A look at Zack Snyder's works, from "Dawn of the Living Dead" in 2004 to "Sparta" in 2006, "Watchmen" in 2009 to "Legend of the Guardians" in 2009, all of Zack's works All of the works have a dark gothic tone, and this time "Pretty Girl" is the same.
From the very beginning of the film, the audience was drawn into a cold and violent atmosphere. The mother of the heroine Baby Doll passed away and inherited her will in the name of her and her sister. In order to snatch the inheritance, the murderous father ruthlessly attacked the sister. During the revolt, Baby Doll accidentally killed his sister with a pistol, and then his stepfather twisted him into a mental hospital, and made a dark deal with the evil nurse to remove the lobe of his brain after driving him crazy in the mental hospital. During the five days in the hospital, Baby Doll fantasized about escaping here with the sisters who were suffering.
The filming method of the film is very similar to that of "Inception", which makes the protagonist constantly shuttle between fantasy and reality without any explanation of the plot. "Inception" is based on the spinning top, while "Pretty Girl" is Take a dance of the heroine Baby Doll.
It's hard to define this movie as adventure, sci-fi, action, suspense, etc. It's not until the last second of seeing the movie that I really appreciate Zack Snyder's strong ability to write and direct such a seemingly The film of the popcorn movie left a deep mark on the audience's heart.
It can be said that in the first hour and a half of the film, the audience will think that Baby Doll is in the theater of a black-hearted boss, oppressed and bullied together with his sisters, and it is not until the last ten minutes of the film that the director shows the facts. Everything is fantasy, those cool PRG and action shooting scenes are just secondary fantasy, Zack Snyder is undoubtedly a visual master, in general, in those gray-blue gothic tone, violent loli The adventures and missions undertaken are extremely exaggerated and irregular, but the aesthetics created by the perfect CG visual effects and rock soundtrack are only pleasing to the eye. Just like "Spartan 300 Warriors", the picture actually looks dirty, but under the skillful use of slow motion and the impact of rock music, the cold and violent beauty will be vividly displayed.
In fact, what impresses me the most is not any visual shot, but the last monologue of the film. In such a seemingly bizarre and beautiful film, the last monologue with profound meaning is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The powerful director and perfect visual enjoyment are destined to confuse the hearts of all audiences.
