FB2's messy edits and jumping plots are unbearable. The movie is only worth two stars, for Grindelwald's sake, two stars, four.
Depp successfully played a cool, handsome and arrogant Dark Lord Grindelwald in a large and messy plot. I'm really sorry for my girlish heart for not writing a movie review.
Grindelwald at the end of FB1 may have played too short a time, and it has a weird sense of incongruity with the atmosphere of the whole film. After a bunch of well-dressed handsome men and beauties in the American magic circle appeared in turn, after Uncle Colin appeared in a long trench coat countless times like a runway show, seeing Uncle Pu's fat face, I really made a scene in a second.
But FB2's Grindelwald is really amazing: prison, layout, speech... all in one go. Even if the whole film is as rotten as tofu scum, all the characters persist on the edge of OOC. But the character of Grindelwald was a success. Depp performed a gentle cruelty in FB2, like a blade under a veil - you can feel his warmth and sensitivity, but at the same time realize the coldness of his core, this looming sense of danger is fascinating.
Whether it's placating Antonio and throwing the poor little monster out, leaving Muggle babies to his subordinates to "clean up", or waiting for the first victim of a rally to appear, it can be seen that he sees others as fulfilling his ambitions chess pieces. But what's interesting is that there is a passion in him, a burning madness, all his expressions and expressions are confident, yes, he sees others as chess pieces, but he wants you to step on his chessboard yourself , and even sacrificed his life for him.
Depp played the role with a sense of split conflict, just like his definition of different pupils, warmth and cruelty, indifference and passion, these opposing feelings reside in one, which greatly increases the charm of this villain. After watching it, I couldn't help but sigh, your uncle is still your uncle, and if you play it by another person, you may not be able to perform such a complex and multi-layered feeling.
JKR said he was both a prophet and a liar. But in my opinion, the prophecy doesn't really have much effect on whether he takes the path of the Dark Lord, and the vision of the future he shows at the rally is only part of the deception. He understands the fears of these wizards too well, so he He used his innate talent to add fire to this fear, forcing those believers into his trap. But in fact, given his attitude of treating almost everyone as a tool, he probably doesn't really mean anything to the "freedom", "truth" and "love" he said.
As far as Depp's performance in the movie is concerned, Grindelwald's ambition to realize himself is far greater than the so-called political dream of "for greater good". He is more like a wise and powerful madman, standing in the flames, under the dark night, and above the tombs with the unwillingness of not being able to stretch his own will and the pride of manipulating people's hearts. The blue flame is not only like his rebellion against the existing order, but also like the desire for destruction and control that spews out of his heart. They all end up" support until one of them is completely wiped out by the other.
From the point of view of FB2, there is no doubt that GGAD can't make it. Grindelwald's ambition is too big, and the big one almost engulfed his ego. His gift for prophecy, his magical abilities, his ability to perceive emotions...all of which he has run for the sole purpose of his ambition to rule. This man has no place in his heart for anything other than ambition. As JKR said, he used and controlled Dumbledore more, and was infatuated with and delighted in meeting rare and excellent pieces.
He is good at manipulating people's hearts, and good at deceiving and bewitching others. This is his ability and his curse. Because he uses love as a tool, it is impossible for him to believe in love; because he uses people as pawns, it is also impossible for him to believe that other people have an identity other than useful value for him. I don't know what Grindelwald was thinking when he spent the rest of his life in prison, whether he repented or not, but whatever he was thinking, those two months of meeting were a mirage tragedy for the two young people because they saw It looks very similar, but is actually very different.
