formal point of view, this is a movie with a strong sense of drama. Marsius’s pre-war mobilization, speeches to the mob, and mother’s persuasion of Marsius all used a large number of brilliant and religious metaphors (mostly Shakespeare’s original works); Marshall and the second man were originally The fight also used the expression of ancient Roman ritual. My personal dialogue drama does not have a strong distinction between likes and dislikes, but I personally like the use of a large number of drama elements in this film. What the whole film tries to achieve is not reality, but a reflection on reality through the retrospect of history. At this time, the unique rendering power of dramatic expression will undoubtedly strengthen the intensity of incitement to the audience's emotions. Of course, some people complain about the use of Old English, and as far as I can understand, I think Yingying is still very popular.
Next, let's take a look at the director's way of reconstructing the story. Every change, even every interpretation, is a reconstruction of adding personal experience. Ralph chose to keep most of the plot, character settings and even details of the story, but simply and rudely changed the age of storytelling. Some people criticized this as a manifestation of its lack of directorial skills, but personally, I still quite like this approach. We have no shortage of movies that tell ancient themes through a well-designed modern shell. It can even be said that every story we tell now is another proof of history. And this film, through modern shapes, weapons, architecture, technology, and time and space abruptly carries a complete Roman story: the name of ancient Rome, the language of ancient Rome, the rituals of ancient Rome, the politics of ancient Rome, and even It is the values of ancient Rome. But to my surprise, I didn't feel unable to blend in because of this. On the contrary, the more familiar scenes allowed me to get into the whole plot better. At the same time, the film has a small design, and news reports will take on a large part of the role of promoting the plot. If the previous plot makes you feel as if you are back in Rome, then the appearance of various TV news should make you smile. .
Regardless of the format, the story still deserves our attention. There is no doubt that this is a quite political movie, perhaps because it took place in the Roman period, this political expression even has some philosophical flavor. There are three obvious groups of political contradictions in the film, Rome and Firth, Archon and Mob, Marsius and Guardian, so the focus of the story can also be seen as an interpretation of different choices. The guardians chose to instigate and instigate in order to protect their own political interests. The people who were incited chose to express and exile meaningless emotions without any promise. Marsius chose the battlefield, fortitude, confrontation, and departure. , Betrayal and death. This is the part of the story description, and there are other choices that are not described. People’s choice of political system, country’s choice of heroes, mother’s choice of son’s will, and historical undifferentiated choices... The
movie only completes the work of narration. But there is no answer to the question. Maybe politicians and heroes really can’t have both; maybe mob politics is more brutal than elite politics; maybe in the game with politicians, civilians are always just a means to an end...Who knows, politics is always Something unspeakable. Teacher Dai often said: "What matters is not the time when the story is told, but the time when the story is told." This sentence is really easy to understand in this film, whether it is Shakespeare, Ralph or Other narrators who choose to tell this story must only tell you this kind of history; similarly, the audience chooses to watch these adaptations over and over again, and it must not be for the plot of the story itself. If you are still obsessed with the storyline, then you might as well think about the handling of news reports that you seem to know before, or about the results of the recent elections? Anyway, I don't have an answer, because politics is always something that cannot be said.
