The reason for giving a 5 is largely because I watched Fantastic Beasts 2 and Venom in a row. Fantastic Beasts 2 made me want to write a movie review, and the plot of Venom has basically been forgotten by me.
In a movie, one of the protagonists jumped backwards, one was killed, and two pairs of CPs were dismantled and half of Paris was destroyed. In the end, the villain was unscathed. The last time I saw such a miserable commercial film was Avengers III. Let me say, the name of the movie The Crimes of Grindelwald doesn't fit the title. This movie should be called Grindelwald's Victory, just like the Avengers III should be called Thanos. This movie has all the lights on. on Grindelwald.
For a long time, Grindelwald has always been a former, outdated, failed, I don't know who he is, and dying for Dumbledore is quite a blast. Demon Lord, this kind of image appears, basically a transparent character, We can only say that from his resume, Grindelwald is also a person who has done great things, but we don't know how he did great things, and what is the difference between the temperaments of the two Dark Lords. And FB2, the film that should be renamed Grindelwald's Victory, vividly portrays a Dark Lord who is ambitious, cruel, insightful, and skilled in language games. Leverage, after all, as soon as Lao Ge came out, Voldemort lost his fans madly.
Grindelwald is good at penetrating the weakness of the human heart, finding it, using it, and making people use it for himself. He is like a dream maker. He said to the wizards, "Follow me and work hard, and you can use magic in an open and fair manner and rule the world." He said to Queenie, "Follow me and work hard, and you'll marry the Muggle you like." He said to Cresden, "Follow me and work hard, and you'll know who you are and who you are. "So a dream is a good thing, because there is everything in a dream. And Grindelwald's sin has never been to bring fear to the wizards, but the dream he created, which brings illusory hope to the wizarding world.
Grindelwald is good at speaking, especially good at attaching his own thoughts to others. His speeches always make people think that he is valued. Grindelwald empathizes with him, is his friend, and belongs to the same camp , while they are working towards the same goal. Look, what a perfect gift for empathy and empathy. But to be honest, I laughed out loud while watching his speech, because it really violated the table. He is obviously such an ambitious and selfish character, yet he portrays himself as a The savior of the wizarding world, the great reformer and the leader, this feeling is like a cruel lion, obviously still wearing the leftover flesh and blood, but wearing a rabbit skin to trick more silly rabbits into being fooled In general, his body is not only the look down on Muggles by wizards, but also the look down on wizards by Grindelwald.
In Grindelwald's world, all living beings are ants, who has he put in his eyes? Whether it is a silent person or a loyal subordinate, in his eyes, they are all useful knives. Only Albus Dumbledore is an opponent worthy of his attention and expectation. For this, he is even willing to find a good knife, which is really touching in a sense.
Let's talk about Albus Dumbledore after we talk about Grindelwald
Compared to Grindelwald, who was shaped by the movie, Albus Dumbledore's character is relatively thin. His role basically stayed at the protagonist going to Paris, rejecting the idiots from the Ministry of Magic, watching the Mirror of Erised, and finally appearing to get a blood alliance bottle, but contacting Dumbledore and Grindelwald's previous entanglements and Dumbledore In the image of Harry Potter seven, we can still calculate a relatively plump person.
Albus Dumbledore and Grindelwald were lovers when they were young. At that time, the two were like-minded, and the slogan for the greater good was proposed by Albus, but in one case, Albus, Albus' younger brother In the firefight with Grindelwald, Dumbledore's little sister, Ariana, died unexpectedly. From then on, Grindelwald left Albus and took the Elder Wand, and Albus's relationship with his brother deteriorated rapidly.
After that, Albus Dumbledore taught and educated people in the school, and Grindelwald made trouble in Europe, and for Albus Dumbledore's "passive" living state, Grindelwald even called it. "Hiding in the school", in his opinion, Dumbledore should follow him to make troubles and rains, even if another force specifically opposes him, it is better than staying in the school for a quiet time.
If it was the young Albus Dumbledore, the Albus who said for the greater good, Grindelwald's idea might come true. However, the guilt over Ariana's death made Albus suppress all his youthful thoughts, including the desire for power, including the greater good, and even made him take a completely different path from his younger self.
He has been regretting the death of Ariana, if he was less rebellious and wanted to leave the house and take up the responsibility of being the eldest son, if he would find a stable job step by step, take good care of his family, not with Grande Wo went to those fantasies, those roads, and even ignored his family for it, wouldn't his brother be provoked, wouldn't that battle never happen, wouldn't Ariana not die?
This kind of torture tortured his heart over and over again, making him shy away from power, or people who have a strong desire for power (as he said in the movie, the people who seek power). He is afraid that his ambition will be ignited again. The last time his ambition was ignited, he lost Arianna, and he can no longer afford the price of the second ignition. This sense of guilt and vigilance turned Albus Dumbledore's path in the opposite direction - equality, protection and love
Grindelwald and Dumbledore are like two sides of black and white. They come from the same source but are far apart. Dumbledore also has an exceptionally powerful personality charm and a tyrannical level of magic, but he will not use his power and charm to It is very honorable to reverse black and white and seek profit. Ariana's death taught Dumbledore to learn restraint and patience, and it also made Grindelwald successfully become the type of person that Albus avoided the most.
However, even if you can't avoid it, love is always unreasonable. Dumbledore's role in this movie is most worth mentioning is the performance of the Mirror of Erised. In the Mirror of Erised, he first saw the scene of the blood alliance when he was young, and his expression was inevitable at this time. There is a sense of nostalgia, even a relaxed feeling. With the completion of the blood alliance in the mirror, Dumbledore became more and more tense, and his whole person was like a tense bow, until now Grindelwald Appearing in the mirror, Dumbledore was completely relieved, and there was a little dejected light in his eyes. At this time, his eyes were full of writing, why is it always you?
Yeah, why has it always been you? The saddest thing is that even though this love has ruined my family and my relatives are gone, I can still see you when I look at the Mirror of Erised many years later.
In the past, as the eldest son, Albus Dumbledore was forced to live in shackles. The arrival of Grindelwald and the summer of that year ignited his passion, but after the passion, only a wreck was left. Dumbledore returned to the shackles, and even took the initiative to lock himself deeper. And what he pinned on Grindelwald was not only all of his personal love, but also his passion, ambition and longing when he was young. Staring at his youthful self.
After talking about Grindelwald and Dumbledore, I also want to talk about the Ministry of Magic
The Ministry of Magic, across all of Rowling's books, including the Harry Potter books, including Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, has always been the strongest background version and a concentration camp for idiots.
And the Ministry of Magic in this movie follows the tradition and is still the Ministry of Magic we are familiar with. To put it simply, it is the pig teammate as always, helping to restore blood to the opponent and killing teammates by the way. It is always doing two things. thing:
1. Believe it or not, like Umbridge, like the guy in this movie who was sent to kill Silent
2. People who don't believe in it, such as Dumbledore, Harry Potter, Newt Scamander, as long as it is the protagonist, it offends all the time
When I saw the movie where the Ministry of Magic was watching Newt and watching Dumbledore put him in the shackles, I wanted to cover my face and shout out which country's mentally retarded Ministry of Magic is this? Oh, the British... very good, this familiar mentally retarded painting style, this familiar brain has a pitted attitude. You also know that Dumbledore is the only person who can match Grindelwald, such a wizard who is almost equal to an amulet. As for the disrespectful trespassing in the classroom, the pressing and arrogant attitude of talking, the Auror's shot is to kill the Arvada and the success of the people's anger, etc. I don't want to say more about the mentally retarded plot, and only the Ministry of Magic can do it.
The Ministry of Magic, as the ruling party, can always beat the opposition side, because of his stupidity, to be precise, the group of idiots, idiots, raised placentas who give orders, are always good at screwing everything up and looking good. The cards were badly played.
How down-to-earth was Grindelwald on the side of the opposition, he called other wizards my brothers and sisters, his speeches made wizards empathize, their blood boiled, and what about the Ministry of Magic? There is only violent suppression, strict laws, as long as you don't cooperate, you will be shackled, always condescending, only me, and the appearance of the Ministry of Magic ruling the wizarding world, how is it possible to win people's hearts? Honestly, seeing the dominance and disrespect of the Ministry of Magic in the movie, and with a strong sense of stupidity, made me want to jump to Grindelwald.
Continue to compare Grindelwald and the Ministry of Magic from another angle:
From the movie alone, the purpose of Grindelwald's promotion has never been the battle between pure blood and mixed blood in the wizarding world. His goal is the entire Muggle world, so that wizards can become superlatives and use magic in an open and honest way. The practice of enslaving Muggles and Grindelwald's direct appeal to war, plundering resources and living space, and establishing world dominance through war is typical hawkish thinking
The corresponding dovish thinking should be to use peaceful methods to negotiate, establish diplomatic relations, sign contracts, and peacefully transition. The wizard slowly reveals his existence and seeks a space to live in harmony with Muggles.
And the thinking of the Ministry of Magic? The Ministry of Magic has no minds, their minds are - oh my god, Grindelwald wants to start a war, we have to stop him! As for what to do after stopping, Muggles are expanding their field of exploration, developing rapidly, and a series of questions such as how wizards should protect their own interests, etc., will not pass through their heads. Again, there won't be a half-point change.
To sum up, the Ministry of Magic is the biggest idiot in jk Rowling's world!
