Not a very pleasant visual experience. Let’s look for a book, even the author doesn’t want to make a movie

Five stars for the plot, three stars for the director and young actors, one star for the scene props

I know the origin of this movie is a fantasy playlist of NetEase Cloud

It contains a piece of music that says a series of unfortunate events.

Harry Potter-esque mystery with a touch of weirdness and weirdness

I didn’t hesitate to download it without even watching the plot.

But... when I put the instant noodles beside me excitedly preparing to meet the impact, I was beaten by it frame by frame.

Nonsense and even bad movies. The beginning of the visual sense made me want to give up. I used the black question mark: I suspect that the reason why this movie has never been heard is probably a bad movie? ? ?

But I told myself: It’s okay to watch it and give it a chance. Anyway, I only released this one.

What makes me uninterested is the unclear atmosphere, the almost black-and-white tone but the unbalanced emotional color, the unimpressive scene props, and the plain shooting technique.

Next, I am a little interested in watching it. The novel plot still attracted me. This is not a clichéd children's plot-I tried to translate the picture into words-although only a few words. This movie is marked with a fantasy sign, but I can only read it in the plot based on my imagination.

Regarding the plot loopholes: the first half of the film is a bit lengthy, so that I do not understand the theme I want to express-I once had three thoughts: this is a story about three children being adopted by many strange families, this is the second one The story of the guardian protecting three children against the first guardian, and the third idea is finally almost right. Moreover, the misfortune of the other two members of the club that the protagonist’s parents belong to is only because they have become the protagonist’s new guardians, and the telescope, which is the same as the protagonist’s parents, is an important prop. The climax seems to be a bit short-lived, and it doesn't make the audience addicted to it. And the bugs in some small details are also my doubts. When I have the opportunity to read the book and answer.

There are also adults who are always stupid in children's movies (this is not even a children's movie!) When the earl was caught, he said: You don't listen to the children, you are complicit. This is what I want to call after watching the whole movie. If you can be stupid, this movie might be able to play for another hour.

Such a plot can only be attractive in books, or it can be made into an animation to better embody the word fantasy. The scenes that cannot keep up with the imagination may be the failure of this show. But from an optimistic point of view, the tone of the play does reflect the "reminder" at the beginning-dark and full of misfortune. But it seems that even this aspect has not performed very well. I feel that this director has only taken one foot to create the atmosphere he wants to express, and there are a hundred steps ahead; or he doesn't know what kind of atmosphere is better.

About the actors. I don’t hesitate to have a second reason, it’s Jim Carrey and the Devil Meryl Streep. I have watched their movies before, so when I watched the introduction, I felt that this might be a good movie that was buried. First of all, Jim Carrey’s performance really made me panic. His comic action expressions are also applicable to bad guys, and are vivid, but his exaggeration still makes me uncomfortable; and the devil’s acting skills are seen by real estate agents. The expression accompanied by that scream is really amazing, and there is nothing less than it; next are three little actors, I can only say that they need to be strengthened, the little baby is cute, but she is too young to make her an "actor". If you can't integrate into the film, the play is like a Pampers commercial. As for the plot setting of the characters, I still think that the movie does not express the intention in the book-my sister is a king of ideas, and when she tied her hair with a ribbon, it was when she transformed. The director portrayed her as a semi-gothic loli, making me think she was a cruel, exceptionally talented child, but I was wrong, she was just an ordinary child, this movie is about It's just an ordinary story of fighting wits and courage-oh wrong, adults are not wise and brave.

Watching Tim Burton's movies I will be on the scene, but today, I am always trying to break free.

I won't repeat the rest, but I think if I need to remember in the future, I will definitely try to find a book instead of watching a movie.


Wait, I just searched Baidu Encyclopedia:

Tim Burton had hoped to direct the film and appointed Johnny Depp to play Count Olaf and Glenn Cross to play Aunt Josephine. Later, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp withdrew one after another. Brad Seberning, who took over, replaced Glenn Cross with Meryl Streep.

And, did Jude Law play Raymond Snitch? And Raymond Snitch in this title is the person who wrote about this unfortunate adventure, but such an adventure is really the experience of three completely unrelated children, and it has half a dime to him?
