As a standard post-modern expert, Gerich fell into a drowsy creative state due to his love affair with Madonna after the carnival of "Two Smoking Guns" and "Stealing". Therefore, When the last part of his black crime trilogy "Revolver" was released in 2005, countless fans were eager to see Rich's rise, but after the first round of screenings ended, fans found that the previous complex and interesting The black story is gone, replaced by a dumbfounding psychological analysis of the entangled plot, and because of the story about the split personality, contact and discussion with "Fight Club", the same is true below, here to explain the views of the family.
In fact, the perspective of "Fight Club" is aimed at the state of existence of the entire society, borrowing the crazy behavior triggered by the mental illness of a small person to reflect the anxiety and mania of the entire society at the end of the century. Edward Norton and Brad Pitt together constitute a typical modern person with coexistence of rationality and irrationality. This double-sided analysis of dual personality is black and full of fun, and David Fincher uses the suspenseful traction that he is good at The way of telling to express the plot makes "Fight Club" an excellent masterpiece both in terms of viewing and ideological, and the dark and hard feelings of the Finci movies have also given the whole movie a cool style. , Coupled with the accurate grasp of the roles of the two acting sportsmen, the film hardly has any quality flaws. At the same time, Finch also adopted the imaging technique of interacting with the audience. Pete, who exists in Norton's mind, appeared many times in one frame throughout the film, symbolizing the awakening of Norton's hidden personality and the inner commotion, and Pete After officially appearing and participating in the narrative, there is also a hobby of adding a frame of pornography to the cartoon, and there is a frame of male genitalia at the end of the film. This elaborate and fancy setting in film creation not only allows the audience to keep a firm eye on the screen, but also increases and deepens the film’s information carrying and multi-angle ideological extension, making the film itself more worthy of chewing aftertaste.
Although the "Revolver" that Gallic returns to the black crime comedy is also about the split personality (in a sense, the latent personality of this film is more complicated than that of "Fight Club", from dual personality to triple personality) , But the focus of the story is only on the gang fights of the gangsters. Although this fits the theme of the story that Gerich is good at, but compared with the height of "Fight Club" for social reflection, the concept of the film is a bit small. The beginning of the film has the same pattern as Gary's previous classics: diverse characters, diverse clues, and rock-like lens language, but as the plot progresses, the audience will find that Gary has not cared much about these. He has temporarily lost interest in telling simple, complex and humorous crime stories, which is an improvement for him, but he abandoned the audience too suddenly, and the audience has not yet accepted his transformation. Moreover, Gary, who is willing to show the beauty of pure plot form, is obviously not as good at expressing the inner activities of characters as David Fincher, who has been immersed in psychological thrillers for a long time. The still cool lens reveals that he hopes to show the lack of character psychology. To make up, in fact, it is a mistake to choose Jason Statham, who does not have much acting skills, to be the leader. David Fincher exquisitely pushes the story to a climax through layers of character behavior and thought trends that are in line with the film’s tone and various metaphorical dark fields, while Gerich still uses MVs that are good at making the film’s surface glamorous. High-speed photography is used to express the deep inside of the film, and the grasp of details is also chaotic and rough due to the fast lens switching. The result is that the first half of the film’s simple spreading plot looks like a fish in the water, while the second half of the deep exploration changes. It’s hard to resist, making audiences and creators very difficult to understand and control the film. This is clearly reflected in the forced interpretation of the suspicion in the second half of the film, and most of the large sections seem to be precise and sophisticated. In fact, I don't know that the so-called inner monologues and entangled behaviors of characters seem to force the audience to understand the intention of the film itself. This lack of excessive film rhythm will make viewers very uncomfortable.
It can be said that "Revolver" actually has a story that is as exciting as "Fight Club". Gairich is still as talented as David Fincher, but Rich's too hasty exploration and his previous creative style for insurance Excessive retention has led to a lower grade in "Revolver". Fortunately, after Gary has achieved a balance between the two, whether it is the "Rock Gangster" that he is good at or the mainstream commercial masterpiece "Detective Sherlock Holmes" The novel personal style and the joyful color that is still interesting are photographed.
