[Movie] "Black Book": Tensions are breathtaking!

Gerard Soeteman (Gerard Soeteman) is so talented, this man is the first screenwriter of the film "The Black Book", one of Paul Van Hoeven’s important partners in the Dutch period, and his early important works "Under the Nazi Army" is also from him. After 30 years, the two Dutchmen finally joined forces again, and produced a spy film that is breathtaking and bloody, with a fast pace that is rare in similar themes of movies! This time, they are no longer bound to be loyal to the original ("Banner of the Nazi Army" is adapted from the novel). The only principle of plot weaving is to be as good-looking as possible and not vulgar, which closely revolves around "reflective war" and "Dutch complex." The usual styles of play, such as "Resistance Movement", etc., were completely set aside. The whole story focuses on writing a melodrama with strong dramatic tension and action. This is actually quite beautiful, exceptionally beautiful. Nazis, massacres, conspiracies, espionage, mutiny...all are the typical best-selling novels, completely returning to the most basic narrative tradition of the film, single-line narration, all relying on the sudden change of interlocking plots to conquer the audience, and The style of storytelling is a bit like "24" and "Prison Break". Good and evil are reversed step by step, and accidents happen one after another. In desperate situations, they can always turn back and forth. Looking at that is a pleasure. This is the best melodrama we can see through effective channels in the near future (after the Oscars)! no doubt.

Actress Carice van Houten performed very well, with a dedication to her pubic hair (in order to make her body more like a white woman, she must dye her lower body golden before entering the German army headquarters, and Paul Van Hoven is happy to describe this in detail) , Who can Chinese people? At the end, she received news of the death of Mu Cai, a SS officer who was both a lover and an enemy. She trembled all over her body and burst into tears... It is difficult for us to see such a performance on the screen-a good performance can convey the character. Pain, despair, and fear, but there are very few performances that can have all three at the same time. In addition, she sang very well, and her voice was so charming, it was so beautiful that she was very soul-stirring. In 2006, I am afraid that only Penelope Cruz sang in the small restaurant in "Return".

The 2006 world movie is really enjoyable. I recently checked the gaps and found out that "Letters from Iwo Jima," "Glory Years" and "Black Book" are all wonderful and happy! It makes people want to jump into the street and eat meat!

Unfortunately, "Black Book" did not receive any official encouragement or praise after all. The Cannes Film Festival was indifferent to it, and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film was not nominated at all, which seemed quite puzzling. Although "Black Book" is a typical popular drama and melodrama, it is not without artistic innovation value. It brings the film back to the most essential meaning of "storytelling", and it is itself "subversive". Paul Van Hoeven, a typical "wandering Dutchman", learned a good martial arts from Hollywood and returned to his home country to regroup, but he only won a good reputation, but who can be sure that this is not a new beginning for a great opera ? In 2008, Paul Van Hoeven’s "The Winter Queen" will be released again, and the screenwriter happens to be the talented Mr. Gerald Schuitman.
