Montage and Criticism of Money First

First, point out the two groups, the very obvious montage techniques that I paid attention to in the play. one. At the end of the movie. There is a scene in Ben Guen's treasure trove that is both fantasy and reality. That is, the night after John was tied up, the illusion of Captain Flint emerged in front of him. It showed Flint's greed and the ugliness of the supremacy of money. Suddenly the illusion scattered the person sitting in that seat doing the same act of throwing jewels and turning into a squire. This detail is very symbolic, implying that the squire is another Captain Flint, and exposing the common greedy nature of the two. The second is also at the end of the film. They took the boat back to sail. After Jim threw the first-generation treasure into the sea, the lyrics rang through the film "15 people lying on the dead man's box". Followed by 14 pictures of 14 different people dying, and interspersed with scenes of the squire greedily and frantically picking up the treasure in the treasure vault. The montage technique that is very obvious through multi-point crossover implies the death of the squire. As expected, the scene is cut. After the cut was completed, the squire jumped into the sea for money, and his treasure was forgotten on the bottom of the sea forever. At the same time, I also pointed out an unreasonable place. The pit where the treasure was dug is too small and shallow, right? How can so many gold and silver treasures be dug out from such a small pit? This is not because of the hairs of Monkey King! I think this film quite appropriately reveals that the social ethos of the supremacy of money at the time warned people to pay less attention to the value of human nature and less fame and fortune.
