Personality assessment
Aki kaurismaki's films also return to nature, which accords with minimalist aesthetics. They are unique and poetic, and attach great importance to the use of light. It shows the lonely and alienated situation of human beings in contemporary society in the form of funny farce, combines subtle irony with grotesque cold humor, and presents the real living state of human beings in the black and absurd atmosphere. His films are rare in dialogue, exquisite in composition and extremely restrained in style, with a minimalist style. (Sohu Entertainment Review)
Aki kaurismaki's films always describe the miserable life of people living at the bottom of society, but they can be presented to the audience in a "cold humor" comedy way. He didn't just stack tragic elements and comic elements horizontally. He can always extend the meaning of tragedy when expressing comedy, and can always express it through his usual "cold humor" comedy way when expressing tragedy. No matter from the whole plot or a single plot, he always seeks a balance between tragedy and comedy. (Popular Literature Review)
Aki kaurismaki fills the gap in the history of Finnish films, and his description and reflection on the bottom society in Finnish films are full of the flavor of making up for the fault zone of Finnish films. The humor in his films is different from that in general comedies. In the process of exposing the reality naked, he combined such an almost absurd expression with simplified film elements, making the thinking in the film more real and profound, thus realizing the sublimation of the film. Blending some humorous elements into the seemingly hard life to show the life of the bottom people more truly not only expresses his span of social and historical development, but also makes his films multi-dimensional. (Comment on Journal of Liuzhou Vocational and Technical College)
Aki kaurismaki's film "Labor" trilogy shows his film aesthetics and creative characteristics. He knows that people at the bottom of society are struggling and forced by life. In the film, he combines the bottom of society with the people's survival law, and leads the audience to the bottom of society at a slow pace. He is good at grasping the warmth and coldness of the people at the bottom of Finland and using the method of "unity" to construct the narrative at the bottom. Although he used many artistic elements other than movies, he combined drama, painting and music on the basis of using movie language and scene scheduling. His Folk Politics not only reflects his reflection on Finnish history as a director, but also presents his own folk politics in an orderly way. (Comments on Film Literature and Journal of Beijing Film Academy)
Aki kaurismaki is not bound by the social customs and power groups that exist in Finland at all. He satirizes and comically expresses these customs and power groups in the form of farce in his works. His creation is deeply rooted in Helsinki's daily experience, expressing the general frustration experience of small and medium-sized people in an orderly metropolis, and embodying the author's extreme film style. His film language style is very distinctive, and his emphasis on conventional film elements such as characters and suspense is perfectly combined with impressionist image processing methods and symbolic scenes, which undoubtedly shows the most authentic part of Finnish national character. Compared with Bergman's philosophical theme of exploring the relationship between life and religion in indoor psychological dramas, his films are rooted in the bottom world of Finland, showing the constant loss of ordinary people and their persistence in precious personal dignity in setbacks, leaving a deep impression on the audience. His value lies in his realistic works full of compassion and profound experience, which profoundly reveals and criticizes the irrationality of the real society in a calm but humorous way.
