A bit of color for once, all the better to see the red flags with, not to mention the obvious aerial file footage of Warsaw. The story concerns Jozef Malesa, the mason or bricklayer of the title. He was once the darling of the party, the son of two old party activists, a worker of heroic reputation, his own commitment to The Movement unquestioned. He was chosen to be destined for great things, specially educated and pushed forward to positions of responsibility in the Party. Eventually he decides, because of the ethical pressures which he feels from the obstructionism of the bureaucracy from above, he asks to return to be a simple bricklayer. He is disturbed with the way the Party deals with people, especially their lack of direct contact. He thinks workers know better than the leadership many times but that's not the way power flows. He is uncomfortable with the compromises to his idealism. He remains committed to social justice and joins his friends for the May Day rally where his comfort and confidence in his place in society cause him to defer to no man, certainly no rat faced men in overcoats with red armbands. His great pleasure in life moreover is laying brick. He finds the work satisfying and fulfilling which is why he was such an obviously superior worker in the first place.
基耶斯洛夫斯基早期短片看到現(xiàn)在觀感最好的一部,不止因為使用了彩色膠片。又是集體記憶與私人記憶并置的拍法,基氏在游行隊伍的口號聲中,聚焦到磚匠的形象和他平靜的自述,從年輕時的積極分子到成為官僚制度的一塊磚,再到56年幻想破滅,真正又做回磚匠,搭建片末俯瞰視角下的華沙。拍攝對象略帶疲憊的聲音增添了豐富的戲劇性。
被基耶斯洛夫斯基拍紀(jì)錄片很榮幸(好么)

英雄的華沙工人萬歲?那搬磚的華沙工人呢?要知道,英雄的華沙工人可是不搬磚的喲~英雄的華沙工人只會喊英雄的華沙工人萬歲,然后喊搬磚的華沙工人搬磚。
現(xiàn)實的一天和人物記憶的一長段歷史並列,要做建設(shè)共產(chǎn)主義的磚匠!

略帶慵懶但又不失滄桑的口吻,中年男人回憶起自己曾經(jīng)的光榮歲月,然而最終讓自己心滿意足的還是磚匠,因為踏實,因為沒有讓自己虛度光陰。勞動后的成果才是實實在在的光榮,而不是勞動這一行為所附帶的某正政治傾向所賦予的光榮職位,基斯可以說相當(dāng)大膽了!
用勞動節(jié)這一天加上結(jié)尾的砌磚就展現(xiàn)了一個人的一生。
看著自己建造的房屋如此牢固,他感覺今生并未白費。
一個人的一天和一個人的一生,這是基老師超水平發(fā)揮的一部,如果不是透過他的鏡頭,我們怎么還能看到波蘭的五一游行?此片有思考深度,片尾的航拍和最后的砌磚鏡頭很贊,當(dāng)然,立意最NB,這是一種對當(dāng)時社會的沉默抗議。
把由與畫面無關(guān)的關(guān)于一生的流線式描述和突如其來的感慨組成的旁述和一天的日常生活細(xì)節(jié)組合在一起,倒是一個拍法。結(jié)尾磚匠融入人群,與德西卡一樣用了抽離和還原的方法,轉(zhuǎn)而真的切到了砌磚的鏡頭,力量就到了。
半紀(jì)錄半論文
寵辱不驚
烏龍,拍到自己了
慶祝五一的隊伍好壯觀,波蘭工人階級萬歲。。。可是他覺得人事部主人還不如砌磚來的帶勁,哈哈。
果然好的片子還是一眼就能感受到好的//也可能是對尤其具體的人物的展現(xiàn)讓影像也變得具體起來 集體記憶和個體記憶總是存在著些許偏差 個人的痛苦和快樂或許都算不上什么
這部紀(jì)錄短片在基耶斯洛夫斯基的早期紀(jì)錄片里面比較特別,除了是用彩色膠片,全片是以主角磚匠的自述貫穿,有別于他其他的紀(jì)錄片中常用的訪談式或者對話式的手法?!霸?jīng)有段時期,可口可樂是我們的敵人,因為那代表著西式的生活。但現(xiàn)在,他們也生產(chǎn),到處都是標(biāo)語,"每天喝可樂 身體更健康",等等”
就這樣·一生一個人,一人就一生·!哲學(xué)與思辨的!
看基耶的紀(jì)錄片不會覺得是在看紀(jì)錄片,他通過影像記錄需要被記錄下來的事實,用自己的話語或別人的話語表達對事實的看法和思考,讓觀看者通過觀看影片有所啟發(fā)。
