[rating] I
have to say, before reading the film review , the plot compactness and conspiracy theories of "Shadow" do not make people feel that they have much ability, although from a certain point of view, it may be more in line with today's political reality On the one hand, but as a suspense film, the attraction is obviously weaker. I guess this is why most people give 4 stars to "Shadow" and 5 stars to "Forbidden", after all The ups and downs driven by the plot of the film are different. To put it bluntly, it is not exciting enough, because it is impossible to dig the film to any extent when watching it for the first time.
[Content] In
terms of connotation and metaphor, "Shadow" is indeed slightly better. The director has been extremely cautious about the identity of the ghost and the setting of its role in promoting the film's plot. The political atmosphere of the whole film is more realistic, and it is not like the general American political conspiracy themed blockbuster, where the little people who are involved in the truth are designed to be magical. The facts are revealed to the world, happy ending~ Think about it carefully, that's what happened in the hit "Prison Break" back then. The advantage of this setting is that the details are exciting enough, there are fights, gunfights, drag racing, and conspiracies The wisdom of the conspiracy collided with the conspiracy, and it was a matter of course. After all, this is enough to support the word suspense. It is a bit unfortunate to claim that "Shadow" is a suspense film. I personally feel that "Shadow" is more like a documentary that understands politics from the eyes of small people.
【Ewan's acting skills】
Given that the atmosphere of the whole film is set lightly and calmly, it is bound to find a capable actor so that the audience who has been spoiled by the wonderful visuals can watch the film. Ewan's performance is undoubtedly a bright spot. This bright spot is to let the audience like this character without letting the whole plot of the story be overshadowed by the character's personal color. For this reason, Scottish Ewan talked about RP and let the audience know that this is a An Englishman with a refined and humorous personality, but he does not have more consideration for his identity, and Ewan does not have too many personal emotions. After insight into the love fight between the Prime Minister's wife and the secretary, Ewan Still chose not to look, although he heard the lady sobbing. After being intruded into the boudoir by the Prime Minister's wife at night, Ewan still showed a lack of sexual interest, as if he was reluctant, but fortunately, this sudden and meaningless nudity became one of the more eye-catching highlights of the whole film. Despite being set as a character with almost no personality, Ewan is still able to bring a cautious, witty, and flexible soul into this tired face, frowning, and simple body with the necessary plot settings. . Makes this character fully play its role to the whole film, and at the same time does not conflict with the sense of reality.
[Ewan VS Leonardo in the film]
If you insist on comparing "Shadow" and "Forbidden", then the hard battle between the two protagonists is inevitable. In terms of their contribution to the film alone, I think they are comparable. Leo is very good at expressing this kind of heroic image of bitterness and hatred and a mission. He couldn't be happy, and there was a sense of crisis and suspicion in his every move. He is resourceful and can outwit a variety of potential enemies. It's the tension that Leo's brings that contributes to the tightness and tension of the plot. However, Ewan's performance was like waving his sleeves lightly without any force. He was soft in character, able to bend and stretch, with a faint smile, even a hint of slump and laziness. When you see Ewan's performance, you won't feel tired, but you are only slightly influenced by him. He doesn't do anything extraordinary, but he can adjust the speed of the film in a subtle way to make it more relaxed. The performances of the two people can be said to have their own characteristics. They are all born according to the needs of the film. One more point is too much, and one less point is too little.
【Real Ewan VS Leonardo】
From the development of Leo and Ewan, I have to say that although Leo has been red to purple over the years, the image of the filming has become more and more rigid in a routine. The first is that his image of the widower is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the confinement island, the road of revolution, and the space of inception. . . All in all, in the movie, leo's wife generally does not live long. The coincidence of this setting seems to be insignificant, but in fact it is to pave the way for the loneliness, helplessness, and distress of the characters, and Leo is more and more preferring this kind of heavy heart and cannot bear the role. In recent years, none of the roles have been picked Not so. It can be seen that he likes acting so hard that he tightens every muscle of his own. But what I want to say is that in terms of Leo's experience and status, he no longer needs to prove anything so hard, but it may be that he is obsessed with and indulged in this role, but no matter what, in order to return to easy and Naturally, in order to break through this routine again, can he act gently? Some people say that the practice of martial arts is from light to heavy, and then from heavy to light. Those who can be heavy are naturally masters, but those who can be light and heavy are the real masters. Ewan must have understood this truth. Although his red and purple level is not at the top level, he can easily control himself, from the extremely grotesque train guessing, to the manic velvet gold mine, to the shadow writer who stays out of the way, and then again. I love you Maurice from Wei Nuo Xiaoshou, he can be light or heavy, attack and suffer, and play freely, and in the play, he also has the part that he has always insisted on, that is, his hobby of being naked is consistent. . . =. =b But we can only be ecstatic about this hobby. . . Digressing from the topic, in the end, I'm looking forward to leo continuing to play his tangled roles, but I hope he can also take a light-strength role once in a while, so let's take it easy.
