What does the theme of Tattoo want to express?
"Tattoo" is a collection of films that combines the current popular elements, and injects commercial visual application to attach it to the conceptual style of literary films, so that reality and dreams can be properly connected. Although most of the audience were attracted by the bold and beautiful romantic scenes of the same sex in the film, it was regarded as the biggest shock. However, in my opinion, this is just a burden carefully designed by the director to match the theme, and it cannot be simply regarded as eroticism. (Ha ha, but it's really beautiful and attractive.) Since its release, this film has also received mixed responses. Personally, I feel that Tattoo is a very successful commercial literary film. Why do you say that? At present, Asian films, especially Taiwan Province films, are in a recession, and the topics are either high or low, or they fall into the cliche, which is hard to be refreshing. Moreover, Taiwan Province lacks the initiative and courage of a large institution like Hong Kong on the mainland, so people engaged in the film industry have to face all kinds of challenges and choices for survival, whether it is a literary film or a commercial film, and the market determines everything, making personal style often deviate from the actual results. Peggy Chiao once said that it is really pitiful to open champagne when Taiwan Province films can break 1 million yuan. Even great directors such as Cai Mingliang, Yang Dechang and Hou Xiaoxian, who put great emphasis on individual will, are not spared, which shows the serious situation that Taiwan Province's films are divorced from local culture. I think whether a movie is successful or not, the most important thing is the idealized realistic positioning and overall consideration of the movie. Many themes actually determine one-third of the film's success factors, and the rest are the rationality of the combination of ideas (including actors, lines, story logic, scenes, etc.) and the perfect lens application skills. No profound theory can replace generate, who is full of wisdom. "Tattoo" is located in a literary film, but it is not limited to this. The director cleverly spreads out the characters, realistic background, narrative techniques, shooting skills and his personal theme, and strives to highlight the moral of the theme from every detail. First, he finds an appropriate assembly point, and then enlarges the assembly point one by one. Therefore, the whole film always revolves around the metaphor of human nature reflected by her. The interpenetration of different characters does not bring much looseness, and the visual sense is very good, and some places can even be a finishing touch. For example, when Xiaolu was about to pose in front of the computer to perform her job as a video girl, she suddenly caught a glimpse of her blind grandmother who had no intention of standing in front of the camera and eating fruit like no one else's watching. The way she jumped out of bed in a hurry to resolve it was particularly funny, which was also a kind of relief for the film's faint sadness. Although the narrative of the story is a little delayed, which leads to doubts, it is no harm to unify the film. The director originally wanted to use the narrative technique to achieve the purpose of telling the story. I think the main reason for the success of this film at the box office lies in Zhou Meiling's accurate and clear expression of the film's language and emotions and her ability to control the whole film. From this point, I admire her because it is not easy to do. First of all, "Tattoo" determines the theme needs that the audience wants to obtain: gay love, tattoo marks, video women, pure and sincere emotional entanglements ... all of which are close to life but divorced from the public theme, which determines the visibility of the film. Next, it is irresistible that the story is closely linked and the beautiful composition is slowly unfolding. Zhou Meiling, with a delicate and aesthetic perspective unique to women, interprets all the characters who were originally struggling and decadent as simple and simple on the other side, so that the whole film always runs through the pure confusion and sadness with burns emitted by the budding youth, and I feel that it is handled well. The real world is naturally full of ugliness and deceit, and everyone has his own multi-faceted personality. This is an unavoidable fact. It should not be a bad thing if we can mobilize the pure and beautiful side in a helpless situation, at least we advocate equality for beauty. I have seen other influential alternative films, where there are too many scenes of vulgarity and violence (not that they dislike realism), and this accumulation will make people feel uncomfortable and rarely have an accurate response. The other biggest selling point of Tattoo is choosing the right actor. I have always thought that mainland actors are the most professional, but they lack a little flavor. Hong Kong actors are the most temperamental, but they lack an inner cultural background. Taiwan Province actors are very emotional, but they have no personality. Often some movies with innate conditions can decide the final victory or defeat in the choice of roles, and Tattoo is such. I didn't know much about the two actors before. Rainie Yang only saw "I guess" hosted by her and Aya, Wu Zongxian. In the early days, I really didn't feel anything special. It belonged to the simple and wooden image of a good girl, which seemed to be specially decorated to set off other presenters. This time, her performance was very comfortable, and she performed a little girl's silly and persistent pursuit of dazzling and fragile dislocation love between reality and virtuality, which was quite similar, making people feel pity. I really can't think of anyone who can match such precocious psychological age and girl's appearance to interpret this role. Of course, Liang Luoshi is the one who surprised everyone. How can a girl who is only 18 years old be so calm and restrained on the screen? ! And really beautiful! It's very different from Liu Yifei's beauty. Hong Kong is really a place for beautiful women. I looked up the information about her on the Internet. It is very simple and stubborn girl. If I only look at the past fragments, it is difficult to connect her with handsome bamboo. However, the angular face does have a neutral feminine beauty, especially the image in middle school is irreplaceable. As the highlight of the film, the sex scene can't see the awkwardness of same-sex love because of Liang Luoshi's devotion, even more than the love between men and women, and it's even more difficult for onlookers to get mixed up with evil thoughts. In that song with a sad tune, "The moonlight is quietly shrouded in jasmine waiting for you to come into my dream ..." How can you resist the throbbing call of life? Some are just moved. Zhou Meiling, it's amazing to train a pure and beautiful girl to be so resolute, tender and speechless. However, Liang Luoshi's plasticity is really beyond imagination. Just because she is only 18 years old, her life experience has not accumulated enough to provide reference, just like a blank sheet of paper, which just completes the perfection of this role. (Including Isabella) I am very optimistic about her future development. In Hong Kong, her conditions can be described as unique, but it is really unsympathetic for Liang Luoshi, who has a wide career.
