The screen of the main screening room of the Palais des Festivals is larger than that of most cinemas, but the picture quality has not been affected by this, but is better. Both brightness and color can bring the audience better than commercial cinemas.

movie viewing experience.

The entire screening hall is much larger than the cinema screening room, and can accommodate two thousand people watching movies at the same time. In fact, the seats inside are basically full, and it looks dark. Except for the people invited by the organizer in the front row,

Most of them are movie fans who tried their best to get tickets.

After all, being able to stand out from thousands of movies that were registered at the same time around the world is enough to prove their quality and popularity.

There were a lot of people, but the quality of the audience was better than in most theaters. No one was making any noise. Even if they saw their favorite celebrities, they just waved and said hello, and there was no noise coming up to ask for autographs.

If you realize halfway through watching that it is not as interesting as you thought, you should either leave quietly or fall asleep silently. No one will play with their mobile phones. The light from the mobile phone screen will destroy the viewing atmosphere of the people around you, which is a very impolite behavior.

When people around you are well-behaved, most people will instinctively follow suit and maintain high standards.

The main reason is that tickets here are really hard to get! Most of the people who can get tickets really like movies or like a certain star, and they will cherish this rare movie-watching experience even more.

"Angel Angela" was shot in a mountain city. This city already has some magical colors. Coupled with the post-production color correction of the film, it made many people on the scene shine from the beginning. Even many Chinese movie fans

I was stunned for a moment when I saw the overhead shots and various city street shots in the opening paragraph. I never thought that a mountain city could be photographed so beautifully! It looks obviously more three-dimensional than other cities, making it difficult to tell where you are.

On which horizon are you standing?

Of course, these landscape shots are very short, and soon a fast-talking, serious narration begins, coupled with brisk background music and various seemingly unrelated shots, shaking out some small baggage, making the audience understand.

A smile.

The tone of the movie is a bit strange, or contradictory. It is obviously a very warm and warm tone, but it is also accompanied by an uneasy dimness. Especially after the title of the movie appears, Angela’s various self-entertainment in childhood

The picture gives people a complex feeling of weirdness but also inexplicable pity.

From here on, the movie is already hinting at Angela's childhood loneliness.

The subsequent introduction to her family also confirmed this. She has an autistic father and a neurotic mother. Because she was misdiagnosed by the doctor's father as having a heart disease since she was a child, she cannot go out to play like other children. Other children also laugh at her for having such a problem.

She was unwilling to interact with her strange parents, so in the end she could only hide in her own fantasy world.

It was very distressing to watch, but soon the various childhood scenes about Angela made people laugh -

Little Angela dressed up in a white coat and pretended to be her father. She examined her imaginary Pixiu with a stern look on her face, and then shook her head solemnly, as if he also had a heart disease like her;

The little goldfish raised at home suffered from neurasthenia and wanted to commit suicide because he couldn't stand the strange family atmosphere. He actually jumped out of the bathtub, scaring Angela into screaming at high decibels and scaring her parents into panic.

Rescue the goldfish that fell under the cabinet;

As a result, the goldfish committed suicide again and again, which made the already neurotic mother extremely stressed, so she finally released the goldfish into the wild;

In order to comfort Angela, who was depressed after losing her goldfish, her father gave her a Polaroid, which made her smile again and began to take pictures of all kinds of otherworldly creatures in her fantasy.

It’s an ordinary landscape photo;

But when she pressed the shutter one time, two cars collided. The naughty neighbor saw it and came over to scare her, taking advantage of her innocence and ignorance to trick her into thinking that the camera had a fatal flaw and that one press of the shutter would cause various disasters.

, Angela returned home and saw various disaster clips on TV. She mistakenly thought that it was caused by taking pictures of herself, and she blamed herself and felt guilty for a long time;

But a few days later, she learned from her father that she had been deceived, so little Angela began to take revenge on her neighbor. When he was watching football games on his own wireless cable, he would unplug the network cable every time when a goal was critical.

The neighbors were so anxious that they jumped to their feet and howled repeatedly;

Then, in this comedy-like atmosphere, tragedy suddenly struck. Angela's mother was hit by a passerby who committed suicide by jumping off the building. She disappeared in a blink of an eye, making the already abnormal family even worse.

After her mother died, her father, who had been alienated from her, became even more autistic, and Angela became more and more trapped in her own fantasy world...

This use of comedy to film tragedy is indeed very novel. In the movie, the childhood Angela played by Chu Mo Yunshang often imitates her father's seriousness, but she looks inexplicably cute.

An Keke, who played the role of adult Angela, gave the audience the astonishment of a woman transformed into a woman of 18 years old, but what remains unchanged is her innocence, kindness and loneliness.

At this point in the movie, more characters begin to appear, but everyone seems to be strange. In other words, it is the strange world of the protagonist Angela.

The film only begins to enter the main plot fifteen minutes into the story, which tells the story of Angela accidentally discovering that there is an iron box left by a little boy forty years ago in the wall of the apartment she rented. In the iron box are various things of the little boy.

The toy and his photo, so Angela had an idea and began to look for the grown-up little boy to return the iron box to him. Along the way, there were various funny but tragic stories...

Basically, after seeing this, the fans and the jury in the screening room were basically sure of the style of this movie.

Using comedy techniques to tell tragic stories may seem warm and romantic, but in fact it shows lonely people who find it difficult to communicate with others.

All kinds of wild imaginations will make even the juries with tricky tastes smile from time to time.

There are differences between Eastern and Western laughter. Being able to let audiences on both sides feel its humor at the same time is a success in itself.

Of course, as an international film festival that prides itself on art, familiarity with art must be indispensable.

Originating from life and transcending life.

The mountain city in the movie is an idealized city, and the various characters in it are actually idealized and stylized characters. They are the idealized images of all kinds of real people in the movie.

This kind of romantic realism movie is obviously in line with the aesthetics of Western film critics, and the slight poetic flavor in it is even more in line with the romantic pursuit of the Gauls.
