I haven’t read the original work in its entirety, but I also know a general idea about this familiar story. The texts and the teacher’s analysis of the Chinese language documents in the middle school years, and the professor’s explanations of the legal concepts and thoughts during the university years have been (probably) more comprehensive. Through the film to understand this masterpiece, each stage has a different thought impact. But here are just a few personal opinions from the movie itself.
1. Many people say that the characters in the film are full of words and tedious and hypocritical, but personally feel that the original work of this film is a Shakespearean-style medieval drama. I don’t know if people talked like this in their lives at the time, but at least it’s done. The drama lines after the stage are probably like this. You don’t see that the words of the characters in "Romeo and Juliet" are more complicated than this. Those words, metaphors and rhymes, it is more difficult to feel the taste of this when you read the translation in Chinese, just like foreign countries. When people look at the translation of the past Tang poems and Song ci, the meaning and taste are lost. Of course, I didn't say that I like this way of speaking. Sometimes when I watch "Luo" I will shudder at some of the dialogue, but for the film itself that is loyal to the original, there is nothing to criticize.
2. I watched this film first for Al Pacino, from Godfather to Devil's Advocate, his acting skills are worth applauding for him, and his performance in the film is even more speechless, the Jews' resentment and resentment after being humiliated , The slickness of being a loan shark seducing loans, the pain of losing his daughter as a father, the desire for only money as a Jew who cannot have fixed assets and social status, and the discomfort and loneliness of being forced to abandon his religion. Incisively and vividly. People say that Sherlock is cruel and ruthless, but how can I only feel pity and sympathy for this elderly man who has suffered unfair and inhuman treatment all his life, and feel a bit of viciousness and sympathy for the seemingly benevolent Antonio who deprives others of their religious beliefs and spiritual support? Deeper revenge.
3. Therefore, in contrast to him, whether it is Joseph Fiennes who plays Bassanio, Lynn Collins who plays Miss Portia, or Jeremy Irons who plays Antonio, they all lose a lot of color. It seems that Bassanio is only a fool who can only spend money on girls and a passion, Portia is only a spring-hearted but suspicious and jealous eldest lady, and Antonio...
4. And O'Donnell... (Shakespeare, please forgive me for my rudeness) How do I think he is an X... It seems that he loves Bassanio so much that he will not hesitate to abandon his noble dignity to beg the humble and mean The Jew borrowed money, even if he was looking for another woman, but for the happiness of his beloved, Antonio even gave up his life without complaining. He just wanted to see his deep love again before he died but he couldn’t confess. The Bassanio side. You didn’t see the deep affection in his eyes when he looked at Bassanio, you didn’t see him when Barcelona told him in court, "Your life is more precious than mine, my wife, and the whole world." Momentum moved and generous courage to die, you did not see the pain and tears of him watching Bassanio flirting with Portia, and finally when Barcelona and Portia went to the room XX, the lonely and lonely figure of Antonio in the lens was in the morning light. It’s so heartbreaking... No one understands him. Everyone praises him for his noble character. He can be a friend, but who knows the inner struggle and depression of a middle-aged and unmarried man living in the civilized city-state of Venice. ......
5. Well, the fourth point is that you don’t like to watch it... >____<
6. If you want to summarize, put aside the righteousness and the law, this story is only a pitiful under the shadow of medieval Venetian religion The old man is involved in the tragic story of the love and hatred of two men and one woman and was eventually defeated and ignored.
7. YY is over.
