Recently watched The Coen Brothers' Blood Maze, Murder Green Toe, and burnt after reading it.
I think it's all pretty good.
For Blood Maze, if someone asks you what is the most important thing about a movie, of course, many factors.
It turns out that the high school Chinese teacher asked me what is the most important thing in the novel. The students talked about the plot, and I talked about the characters, because I had just watched Dragon Spear at the time, and I was obsessed with Raislin, and the teacher also said that it was the characters.
Now I can understand that, in fact, there is nothing special about the two things, which is more important, the characters and the plot, one can be more prominent, or the other can be more prominent, this is a very random thing.
But no matter which one is more prominent, one thing remains the same. For novels, it is language and narrative.
No matter how good the story is, you can't tell it in the occasion of the leader's speech.
Narrative is important, and language is of course a prerequisite.
For movies, the atmosphere comes first. The professional point may be the language of film. A murder story needs to have the appearance of a murder story, a Hollywood blockbuster needs to invest in Hollywood blockbusters, and a literary film needs an actress with literary and artistic temperament.
The Coen brothers are well-versed in this, so they came to film this murder story.
The question is, money is spent, time is rammed here, and the result of making a movie by yourself is very uncomfortable, why? Because they already understand these things better than anyone else. Want to take out some Nietzschean spirit to surpass yourself?
That's where the murder of the green toe comes out, and the burning after reading.
It can be said to be a kind of postmodern parody and irony.
It's a kind of play. It's just that the house is a million-dollar mansion, the kissing is real, the sex scene is real, everything is real, only people are fake, and feelings are fake.
It was almost what the Coen brothers did to film Xiao Ming's exam cheating in a spy war movie, and to film Xiao Ming and Xiaohong's fight with a Hollywood action movie.
It's just that their stories may be more characteristic and a little more complicated.
Hey, I'm already crazy about Zhang Yimou. Without that Three Guns, Blood Maze would definitely be good. Now when I watch Blood Maze, all three shots are in my mind, it's hot.
But where does the innovation that the Coen brothers yearn for and the tedious end to tire of? do not know.
Picasso didn't innovate how to get along while lying in bed, he innovated while painting. This is art.
