From "The Hurt Locker" to "The King's Speech" to "Homeland Security", political and historical themes have been the darlings of the American Academy judges in recent years. And if David Lean’s films let the audience “taste history”, Oliver Stone’s movies let the audience “reflect on history”, and modern political history films let the audience “experience history”. Compared with traditional political and historical films, modern historical and political films have weakened the rendering of the background of the times and the analysis of political games, and paid more attention to the psychological state of ordinary people in major events rather than the twists and turns of fate, and weakened consciousness. The form and color are replaced by human care. In terms of his artistic techniques, he has abandoned the past god-making atmosphere, and tends to use low-key and simple film language to bring the audience into history. As the saying goes, "Low-key is a high-end costume X", "Escape from Tehran" used such a way to gain the double favor of audiences and critics, making Ben Affleck transformed from the box office poison of the year and became a new generation of directors. The leader in the industry. When interviewed by the media, Little Ben once quoted John Ford as saying that "90% of the director's job is to select and guide actors." The low-key but powerful actor casts the same line as the film's low-key and X-like temperament. Except for Little Ben himself, none of the other actors in the film are from the first-line Hollywood stars, but their strength should not be underestimated: Brian Cranston is the "old white uncle" who won the Emmy Award winner, John Gu Deman is the queen actor of the Coen brothers, and Alan Akin is an old drama player who has been in Hollywood for many years. Even the actors who played hostages have rich acting experience. Such a cast not only allows the audience to no longer spend their energy on "I have seen the uncle" and "counting the stars", it also effectively guarantees that "everyone has a play" in the movie, at the same time, it adds a sense of reality to the movie and saves shooting. Cost is really multiplying. Little Ben's lines in the film are so concise, without any sense of robbing the scene, making the whole film very coordinated on the performance level, with an obvious new historical film style. When the Iranian guards saw the footage from the movie, they also took off their guard and showed a rare smile. If we were to repeat this story, in fact, this is just a perfect task of "I come, I see, I conquer", and there is not much drama at all. Therefore, how to turn such a simple story into a wonderful movie has become a touchstone to test the director's ability. Brother Xiaoben mainly uses three methods to achieve this goal in the film. One is to downplay the ideological level of judgment and focus on the contradiction between human common emotions and the alienation of people by politics. The film not only portrays the homesickness and panic of the six hostages, but also shows Tony Mendes' concern for his wife and children, the compassion of the Iranian housekeeper in the Canadian embassy, and even the Iranians' interest in the film. Correspondingly are the killing and revenge between people caused by political conflicts, distrust and disregard for life. The CIA’s decision to cancel the “Argo” operation made the theme very thorough. “Six Americans were dragged from the Canadian diplomatic mansion and executed by mobs. It would arouse public outrage in the world, but if six Americans pretend to be making movies and one The CIA personnel were executed by them at the airport. It would be a national ugly". When I saw this, I couldn't help thinking of "The End of the World" performed by Brother Xiaoben. In that film, a group of American drillers (and don’t forget that they were drilling for oil in the South China Sea when they appeared) could surpass the technological elites of other countries and play the role of world savior. In "Escape from Tehran" "In ", it is the United States itself that puts Americans in danger. From "Americans save the world" to "Americans, Canadians, and Iranians work together to save Americans, and the US government adds chaos", this change is obviously more suitable for contemporary audiences. Values. This quote is very intimate, helping the audience to remember who is John Chambers. Not only will it not irritate Hollywood, but it will become a small talker in the film circle. The second way is to use Hollywood as a boost. The taste is fierce. In fact, after Tony entered Iran alone, the Argo mission had little relationship with Hollywood, but the mission had just entered the main part at this time. In order to increase the dramatic effect and interest of the film, Brother Xiaoben greatly increased the role of Hollywood, using the movie "Argo" as a very important clue in the film, from the invitation of the director to the negotiation of the right to adapt the script, from "Argo f* *K Although "Once Upon a Time in America" is an unborn gang epic, it cannot shake the peaceful "Godfather" in the history of gangster movies; "Shawshank's Redemption" has stimulated the audience in those years after 1995, and has become the second force youth to literary youth Entering the required course for introductory courses, but in the Oscar competition that year lost to "Forrest Gump", who seemed silly and stupid but was domineering side by side. So those young people who pretend to be X who hang "Niu X" on their mouths all day should pay attention. The difference between X and Niu X is that the former is a high-profile show off while the latter is a natural expression. If you still can’t reach Niu X The level of X is longing for it, so at least learn to make X installed a little low-key, after all, low-key is a high-end X installed.
