And my conclusion is that after reading "Black Book", I feel very boring, all the progress of the plot is expected, even the lawyer will die and the traitor is Hans.
However, after watching this film, my first reaction was that "Black Book" is so good! !
However, it is very strange that there is no comparison between the two films - although the stories take place in similar times, one is a female spy who is involved in danger alone, the other is a colonel with great power and a heretical ideology, and one is a successful Almost zero, the success of the other is absolutely zero - everyone knows that Hitler was not stabbed to death, just like everyone knows that Jing Ke did not stab King Qin to death.
It should be said that the descriptions of the two films are completely different. "Black" is about the front line, "Hitler" is local, I don't know much about the classification of officers in the army, let alone Germany. Yes, but from the movie, the characters in "Hitler" should be the core leadership of the German army, which is higher than the generals in "Black Book".
In this case, there should be no comparison between the two films. However, from the first minute of the film, I couldn't help comparing the two films.
In terms of feeling, the scenes in "Hitler" are more atmospheric, and the grasp of the atmosphere of war is very beautiful, such as the bombing at the beginning, such as the description of the strict guards in "Wolf Den", which makes people feel that this is a man at first glance. play.
However, the goodness of this drama seems to be left there.
Because there are too many characters, the foreigners have long English names and complicated backgrounds, the director is not willing to explain, so for a long time after the movie starts, the audience is trying to identify who the characters are and which side they are from. What did you do the last time you played, and often, when you see the third act, you forget what the first act said, it's very confusing.
Also, a movie with a very clear theme, but because the director spends too much effort to explain unimportant characters, the theme is submerged in various branches, so that there are too many characters, and the only thing that can be remembered is There are a few, and for a viewer like me who is particularly difficult to distinguish the appearance of foreigners, after watching the whole movie, I can only distinguish four people, one is the protagonist Tom Cruise, one is Hitler with a mustache, and the other wears glasses. One was very indecisive, and one was stubborn with a lame leg. See, I still remember these four people mainly based on their external characteristics.
In contrast, "Black Book" pays great attention to the rhythm of the film and the shaping of its characters. There will be no more than 5 main characters in each scene, and they will also include recurring ones. In this way, the audience can easily understand what happened, what each person is doing, and judge what is about to happen based on the characters' past behavior. The advantage of this is that the audience can naturally integrate into the plot without having to memorize it.
And the rhythm of "Black Book" has always been my favorite, although not very unexpected, but it can be linked together, a Jewish woman is hunted, mysterious kind people, unexpected family reunions, sudden killings , A special rescue method... A suspense is connected to a suspense, which makes people addicted.
But the rhythm in "Hitler" is too slow. Tom's left and right eye close-up, false eye close-up, not vivid and detailed description of family relations, procrastination and confusion of the appearance of many generals, a lot of irrelevant information drowns the main line, The rhythm was slowed down, and there were not many suspense settings, and the rendering of the atmosphere was not in place. I felt sleepy all the time, and the people next to me were very anxious, but they felt depressed.
In fact, in the first half of this film, the tension and excitement of the assassination operation should be exaggerated, and the reason for the failure of the operation, the hesitation of some generals, should not be revealed prematurely.
Only if the audience can understand and agree with the purpose of the assassination, be excited about the process of the betrayal, and look forward to the protagonist's victory, so that they can unknowingly forget that this operation is a doomed operation.
It seems that the director's creative ideas for this play are still quite confusing, and he has not considered clearly whether it is a documentary or a story, whether it should show the greatness of the national hero, or the selfishness of human nature and the cruelty of reality.
In creating creations, the purpose should be as simple as possible.
