有開心 有失誤 有理解 有欣慰
2 ) Essentialism
This film by Errol Moris features four characters with their separate, highly specialized but extraordinary careers: a lion trainer, a topiary sculptor, a mole-rat specialist, and a robot scientist.
Back to the title of this film, I felt “fast, cheap and out of control” aims to describe the process of how human’s essential needs being applied into actions, and how the eagerness of this need itself empowers human self to create regardless of environmental chaos, and taking anything away from logic tangibles. Since all the action being come from their original motivation, and thus they all are “Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control”.
In order to present their life more objectively, Moris takes himself as an interviewer behind the camera, who have the same curiosity about four characters’ life as other audiences, allows four interviewees to tell their real life in face of the camera or the audience. I think this camera technique called “Interrotron” powerfully fulfills the traditional function of documentaries – presenting the truth. And the First person story telling can also win the trust from all audiences. In this film, instead of establishing four characters’ narration one by one, Moris interplays, overlaps and interrelates these four separate and highly specialized subjects and makes them correspond to each other in the general theme.

又快又賤又失控
四個擺男人,生命新旅程,挖哈哈哈哈
喜歡馴獸師和園藝師說的話,另外兩人很煩。題材新穎,馬戲團的遐想。
這四個人其實沒半點關(guān)系,放在一起很牽強,如果獨立看每一個會比較好,有點莫名其妙的紀錄片
就算是Erron Morris拍,這片也沒什么意思.這種好萊塢式的精良制作似乎并不是這種平淡內(nèi)容的最好搭配.也許拍得rough一點反倒沒有這么無聊.
human, plant, machine, animal: just doing what's in our nature to do.
When I thought it had to be done, it had to be done
每個受訪者在旁白時,會不時插入其他三人工作生活情境的片段,通過這種語言與視覺內(nèi)容錯位的隱喻蒙太奇Morris將這四個職業(yè)全無相似性的個人聯(lián)系起來(這就是Errol Morris和Adam Curtis為何這么相似)。四人的相似點:熱愛自己的職業(yè)→對生命與秩序的思考
平凡人的平凡事,平凡事有不平凡的精彩。很有詩意的電影。
人研究動物,人修裁樹木形似動物,人制造機器欲作動物,人作為人馴養(yǎng)動物 & 人作為動物本身。Observe, detail, touch, alarm & reflexive. 不同物種、不同材料間,如一個隱喻把兩個詞連通入同一意義空間,互感互新。傾斜平展、奇速頓慢、脫色顆粒、失察權(quán)變 & 知限超限。
技法上,攝影機總是不斷的嘗試不同程度的傾斜位置,卻全然不會對觀看造成影響.以及存在一段鮮明的主題音樂貫穿終始,這樣的做法也為影片四個職業(yè)創(chuàng)造了一種連續(xù)性,它的出現(xiàn)時常引起注意,以識別、理解人物的情感狀態(tài)或是內(nèi)在聯(lián)系.
看似完全不相干職業(yè),都提煉出共同的人與動物,自然,以及人和人之間關(guān)系的喻指。四個人物的素材穿插馴獸師老電影片段呼應,雜技團表演場面,動畫等影像,大段音樂配合畫面節(jié)奏,采訪人物面對鏡頭,影像特效似梅里埃魔術(shù),快慢鏡頭變化節(jié)奏感強烈,園藝師多動作場景表現(xiàn)
A quirky approach to investigate the meaning of life through interviewing four unrelated passionate individuals. Very interesting and inspiring.
Errol Morris is everything I want to be... at least for now
結(jié)構(gòu)像《主角》
看完心里是很復雜的,既有希望,又心懷悲憫。自從人類誕生,我們又何時完全掌控過生命體的進化方式?即便是人類親手創(chuàng)造的機器,也有不聽使喚的時候。不過這沒有《失衡生活》里的冷漠,四個普通人,活得都不容易,都熱愛事業(yè),為的是自己的價值體現(xiàn),也是為了給后人留下點精神財富。神剪輯!神配樂!
