those sarcastic people. Don't get excited.
Have you noticed that the whole film Ridley seems to be full of style?
From the French battlefield to the British beach defense to the break between the king and Robin Hood, and then interspersed Acting as a knight with ambiguous love scenes and fake Robin Hood scenes. . . The plot of the whole film has a very large span and is very complicated, and it is definitely not something that can be filmed in 90 minutes. Moreover, the discerning person will find that the plot of the film is too compact. As an epic film, there are a lot of short cuts and teleportation. It goes against Ridley's usual style - from "Gladiator" to "Kingdom of Heaven", what we see are mostly long shots of war scenes, long shots of character dialogues and medium shots, how can there be a rhythm of the war on terror like "Robin Hood": Richard the Lionheart appeared in a hurry, died quickly, and spoke three times faster than the King in the Iron Mask of Jerusalem, as if he was destined to fight soy sauce; the seaside defense battle was also a sudden appearance of the French army, and the British army intercepted it instantly, followed by the French army. The crown prince quickly retreated with an order, not giving the audience time to appreciate. Compared with the Jerusalem siege station - this is simply editing subconscious self-abuse
. The success of "Gladiator" was taken from an abnormally rubbish script, and its story is very old-fashioned: The generals made meritorious deeds, the king was murdered, the generals were silenced, and if they failed, they embarked on the road of revenge, plus a little American-style democratic vision - once Ridley rendered it, it became the best Oscar movie.
The story of "Robin Hood" is very innovative: a peasant archer, just when the king died in battle, could not save a knight, he disguised himself as a knight and retreated, but the knight was the king's personal attendant, and the king's death had to be reported by him, so A legendary story of a fake drama started. . . . . . Compared with "Gladiator", the script has more meanings of "forcing Liangshan" and "rising civilians", which reflects the wisdom of the working people.
In short, I don't believe that Ridley, who has always turned a rotten script into a magical film, voluntarily practiced his own film. I don't believe that a film with such a complex plot only takes 90 minutes. I don't believe that he is willing to arrange epic films as counter-terrorism the rhythm of the film.
Conclusion: Robin Hood was castrated!
