"Confession" poster
respects the original work and strives to restore the real
"Confession" movie is in line with each other in terms of color tone and emotional tone, and complements the original work. The despair and shock that can penetrate the bone marrow can be presented in the original work by words alone, under the hands of Tetsuya Nakajima.
In the book, the emotions the author wants to express is a step-by-step process. Coo Jiamiao arranges the parties and confesses in turn. There is no unnecessary and cumbersome rendering, just a straightforward narration, what I did, what I thought at that time was simply, as if I just took out something from my pocket and placed it on the table, and it was clear at a glance. Before they knew it, readers became addicted and gradually became an addict who couldn't wait to see what the next thing was. Therefore, the book, which was not quite thick, turned to the last page under my breath from time to time, until I saw the last word, my goosebumps were not completely calmed down.
uses music to drive the rhythm and show the core of the film
After reading the original work, I actually don’t have much expectations for the changes in the movie, but after I finished watching the movie, I realized that film and television works are more three-dimensional than words.
First of all, the soundtrack of the movie is a highlight that I have to say, which sets the intensification of contradictions and conflicts and the expansion of dark psychology to the extreme. The sense of incongruity seems to be black humor , which does not make me feel like I'm having a play.
When I heard AKB's "River", I was still worried about how this melody should be nested into such a plot. When I saw the movie and when I saw the camera swaying over the beautiful girls from time to time, I was impressed by this chaotic and attractive expression technique.
However, the slightly playful and brisk part of "Milk" at the beginning is obviously the director's preparation for the foreplay.
shows the "Natural Sin" in a strong form
In the filming method, you can see that the whole film is filled with a large number of slow motion. In the lens language, close-ups and mid- and long-distance create a sense of gap. When the background music is a slow-paced song, it is really like a song's MV.
Nakajima Takashima was also used close-ups to smash the scattered drops of blood and mud. The long atmosphere that seemed to be able to strangle the neck was gently picked up, and it spread out from the screen, covering a unique aura. The scene where Shimomura Naoki's mother was killed by Naoki's knife was beautiful, and the slow-motion close-up depicts the trajectory of blood.
Matsu Takako left after meeting Mitsuki in the restaurant, "Last Flowers" of Radiohead sounded, "believe" over and over again and again, with the melody, and Matsu Takako's pace, conveyed the determination to revenge and the pain that came with it, even gentle and slowly, under Matsu Takako's superb acting skills. Shuya was in pain and panic at the end of the film. I was amazed at the director's use of the retrograde alarm clock he invented to create the scene. The scene of the explosion regressing second and second alternating with the close-up of Shuya's face. After that, the alarm clock suddenly moved forward, and the slow motion was no longer there. The instant speed made Shuya's mother's screams come to an abrupt end in the flames.
Before this, Matsu Takako said coldly, "I heard the sound of important things disappearing-" She walked from the dark to the pale light, "It's not 'afraid of cracks!', but 'dong clang!'" The heavy hammer in people's hearts is full of weight.
At the end, she bent her knees in front of Shuya, her expression was ferocious and intertwined with the inner ninja. After saying to him, "It is the first step for your rebirth from today." She left a blank space long enough, transitioning from despair to giving up. After Matsu Takako laughed, she blacked her screen and only heard her voice - "Just".
"Kidding "
"original"? OR "Adapted"?
Overall, "Confession" is a movie with a strong sense of ritual. Director Tetsu Nakajima is also passionate about ritual, which is undoubtedly related to his background in shooting commercials and MVs. How to impress the audience and receive key information for a limited time is the basic requirement of a good advertisement. Therefore, using slow motion is not a big problem. Animation, music, and lines are allowed to take turns and fight together.
Matsu Takako and Tetsuya Nakajima
Compared with the original work, Tetsuya Nakajima also retained the main story and did not make major adjustments to the characters. Like the opening shot, the murderer was exposed directly, these are all wonderful ways to capture the audience. The more obvious change of
is to add the exaggerated effect of the ending big explosion, slow motion rewind, time flowing, and the director imagines that the water can be collected, which is a wonderful highlight.
's optimization pursuit of visual effects has indeed added a lot of color to the theme. A sentence "joking" is added to the line, and it still plays the finishing touch. Some people say that this sentence is a concealment of ambiguity, but it is more like a fatal blow from a female teacher to Young A. Without this sentence, this painstakingly revenge plan is really not perfect.
