This movie is so interesting, whether it is the technique of the movie or the discussion of the thinking derived from the story, it is full of wit. Count down a few interesting points scatteredly, as a record of the movie.
1. Akira Kurosawa's movies are completely different from Ozu Yasujiro. Ozu's movies cannot be reproduced by Westerners. They are entirely Japanese stories and Japanese emotions. The stories and characters in this "Heaven and Hell" are all very westernized. If Hollywood remakes, it is estimated that there will be no trace of Japan.
The first half is a Shakespearean drama, where contradictions erupt in one room overnight, pushing the protagonist into a difficult human choice, and at the same time burying the audience with great suspense and curiosity.
The second half is a detective drama. In the process of police meetings and separate investigations, there is no sense of the Japanese workplace hierarchy. Although I don’t understand Japanese, I suspect that I don’t use honorifics much. It’s like a Western movie. of.
2. Akira Kurosawa is a real cow. Not only did the directors later learn from him, but even the financial crocodile drew inspiration from Akira Kurosawa.
At the beginning of the equity struggle between the top executives of the national footwear industry, Porsche's 2007 acquisition of Volkswagen's squeeze play was simply learned from this. The male sovereign vine quietly acquired 15% of the shares in three years. On the day of the incident, he secretly negotiated the acquisition of 19% of the shares, realizing a reverse holding in one fell swoop. Porsche also used options to subscribe without public announcement, and quietly acquired 31.5% of Volkswagen stock options to achieve a controlling stake. It seems that Kurosawa Minto dream told the head of Porsche: "You have to quietly acquire Volkswagen shares, and then surprise everyone."
3. It was too hasty that the male sovereign vine entrusted the trade of his wealth to his deputy Hexi. The lesson that the final price was leaked on the eve of a major transaction led to a transaction failure. As an entrepreneur, you must understand that such a transaction must be signed and paid in person, and as long as the transaction has not been completed, your complete plan and negotiated price must be hidden in your heart.
For the operation in the real business battle, you can refer to the practice of Disney and Comcast competing for the acquisition of Fox in the book "The Journey of a Life":
"Two days before the Fox Board of Directors scheduled a voting meeting for Comcast, we flew to London with Alan, Kevin, Christine, and Nancy Lee. I made sure to only disclose our bid to the team. A handful of people in and warned everyone to strictly observe the information. Regarding the plan to raise the bid, we did not want Comcast to be aware of it. We booked a room under a pseudonym in a hotel in London that we had never stayed in. I don’t know if the news is accurate. Someone once told me that Comcast sometimes tracks the itinerary of a competitor’s private jet, so instead of flying to London, we first arrived in Belfast and then chartered another plane there. Airplane, to London not far away."
4. Shakespearean difficult choice faced by the male protagonist: Give up the transaction to save others or die? Interest or soul? The first time I thought of it, there were always more solutions than problems, and I should never let myself fall into a situation where there were no options. I wonder if the male protagonist, as an entrepreneur, didn't expect to complete the transaction first, and then borrow 30 million through equity pledge? Although if the police cannot solve the case, the pledged equity will be lost, but at least gaining time and opportunity is better than giving up the transaction.
Let’s do the calculations. The male protagonist 50 million and Osaka Zhisheng acquired 19%, so the consideration of 30 million is almost 11.4% of the equity. He originally held 13%, which can be given to banks or even companies outside the circle. The home or investor does pledge lending. This is just one of the methods, in fact, there are other ways to buy time.
Of course, for audiences who are not familiar with the operation of capital, the male lead has been driven to a dead end by the screenwriter, and that is enough.
5. In Kurosawa Akira's movies, you can always see the imitation and tribute of future directors. For example, the two children in the protagonist’s family imitated the Indians hide and seek the bridge, which can also be seen in "Parasite"; the police searched the headquarters for a meeting and reported separately, "The South Station Party" smiled knowingly, and the imitation was not bad; The meeting at the detention center at the end of the film, the reflection in the mirror, too many to give examples, has become a regular target of imitation by future directors.
6. The composition and movement of the lens are beyond words. Almost every lens is carefully arranged. Record two at hand.
One is that after the protagonist decides to pay the ransom, the two policemen are silent in the foreground. The two policemen count the money in the middle scene and discuss the serial number. The protagonist sits alone in the shadow of the distant scene. The mood is portrayed with pictures.
The other is the police team responsible for analyzing the phone recordings of the kidnappers. At the beginning, the screen is divided into upper and lower halves. The upper half of the team members are covered by a decorative fence. You can vaguely see that everyone is very anxious, and you can see the lower half. Two pieces of leftover watermelon rinds and the feet of the team members on the table. When one of them heard the sound of the tram from the recording, as everyone got up and approached, the camera moved down from the half-covered position of the fence to the clear panorama. Think about it carefully, other than that, there seems to be no better way to express the "suddenly clear" state of the recording analysis team.
7. The two protagonists in the film are very complicated and reasonable, and the meeting at the detention center at the end is moving.
After experiencing bankruptcy, Capital Home regained hope and enthusiasm, and continued to apply for an executive in another shoe company to continue pursuing his career aspirations. This embarrassed the interns, self-esteem and low self-esteem are intertwined.
8. The last remaining question is that the villain's trainee went to the drug street to kill a drug addict. He tested that three times the purity of the drug can kill the week, why bother to kill the two drug addicts? It should be logically inferred that the information that the two drug addicts are still alive is a smoke bomb deliberately set by the police, right?
