Calm down and enjoy it slowly. I saw more than 300 films before I came into contact with literary films. Some of them watch Peacock and beginning of spring with their peers, and they are going to sleep, but I watch them with relish (with a wonderful feeling) ... In the final analysis, we should gradually get rid of the taste spoiled by Hollywood and put too much emphasis on drama and conflict. After watching more Hollywood, we will really feel uncomfortable and bored with literary films with mild plots. However, the film art itself is not just born for the plot, and it will be a wonderful experience to feel its special audio-visual language quietly. For example, many films in "Park Chan-wook", such as "The Story of Stoke", can only be said to be passing grades, but what various montages present is far from what the script can bring to people.
So is physical gold. Feel the charm brought by the film from the heart, get rid of impetuous emotions and truly integrate into the film.
This is not a question of improving taste, but all movies want to be close and touched sincerely. You love movies, and movies will love you.
In fact, literary films are not purely for artistic expression, there are many categories. Like many commercial films, there are also factors of the author's film. For example, Yinan Diao's "Fireworks in the Day" is a very successful film combining commerce with literature and art in recent years, so literature and art are not antagonistic to commerce, just depending on which side the creator prefers. As for that too small cult film.
In the process of watching movies, you can naturally find out what tastes you like, and then explore them, instead of blindly following the crowd. It doesn't mean that literary films must be higher than commercial films.
I happened to watch several movies mentioned in the title, such as Spring Breeze, and Lou Ye style is really heavy. Maybe many people who watch this kind of movies for the first time are not used to it. The first movie Lou Ye saw was Mystery of a Floating City, which was already a very commercial movie. Of course, I think his best movie is Suzhou River. I quite agree with the story upstairs. Step by step. Many movies are boring. Patience is really necessary. Anjiro's long-range shot is really difficult. So it is best to learn from Gu Changwei, Jia and Wang Xiaoshuai. The sixth generation directors are all artistic ... It's really important to step by step. See this year's phenomenal work "Nie Yinniang the Assassin", even as the best director? In the days when it was released in Chinese mainland, the Cat's Eye Rating and Douban Rating were totally two levels, not to mention the professional film critics and the general audience. Ordinary viewers even have a lot of bad movies leaving the scene directly or commenting on short sentences.
But can this complain about the poor taste of the ordinary audience? I believe that if Jia's Xiao Wu is a literary film with a strong sense of conflict, it will not cause the topical phenomenon of The Assassin. The way I watch many movies is that I think Wang Xiaoshuai 17-year-old bicycles are good, and then I will continue to watch the directors' works, so that I will be familiar with the artistic style of each director unconsciously. Life is too short to watch all the movies in this life, so I must find my favorite movies, such as Chloe, Stoke and Exposure of Love. These are not good movies in the general public sense, but they are especially suitable for my personal taste.
I don't force myself to see things I don't like at all. I'm really not interested in The Wolf of Wall Street and 12 Years a Slave! To sum up, it is most important to calm down and feel the movie, and then touch it step by step, so that the movie that looks boring at first will be interesting. Finally, don't dwell too much on literature and business. There is no boundary between the two, and many defined literary films also have commercial considerations. The theme of Jia's "A Story of Twenty-four Cities" should be an out-and-out literary film, but there are stars such as Chen Jianbin, and there is no wall between literature and business. Most importantly, you like it. This is also complementary to the first point. Just because I like it, I feel it with my heart.
