machine, which makes the original monotonous editing full of dynamic and vitality, makes the whole editing come alive, and suddenly changes the dead atmosphere.

In fact, looking at the whole film, almost all the clips have no technical pictures, but directly cut and cut the lens pictures to connect the shots, connect the scenes and change time and space. Without any optical skills such as displaying, hiding, drawing and changing as a transition, directly changing from one shot to another is just like flying and daydreaming with Selma's ideas, and it is almost possible to combine shots regardless of the consistency of time and space and action. However, under the seemingly free editing idea, it is not difficult to feel that under this editing technique, the whole film has well handled the problems of scene transfer, lens arrangement, action simplification, time and space omission, highlighting the personality of the characters and creating an environmental atmosphere. , and achieved a clear rhythm change, smooth lens connection, natural scene change, and reasonable paragraph composition. ?

The third reason to agree with the film: singing and dancing-painful and happy.

Movies can be divided into realistic and non-realistic narrative techniques. Whenever real life is too difficult for her, music will be played and she will sink into her world. The sadness that broke out between the bright imagination and the stagnation of reality undoubtedly touched every audience. Undoubtedly, apart from the twists and turns of the main plot, the highlight of the whole film lies in the director's redefinition of song and dance. In the eyes of the director, dance is a symbol of freedom and a resistance to the oppression of fate. In her imagination, she can control the operation of the factory machines when she can't control her life, but she can dance happily with the male workers in the factory when she is lonely and unattended in life, all of which dialysis her undiscovered romantic feelings. The most important thing is her humanitarian thought. The topics and things she appreciates are values that have long been forgotten by people-noise, noise and human weakness. And these are transformed into music and dance through the operation of the brain.

In the whole film, what moved me the most was Selma's imaginary duet with her secret admirer Shave on the train.

"To be honest, I don't care. I have seen everything. I've seen darkness, I've seen the brilliance of small sparks, I've seen what I want to see and what I need to see-that's enough, and wanting more is greed. I've seen who I am and I know what I'm going to be. I have seen everything and I don't need to see anything. " In the soft sunshine, when Selma sang these lyrics beautifully, there was a smiling face that was particularly lonely. Singing these lyrics to people who care about themselves is just to escape. In a seemingly narcissistic world, she tried to convince herself and others that she didn't care. For the concern and sympathy of friends around her, strong self-esteem made her sing these tear-jerking lies. And what about reality?

The fourth reason for agreeing with this film: the ending-the instant fall.

The song and dance scenes in the film, except for the intermittent rehearsal on the stage, are all beautiful song and dance scenes imagined by Selma. Finally, when the prison guard put the execution rope around Selma's neck, she sang a song. Such a realistic song was at this moment before her death. This song is euphemistic, desperate, lengthy and sad ... In her own singing, she finally woke up from endless fear, her eyes were firm and bright, and that seemingly smiling expression appeared on her face. She sang a song of her own life. When we indulge in it, life comes to an abrupt end and Selma hangs in the air. Then, the curtain opened, like an absurd and sad drama of life. At this point, everything is zero. When we are still recalling the dark and disturbing scenes of the film, when we are still feeling the visual and poetic song and dance fragments, when we are still lamenting her tenacity, persistence, optimism and singing, the film is like Selma's life, and everything is gone forever. ...
