If the movie is a dish, Red Dragon is a pot of superb seafood hodgepodge without a stew. Eat it alone, each ingredient is excellent, but when mixed together, there is always a lack of flavor, which is not the case. Hollywood has never lacked horror movies with good themes. The director of this movie is very ambitious and wants to make things happen. From the results, "Red Dragon" obviously wants to build with the enjoyment of "Silent Lamb" A classic feature film that takes into account both commercial and literary features. The images and themes are very rich: bloody flesh and blood, eyeless corpses, juvenile trauma, sexual psychological distortions, psychopaths, etc., of course, there is no shortage of topics, naturally wearing "The Silent The hat of the prequel to "Lamb", Hannibal, who is still cannibalistic, etc., not to mention the acting skills. Anthony Hopkins, Edward Norton, Ralph Fiennes, etc. can each be picked up separately as a movie carrier. The people of the tripod, under such a favorable time and place, the red dragon wanted to carry the three major golden actors in Hollywood, the flying dragon, but finally landed in the minefield, Kang Long regrets it!
At the beginning of the movie, Hannibal’s prestige was used to create a psychologist who is not a dedicated and perverted psychologist without cannibalism. The director neither clarified why Hannibal cannibalism nor described his uncle’s state after cannibalism, just because Playing the wrong tune at the concert and being eaten up is really not a convincing perversion. It only shows that Uncle Ba may be just an originally kind and severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. When I was ready to face a black comedy, I never expected that the police officer played by Norton began to doubt a psychologist with a must-have cooking recipe at home. Of course Hannibal Nor is it a cautious lamp. As soon as Norton picked up the recipe, he started attacking Norton’s back indiscriminately. That’s right, he just changed the elegance and rationality of the lambs, and his heinous calmness was also lost. After being out of the sky, it was so bad, and he didn’t use his usual teeth. He just inserted...but it was wrong. As a result, Uncle Ba was locked in because of this failed and uncharacteristic sudden attack. The prison that made him infinitely compelling was successfully transformed into a babble. For the entire time now, he proudly turned his face up, staying in the private room with a toilet and poor ventilation, and proudly instructed him. The enemy completes his mission of catching bad guys. This is not a perversion, this is Living Lei Feng! The inadequate director must have breathed a sigh of relief at the moment when he quickly sent Uncle Ba to prison, and finally completed the task and shut one down first.
Norton, an outstanding police officer who was still young, began to send Hannibal into a barrel-like private room, but then became an aspiring buddhist young man who didn't like arms and repaired ships, and enjoyed the time when his wife and children were hot on the bed. He started his seaside career carefree. Uncle Nuo must have suffered a lot of trauma. The root of his Buddhism system is because of the man-eating demon whose teeth have been pulled out. The director took another breath, and finally exiled another one, but the movie story at this moment suddenly resolved all conflicts and contradictions. The barriers and the diversion of the stream are likely to be necessary within five minutes of the movie. At the critical moment of the final subtitles, in the anticipation of all the people, Uncle La, who bears the blood and deep feud, finally begins to kill. The audience grows a bite. It turns out that Uncle La is the protagonist, sitting in danger, and the drama begins.
Like Hollywood routines, perverted murderers like Uncle La must have perverted reasons, such as gays, sexual confusion, cross-dressing, young and old homes being invaded, wives cheating, children born without a mouth, etc. ; There must be totems, moths, masks, stockings, chainsaws, and even typewriters. It’s a pity that the director still feels that the film’s progress is too slow. Only through some innocent language fragments, he narrates the fact that Uncle La was abused since childhood. The half-length photo of the culprit was hung on the wall, and then he looked very kind. So Uncle La resolutely resisted the perverted role setting, and happily killed the two in the name of transformation, but until the end of the film, I did not see several key information points in the plot of Uncle La: red dragon, transformation What is the inevitable significance of tattoos and Chinese elements? In a word, there are several elements that seem to be distinctive and eye-catching, but they did not produce the necessary help to the development of the plot, and they blinded Uncle La's face in vain. But Uncle Ra’s crime saved three people. One was the traumatized policeman on the deserted island for a long time, the other was a horrible storyteller, and the other was a director who always felt bewildered behind the camera.
The drama really started. In fact, the case is not complicated. Maybe the director was to describe the metamorphosis of Uncle La in a more three-dimensional manner, and let Uncle La perform the metamorphosis too hard. As a result, the process of Uncle La's crime was extremely difficult. Rigorous, the characteristics of the crime are too clear, the criminal clues are full of loopholes, and the treatment of strangers is usually too arrogant and high-profile. When watching movies, I have always worried that Uncle La will not give Norton a precious opportunity to appear. If you are not careful, the case will be solved because of other clues. NS. When the director unfolded this part of the plot, he felt that it was just because the scene was too miserable and the killing scene could not bear to look directly at it. The FBI had to hire Uncle Nuo, and Uncle Nuo, who had originally vowed to die in the old fishing boat, was fooled because of a few words from others. , Out of the mountain. Uncle Nuo logically went to Hannibal for help, but because the director sent Hannibal to prison prematurely, the director could not reasonably establish a plot connection between Hannibal and Uncle Ra, so he adopted a rather funny one. In the same way, the well-known ogre devil Uncle Ba was in the prison to openly call the outside world to ask the address of Norton’s wife and children, and at the same time to inform Uncle Ra by publishing the address in the newspaper. During the period, the phone was not monitored and Hanni was forcibly Ba and Uncle La are paired together. At this moment, the blind girl with the most baggage (no way) appeared in the film. The director did not choose to let the blind girl and Uncle La have any convincing spiritual communication, just to make the audience feel that the blind girl is pulling Uncle’s important role in the transformation of his behavior is a certain fact. Uncle Ra can only have sex with a blind girl who is still sexy because of the lack of affection and the flesh. In the blind girl’s call for love without any convincing perfect foreshadowing, after only two cases, Uncle Ra was ready to wash his hands for the blind girl’s golden basin and withdraw from the pervert world (as a dead reporter, Uncle Ra can only It is forced to kill him), this kind of disrespectful behavior will surely be judged by professional ethics.
Uncle Nuo finally discovered Uncle La's true identity through several unconvincing information communications with Yuba, coupled with the exposure of Uncle La's death after committing the crime, and finally with his own extraordinary ability to analyze. The feeling of this episode is that Uncle Ra is trying every means to reveal his identity as much as possible to help the police solve the case, and the extent of his death is no less than an open placard asking for surrender at the police station. Of course, Uncle Nuo is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Uncle La was quickly found following the clues provided by Uncle La. So the two giants in the play finally met face-to-face at Norton’s home. After a relatively exciting gun battle, Uncle La Finally beaten to death (summarizing that his behavior is no different from suicide), Uncle Nuo took his wife and children back to the ship he dreamed of and continued his Buddhist career. On the other side, Uncle Ba is still standing there, proudly raising his neck, breathing the air in the private room with a smile, enjoying the supreme honor brought to him by the name of a cannibal high IQ psychologist, sitting and waiting " "Silent Lambs" the heroine's luck, the whole film ends.
To sum up, no matter what general narrative method is used in a good movie, the theme must be clear. After watching it, you will know what the director wants to express. Even if I don’t discuss educational significance, at least I don’t have to go out of the cinema without a blank brain and no feeling. The biggest problem with "Red Dragon" is that you don't know what the director wants to express. A scoop of cold water is poured into the stomach, meat or meat, water or water, without any fusion. "Red Dragon" should be a typical multi-no product, no plot, no main line, no good story structure, all the important nodes or media that promote the development of the story plot have been tasted, three hardcore actors The actors are fighting each other, and there is almost no chance of collision. Uncle Ba and Uncle La are even fascinated in the movie. They never met each other from the beginning to the end. (Of course, it is also related to the director's premature sending of Hannibal to prison. ). The advancement of the plot always gives people a sense of trembling, and the behavior logic of each main character is very unreal. The director should not be able to make good use of the outstanding personal abilities of the three important actors to cook a good dish. You can only shoot one and one, and use each method of defeating to complete the drama task requirements of each person separately, but there is no and no ability to integrate them organically.
"Red Dragon" largely refers to the plot model of "The Silent Lambs", and the film studio is also very ambitious to gather three major acting actors. It can be seen that the film studio originally wanted to make a "silent of the silent". The sequel of "Lamb" has never lacked examples of star-filled but ultimately failed film history. This time, "Red Dragon" started with a script with weakened conflicts and ended with a seemingly unconfident director team. It has become a dog-tailed work again, for the sake of three old drama bones, give two stars.
