Personality assessment
In the film Far Away, Lorenzo Vigas is a blockbuster, which not only brings Venezuelan movies into the global audience's field of vision, but also shows his energetic words and deeds through the lens, thus accurately reflecting the spiritual life of teenagers in the slums of Venezuela's capital. In addition, the suspense or the pursuit of natural effects in the play is actually traceable, not very clever, but the emotion is sincere. The director made this "ordinary" gay story exquisite and touching. Focus plane's language is concise, but rich in content. The lens usually compresses the characters in a wide screen, and zooms in and out the depth of field to illustrate the relationship and even emotions of the characters. The voice is very expressive, and many plots are done with voiceover. Unfortunately, the film fails to dig deeper into the characters, and the development of the relationship between the characters is not so convincing in some places. However, as a debut film, the director shows the uniqueness of the lens language, and the most important thing is to make the film sincere, which is rare. Com and Sohu Entertainment).
