"Elephant" (2003) 2003 Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or, Best Director Award Director: Gus Van Sant Starring: Ali Chris Forrester Eric Deulen John Robinson Genre: Drama/Crime The film is adapted from the Columbine High School shooting that shocked the world in 1999. It tells the story of a vicious shooting that occurred in an ordinary middle school in the United States. The film's title comes from the well-known ancient fable of the blind man and the elephant. After the "Columbine tragedy" occurred, the media over-exaggerated its bloody scenes, and many reporters, crime experts, psychologists and researchers on youth issues analyzed and commented on it. There were various speculations and unfounded rumors surrounding this juvenile tragedy. reproach, and at the same time become a form of public entertainment. All this disgusted director Gass, who considered it "a scandal in the history of American journalism." He said, "At this time, only a movie can reproduce the truth of the entire incident." The film strives to reproduce the entire event process through a "purely objective" film method, rather than the subjective judgment of oneself or others. Gass uses two fixed times as the starting point and end point of the film. Within this time period, the activities of different protagonists are related and intertwined. Each person's life becomes the other's "experience fragment". However, it is just a Fragments, only by connecting these fragments together can we get a complete time.
In addition to the unique narrative of the film, the campus life of teenagers and the problems that exist between them are also revealed. In society, the high school campus is an institution in modern society, just like in this American movie. It is also an illusion factory, a laboratory for learning to obey power, and an isolation with unique logic, order and desire. In this area, education becomes a mere formality, and adults do not fundamentally understand the world. Children's sadness, hatred, naivety and loneliness, this "problem age" has never received a reasonable solution. Gass interviewed many students for the filming. He said, "Some middle school students think their lives are a mess, others are very satisfied, but some people directly say that campus life is hell" (quoted from the French version of "Elephant" poster) . These hidden problems on campus are like a bomb. The film unplugs its catastrophic fuse. When Eric and Alex decide to solve these problems with their own logic and methods, they are no longer familiar with this adult world. Trust me again, this is not only a tragedy for a teenager, but also a tragedy for the adult world and modern society. The film objectively reproduced the living environment and status of contemporary middle school students, triggering society's renewed emphasis on youth issues. For this reason, the French National Ministry of Education awarded the first prize to "The Big Brother" with an absolute majority in the 2003 Social Education Selection. "Elephant", which shows the repercussions the film has caused in the entire Western education community. Psychological points of view: The movie challenges the realism of traditional movies with an unimaginable time-space language. From this perspective, the discussion naturally enters a philosophical level, regarding a fact that has already happened, time has passed, and Can the perceptual system established by recall and judgment restore the facts themselves? How to arrive at the truth starting from phenomena? Are empirical facts the essence of things? What is the relationship between the artistic fiction of movies and the authenticity of reality? This topic seems to have been extending from Husserl's phenomenology to Deleuze's "image-time theory". Gass wants us to see in this film that any rationality, whether it is ideological power discourse Or is it purely theoretical/discursive derivation, how blind and ignorant it is in the jungle of phenomena. He said, "I'm like Columbus, I won't know anything about anything," perhaps just like the opening lines of "Lola Speed", "The movie only lasts 90 minutes, and the rest is theory!"
