I'm about the Nth person to be drawn to this movie by Johnny Depp. . .
As a thriller, the atmosphere rendered in the movie should be said to be quite in place. The visual impact full of blood and killing made me dare not look at the screen several times (shame~). The image of the inspector who appears as the first male protagonist and the first positive image is always immersed in confusion and decadence, which fits Johnny's temperament very well (if the inspector played by Johnny is a sunny, passionate and righteous young man, I'm afraid I'm going to faint~||||).
However, I always feel that it is not enough. As a full movie, there are always insufficient places, such as the Freemasonry that appeared in the middle of the middle (maybe because I don’t know enough about Freemasonry to feel a bit awkward), such as the famous "Masons" Elephone Man"'s plot insertion is unclear, such as the somewhat abrupt love between the hero and heroine, and the murderer who is suddenly revealed when the audience is not very clear about the clues they have... so that the process of watching this film , my temples have been hurting.
Medieval and even modern Europe has always been a dark and terrifying place for me, because it is a place bound by "religion" and "belief", where the spirit rules over everything, and the seeds of "spirit" are Deformed evil flowers often bloom in the cage of repression. Just like the murderer in the film, his murder was just to perform a "solemn" ceremony, and his spiritual "sense of justice" just makes normal human beings horrified...
After
thinking about the whole film, the most impressive thing is In addition to Johnny Depp's steady performance, there is a faint pain in the temple (...). And then there's that mysterious recipe for absinthe -- dark green liquid, blue flame, a few drops of opium stare. . . And the countless nightmares given to Johnny by this deadly formula...
(PS: At first I thought Johnny was the murderer... I'm a little disappointed~~||||)
