When pen and ink become image

Jacklyn 2022-03-20 09:01:06

Ten years ago in the winter, when the first movie was screened in China, I saw it and was fascinated. I was only ten years old and begged my mother to buy me an original copy of "The Sorcerer's Stone" for 19.5 yuan; The only Xinhua Bookstore in the city, my mother spent 108 yuan to buy four books, from "Sorcerer's Stone" to "Goblet of Fire". An accident ten years ago turned into a pursuit today, a dream for ten years.

Seven books, I have read it no less than five times before and after, and reminisce about the magical world written by Ms. JK Rowling; from the jerky sentences at the beginning, and even the children who borrowed the dictionary to understand what the words are describing, they are still clear today. The college students who remember the contents of each book are in a trance, ten years have passed.

This kind of enthusiasm for Harry Potter, of course, continued to Warner's Harry Potter series of movies. As the world's most gold-absorbing "series of movies", Warner Corporation once made the magical world that only existed in our imagination and originated from Rowling's writing into reality. In the movie, whether it is Hogwarts Castle, Quidditch, or various spells, all kinds of magical creatures fascinate us deeply.

Of course, as a film adapted from a novel, the biggest difficulty is the phrase "a thousand readers will have a thousand Hamlet". When Rowling’s pens and inks have created illusory and self-like characters for us, and the story focuses on the story, when we came to the cinema with a movie that was able to screen our illusory dreams and actualized dreams. , But we are often very lonely by the various portrayal in the movie; when she is so fascinated by Sirius, she sees the image of the "sloppy uncle" in the movie; when he is so addicted to Delacour, he sees the movie The image of an "ordinary woman"; when a person who hates Umbridge very much, he sees the image of the "cute aunt" in the movie; when a person who is so eager to see Peter's final destination finds that the movie is just a passing ...

I bought movie tickets on the Internet very early. Because of my too much residence and more than two years of university life, I went to Hankou Huanyi to watch an IMAX movie only once (Avatar). It took an hour and a half to drive from school to Huanyi Studios, and suddenly I arrived at Huanyi, exchange tickets, and waited for the show at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. I keep flipping through the plots in the books of the Deathly Hallows in memory, and over and over again fantasize about the focus and plot settings of the director; the seven potters must be the opening drama, which is inevitable~ The section of Godric Valley will also be inevitably A big book and special book~ Snape’s patron saint guided Harry to find Griffindor’s sword and it’s worth showing~ Finally, the race against time in Malfoy Manor, Peter’s death, Dobby’s death, and then interspersed with Green The thoughts of Ward and the Elder’s Wand~

At one quarter in the afternoon, the theater went dark, the great visual and auditory impact of IMAX, the huge rusted WB logo, the movie began; Ignore Sterling's oath At the beginning, Hermione’s forgetfulness and her gradual disappearance in the photo seemed to have laid the tone of this movie from the beginning: we can only believe in Harry, he is the last hope~ this is a movie of despair in the Lord, A movie that is constantly looking for hope in the dark, at least my interpretation at the beginning. After that, the film began the process of copying Rowling’s pen and ink completely into images with a good original soundtrack and very awesome pictures and scenes, and then assisting Ron and Hermione in the process of love jokes~ Of course, the director is in this film. In the movie, there was an attempt. Instead of letting Ron destroy the locket directly, he asked Ha to open it with "Snake Guy" and let us see what was inside~ So, we were fortunate to have witnessed it. The passion of Leigh and Hermione...

Many people, who have seen Haqi, have such a comment. This first half is more respectful of the original, at least the more important plots are highlighted in the movie. But compared to the understanding of the original work, the film’s expression is too plain, so that the original story or the preparation for the upcoming counterattack is filled with "shifting shadows":
1. The original work In the movie, there is a description of Harry bidding farewell to the Dursley family, which is the best foreshadowing of the "Seven Potters" segment; in the movie, it is mentioned in one stroke. "Seven Potters" is not just using a few gorgeous flying shots and the embarrassment in the final round of the Burrow to show the protection of friends for Harry Potter and the phrase "Harry is our last hope"
2. The wedding of Bill and Delacour immediately followed, which was the greatest glory after the dark hour; in the film, the sudden arrival of the news that the Ministry of Magic had collapsed during the celebration did not give me a feeling of hope. The end of the
movie is not shocking, but abrupt~ 3. If the story of Kreacher and Regulus is said to be in the past, the snatching of the locket in the Ministry of Magic is indeed not very good; the movie In this section, it’s more like a comedy, so that I didn’t feel the urgency of race against time at all.
4. Actually, I think the director arranged the dance between Harry and Hermione to be a good idea. In the section of Godric Valley, too many elements are really missing. This is not just a place where the horror happened. I want to see the feeling of Harry returning to his hometown, and the background introduction of Dumbledore and others. It seems that the director is more inclined to portray Bathilda as a The scary and weird mother-in-law who can’t speak and will turn into a snake~
5. The addition of the new bridge section that opened the locket with "Snake Lao Tong" is too awful.
6. Peter died without showing it... and, I think there is no problem in this film if Dobby’s death is used as a watershed. After all, the chapter of Malfoy Manor is a climax, which can be regarded as the dawn (the appearance of Dobby) after the ultimate despair (being caught)~ And this This kind of "sacrifice" is the most suitable for rendering, not the love joke between Hermione Ron before...
7. Finally, the scene where Voldemort digs the grave to get the elder's wand to launch a certain spell to the sky is also too bad

for the "Death" "Sacred Artifacts", as I said before, personally regard its main line as a process of constantly searching for hope in the infinite darkness, and it is fascinating because it shows us a more three-dimensional Dumbledore. , There is a more three-dimensional Snape; this is the final one, the final destination and the final redemption of too many people. The plot compiled just because of various causes and effects is more attractive~ There

are not a few people who pay attention to this movie because of Harry Potter itself. They know the plot well, and they all have their own "Death Hallows". ; At first, such dreams and expectations existed in our understanding of the pen and ink itself. When the pen and ink becomes an image, what we see is Warner, David Yates, and Steve Kloves' understanding of "Death Hallows"

The reason why we pay attention to movies is that they may have the ability to meet our expectations. Of course, some people will admire this movie; there will also be people who did not find the expectation, moved and persisted in the book a few years ago within 150 minutes~ But in any case, Harry Potter, looking back over the past ten years, hope that we will always maintain the purest pursuit of Harry Potter at the beginning~

    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! ? ! ?
