康沃尔渔村的风景明信片田园诗误导了人们。虽然过去钓鱼是一种养家糊口的方式,但如今富有的伦敦游客纷纷下山,取代了当地人,当地人的生计因此受到威胁。史蒂文和马丁兄弟的关系也很紧张。马丁是一个没有船的渔夫,因为史蒂文开始用它来为一整天的游客提供更赚钱的旅游。他们卖掉了这座家庭别墅,现在看来,最后一场战斗是和新主人在海边的停车位上展开。然而,情况很快就失控了,而不仅仅是因为车轮夹钳。,Bait是一种黑白,手工制作,16毫米胶片制作的电影。许多关于鱼,网,龙虾,长靴,绳结和渔篮的特写镜头让人想起了蒙太奇景点的理论。对不同社会阶层的描述——可以说是阶级关系——也让人想起了英国电影中的社会现实主义传统。然而,最重要的是,在影像中不同层次的电影历史参考文献之下,当前许多政治关联正在等待被发现。,The,picture-postcard,idyll,of,the,Cornwall,fishing,village,is,misleading.,While,fishing,used,to,be,a,way,of,supporting,oneself,,wealthy,London,tourists,have,now,descended,and,are,displacing,the,locals,,whose,livelihood,is,thus,threatened.,The,relationship,between,brothers,Steven,and,Martin,is,also,strained.,Martin,is,a,fisherman,without,a,boat,,since,Steven,started,using,it,for,far,more,lucrative,tours,for,all,the,day-trippers.,They’ve,sold,the,family,cottage,and,now,it,seems,that,the,final,battle,to,be,fought,is,that,with,the,new,owners,over,the,parking,space,next,to,the,sea.,Yet,the,situation,soon,gets,out,of,hand,,and,not,just,because,of,the,wheel,clamp.,Bait,is,a,black-and-white,film,shot,on,hand-processed,16mm.,Numerous,close-ups,of,fish,,nets,,lobsters,,wellington,boots,,knots,and,catch,baskets,bring,to,mind,the,theory,of,a,montage,of,attractions.,The,depiction,of,the,different,social,strata,–,one,could,speak,of,class,relations,–,is,also,reminiscent,of,the,tradition,of,social,realism,in,British,cinema.,Above,all,,however,,a,whole,lot,of,current,political,relevance,is,waiting,to,be,discovered,beneath,the,different,layers,of,film,historical,references,contained,in,the,images.
