From a macro point of view, the film is still worth watching.
Many people scold the director for ruining his childhood, but I think the skill of Mr. David is very worthy of recognition. Clever narrative techniques, excellent scene transitions, perfect atmosphere creation, and just the right rhythm It can be said that this film can almost give full marks on the technical level.
I have a deep impression on a scene where the heroine was arrested, and the hero was on the way to rescue the heroine. Missing the heroine, he performed related performances in the hero. Later, the director did not directly cut the scene to the heroine, but inserted a short romantic story between the two, and then fixed it on the heroine, and then turned to the scene where the heroine was trapped; , Turn to the warm tones when men and women are together, and then to the cold tones where the heroine is trapped; the characters change from one male protagonist to two male and female protagonists, and then to one heroine; emotionally, from the sadness of the male protagonist, the audience has sadness Emotions, in the romantic story of two people falling in love, the audience has a happy mood, and then to the depressed mood of the audience when the heroine is caught, one movement and one stillness, one picture and one relaxation, the rhythm is perfect, overly natural and smooth, and it also makes the audience feel the difference between the male protagonist. With a deeper understanding of feelings, the audience can be brought into the film more deeply. It is a method that kills a thousand birds with one stone, and people can't help but praise.
There is also the string of crosses of the villain, which defeats the barbarians from the beginning to punishing women in the middle. The main escape, and finally the sneak attack in the final battle with Taishan on the ship, can be described as a stroke of genius. The sudden appearance of props that have not appeared for a long time makes people feel unexpected, but it is reasonable. Symbolizing the characters makes the audience deeply impressed
But the problem with this film is also obvious, that is, the performance level of the male and female protagonists obviously cannot keep up with the director's skills, and the male protagonist has a bitter face from beginning to end. It seems that the misfortune of childhood made the whole world owe him a hundred Wan's emotions, the heroine is slightly better, and can clearly give the correct expression, but it is only superficial and people can't see the deeper expression, of course, it may also be the male lead who is taking the show. The uncle is even more embarrassing. It was originally a matter of European colonization. The screenwriter insisted on a big American citizen to mix it up. There is not much communication, except for providing jokes, it seems very thin.
Moreover, the expression of the central idea of ​​the film is also slightly vague. In the end, I did not understand whether it was preaching that all men are created equal, defending the freedom of the Congo brothers, or expressing that human greed makes human beings inferior to beasts. No point. Things. After watching a story for a long time, there is no deeper thinking.
Speaking of this, the evaluation of this film is very clear, the skills are perfect, but the actors' performances and content ideas are very pale. However, it is aimed at Alexander It's worth it to hug the gorillas in the forest with all the tendons exposed, and go to the cinema to watch and drink soda.
