The director's black (degradation), and the difference from the previous work and the novel

On the afternoon of the weekend, I went to "Fifty Shades of Darkness" on a whim with a female friend. The poster abandons the erotic images, but instead looks like a suspense film with an atmosphere similar to "Black Swan". The heroine wears a silver mask with the capital NO MORE RULES printed on it. Tickets bought ten minutes before the screening, there were only three pairs of spectators including us in the hall that could seat 180 people, and everyone sat very openly.

The film tells the story of a domineering CEO who fell in love with silly Baitian and was saved by his soul. What makes him different is that this CEO has a SM complex because of the shadow of his childhood. The audience of the movie itself should be the female audience who want to YY, not the audience who want to watch the emotional story line seriously, nor the part of the male audience who want to be curious and watch pornographic films. In terms of serving the audience, the film is qualified, at least the overall viewing experience is smooth, the so-called plot is just right interspersed between several passionate scenes, the scene is still grand, and there are as many yachts, helicopters, luxury cars, flowers and diamond rings. The male protagonist is still strong, but the female protagonist's eyes and mouth have wrinkles when she smiles. When I think of watching the restrained interactions between actors and actresses in interviews, I feel a little funny for a while.

As an audience who has watched the previous "Fifty Shades of Grey" and browsed three novels, the overall feeling is that the director is becoming more and more simple and rude to highlight the "key points". Compared with "Fifty Shades of Grey", the plot lines that existed in the first film have been simplified again, and many beginnings and transitions are no longer needed. After explaining such a thing and then jumping directly to the result, the focus of the director's mind is only The action scenes of the two, as well as the male protagonist that some female audiences need to watch when they are lustful, show the scenes of local tyrants. Compared with the book, the character description is better than nothing. The former S hostess of the big BOSS male protagonist was originally a brilliant and imaginative character in the book. At least I am curious how the male protagonist was a M in front of her when he was young. Yes, in the description of the text, the unique haunted ghost that makes people feel uncomfortable as soon as she appears on the scene is not shown in the movie. He was splashed with alcohol by the female host and was directly kicked out of the house by the male host. The so-called enemy is too weak, and the fruits of victory are not so sweet.

Although the movie adds a visual experience of the male protagonist's childhood shadow being burned by his mother's boyfriend's cigarette butts at the beginning, the portrayal of the male protagonist is far less delicate than the novel. At least the book spends a lot of ink describing the seriousness of the male protagonist's psychological trauma. And the simplified description in the movie makes all kinds of non-touch and SM habits feel like a simple gimmick setting, just a reason to serve the action scenes. All kinds of domineering presidents fall in love with silly white sweet routines, which are similar to domestic TV dramas and Korean dramas. They can be called popular routines around the world. It doesn’t matter if the original lines are not fully understood. The protagonist knows the passion with just one look. With one look, the characters of "I am a villain" and "I am an assist" are written on their faces, and they follow the way they feel. They can always catch what is being played in the next scene, and they often smile.

To tell the truth, in fact, the male and female lead actors are good enough. Such a serious and sincere act of a love scene full of routines, he has repeatedly dedicated himself to the scenes everyone wants to see. Dissatisfied audiences might as well turn around and criticize the director. Why did both sides try not to do it well when they wanted to take into account the plot and action scenes.

Also, I'm probably one of the few viewers who are seriously talking about plot and characterization. . .
