Pleasure is always concentrated, fleeting, and then gradually dying. The most interesting thing is the public opinion that takes advantage of the topic. They play an indispensable role in this uproar caused by the people enjoying the visual feast...
" Movies like "300" are destined to be gang fights, especially those critics who "defend the dignity of film art as their own duty". This is inevitable; however, there is a sharp contrast to this. The audience out of the IMAX theater, with their faces full of excitement, rushed to IMDB to give it a full score (what movie can score a full score?). But these two seemingly different attitudes are actually the same thing in their bones—the audience is destined to be swayed by pleasure, and this is undoubtedly, as it should be. Experts do need to be in various collective enthusiasm. Maintain a professional calm in front of me, but this time I was too calm.
From the perspective of film appreciation, if you don't go to the cinema, the audiovisual pleasure that "300" can bring is bound to be greatly reduced. Its so-called artistic value lies in its innovative experiment in film aesthetics, just like Frank Miller’s another adaptation of "Sin City", it belongs to the visual film, the most amazing part is the boldness of the film's sense of form. Exploration, and this advantage obviously covers all its natural shortcomings: empty themes, shallow tone, suspicious positions, bloody scenes, the story is basically no brain... But the audience spends money to buy tickets, after all, they are not watching "Citizens" Kane.
In the end, the flu-like enthusiasm of the audience will gradually fade, and the experts' attempts to "turn the tide" will be frozen into old paper by periodicals and newspapers. It is the political turmoil that took advantage of the opportunity, which not only fully reflects Iran. The government has the wit to grasp the current situation, and it does not lack the courage to stand up against Great Americanism. Popular movies and popular politics have shown diametrically opposite trends and trends. Perhaps this is an irony? Today, the Iranian Ahmadinejad government and its staff in a delicate situation look like the 300 warriors in the historical legend who regard death as home. The reality is really a big joke.
"300" is different from Mel Gibson's "The Suffering", although it set off a hurricane of public opinion comparable to the latter, "300" has no substantive subversion, no matter in terms of ideology or the comprehensive value of the film. superior. Although due to the Iranian government’s unexpected protests, its topicality seems to have been extended beyond the film, but it does not actually have any revolutionary significance. In terms of entertainment alone, it basically cannot be compared with "The Matrix." Such avant-garde movies are on the same level, especially the plot, which is simply not worthy of scrutiny. That said, it does not mean that it is not a highly admirable movie. Its MTV-style pictures, its appalling styling, and even its sensational heavy metal soundtrack and incisive lines in Hellenistic quotations everywhere are full. In the face of the provocations and provocations aimed at the audience’s senses and emotions, you can’t be indifferent in the face of all this, but after the enthusiasm you basically get nothing, like eating a terrifying super refreshing spicy hot pot, satisfying your appetite, It was digested overnight. This is the exciting and boring part of most commercial movies. They are just consumer goods. They are very enjoyable when you eat them, but you still want to eat them after you eat them.
However, such a film is still worthy of vigilance (but not a sarcasm). It does not actually mean the improvement of the quality of modern films. On the contrary, it represents a certain dangerous tendency of commercial films, that is, the form is greater than the content, and huge returns can be obtained. , And the great decline in artistic quality can be ignored? What's more, it strongly advocates the aesthetic orientation of violence, or calmly killing prisoners of war and so on. How to see it is inseparable from the fascist aesthetics of the film. But here, this is no longer over-explained.
