In fact, the "Snowman" is a bit unexpected, directed by Alfredson, the original book by Yu Nesbo, the uncle's pretending French shark, the beautiful and thrilling Rebecca Ferguson, and the charm still exists. Gansbo; Oslo with heavy snow, a murderous murder, and a childhood tragedy buried under the ice. But who would have thought that such a strong lineup has brought such a movie that is not good or even bad. Who can be satisfied with this situation now?
Regardless of the strength of its adaptation (the author has not read the original) and the content that has been deleted, the movie itself is actually viewable, but its low degree of completion makes the movie appear to be a well-packaged cheap fruit. Its low degree of completion also reduces the integrity of the film. Putting aside the plot, in some respects, "Snowman" is still remarkable, but the flaws in front of us can only be unsatisfactory.
————Alfredson’s visual style continues————
As a Swedish director, Alfredson's visual style is relatively cool, which is reflected in both "Do Not Disturb the Alive" or "The Potter, Tailor, Soldier, and Spy". In the way of expressing the big environment and rendering the atmosphere, Afer is a bit like another European director and my favorite director, Dennis Villeneuve, who basically expresses the panorama of distance and the relationship between characters and the environment. Close-up shots, slow motion shots to express the tone of the environment, and the tone of the picture corresponding to the atmosphere. These techniques all reflect the director's shaping of a cold environment, portraying a sense of alienation between the character and the environment.
Let’s compare it in "The Pot Master"
The cold winter swimming and the murderous streets in "The Potter, Tailor, Soldier, and Spy", the gray tone of the picture reflects the shadow of the Cold War on European society, and the indifferent distance from Uncle GO and the surrounding environment, that is, the boss is dead and the gopher is lurking. , Yuanchang is at stake. There is no too much dialogue, only Affle’s slow mirroring and sad soundtrack. A few strokes outline the tension and helpless situation.
Also in "Snowman", Afu still continues this visual style, which is where I think the movie can be seen. In Sweden, where there is heavy snow, the visual keynote chosen for the picture is simple white. Basically, no other colors are used to fill the picture. The snow becomes both the background and the color filling of the picture. First of all, an icy environment is determined. Using the bottle and Harry Hubble who is drunk on the street to show the protagonist's sense of alienation from the environment, the shaping of the character is undoubtedly three-dimensional, and it also makes the relationship between the character and the environment closer.
The second is the camera movement. I really like the horizontal movement of Fasha under her window after sending her ex-girlfriend home. The upper part of the composition is the window of his girlfriend's house, where you can see the scene at home; the lower part is the lonely Harry Hubble, who is walking with her, and the upper and lower parts of the composition form a clear contrast between warm and cold tones, which is similar to the situation of the two. Very close. When the camera moves horizontally, the different performances of the characters also portray the image of the two people, which is very meaningful.
But at the same time there are problems. I like the slow-fire and stewed style of Alfredson and Villeneuve very much, and this method continues to slowly accumulate the tension of the story. But it is not difficult to see that Alfredson is actually playing the same set compared to "The Potsmith". Regardless of the narrative or narrative style, the two films rely on the distinctive visual style and the tightened narrative rhythm in the mid-term and late-stage, and even the incidents of the narrative are similar! The celebration and the gag of those people back then. That is to say, while classmate Afu continued to carry on his essence, he failed to make him blossom and reach a higher level. He failed to bring more things this year. Suddenly realized that this is actually not Villeneuve's problem? (At any rate, Villeneuve grinds Lao Lei’s literary cyberpunk into his own thing, and hands it to his knees)
—————If I were a lunatic, would you love me—————
Would you love me if I were a lunatic? will you Love Me? will you Love Me?
Sorry, no love! do not love!
It is said that almost one-third of the chapters have been deleted from the film; I don’t know the details, but as far as it is concerned, the explanation of the suspect’s motives is still insufficient, and the emotional line is intermittent and the climax is insufficient. All the audiences take off their pants. After I came down, I put it down, and I told you, um, if you took off your pants, just watch this.
Forehead.......
It's really fun!
The first half of the film actually basically completes what a suspense film should do. Whether it’s the suspect’s technique or the routine suspect’s misleading method, the first half is basically a detective plus a little bit of deliberate characterization, but one A little bit of deliberate characterization makes the rhythm of the movie very out of touch. In fact, it stands to reason that the normal characterization in the process of investigating can better integrate the audience into the protagonist’s perspective, but the investigation of the case shown in the film appears to be “slow”. For the protagonist, this case is not his ultimate goal. In other words, it took too long for the intro to enter the case, which made the subsequent characterization appear artificial and slowed down the rhythm. And as a detective film, the movie didn't hide his murderer very well, so it was so special that he was allowed to go to Fasha's house to go for a fun. It's awesome. . . . Such a fake lunatic does not love or love.
In fact, the attraction of this movie to the audience is clearly shown in the trailer. What the audience wants to see is nothing more than a few points. One is the murder case, the other is the adaptation of the original work, and the third is the cast of the cast. Of course- —The most important thing is the excitement when cracking the truth. Then let's take a look at how much this movie has done. The murder case is very curious, the cast's lineup is mediocre, and the original adaptation is frustrated. So what I want to say is that due to the low reliance on the adaptation of the original, the original value of the story was wasted, coupled with the director’s mistakes in rhythm processing, and the facial makeup and characterless performances; resulting in good looks and bad lining. As a result; and at the time of the climax, the story failed to make the story more colorful, allowing the image of the villain to flow on the surface, and the climax war ended inexplicably, further making it a mediocre and even a failed work. In this way, the director's personal style alone cannot be remedied.
For these issues, there is an original work of excellent quality in "The Pot Crafter". Isn't "Snowman" a good quality novel? Yes, I have! How did you change it to look like this? My hen, I have to ask Global about this. It seems that the novel adaptations of big companies are like this. Isn't it, "The Dark Tower"? Ah, the clown did not call you, you continue to count the money.
Therefore, the star lineup and the element of curiosity have become the things that this low-quality movie pushes to the eyes, trying to block the ugliness of the movie. I think I am undoubtedly sorry to everyone like this, and reminds us again that a good type of film really needs a strong story and preparation cycle.
I have always felt that the movie is like the daughter-in-law meets the mother-in-law. After the filming, she is going to meet, or just break up and not see her mother-in-law. But whether a movie is an ugly daughter-in-law is determined by the creator and investment. The patience of the film and the absolute enthusiasm of the creator can make a beautiful daughter-in-law as beautiful as an immortal, and then put on makeup, the immortal descends to the earth. But with an eagerly pressing and perfunctory attitude, how can an ugly daughter-in-law be recognized by her mother-in-law, no matter how superb makeup skills?
