talking about the title of the film
, the only flaw is that "the text is not on the right track". If the language teacher changes the composition method, it will definitely be judged as "off topic". The English name is fine, but the translated name has to be said to be grandstanding. Of course, from another angle, it can also be said to "attract the audience's attention". The protagonist of the film is an old veteran who was blinded by bombing. Through his short stories one after another, he gradually revealed his inner world from the outside to the inside, from the shallow to the deep. The image of a veteran who is stubborn, but insists and defends the honor and value of the military in his heart. There is a saying: "Half a man is an angel, and the other half is a devil", and I think the same applies when it comes to shaping characters. If you want to create a hero's image, just blindly describe the hero's "high book" in a positive way, it is difficult to be convincing and does not conform to reality. This film is not like that. It not only reveals the bright side of the old soldier, but also has a less bright side. But strangely, this not only did not reduce the image of the old soldier, but made me feel that his figure was unusually tall. As for "smelling fragrance to recognize women", it is only because the old soldier's eyes cannot see, so his sense of smell is different from ordinary people, and he can distinguish many subtle smells, including the smell of women, that's all. It's just that there are a few metaphors about women in the play... I don't know which screenwriter came up with it. Not to mention, everyone who is interested can see it for themselves.
Talk about screenwriting
In a good movie, the first person I admire is not the director, nor the actors, but the screenwriter. Perhaps a director or an actor with great talent or good looks can make a name for himself at a young age. But I think a good screenwriter must have a wealth of life experience and bold imagination, otherwise he won't be able to come up with such good details and so many meaningful dialogues. Sometimes I can't help but open the screenwriter's head to see, is there any difference in the structure? In fact, no matter whether it is a movie or a TV series, it is nothing more than telling a story, and the routine of the story is not much different. For example, Korean dramas and Japanese dramas are all those things, and they repeat the old tune. Why can they still attract the audience to watch it again and again? Mile slam. Without it, only the details. Only a large number of specific and vivid details, which are in line with the psychology of the characters, can move the audience. The same is true of this movie. The words and deeds of the old soldiers can reflect their psychological state and changes, and are often both unexpected and reasonable. What impressed me the most was the scene where the old soldier invited the girl to dance the tango. Not to mention the classic dialogue, every good movie has more or less popular dialogue, and this play is no exception.
Talking about the climax
Every story has a climax, and the climax of this play is undoubtedly the scene where the old soldier defends the boy who takes care of him. Watching the old soldiers talk endlessly on the rostrum, "speaking against Confucian scholars", I understand what is called momentum and what is called eloquence. The ancients said, "One word can make a country, but one word can ruin a country", which is not an exaggeration. The tragic ending that was almost inevitable, after the defense of the old soldier, was just turned around, and finally came to light. I have read this defense twice, and I think the defense is very exciting. The more I think about it, the more flavorful it is. When you are ready to wait for the holiday, you should find a time to memorize this defense.
talk about actors
When it comes to the main character of this play, Al Pacino, he is really famous. I have heard his name for a long time, but have never been able to see his works. Looking at it today, I realized that it is really a virtuous person under the reputation. It is often said "acting school", what is acting school? This is called real acting. The best part of this movie is Al Pacino's superb interpretation of the old soldier. Not to mention the accurate and vivid interpretation of the mental state of the old soldier, just to speak about a blind man, but also to the realm of perfection. People who write books are usually called writers. Only when they become masters can they be called writers. Those who do scientific research are called scholars. Only when they reach a very high level can they be called scientists. The same goes for actors. The ones who perform better are the so-called "acting schools", and the better ones are called "old drama elites", and Al Pacino's performance in this play really made me feel a kind of artistic enjoyment, as if my mind would be able to Pulled by his every move, it is not an exaggeration to call him an artist. What is the realm of the master? Borrowing from the description of martial arts novels: "Turn the visible into the invisible, there is no sword in the hand, there is a sword in the heart, flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people..." (I don't remember whether it was Jin Yong or Gu Long) The master has entered the transformation realm, just like painting Painting, painters are at best just like painting. But no matter how similar the painting is, can it be more similar than the photo? However, the master can integrate his own thoughts into the painting, so that the whole painting is filled with a certain artistic conception, allowing people to enjoy artistic enjoyment. I feel that Al Pacino's interpretation of the old soldier can no longer be described as an image, but he interprets it with all his own life experience and understanding. At that moment, I felt that he and the old soldier were inseparable and integrated into one.
Al Pacino is not only superb in acting, but also very good in appearance. He was handsome and handsome when he was young (if you have seen "The Godfather", you will know), and even now he is over half a hundred years old, and he is very charming as a mature man. If "beauty and wisdom coexist" is the highest evaluation of a woman, then is the evaluation of him: acting plus idol? Such actors are few and far between even in the entire film history. There are often a very small number of amazing people in history, and God seems to be very kind to them. But conversely, good-looking actors tend to be lackluster. And Al Pacino is so chic and suave, but his acting skills can reach the realm of perfection, and the sweat he paid can be imagined.
There are comments that the quality of American blockbusters is deteriorating, and they are all filled with a lot of flashy special effects shots, but the plot is nothing new. I thought about it, does this play have gorgeous special effects, no; is there a so-called grand scene, no; does it have passionate scenes, no, and even think that except for a few extremely brilliant moments, the whole plot can be said to be unpretentious. But after watching it, a touch of emotion flowed through my heart, and the aftertaste was endless, so I knew what it means to "listen to thunder in a silent place", so I felt that Hollywood can be called "DreamWorks", and the Oscars can be regarded as the film industry. The highest honor is really there for it.
