    Character Evaluation

    In the movie "The Hunger Games", director Gary Ross gave the film a long and unique style   . During the filming process, director Gary Ross painstakingly chose to dilute and obscure the bloody and violent elements. The weakening of the scene in the arena made the film lose a lot of breathtaking and exciting shots, but it made the film meaningful and extremely rich. The tension arouses the curiosity of movie fans, and gives them a little more thinking space apart from the tension of watching . 
    In the movie "The Free State of Jones", the director Gary Ross handled the ugly historical facts in a very appropriate way, but it would not make people feel that it weakened or downplayed the seriousness of historical events. Moreover, the film is scattered with many small, unmarked fragments, which can make people feel very real and directly reach people's hearts. By the end of the movie, the audience will clearly feel how masterful and ingenious Ross is in this subject matter .

      Society, duty, stability?

      "Don't play with fire, it's dangerous!" "Don't run around, there are bad guys!" "Don't fall in love, you can't take responsibility now!" "Which school have you been admitted to?" "Where do you work? How high is the salary? "I don't know why, these problems have been with us since we were born. Now...

      Essential love

      I like this kind of story that gets more and more profound.

      Black and white is the tone of the older brother David. He likes peace and quiet. Color is the tone of Jennifer. Adventure love is all perfect, and it feels very light at the beginning.

      However, the more you look at it, the more it tastes....

      It was the same year as "The World of Trumen". Although it is the opposite of "Chu", the whole world view is not unified, and the theme is also unclear (waiting for us to guess the real reason for the color change, and in the end we dare not give the TV series a shot: is it black and white or color?), drop It's inferior. The first film made by the university was about the black-and-white world of color-blind little girls because the little boy turned into color. At that time, I didn't know this film at all. It was amazing to hit the bridge.

    • Jennifer: [looking at boobs in mirror] I could, like, kill a guy with these things.

    • [first lines]

      [David is gazing admiringly at a pretty blonde girl]

      David: *Hi*

      [chuckles]

      David: I mean, Hi. Uh, look, you probably don't think I should be asking you this. I mean, not knowing you well and all? I mean, you know, I, I, I know you, 'cause everybody knows you. I just don't know you technically. Uh, anyhow. Uh, I don't know what you're doing this weekend, but my mom's leaving town, and she's letting me borrow the car.

      [the camera pulls back to show that the girl is standing several dozen feet away and, in fact, is smiling and looking at another boy]

      David: [Looks down at the ground, disappointed with himself, but still keeping his tone cheerful] Okey-dokey, so, just give me a call; let me know. Bye!
