In my impression, the establishment of "Meat Pigeon One" should be before the release of Star Wars 7. For the audience who have not yet participated in the Star Wars, the grandmaster-level IP prospect (also "Qian Jing"), such a capricious project may have an uncertain future-not to mention that it was handed over to the young director Garris Edwards. In his hands, a stunned person who has only photographed the small-cost "Science Fiction" "Monsters" and the new version of "Godzilla" with severely polarized reviews. For "Godzilla", I personally love it very much. I can see the tremendous progress since the director of "Monster". Even as a commercial film, there are still many shortcomings that cannot be ignored, but it is still a work of style. Directors with little experience, especially those who belong to the big Hollywood system, prefer to do things that are slanted and unconventional. The reason I looked forward to so much before, and love Rogue One so much today, is that not only the director, but also the producers and executives, dared to put aside the burden of "Star Wars" and let go of making a real movie. An outcast, not a "prequel" that is too restrictive. Jiang Wen mentioned in the interview that Kennedy, one of the producers, "just wanted to see how he (directing the acting) shoots, and how he does anything wrong." ", and the make-up shots that were released in the movie also showed something to some extent). As a result, we see that J.J's unique tactile, stiff and honesty in "The Force Awakens" has disappeared, replaced by the joy that Edwards created with one hand. The Star Wars series no longer focuses solely on the fate of the entire universe, and the various connections between the "chosen man" and the Force. It focuses more on the portraits of people in an era. Looking at the power of the Death Star from the perspective of a small person, even if the scope of destruction is less than that of a planet in the main story, let alone the entire galaxy of the "Starkiller", the power displayed is no worse than the latter two. In this respect, the change in the pattern is not unfavourable. The story is still a slightly heroic "good guy will win" story, but it's somewhat out of the picture. The first half of the multi-line progress slowly, from the birth of the name of RogueOne, it turned into hell mode. We have already seen the pattern of different characters gathering together to save the universe with different motives in "Guardians of the Galaxy". Of course I cannot say that "Rogue One" is better than the former in the arrangement and grasp of group dramas; but when each of the characters finally died with faith and generosity, who can say that such truthfulness is not conventional or not? Right? Felicity Jones’ temperament is the actor that fits this role best in my mind. It can be said that most of the casts have no interpretation of the role itself. What question can be picky. We see that white people, yellow people, black people, and aliens are in the same frame. Aside from the special connotation that Star Wars has been portable since its birth, Disney’s political correctness and casting standards are indeed too good to be ridiculous. Law criticism. Maybe it’s the gloomy and charming temperament that the heroine carries on her face, or it’s the dark tones of the baby’s normal, with the rain scene in the composition of the acceptable camera, or it’s deep into the grassroots of society and let The audience understands the perspective of the difficult situation of the insurgents, which gives this ideological revelation a different style, giving it a true dark tone unique to the promise of "The Dark Knight". It is precisely because of this darkness that the theme of "hope" conveyed by it can be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people; let me be more optimistic about this shining rumor.
However, young is young after all, and naive is naive after all. What the director couldn't control was revealed in 133 minutes. The multi-line narrative used throughout the film is really superfluous in many cases. There is no sense of surprise, and a lot of feelings that can still play the remaining warmth have been cut off. There are also many problems with the rhythm of the first half; for passers-by who don't understand Star Wars, it's not just a problem that can't keep up, but more of a frustration that has lost interest. The most exciting part of the essay drama is the title. In martial arts, if the transmission of hope can be highlighted at the end, the effect may be even higher-for example, the slow motion of the disk from one soldier to another soldier, so many relays, the sense of hope at the sacrifice Maybe it will be thicker. As many media asked in various interviews at the beginning of the show, the role really has no sense of hierarchy. It is true that the male protagonist and Jiang Wen have psychological changes, but they are too shallow and lack persuasiveness. It cannot be said that characters such as the heroine father are not flesh and blood, and are too flat; but if they lack a sense of substitution, it is appropriate. If it weren't for the sensationalism, you probably wouldn't have too much feeling about the characters. The rapid switching between various roles and the negligence of portraying the inner character of the character, that is, everyone reports the line and usually speaks out the psychological activities, which destroys the audience's perception and substitution of each character to some extent. Fortunately, there are Yen Zidan's sticks and crossbow arrows, and Sir Alex Ferguson's chopping melons and vegetables. Of course, another decision error was probably to hire Michael Giacchino to complete the soundtrack of the film. If John Williams was invited out of the sedan chair, the effect might be jaw-dropping. In all fairness, the state of MG last year was really a mystery. Even with the creation of works above the personal level such as "Doctor Strange" and "Star Trek: Beyond the Stars", the major mistakes of "Zoo City" and the mediocrity of "Rogue One" make one can't help but doubt this Whether the composer who is in the midst of the sky is also a short-lived, it is necessary to follow the footsteps of Brian Tyler's midlife crisis (a sticky incense for the once-loved BT). I admit that in the movie, MG's soundtrack meets the demand, and it can't stand the soundtrack alone. The quality of the original soundtrack is too poor. Originally, I was very dissatisfied with him for replacing Alexandre Desplat. As a result, MG completed the creation in only four weeks... MG's weakness is too obvious. When writing a topic, the following writing ideas will often be messy, and you can even hear it. He was scoring the notes, leading to a staggering, roundness not coming back. I can hear too many shadows of John Williams, Luke theme and Imperial March appears too often, and the changes are inexplicable-you must know that when composing, the elegant "tribute" and the despicable "imitation" are often not far apart. This is also true. I said that in many cases, "good" and "good-looking" are only one step away. Of course, what I mean by "good-looking" here refers to the kind of "good-looking" that can be called a movie. When it comes to the quality of Rogue One, it is of course a great film. Base ambushes, beach raids, and space air combat demonstrated outstanding control of the scene. The various elements in Star Wars are undoubtedly radiated with vitality again in all kinds of good ideas-it turns out that Star Wars without the original power and lightsaber can be so beautiful. The function of "Rogue One" may be unmatched in any series. However, the problems exposed by it can't be concealed naturally. May the force be with you.
