"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1)": I want to say that loving you is not easy

The "Harry Potter" series has long become a legend, and so far, the magic continues.

As one of the most powerful series after "Lord of the Rings", the "Harry Potter" series of films gave us too many topics, gave us too many expectations and disappointments. It has surpassed the movies and best sellers themselves and become It is a cultural phenomenon, and it is also a landmark memory of a group of teenagers and childhood.

"Dead Sacred (Part 1)" is based on the work part of the seventh original novel. It is not so much considering the length of the novel and the requirement to present the novel content in the original film. The seventh novel is divided into 2 It’s better to say that the producer wants to get more box office from Harry Potter’s dying cash cow. Going back to the movie itself, "Dead Hallows (Part 1)" is not as exciting as we imagined. Due to the completeness, continuity, and rhythm distribution structure of the single-episode novel itself, the filmmaker cut the novel into two parts and shot it, which greatly reduced the storytelling degree of the movie itself. Based on the accumulated story setting information of the first 6 episodes, it is also correct. Audiences who are not familiar with the content of the story are repulsive. The audience cannot grasp a key point from the movie. The straightforward restoration of the story is only a mechanical summary of the plot. There is no outbreak, only brewing, which greatly reduces the excitement of the story.

The "Harry Potter" series has always been positioned as a highly commercial film, but the story layout of "Dead Hallows (Part 1)" is not in line with the rhythm structure that a commercial film should have, "Dead Hallows (Part 1)" "The end paragraph of "The focus of the last paragraph is to a large extent only to promote the next episode. It is a pity for the majority of Harry Potter series fans and a suspense and expectation, but for the audience who are not familiar with the Harry Potter series. In other words, this is obviously far below their expectations.

The cut-off of the original novel allowed David Ye Ci to have more time to manage the story in detail. However, David Ye Ci's storytelling level is obviously not as good as that of the third film director Alfonso Cuarón, and the story narration is relatively plain and indifferent. Highlights, the special effects expected by the audience did not have too much performance in the first episode. The entire first episode exists almost exclusively for the second episode, but it ignores those things that the movie itself should have. Only brewing does not break out. It is always disappointing. Perhaps based on the huge crowd of book fans in the Harry Potter series, the producer may not have to worry about the box office, but as a highly anticipated movie, it will be somewhat disappointing.

The "Harry Potter" series has a large fixed audience group. So far, the Harry Potter series of novels have sold hundreds of millions of copies worldwide. This is destined to create an extremely large group of book fans, and most of the book fans are also The loyal audience of this series of films, the existence of these people indirectly promotes the promotion and promotion of the film itself. It is them who are crazy before the launch of the new book, and most of them are at the zero premiere scene. There is a huge presence in this group of people. Commercial value, and the consumer intentions of this group of audiences are the strongest among all age groups. The success of the Harry Potter films is driven by them to a large extent, and this is a successful case in film marketing.

Due to the existence of original novels, the movie itself must face two audience groups, one is a huge group of fans, and the other is a huge potential audience who has not read the original. In the face of this, the movie itself cannot take into account both, and naturally tends to part of it. Audiences, and the first episode of the Deathly Hallows is obviously inclined to book fans. For some audiences who read the original works, watching movies will be more difficult. The Harry Potter series is like a building, which is built on a layer by layer basis. Above, and this foundation is the huge amount of information in the movie and the novel itself. For some audiences who have no foundation in the air, they will inevitably have the feeling of cloudiness in the plot, and the movie obviously does not regulate both audiences. For audiences who are familiar with book fans, the film appears to be a mechanical overview, while for another part of the audience, the film is difficult to understand. This is the shortcoming of this series of films. Of course, this is also a common problem in the adaptation of most famous literary works. At this point, this itself is also a more complicated subject in film theory, and the first episode of Death Sacred can only linger on the verge of passing.
Audiences all over the world have witnessed the growth of the magic trio, and the performance of the trio in this film is still gratifying. Daniel Radcliffe has become more mature, and Emma Watson has a more feminine taste. , Rupert Grint's acting skills are getting better and better. For those people who experienced the "Harry Potter" era, what they represent is more than a favorite best-selling novel? A popular movie series? They represent the collective memories of our group of people’s childhood and teenage years, and they carry too many things. The popularity of the Harry Potter cultural phenomenon is a problem worthy of research in marketing, and its emergence is well known. Brought a large number of follow suits, who would dare to say that "Twilight" is not imitating Harry Potter's marketing methods? The unprecedented success of the "Harry Potter" series has given the film industry a lot of enlightenment and opportunities, but Harry Potter is irreplaceable for some people. It has surpassed itself to become a phenomenon, all of this All of this is destined for "Harry Potter" to be famous in the annals of history.
The magic is still going on, we have at least the last Harry Potter movie we can look forward to, what should we do in the post-Harry Potter era? What should the film industry do? This is a question, we look forward to a satisfactory answer

    In the Harry series I remember, one of my favorite plots.

    Although I've been oblivious to the series - like Hermione's looks - until now; but this episode is really good - at least better than 6. In fact, after watching a few episodes off and on over the past few years, especially this one, I'm looking forward to the next one. I actually feel it - like when I saw Emma with short hair! ? ! ?

  • Hermione Granger: [reading] "There were once three brothers, who were traveling along a lonely winding road at twilight"...

    Ron Weasley: Midnight. Mum always said midnight.

    [Hermione gives him a filthy look]

    Ron Weasley: Twilight's fine. Better, actually.

    Hermione Granger: Do you want to read it?

    Ron Weasley: No, no.

  • Hermione Granger: [reading] "There were once three brothers, who were traveling along a lonely winding road at twilight. In time, the brothers reached a river too treacherous to pass. But being learned in the magical arts, the three brothers simply waved their wands and made a bridge. Before they could cross, however, they found their path blocked by a hooded figure. It was Death, and he felt cheated, cheated because travelers would normally drown in the river. But Death was cunning. He pretended to congratulate the three brothers on their magic, and said that each had earned a prize for being clever enough to evade him. The oldest asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence, so Death fashioned one from an elder tree that stood nearby. The second brother decided he wanted to humiliate Death even further, and asked for the power to recall loved ones from the grave. So Death plucked a stone from the river and offered it to him. Finally, Death turned to the third brother. A humble man, he asked for something that would allow him to go forth from that place without being followed by Death. And so it was that Death reluctantly handed over his own cloak of invisibility. The first brother traveled to a distant village, where with the Elder Wand in hand, he killed a wizard with whom he had once quarreled. Drunk with the power that the Elder Wand had given him, he bragged of his invincibility. But that night, another wizard stole the Wand and slit the brother's throat for good measure. And so Death took the first brother for his own. The second brother journeyed to his home, where he took the Stone and turned it thrice in hand. To his delight, the girl he'd once hoped to marry before her untimely death appeared before him. Yet soon she turned sad and cold, for she did not belong in the living world. Driven mad with hopeless longing, the second brother killed himself so as to join her. And so Death took the second brother. As for the third brother, Death searched for many years, but was never able to find him. Only when he attained a great age did the youngest brother shed the Cloak of Invisibility and give it to his son. He then greeted Death as an old friend and went with him gladly, departing this life as equals."

    Xenophilius Lovegood: So there you are. Those are the Deathly Hallows.
