Director: Roman Polanski • Year: 1967 Country: American
movie began in the vast snow fields and gray-blue, professor teenager Alfred Hughes with the division commander Abu dragon horse-drawn sleigh riding in cold Marching in the bone-piercing cold wind, Abronsius was chasing the vampire, which was not tolerated by the world. The ignorant and dazed boy followed the teacher, not knowing where to go. Suddenly, the wolf whimpered behind him, and the panicked teenager asked the master and the driver for help, but there was no response. The desperate young man launched a ruthless effort, gritted the umbrella he pulled out by his teeth, and slapped the beast fiercely. When the wolves were busy tearing the umbrellas, the panicked teenager finally escaped.
The 30-year-old Polanski may have never thought that his experience would be so in line with Alfred in [The Celestial Master]. Before that, although his films [Water Knife], [Disgust], and [Dead End] were once recognized, denial and regret often accompanied him. He was shackled by the pitiful budget and harsh film environment, and even the filming process was full of entanglements and contradictions. [Tianshi Catching Demons] is like a dividing line, releasing the happiness and noise in his heart. An unhappy wandering poet in the European film industry is finally able to reconstruct the legend of vampires with a witty and satirical new perspective. In this way, [Tianshi Catching Demons] has become a classic of the same theme. A film that incorporates Polanski's personal performance and emotion J. The bold shots and flamboyant tones that surpassed the times, the gothic and ghostly sets, and the large investment made Polanski, who was embarrassed before, like the teenager in the film, raised the umbrella in his hand, and raised his umbrella to "poverty," "question," Unwilling," he slammed it hard.
He described in his memoirs: "I have considered writing a satirical film script with Gérard on vampires many times, and every time we watch a horror movie in Paris, we will notice the audience burst into tears. Why this time? Can't make a comedy film?"
So he did, he started a happy script writing, he wanted to express all aspects of the subject matter, and at the same time he wanted to make this film into a funny, Beautiful, visually appealing video. He thinks the scriptwriting of [Tianshi Catching Demons] is a real treat, and he often bursts out laughing during the writing process. A
"The hotel was noisy and steamy, with rough-dressed Transylvanian travelers joking and arguing in the hotel. As soon as Professor Abronius woke up, he noticed the garlic everywhere in the hotel, and the young Al Fred's eyes were fixed on a woman's breast at the moment. "
Polanski , who stared at a woman's breast, never lacked women. His cynical personality and bohemian lifestyle made his first marriage a failure. Just the moment he saw Sharon Tate, he seemed to have an unusual feeling. The first meeting of the two did not spark a spark of love, and Polanski even thought that Sharon's American face was not suitable for the role of the Jewish daughter who was locked at home, which made Sharon very unhappy. But in this game of men and women who want to refuse to return, the two seem to have found something in common. B
"At the moment when the girl came out of the bath, Alfred was fascinated, but at this time, the vampire far away in the castle had already decided to kidnap this coveted treasure."
The relationship between the two quickly warmed up on the set. And the lens in the film also favors Sharon. Although there are many heavyweights in the film---Professor Abronsius played by Jack McGoran who played the leading roles in [Doctor Zhivago] and [King Lear], and Alfie McGowan, who played the innkeeper's role, Bass made frequent appearances in [Meet Too Late], [Pink Panther's Revenge], and [Million Pounds]. But just look at the visual language that Polanski spared no effort to use in the plot: the blood-red bats flying in the opening speech stayed on Sharon's name and turned into red lips, and the cameraman deliberately placed her chest in the middle of the screen. The fiery love in Polanski's bosom is known from the sensuality and nudity of Sharon over and over again. B
"After the girl was kidnapped and the innkeeper turned into a vampire, the two embarked on a journey to the vampire castle. The earl they met in the castle was undoubtedly the murderer who kidnapped the girl." E
Polanski pays great attention to the witty pleasures of detail and coincidence, such as the innkeeper of Kanaya Zangjiao, who escaped capture twice by the same means. And the boy who was granted by the soul, in the old castle, was looking for a singer wishful thinking, but what he found was a horny gay vampire. Alfred was still fascinated by the girl, but the professor who was about to act for the sky was stuck on the top of the tower and was frozen stiff. Or Professor Abronsius and Alfred's hilarious dance and mirror embarrassment on the dance floor. And all of this culminated in the vampire's pursuit and the escape of the three. They successfully infiltrated the vampire's dance with their lame costumes and rescued the beauty madly. Polanski unrestrainedly swayed his talent, and designed the action and plot of such a 1967 film to be hilarious. R
"Dear Sarah, imagine the outside world, warm Venice, cruise ships, sun, sea, light, life, our love. Think about it. Think about it."
This touching sentence in the film Confession is perhaps the most sincere expression of Polanski's heart. In that young and crazy era, he also had such a sincere love, and he also once galloped across the ocean full of hope and infinite optimism. W
"That night, on the way to escape from Transylvania, Alfred held Sarah's little hand, yearning for a beautiful love, but he didn't expect that Sarah's kiss of death made him happy , but let the devil spread all over the world. "It's just the end of the movie, which tragically coincides with Polanski's impermanent fate, O
[Tianshi Catching the Demon] was released in 1967, on January 20 the following year, Pregnant Sharon Tate married Polanski in a super-short white dress. On August 9, 1968, Sharon and Polanski's friends were brutally murdered by the Manson family at their Los Angeles home.
"Any happiness and joy will one day make its owner pay for it," Polanski wrote in his memoirs.
He also wrote, "I deeply feel that the easiest way to avoid pain is to avoid getting too deeply invested. There is bound to be danger and insecurity in any relationship, and sadness in any love."
Because when he rewatches the movie, he will remember the moments when he was happy and happy, and his wife in white gauze. K
