Bet365 lotto review

The movie "Witnesses of the People" by non -directed director was released in 2013。to this day,The movie's playback volume on major video platforms is still high,There are two main reasons。On the one hand,The choice of love and law displayed in this movie is a real problem that exists in social life and has attracted much attention; on the other hand,,This movie continuously constructs and eliminates the "truth" through the language of different roles and the corresponding images,Finally revealed objective facts from layer of fog,enhanced the tension between love and law,Reached a more ideal performance effect。Analysis of the perspective of the relationship between the language -analysis of the narrative logic of this movie,Not only helps to construct a summary of the suspense of the movie,And can help us think more about the main purpose of the film's intention to express。

 The narrative background visible to the "National"

Director named the movie "Witnesses of the People",Itself sets a "national" narrative background through the title of the story,Conditions that enable "Witnesses of the People",is the media's broadcast and report。In this film,The media plays the role of "truth"。Whether it is the audience in the film,Viewers who are watching the video outside the film,All from the perspective of the media to understand the case and trial situation。So,The media also represents the perspective of the public。For example, the beginning of the film,Female reporters in red introduced the basic situation of the case in front of the camera,On the screen of the guide room,Our sight with the audience bet365 Play online games in the film has achieved unity,Both the female journalist on the TV screen and learned about the basic case。At the same time,The live broadcast of the TV station is to present the current scene with images,Our sight is still consistent with the audience in the film,I learned about the situation before the trial through the screen。It is worth noting that,The broadcast and reports of the media are actually transmitting information to the audience with images of language and continuous movement,With the help of modern media allows the public to understand the cases they are concerned about,To achieve "National Witness"。and the audience outside the film, through the unity of the sight of the audience in the film,A trial of the case of "witness" case,"The whole people" change from the audience inside the film to the audience inside and outside the film,The range is expanded。

This "national" narrative background,To a large extent, the case trial becomes transparent,Therefore, it is easy to form a psychological presets in the audience inside and outside the film- "I" see the trial results through media broadcasting。This psychological preset will cause the audience to lack question and reflection,Lead my nose in the trial。For example, before the start of the trial,The major media are waiting in front of the court to wait for the defendant Lin Mengmeng's father, the well -known businessman Lin Tai、Prosecutor Tong Tao、Defendant's defense lawyer Zhou Li,The audience heard from the reporter's introduction from the reporter from the live broadcast,Seeing the media deliberately cooperate with the close -up lens that turns to the three people。If there is no reporter's introduction,As a film audience, we see the close -up lens of the three people,Inside the heart, inner subjective evaluation of the appearance Bet365 lotto review of the three,No too much judgment。But,With the introduction of reporters,When we see the close -up lens of the three people,The judgment beyond the evaluation of its appearance will be born。Combination of language and images,It will have a guidance effect on the judgment of the audience。

On the one hand,The narrative background visible to the "All" makes the audience inside and outside the film unified,Can produce a good substitution effect,Help audience outside the film entered the storyline very well,Enhance the appeal of the film。On the other hand,The infectious power and immersion of the "national" visible narrative background make the cognition and judgment of the audience outside the film being guided by the language and image inside the film,It is difficult to truly make judgments on the events in the film,This is here,Movies can construct suspense through language and image。

 Language with image manufacturing and elimination suspense

Language with image manufacturing suspense mainly occurs in the trial process。

First, the media commented before the trial created a suspense。The language of the comment allows the audience to have a vulgar imagination without seeing video evidence。Lin Tai determines that her daughter is not guilty,Let reporters do not trust the so -called evidence。Dialogue between reporters and Lin Tai also played a effect of creating suspense。

Followed by the personnel participating in the trial during the trial process, the evidence related to the case created suspense。After the trial starts,Tong Tao asked Lin Mengmeng's process and videos of the crime.,enable the audience to understand the specific situation of the case。It is worth noting that,Although the surveillance video records the picture of Lin Mengmeng's appointment with Yang Dan and driving into Yang bet365 live casino games Dan,But the monitoring video is only the picture,No sound,This means that the scene of the incident was "absent",It is clear that Lin Mengmeng and Yang Dan can be seen on the screen,But the audience can’t understand what they speak,The information carried by the language is missing。Actually,The lack of information provides imagination space for the characters and audiences outside the film,So as to achieve the effect of making suspense,It also laid a foreshadowing for the next development of the story。At this time,The only person can hear the sound of the personnel at the court。Facing questions from the prosecution,Facing the testimony of the prosecution witness,The defendant Lin Mengmeng and the defendant's defense lawyer Zhou Li all expressed no opposition、No question。This is the case,Tong Tao step by step、Logic and clear questions and Zhou Li's "negative" response state guide the audience believes that the conclusion of the case is already clear。On the surface,The suspense created at the beginning of the film seems to be eliminated in a few minutes,Actually,The doubts in the audience have further deepened。

Lin Tai's old subordinates、Yang Dan's driver Sun Wei as a prosecution witness provides testimony in court。Under a series of inquiries of Zhou Li,Sun Wei's answer shows a "truth" that is completely different from the audience before。In the "truth" composed of Zhou Li and Sun Wei's language,The defendant Lin Mengmeng became the victim。This year's 20 -year -old girl's face is blank、helpless to make the audience compassion,This "truth" is obviously more likely to be accepted by the audience。The second trial,Tong Tao's question about Lin Tai and Zhou Li's question to Sun Wei,Also with the audience's sympathy for Lin Mengmeng and the prejudice to Lin bet365 live casino games Tai。The audience turned to determine that Lin Tai was the "true murderer" of the "scapegoat" with the biological daughter and the old department.。

During the trial process,The ambiguous photos of Lin Tai and Su Hong are an image "Evidence"。Su Hong's answer made by the police's interrogation,The evidence was constructed in language。The cooperation of language and images constructs a logical "truth",but also caused "facts" to be blocked。At this moment, in the case of the two trials, Zhou Li's questioning link to Sun Wei and Tong Tao's question about Lin Tai,It is not difficult to find,The film is the "truth" that is logical through the cooperation of language and images.,Let the real "fact" be blocked,to achieve the effect of making suspense。The psychological state of the audience is an important condition for language and images to create suspense。Morris Mero-Ponter pointed out,"The meaning of the movie is incorporated into its rhythm,Just as the meaning of a physical action can be interpreted in this action。Out of its own,The movie does not express any other meanings。In a movie,The view is beaten back to the native state,It is revealed from the time structure of the film ","The intention of the film" "Not to speak for a certain independent understanding,Instead of interpreting the ability to interpret the objective world or character and coexist with it in our hearts "。

Language with image elimination suspense is mainly outside the trial process。

Tong Tao and Lin Tai have repeatedly "contest" in court,It seems that Lin Tai always allows his "illegal act" to escape legal sanctions。Tong Tao's narrative will allow the audience to form a judgment: based on a series of contradictions,Tong Tao will inevitably hold prejudice against Lin Tai。Although Tong Tao's language fails to directly eliminate the suspense bet365 live casino games of the incident,However, to a certain extent, the exposure of the facts in the second half of the film has echoed the facts。

During the conversation between Zhou Li and Lin Tai before the trial,We saw the fact that Lin Tai tried to spend money to make Zhou Li's innocent defense for Lin Mengmeng。The plot of the same workers and the conversation between Sun Wei and his wife and Lin Tai,The two created a perjury for Lin Tai's gratitude and care for Lin Mengmeng,The picture of the two talks with Lin Tai before the trial and the content of the content of the two people dispel the "truth" constructed by Sun Wei in court and the image "evidence" provided by Su Hong。The fact that the facts were blocked were exposed,Suspense can be eliminated。

The most powerful picture of this film's suspense is also the most shocking plot. It is a scene seen after Zhou Li drove into the Red Star Machinery Factory。The exact decoration effect as the scene of the crime makes Zhou Li convinced that the video he saw is a "pseudo -perjury"。The case was originally simple and clear,The videos provided by Lin Tai make the case confusing,Constructed the "truth" that constructed the logic of the audience,Observed objective facts,Created a series of suspense,After the audience saw Lin Tai's falsification of the "crime scene" with Zhou Li's sight,All suspense has been eliminated,Facts finally surfaced。

can be seen,In a movie,Different coordination of language and images can produce different effects。Some scholars pointed out: "The image needs to explain the thoughts that the implied words,Make thoughts clear; text also requires the help of images,Make it more image and specific。"This is exactly the key reason why" Witness of the People "can suspense。

When the facts are presented,As an audience, we may not feel relaxed due to the dissolution of suspense。On the contrary,Love and Law、The multiple tension bet365 Play online games formed by the formation of love and governance makes our mood a little heavy。"Witness of the People" reflects the director's respect and compliance with the law。Behind the tension of love and law,The issue of youth education is emphasized as the problem that the society needs to focus on。
