My name is Mingsong. Hello everyone. My name is Mingsong. Welcome everyone to watch this issue of the film topic club. If you are also a movie enthusiast, please subscribe to our channel, and we will watch movies together with a learning attitude.
In this issue, the movie I talk to you about is "King Arthur: Beasts", which was released not long ago. It is a magical story based on history. The director of this show is Guy Ritchie, and the last time I saw his work was the "Sherlock Holmes" series starring Iron Man. Back to "King Arthur: Beast Fighting", a street gangster who grew up living in a brothel, pulled out the holy sword, avenged his father and won the throne. The plot is very old-fashioned, the only thing to watch is what I'm going to say next a paragraph.
This film is adapted from the legend of King Arthur's holy sword. At the beginning, Arthur's uncle usurped the throne and killed his father and mother, letting him run away. The moment my mother fell, the music and painting style changed, and I began to quickly explain the development of the whole story. In this issue, we will learn through the quick cuts of this section and why this section is the most exciting. To make it easier for you to understand, let's take a look at this section first.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Well, after reading this paragraph, we now start to summarize.
1. Grasp a main line that cannot be shaken. What is the main line? The growth here is the main line. How to express growth? The director used several sets of shots to compare before and after, to show the growth experience of King Arthur sideways. You may experience different things as you grow older, but one thing is certain, the line of making money and hiding money basically runs through the entire growth thread.
How to do the comparison? How did you deal with a certain thing when you were young, and how you dealt with it when you grew up, that is, a scene was shot with different age groups, different reaction shots, and it was broken up later in the editing. There are four story lines in this section, which are: making money and hiding money; learning kung fu; prostitutes and beating people;
Different from the previous sets of shots interspersed and edited, there is actually an indirect relationship between the four story lines here. Because he grew up in a brothel, he often saw clients beating people. The environment of the brothel brought him bad from elementary school, stealing money to gamble, and fighting with other people, which prompted him to hope to learn kung fu. When I grow up and train myself in the struggle, I will be able to protect prostitutes within my sphere of influence, collect protection fees, and become the leader of a group of gangsters.
2. Arthur's growth is a main line, and the auxiliary line is the tyranny after his uncle seized the throne. The two lines are crossed and edited to form a contrast. In a conventional way, it not only explained the growth of Arthur, but also accelerated the progress of the story.
3. The music in this section is great, and with the low rock style, it gives the epic story a different feel. The history of mixing and matching may be more in line with the tonality of the current era.
4. The rhythm is tight, the shots are clean and neat, and the fast editing is not only the need of the story, but also the embodiment of Arthur's character.
5. One last thing to add: the whole film is dark in style, my eyes hurt after watching the movie, it's too dark.
The bright moon and the pine, I am Mingsong. This issue of the film topic club will talk about this. If you are also a movie enthusiast, please subscribe to our channel, and we will watch movies together with a learning attitude.
