Then got fooled

My friend called and said to go to the movies in the afternoon, I asked what to watch? She said "Harry Potter 7", so she couldn't help being stunned. It turned out that the last one was filmed, so let's go. But to be on the safe side, I simply browsed Mtime.com, and the result was a high score of 8.6 first. As for the "one sentence review", "behind-the-scenes production" and "features", even the film reviews were all praises, the so-called "in the series" The work that impressed you the most."

Then I went to see it, and then I was fooled.

First of all, I have never read the seventh novel. I only read the fourth book of the original work. The film also saw the fourth one intermittently. However, the prerequisite for watching an adapted film is obviously not to read the original work and the previous work. In my opinion, this film is a full of gimmicks and bad money. Perhaps its only highlight is that the movie is called "Harry Potter 7". Of course, maybe this is enough.

First, the story is loose and random. There are two lines in the whole film, and the line of the dark forces is almost weak enough to be ignored. At the beginning of the scene, the boss of Voldemort called a group of younger brothers for a meeting, and at the end, he easily opened the tomb of Principal Deng and took it. After leaving the magic wand, as for the midway boss and the boss’s younger brothers, the total length of the camera shots is not as long as Harry and Hermione on a large rock. More importantly, this secondary line hardly imposes on the development of the main line. Any pressure caused the development of the main line to be very loose and procrastinated (except for the section where the three of them changed into the magic cloth building, which was quite tense).

Specifically, this kind of loose body, on the one hand, lacks grounding and suspense in the plot, on the other hand, it is reflected in the appearance of the characters in the play very casually and lacks appeal. In order to confirm my point, we might as well go through the plot again (relying on memories, it is inevitable that there will be errors).

The Minister of Magic at the beginning of the press release, Harry was at home, and then suddenly opened the door is a group of old friends all came out to protect Harry on the road, and then the enemy came out on time and on the road, Harry’s Hedwig suddenly hung up midway, I It's all because of this bird. Soon after landing, he was told that Mad-Eye had died. The main character in this previous game just left forever so easily.

Then in the evening, the dumb Harry suddenly prepared to betray everyone by slipping away, but Ron stopped him. During the day of the sophomore year, Harry and Ginny had an ambiguity, and then the same, and then this character was also lost. Halfway through, the Minister of Magic came over and gave a few of Dumbledore's relics (two clues: the Golden Snitch and the Gryffindor Sword), and then the character was simply told that he was killed, and then disappeared forever.

Then it’s even more exaggerated. Suddenly, at the wedding, there is almost no sense of who is the bride and groom. When Harry saw the strange symbol (clue 3) and talked about the old woman who wrote Dumbledore's book (clue 4), The dark forces suddenly arrived as expected, knocking the wedding party to a halt, and then the three protagonists were suddenly taken to the streets of London by Hye. Note that from here on, the movie has completely become the story of the three protagonists. The group of old friends in the opening paragraph never appeared again, in other words, they were all thrown away. That is, from the beginning to the wedding for almost half an hour, the film is a movie in which everyone protects Harry Potter to get married, and then it becomes the "Lord of the Ring" where three children use puzzle solving to destroy the sacred object. trip.

The next movie maintains the usual randomness and looseness before. Although it is a puzzle solving, there is almost no foreshadowing of the appearance of each plot. The advancement of the plot basically depends on the inspiration of the three protagonists. Let’s go there." It’s like this. There is no interlocking and tension in the ordinary puzzle-solving process, and there is no connection between the four clues before. It can be said to be a thought. It's one out. Even more exaggerated is that a very strange love triangle branch line was inserted in this, not only did not play a role in regulating the atmosphere, but continued to loosen the rhythm of the whole film, and even made me feel disgusted with the two male protagonists. (There is also the animation used to explain the symbol in the middle. Even if it has to be there, it doesn’t have to be that long.)

The only small character in the film that I can remember is Dobby. It’s a pity that he appeared very late. He also walked very early, and his dying speech and his final death were also weakened a lot by coming and going in such a hurry. Of course more people died as light as a feather than him.

Well, since the story is so weak, how can you keep the audience from falling asleep? The movie here uses a very clumsy method, which is to scare you! Like the inexplicable plot, there is always a sudden "boom" in the sound effects that scares you for no reason. If there is anything really scary on the screen, it's all about it, but eight or nine are very boring gimmicks, even if It's an ordinary transition, and it has to be "boom". There are too many examples of this, I think it is not just a boring question, it can be said to be a blasphemy on the intelligence of the audience.


At the end, when Voldemort opened the coffin and took Dumbledore's wand, I was very calm when the film ended. Because this is completely a big movie that makes money by the name of "Harry Potter", the content of the seventh book can be completely filmed in the same two hours. It is completely different from Mtime.com's Flicker, just because it is the last Harry Potter novel.
