The powerful narrative skills of the theme value theme

Audiences with a slight sense of discovery can see that this is an American theme film that runs through the concept of value input. In the windy East Berlin interface, in the hand-to-hand negotiation room, and on the bridge of bleak wind and rain, when Tom Hanks played the New York lawyer James Donovan calmly dealt with the mission of fulfilling the mission, representing the constitutional lawyer The image of national citizens and lonely heroes is admired and praised. The film has also completed the value transfer of the persistence of the individual to the law and the persistence of the rights of human nature.
So for film practitioners, in fact, the most important thing to learn is how to express a slightly blunt value with a strong background of the times in a reasonable, vivid and appropriate manner, and enter the hearts of the audience. This is the most obvious aspect of the film. The place is also what Chinese film needs to learn and ponder the most on its way forward.
For example, we can see Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance), a Soviet intelligence agent, perform extremely well, and he has won multiple titles of best supporting actor. We don’t know whether the real spy is so full of artistic talent and mastery in painting, but in the play, through the depiction of painting techniques, this character is full of three-dimensionality and attraction. Mark Rylance is very powerful in controlling the details. Facing the detective who came to arrest him, he kept the old man's cowering and cowardice, dull and dull. But when James cracked down on his mind, he realized that this lawyer would really try to defend him out of morals. The same posture and a few extremely subtle expression changes showed his deep insight into the current situation. , The deep aura of a senior spy permeated.
James Donovan’s own modeling is equally complete and blameless. He used to be a lawyer who was reluctant to talk because of business interests; he was a good husband and father in front of his family, protecting the feelings of his family as much as possible, and withstanding the wind and rain from the outside; when he came to Berlin alone, he was so determined , Calm and depressed.
The scene of the dialogue between James and the Soviet ambassador was very clever. Two scheming negotiators sat opposite each other. The camera was used to explain in the middle of the scene, and then the close-ups were used to face the speakers one by one, each retaining its own cards and testing the boundaries of the other. People are very addicted to it.
After all, Spielberg once again used his best film language to describe the environment, the color of the picture, the tense atmosphere, and the contradictions and hostility. It was lifelike and hit people's hearts directly, and once again completed the humanistic care and successful interpretation of historical events. It is hoped that Chinese films can also achieve such narrative skills in the themes conveyed by the theme value.

    James Donovan: And I remind you of him?

    Rudolf Abel: This one time, I was at the age of your son, our house was overrun by partisan border guards. Dozens of them. My father was beaten, my mother was beaten, and this man, my father's friend, he was beaten. And I watched this man. Every time they hit him, he stood back up again. So they hit him harder. Still he got back to his feet. I think because of this they stopped the beating. They let him live. "Stoit i muzhik," I remember them saying... "stoit i muzhik." Which sort of means like uh, 'standing man'. Standing man...
