Delicate and sentimental, suitable for a patient audience-"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" in the movie theater is almost finished. Although the dark theater is quiet, there will still be a cough or sigh from time to time, and some people will whisper, "Should it be over?" , Dumbledore, the principal of Hogwarts who has been with us for six years, has just been killed by the poison "Alfonso".
Before entering the movie theater, I already knew that after watching "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", many people felt that this episode was not exciting. It was just a transition. Of course, this is the opinion of someone who has some knowledge of the original. More people use a very simple "not good-looking!" to summarize this movie that fans have been waiting for for years. Yes, the speed of the modern world is as fast as the speed of electricity. Most people have become accustomed to putting a negative label on something before fully understanding it. After all, there are so many choices now. "What's going on in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"? There is no big scene at all. Even Quidditch games are played in the cold winter!" Audiences who say this can choose to watch "Transformers 2" from the beginning to the end. There are big scenes at the end, and true fans will definitely be moved by the low-key sadness of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince".
Some people complained that "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" could not be read, but those who complained should not understand: Before watching "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", you should at least watch the first five episodes of the movie, right? Of course, if you can spare a little more time to play online games and read the wonderful original novels, you should be able to get more fun from the movie. The positioning of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is very clear: at least you have to watch the first five episodes, because the tight schedule of this film is impossible to repeatedly mention the plots mentioned in the previous movies. Although the first few movies were seen when they were released that year, before the release of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" this time, my wife and I reviewed the first five movies one by one, complaining about classmates who could not understand. , Switch to watching "Transformers".
Some people say that the story of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is very dull, the whole story and the environment are shrouded in a gray atmosphere. This is actually the biggest feature of Harry Potter's sixth original novel. Without the gloom of this movie, how could the light of the final ending be so touching? In fact, we should admire the director and producer of this episode for being able to copy the original setting completely without hesitating to sacrifice a part of the audience who will complain. If it was made in China, it would have been changed beyond recognition. (Does anyone remember that Lin Zexu in the domestic martial arts film was also a master of martial arts?) For fans, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is not dull at all. Instead, the film is full of details that can be discovered. For example, when Dumbledore went to the orphanage to pick up the young Voldemort Tom Riddle, there were seven stones on Tom's window. Voldemort's preference for seven can be seen from this lens. Hermione hid in the corner of the stairs and wept because of Ron’s disagreement. Harry, who persuaded her, also fell into a bitter love for Ginny. As soon as the camera turned, Ron was making love to the girl on the stairs of the tower and was burdened. Malfoy, who was on the mission of Voldemort to kill the master, was meditating alone in the distant tower. A shot of more than twenty seconds perfectly shows the complex emotions of several protagonists. Can you say that such a shot is "boring"?
For Hollywood blockbusters, our attitude is like eating a restaurant. This dish is weak, this soup is salty, and that dish is done well, but we completely forgot its taste a week later. But movies like "Harry Potter" shouldn’t be a dish in a restaurant. It’s like vegetables grown in our own house. From seeds germinate, bloom, bear fruit, mature, cook, and serve. Short, but all worthy of aftertaste. I saw the work photos of the three protagonists in the first "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" on the Internet. They are all cute as kittens, making people sigh of the power of time. Harry and his friends are growing, so why are we not? If we can calm down and experience our own growth, maybe we can be more patient with the delicate and sad "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince".


PS I hope that friends who go to watch "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" can review the previous movies before. If you can read the original novel, it would be better. The original work written by Rowling will never disappoint you.
