Atmosphere is the most important aspect of this type of thriller. Looking at the whole film, it is relatively successful in creating atmosphere: the overall tone of blue and gray, the shots full of distance, the brief dialogue between mother and daughter, and the vaguely disturbing lines interspersed from time to time. The director also handled the rhythm of the first two-thirds of the film quite well. Before the disappearance of his daughter, the whole film seemed to be immersed in a sad stagnation. The low tide, repeated over and over again until the truth emerges, the audience has always been led by an atmosphere of suspense, at the high point sympathizing with Jodie Foster's mother's anxiety, and at the low point sharing the doubts of the rest of the supporting cast, the intensity and timing of the transition can be said Impeccable, for a time I really wondered if this mother was really a
doomed man who was mad because of grief... The truth reveal did not drag to the end of the film, but from then on the script began to reveal that it was destined to be hopeless . In fact, if the film takes the line of mysticism, and accordingly makes some adjustments to the script, and adds some more bizarre shots in front of the film, the film may be rated at a higher level. Unfortunately, Jodie Foster's image of a fierce girl with both wisdom and courage is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In addition, the mother and daughter are affectionate and can show off their acting skills. Therefore, the story can only be skimmed in the direction of mystery and chaos, and then returned to the real world. This also points to the worst thing about this script - it just isn't realistic at all!
Carefully study the entire script design, you can find that although this story is cleverly designed, it is highly unlikely to happen, and there are a lot of absurdities. In the second third of the film after the truth is exposed, the absurdity is layered at the rate of once every minute. It is no exaggeration to say that it is no exaggeration. The nerves that have been tense for more than an hour are quickly relaxed, and the mood has changed from a first-class suspense film to a third-class. Even a thrilling action movie that is not in the flow, the eager anticipation turns into a needle-like feeling within five minutes. Although the camera control is still the same, and the rhythm adjustment is still the same, the story begins to collapse across the board, until it is outrageous and unbearable, and finally ends in a long-anticipated sensational...
Although the plot is exaggerated and crazy, But the actor's performance can be said to be quite good. Jodie Foster's film has not been seen much except for "Silence of the Lambs", but it is indeed worthy of being a movie queen. The mother-daughter emotional scene in the first part of the film is very brilliant, and Jian Bai's lines are very interesting. . In my memory, the daughter asked her mother how her grandfather and grandmother in the United States were eating. The pursed words "The best" felt that the pain and love of a widowed woman were all over, and people couldn't help but smile and nod; On the contrary, the monologue seems a little too closed and a little unreleased. After all, facing a husband and facing a daughter are two different roles, not to mention the situation is completely different. In addition, the captain of Sean Bean is also very tasteful. I met him in the first episode of "Lord of Ring", where he played the heroic death of Boromir and his deathbed confession. acting. Recently, he has made a series of blockbuster movies, such as "Troy", "The Island", "National Treasure", "North Country".... He has the momentum of leaping into the first-line golden supporting role, which makes people optimistic.
Overall, "Flightplan" is an anticlimactic masterpiece. If you can barely feel the atmosphere while watching the movie, you'd better focus on Jodie Foster and appreciate the actress. of acting, see if you feel a breakthrough. But one thing is certain, this mother is far less than the young prostitute of the past, and will not let you lose your soul to the point of picking up a pistol and assassinating the president. I can fully guarantee this.
