Chapter 113 About the adaptation of the movie "Life"

Generally speaking, from my point of view, it is to express the most important things in the novel as much as possible.To be more specific, there are roughly the following points: First, the theme of the novel should be revealed more completely.This is through the tragic fate of Gao Jialin and others, prompting the audience to make a deep examination of society and life in many aspects; and through this unfortunate story, people can face up to and actively change many unreasonable phenomena in our lives.Second, try to make the life involved in the novel feel authentic and credible through vision.Gao Jialin, Liu Qiaozhen, Huang Yaping, etc. are all good people, but their personalities contain tragic and vulgar factors to varying degrees.The complexity of characters reflects the truth of life; and truth is the foundation of all art.What is shown is the fate of a group of ordinary people, and their encounters are not completely determined by themselves.Gao Jialin didn't want to go around in a big circle and then return to the starting point with a luggage roll.He cannot break through the constraints of various social contradictions on individuals.Third, it is generally believed that rural-themed movies only need to have the so-called breath of life.I don't want to stop at this point.In my opinion, this film should not only show the human feelings, folk customs and natural features of northern Shaanxi, but also reveal the social, historical, aesthetic and even philosophical connotations hidden therein.This is something deeper. With these, not only illiterate people can understand or be infected, but also people with higher levels of education can start thinking at a deeper level.This requires more space behind the screen; not only to complete a story, to complete the plot in a particular situation, but to leave plot and plot, scene and scene, character and character, dialogue and dialogue, and picture and picture. The next "blank" allows the audience to imagine, supplement and think.Fourth, strive to create an aura through the screen.When describing life and nature from the perspective of the camera, strive to pursue a vigorous, broad and deep style.Fifthly, the folk customs and customs on the surface of life and the folk customs and customs that have nothing to do with the theme cannot be expressed in isolation. This is not what art pursues, nor is it art.Therefore, movies should not only have a "earth flavor", but also a "foreign flavor", so that "foreigners" can accept and invest in it without any obstacles.In any case, only by expressing the things of the nation that one is familiar with in a true, artistic, and colorful way can more and more people in the world understand and feel what is revealed in the works.
