My changing history of viewing tastes, tell me why you changed, and what moved you?

My films can be divided into four stages.

But I think I wrote a personal memoir.

Stage 1: 20 16

At first, I entered the movie pit mainly because of several major Hollywood movies: Harry Potter, Marvel Comics, X-Men, DC. At that time, I liked to brag with my classmates after reading it. Now I feel quite ignorant, but I am also very happy.

At that time, I preferred movies that focused on refreshment, visual impact and characterization. Batman has become my favorite screen image.

Stage 2: 20 17~20 18.5

It started at the beginning of 20 17, but at that time, under the influence of a senior, I watched some movies that were not to my taste at that time, including some romantic films, some romantic films and some fairy tales. Although I didn't like it very much at that time, it undoubtedly broadened my film vision and cognition. During this period, la la land, which had the most profound influence on me, was released on Valentine's Day 20 17. At that time, a very good female classmate invited me to go to the cinema, but I turned her down because I didn't like singing and dancing. As a result, a month later, she became my girlfriend. So this movie I didn't watch has become one of my most unforgettable movie memories. Later, I finally enjoyed it on the Internet, and it became the movie I have watched the most times so far. Sometimes watching this romantic film about incomplete love is actually more about yourself. I always recall my most unforgettable relationship and wonder if the ending would be better if I went to the cinema at that time.

Later, because my art teacher occasionally showed movies in class (high school art major), this art teacher liked movies quite well. Will last until the end of 17. So I further broadened my cognitive boundaries. My favorite directors at this stage are: Christopher Nolan, Damien Chazelle, quentin tarantino and wes anderson. These four directors taught me the basic knowledge of almost all films and the existence of film language. From Nolan's Inception showing me what narrative skills are, to Chazelei's The Burst Drummer telling me about the magic of editing, la la land introduced me to the long shot for the first time, and then Quentin taught me the role of lens language and the charm of genre films, as well as the director wes anderson, who I like very much so far, which gave me the deepest understanding of film as an audio-visual art.

It was also during this period that I began to use watercress frequently. I didn't call it this ID at first. Later, after reading blade runner, which is also very important to me, and PKD's monograph, I suddenly thought of the name "Dika's Sheep", which has been used all the time, even on other social platforms. It can be said that the greatest help for my future growth comes from this website and many users and friends in the website.

The third stage: 2018.6 ~ 2018.38+02.

This is a turning point in my life: after the college entrance examination. As a high school art student, I actually had the opportunity to enter the film major because of my volunteer and school reasons, so I made a decisive choice without hesitation. So since then, apart from my own love for movies, I have a sense of mission in my heart: I want to be a professional in the future, and I want to watch more "professional" movies. In this way, Jean-Luc Godard, the most important/favorite director in my private film history, appeared in front of my eyes. At that time, I saw his photos and many people's comments on his movies. I thought he was cool, so I chose the masterpiece Tired to have a look. This movie is like a key, which opens a brand-new door for me, unprecedented. I learned that movies can be shot like this, clips can be cut like this, and stories can be written like this. At the same time, the word "new wave" is deeply rooted in my mind-how can there be such a cool word! I also know that this is a great film innovation movement. I also began to understand: ah, this is the history of movies. I began to buy professional books and gradually moved towards my ideal direction.

As I gradually integrated into this circle after socializing, I went to Chengdu to go to school. The breadth and depth of understanding of movies, like a flight over half of China, soared into the sky. At the beginning of September, I attended the first film festival in my life and watched the first non-cinema film in my life: claire danes's Warm Heart. At that time, I didn't even know Deni. This movie is very special, because there are many dialogues and daily plots. I don't like it very much, but I am always excited. Looking at the light projected from the lens and watching a circle of people focusing on the screen, I was deeply proud that I was a "movie fan" at that time. There is nothing to be ashamed of and nothing to be sad about. I will always regard myself as a movie fan.

Since then, my taste has gradually accelerated to what everyone used to call "literary films" (I don't know how to describe it). In these short six months, I have been watching movies quickly, knowing and watching many very special film authors, and making many online friends.

The fourth stage: 20 19. 1~ now

In June 5438+10, I started a WeChat group on a whim. At that time, I also wanted to have an online friend to watch movies with. I simply decided to hold an online film festival similar to the Cannes Film Festival, and then took a random name-Golden Sheep (because it comes from my ID). As a result, five months later, the number of WeChat groups or Golden Sheep began to expand, although it was still pitiful. So I also made a group of online friends with particularly good relationships, waiting for the opportunity to meet offline.

Because "Golden Sheep" has added a layer of passivity to my movie viewing, because then I have the motivation to watch some films that I don't particularly want to see but are very necessary. At the same time, because of this, the wider the taste of watching movies, the more people will come to see me, and I will watch almost any type and any country. I have become an omnivore, a small fan who occasionally loves "overeating", and my reading volume is also increasing.

If I were to say my favorite now, I would probably think it was a romantic movie. I always seem to be obsessed with things between men and women. Perhaps it is because they are scarce and always lack love; Maybe it's because it touched me the most.

In fact, it is quite vulgar to think about it occasionally, but life is naturally inseparable from feelings, and so is watching movies.
