As a Hami who has read the original, my mood is very complicated. In fact, I watched this movie with a nervous mind. Blame me that I value it too much. I have been "worrying about thousands of years" during the movie. When I tried to pull myself to a certain height to examine the movie as a whole, I found that it has become a difficult subject that surpasses my IQ level.
The goblet of fire in the magical world of clouds that obscures the sun
is the center of Harry Potter's original series. This year, there has been a turning point. Voldemort, who has been far away like a hidden thunder in the sky, is finally resurrected. Just when the school year is over, everything should be dust. When it settled, it was also when the magical world's black nightmare truly unveiled. This was the only time in the first four that Harry ended dismal without winning the honor. Before that, the drums of worries have been unbreakable, the Quidditch World Cup camp fire, the Dark Mark in mid-air, and the Triwizard Tournament. This is destined to be an unsettling year, both outside and in the heart. , Harry meets La Yuan Qiuzhang, and his ignorant mind begins to bump into the deer; Hermione meets Quidditch champion Krum, and plays a Cinderella-like legend. This is a year of thunder, rain and dew. The break-in of youth and the return of the forces of darkness, the two flames that form the Holy Grail, and the singing and dancing of the magical world have risen to the unprecedented grandeur of the Quidditch World Cup and Triwizard Tournament. At the peak of the march, it seems that the many new Ministry politicians and the huge character system of the two major foreign magic schools are just the ornaments of the last carnival. We found that after reading four books, we quickly understood that the magical world is so exciting. Awe-inspiring social structure, and immediately, these prosperous songs of all living beings became a backyard flower chanting and enjoying timely music.
We never expected the Harry Potter series to be made into an epic like The Lord of the Rings. Originally it was not an epic. However, the Goblet of Fire is indeed the most majestic and epic of the few Harry Potter so far. Whether it is a heart-stirring scene, complex characters or undercurrent turbulent human nature, there is no lack of the original embryos that have been seduced by the good news. Potential. And the film's excavation of the original works, if I think it is fair, there are gains and losses.
The first thing I expect is that the film can show the transition from peaceful to troubled times. At the beginning of the film, Voldemort's counterattack conspiracy is like a stone falling into the center of the wave, causing many ripples and then returning to peace. Since Harry was awakened from a nightmare by Hermione holding a candlestick, we have realized that the Dursleys, who lacked warmth but were quiet and peaceful, have ceased to exist in Ha Si Middle School, and then a group of people rushed towards Quidditch without stopping. In the stadium, the magnificent scene of the World Cup is breathtaking. Before the audience can enjoy the visual impact created by the magic of light and shadow, it will disappear with the light drawn by the golden snitch. The second time that made me feel the prosperous age under the many crises was the cheers and marches when Harry returned from the cemetery to the maze arena. The people who didn't know what was there in Yu Huanwei praised and cheered their hero, while on the other side was the weeping Harry holding Cedric's stiff corpse. The great contrast between Patrick Doyle's cheerful music and the scene is breathtaking. I even think of the devil who are celebrating in the graveyard at this moment. I have to admit that even if they escaped Harry, this is the Death Eater's most beautiful game so far. The irony is that the victory song should be sung for him. The evil victory is matched with the original sunny music, just like the murder of Dr. Hanniba in the Bach Fugue in "The Silent Lamb".
A tasteless story
is undoubtedly a successful commercial film, the first condition is that it must tell a good story. In the face of the original work with a huge and complex structure, how to choose the plot is a key issue. To be honest, we can’t require every detail of the story to be shown in the movie. In the era of "Prisoner of Azkaban", we began to experience that the Harry Potter series of movies will grow with the length of the original book. Floating light and glimpses. Here we can understand the difficulty of screenwriting.
And Harry Potter movies are not necessarily exhibits that need to be made into the original work, or I don’t agree with the preconceived and detailed standards of the original work to measure the film. do not. Here, it is important to grasp the spirit of the original work no matter how it is adapted.
In the Goblet of Fire, the plot in the original book is a lot simpler in the movie, but considering the audience’s acceptance, some major sections are absolutely dare not to be spared, even if they are not connected to the main line of the plot and become unsalty. Not a light cutscene. Such as the fire warnings from Draco to Ferret and Sirius, the former is a fascinating and funny segment but is irrelevant to the evolution of the plot; the latter can originally lead the plot to be confusing but was wasted under the plot clues that cannot look forward and backward. However, once these plots are deleted, the film’s brilliance is actually reduced, so the first point is that it sacrifices the film’s bright clues while pursuing the wonderful sections.
Secondly, there is a major change. Regarding the little Crouch's dark mark in the sky, the original original work has always been developing in the dark. I found the elf Shining as a replacement for the dead ghost. When I read the book, I naturally did not believe that it was made by Shining. But there was serious doubt about Old Crouch, and Shining was completely ignored in the movie, so that little Crouch shot the mark into the sky in full view. Of course, we shouldn’t have known that this nameless handsome guy was Xiao Ke until Harry took him. We went to the meditation basin and saw the memory of the court trial. At that time, the truth was basically revealed. We knew that the fake Moody who stuck his tongue before was Ke, and his dead father and handsome old man Karkaroff were nothing more than smoke bombs. I think it is feasible to omit the elves, which will not damage the spirit of the original book and make the plot compact. However, it should not be allowed for Xiaoke to show up in the camp and stick his tongue out to the old Crouch too early. This reduces the confusing and confusing film. The observability. Whether it’s Rowling’s original work or the first three movies, the burden of the real murderer behind the scenes is well laid and left to the end, even if there is no doubt about Snape in the Philosopher’s Stone, Malfoy in the Chamber of Secrets, and Sirius in the Prisoner. With Lupin, we would never have expected that the key figures are Quirrell, Ginny, and Peter. The truth is always embarrassing. The Goblet of Fire was originally more blurred. Karkaroff, Old Crouch and Sports Minister Ludo are all serious suspects, but the burden in the movie is not exciting. Basically when Moody showed Harry the way at the entrance of the maze, we knew that the poor kid had fallen into the trap.
Generally speaking, from the perspective of the story, the film is full of climax, ups and downs and dangers, from the tall buildings of the World Cup stadium to the speeding boats riding the wind and waves, from the violent fire dragon to the gentle Qiu sister on the top of the snow tower, and from Ron. Funny Lace to Cedric's death instantly, the film can be said to show the world of light and shadow of all kinds of customs, basically no one will be willing to go to the toilet in two and a half hours. However, after being dizzy, I felt that something was missing. Here, I think as mentioned above, the lack of a stable and consistent connection between the main line of the plot and the interlocking links is one reason.
Regarding the connection, for example, in the Quidditch World Cup, I think the introduction of this paragraph in the original work has two main functions. First, to introduce the Death Eater’s burning camp and the mark of Little Crouch as the Black Demon, and the second is Durmstrang and Boothbatten, who played behind, warmed up. In the movie, it is only for confession. After those top-heavy masked people have passed by, we still don’t know their organization and origin. The originally well-conceived bridge section was dismantled loosely, making the film look like a child returning home without walking in a straight line. While looking around for the wonderful scenery, it loses its purpose. We naturally think it is wonderful, but we find that it seems to be the last place. The point is not where the film started to take us.
The emotions of the characters that are valued and ignored
are one of the indispensable conditions for becoming a heavyweight film. The Goblet of Fire spent more generously on the emotional portrayal of the protagonists than the audience recognized. We see that the choice between Hah Love or Roh Love is far more confusing than laying out the mystery behind the real murderer, and the emotional world of the trio has been witnessed like never before. Even after the publication of Harbin Sixth, everyone on the earth knew that Rohe Love had settled down, and the Goblet of Fire was still eagerly doing tricks. It's just that Harry's brother Hermione's sister's ears and temples were too bad because of Hermione's over-exposed maternal temperament, but, after all, we saw the little wizards begin to swing like a pendulum in the ignorance of youth.
Harry remained brave, from brave fighting the dragon to being lost for the autumn, from telling Cedric the secret of fighting the dragon without hesitation to rescue Gabriel under the water, running back from the maze to Ced, who was entangled by vines, to brave Facing the death bestowed by the devil, we sigh that Xiao Ha is also a heroic hero who loves and is kind, benevolent, loyal and filial. In addition, there are Said the Lamb of Heaven and the violent fake Mad-Eye Moody and the shrewd gossip Rita, especially Voldemort, who shows the beauty of pure evil. Even a scourge character who lacks humanity is also affected by the spirit. The compelling Ralph performed well, and they are all impressive roles outside of the iron triangle.
However, the film ignores the emotional care for other characters, which I cannot understand. Of course, don’t worry. I will not talk about Malfoy and his son here, but people who are more qualified and qualified to be cared for than them, such as Crouch and his son, Autumn, Krum and Fleur, and Professor Snape, except for Old Ke Rauch's father-son confrontation before his death was quite moving, and these people were basically reduced to a black and white background. I certainly know that the pursuit of a complete image of the supporting role is as undesirable as letting Draco perform "Fallen Like an Angel" in the Goblet of Fire, but sometimes a second or two of concentration can make the mood momentous. At this time, I missed Alfonso's "prisoner". Although I think he was not as successful as Newell in character modeling, he can grasp the moment of humanity with a short lens, thus creating a realm of humanity. I especially like the scene where Lupin remembers Lily for Harry on the air corridor. It is beautiful and sad. It highlights the vicissitudes of the werewolf's experience and the tumultuous life of the generations; then it was the first time Sirius saw the moon under the moon. Hogwarts Castle, in such a crisis-ridden moment, he could stop with Harry and sigh the beauty of his alma mater under the melodious soundtrack. Even if it was only a few tens of seconds, it instantly enhanced the humanistic care of the film. Long and far-reaching realm. In the Goblet of Fire, even the easy-to-play segments of the mystery of Crouch and the old Diggory’s loss of his beloved son are ignored in the film’s rigid and rough progress. In addition, there is no arrogant Furong and all the moments of humanity that need to be discovered in the original works.
About Beauty
First of all, without Jason Isaacs and a few femme fatales, I would probably not go to the cinema to watch this movie. I lament that the social environment of this fast food culture has cultivated our emotional and direct temperament. On Tuesday, when a student asked me to introduce Jackie Chan's "The Myth" to them in class, I still had the urge to slap it down, and four days later, I would Sitting grandiosely in the theater facing the fragrant scenery on the screen, maybe the insights into the Slytherin spirit in the past two years are really helpful for training the moral integrity, or it inspires my underlying nature, I won't go into it here.
Originally a movie to coax children, we pre-classified it as a gluttonous meal for watching beauties.
First of all, regarding the Lord Lucius Malfoy, three years have not changed Jensen's understanding of this role, he still positioned him as rude, domineering, cunning and vicious. "Harry Potter" doesn't need a complicated Lucius Malfoy, whether it's the original or the movie. So all Jason can give him is to scold his son anytime and anywhere, and to endlessly ridicule and curse the people at Gryffindor College. Supporting actors do what they are supposed to do, which is simply the truth of infants. Thank Jensen for giving Lucius a face that was subverted with his soul. In front of his dazzling black cloak, the evil heart turned into a noble black tower; in front of the despicable soul, the innocent beauty was again It was so carelessly evil. And the original thin film and the role positioning that is not enough to give him a good reputation are not enough to hinder the audience's infinite reveries flying along the platinum blonde hair. This character has captured ours because of the dazzling shape and the strong evil. Heart. Snake head cane and platinum long hair are his two killer features. I think Jensen should be one of the actors who perform the props most brilliantly. The praise of hair has been talked about since the age of the secret room. Indeed, even if he can't remember his name, he will remember his hair; and the walking stick has gradually become the strong culture of Slytherin College with the beating of Lucius. Symbol, I think this character will not abandon his cane until he dies, and he will not stop correcting and interfering in this world with contempt and irritation.
Draco’s appearance made me once again feel the shocking aesthetic effect caused by the mutual contrast. Draco, who has been playing the villain around the little hero Harry Potter, seems to be destined to be against God’s will, even if the Philosopher’s Stone Tom is a cute kid like Dan and Rupert, but maybe no one thinks that in a few years, he will become a young boy who is very pale and thin but looks pretty and doesn't seem to be insignificant in the original book. The black high-necked shirt and suit made him show his youthful and elegant temperament, and the shocking flash of walking with his father made people feel the mysterious weight of black magic. This time is indeed too short, but can they express it better than it is now? The realm that should be reached has been reached, even if it is only one second, it is no different from lasting for a thousand years. Until Draco jumped out of the tree and tried to attack Harry, and was turned into a ferret by his father’s death-eating colleague, he fled in a hurry. This brave boy who always wanted to talk about his dad, worked hard on Tom. The performance did not make me feel disgusted at all. Can beauty really forgive everything? This seems to be inconsistent with the story of the beautiful princess in the fairy tale who gave up the snake heart.
Professor Snape is still that professor, unlike Papa Malfoy, whose wrinkles have deepened after three years, he is still as beautiful as yesterday. Since his appearance, I eagerly waited to hear his solemn and low voice, but he never seemed to have a chance to speak. Except for the spoof that I think is out of place when he smashes his arms and sleeves his sleeves on the two of Harrows, this character basically doesn't play new tricks. Still unsmiling and disgusted and bored with Halik as always. The heartache is that there is no segment in the original book where he shows the dark mark, which is an absolute waste of Alan Rickman's acting.
The following talks about Comrade Babies who came out of the cauldron. Since watching "Schindler's List", I have been unable to let go of the little Nazi officer who was sitting in a motorcycle fight with a cold and coughing. It seems that until I saw Ralph in the flames. The tired-looking photo at the premiere of the Cup in New York realized that it was completely out of date to imagine Lord Voldemort with the face of a pure boy. It is a real blasphemy to use the word "beauty" to pave the way for the dark aesthetic temperament of the devil. He made Ralph raise his nose and disdain us to use melancholy temperament to add points to him. It turned out that Tom Riddle, who was still a handsome boy, was already He knows how to use beauty without getting tired of it. Now, all flashy tricks are reduced to dung in his eyes. A person who does not need to rely on appearance to please people, his world is only conquered, punished, and killed by one trick. Avada.
Cedric is one of the few boys who have been endowed with beauty by the stingy Rowling, and these boys are all ill-fated and cannot end well. The original book has gone to Harbin Six, Tom, Cedric, Sirius and Bill, one after another. Torn apart under the strangulation of fate and desire, Cedric, who is pure as the lamb of heaven, is the most innocent one. He is like a ray of natural sunlight in this gloomy movie in Harbin No. 4 Middle School, pure and beautiful, but quickly swallowed by darkness. This tragic character with a symbolic fate, is free from Zheng Gyesi, perhaps because of his lack of desire. It's hard to tolerate this magical world ruled by passion and madness without asking for near ideals.
