The best director ever

Chapter 17 The Greatest Microfilm in History
"The Greatest Microfilm of All Time"

After writing the title, Qi Zhiwen took a deep breath, and then slowly wrote the movie review:

I saw that many people in the circle were promoting a micro-movie, including the Kubo video, and I was curious, and with a scrutiny attitude, I finished watching this movie-"The Tuner"!
This is a recent micro-movie with a duration of only ten minutes.There are very few characters in the movie, the scenes are plain, there are no luxurious stars, and there are no ostentatious scenes, but it is such a short and concise micro-movie that brings me no less shock than a 130-minute Hollywood blockbuster. Stimulate.

Director Han Qiu has constructed a perfect story for us. The film begins with the end of the film, and the surreal nightmarish scene can attract the audience's attention from the very beginning.And each subsequent shot is led by a flashback to the next shot until the female dancer appears.

The film climaxes in this beautiful, gripping scene, but immediately hits rock bottom, ending in the nightmarish scene at the beginning of the film in the final scene.

I have to say that in just ten minutes, this movie gave me too much shock. It expresses the meaning that many movies cannot express in a hundred minutes. A topic that normal people would avoid talking about is human nature. .

The protagonist, that is, the tuner, as a loser, did not bounce back and take part in the piano competition again as most optimists imagined.On the contrary, he is devastated and has no hope for life, so I say he is a complete loser.And since the loser didn't return to the game, what did he do?

He hid in a weak body, he chose to pretend to be a blind man, he chose to become a voyeur, just like his boss said (this world is either a voyeur or an exhibitionist).He hopes that being blind will bring him a new life.Because when he pretends to be a blind person so that others are not alert to him, he can unscrupulously peep at people's naked faces in the sun. He has more sympathy for his misfortune and thus more benefits.

There are no obstacles, no taboos, which fuel his audacity and give him once again a great enjoyment of music.Haven't you seen the hands of the tuner when the girls are dancing?What is the ironic contrast between this and his nervous performance during the game?
And this feeling of regaining the passion for music reached its climax in the last kiss of the female dancer. These wonderful moments that he had never thought of before, all benefited from his lies, and all benefited from his identity as a blind man.

But after the climax, the tuner's deviant behavior led him to become a witness to a murder, and crucially, he was also spotted by the keen wife's killer.

but?
What did the tuner do after the body was found?
He did nothing, he chose to continue to hide in his weak body and continue to play like a blind man in order to gain his life.

All the audience must be very surprised, why a strong boy at a young age did not resist, why a person who is obviously not blind and has normal vision did not choose to rush out of the door, why a young man who was obviously able to beat an old woman did not fight her fight!
Because he's a coward, he's a coward, he's a passive, uninitiated person.This point can be seen from his nervousness and mistakes in the game, and the decadence later can reflect these even more.

Not only that, but he has been denying himself from the beginning to the end, he has been escaping reality, failure, and inferiority all the time.And this kind of evasion made him inescapable in the end!
So when he made a decision after seeing the corpse, everything was too late, and his decision to continue escaping pushed him into the abyss!

After the tuner made a decision, he faced an embarrassing situation, because the woman took off his clothes and pants. Think about it, a voyeur, exposed naked to the eyes of another person, isn't that right? A kind of sarcasm?

And until the end, when the woman was standing behind him with a nail gun, the tuner was still immersed in the beautiful fantasy he had constructed. He fantasized that the woman did not know his identity, and he fantasized that he pretended to be a blind person and continued to play the piano If he goes down, that woman won't kill him.

However, all this is just a kind of self-psychological comfort for him to escape from reality!
However, after I have said so much, what exactly does director Han Qiu want to tell us?

Again, human nature!
The first point is what the boss said, the world is either a voyeur or an exhibitionist.I don’t think I need much exhibitionism. Now those anchors who sell meat in live broadcasts, those models, etc., I won’t say more about the purpose of doing this, everyone understands!In addition to exhibitionism, there is also voyeurism. The tuner in the film is one, and the neighbor is also one. He hides in the dark and peeps at other people's lives to satisfy his own dirty psychology. This is voyeurism.

The second point is what the tuner does.Including his nervousness during the game, the decadence after the game, and then satisfying his spiritual life by pretending to be blind.These reflect a person's cowardice, low self-esteem, escapism from reality, and even pretending to be weak to win sympathy.And what the author wants to tell us may be not to think about the tuner. If he could face the reality from the right point and have the courage to fight with women, maybe the ending would be different.

And the last point is this hypocritical and indifferent society, this society without trust among strangers, this society full of deception!Think about it, when the tuner is normal, the order does not double, but once he pretends to be blind, his order doubles.It can be seen that the sense of trust in this society is based on groups that are weaker than oneself. In addition, the part where the restaurant tuner pretends to be a blind person to pay can also show this.Hypocrisy, indifference, deceit!
This is our society!

Well, having said so much, there is one more question, that is whether the tuner is dead or not.

In my opinion, the tuner is dead because the woman saw through his identity, and the nail gun pointed at the back of his head by the woman can also explain it.Although there is no picture of a woman pulling the trigger at the end of the film, friends, please go back to the beginning, there is a sound there, maybe that sound is the sound of the woman pulling the trigger.

Of course, this is just my own opinion. The beholder sees benevolence, and the wise sees wisdom. I don't know what everyone thinks.

Finally, I would like to thank director Han Qiu for presenting us with such a short and powerful feast.It's only ten minutes long, but it's memorable.

One last time:
This is the most classic micro-movie I have ever seen, bar none!
