The Adventures of Love
——
The film review of "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snitch" To be honest, I just watched this film and thought it was an animation. background music), the camera all, through a brief vaudeville montage, brings the audience into the real story. The director used animation effects in the title, which not only rendered the atmosphere of the story, but also played a good role in attracting the audience.
The film tells a story: the three siblings lost their parents in a fire and inherited a large inheritance left by their parents. Because of his young age, he can only use the money when he is of legal age. As a result, the three siblings were temporarily taken to the house of Olaf, a distant relative, to be raised by Olaf. However, this time, the three siblings fell into Olaf's trap, and were targeted by this greedy relative for the inheritance. Time and time again they were in danger, and it seemed that Olaf had to kill them. So, they fled to their uncle's house, a biologist, but it was full of snakes, which was quite scary. To make matters worse, Olaf followed him like an inescapable shadow. The three children continue to flee, and when they realize that their aunt's house is not the place to go, they decide to fend for themselves and deal with the evil Olaf to the end.
The director took great care in the appearance and introduction of the three siblings. Sister Violet, the director adopted a backlit shooting technique to show the audience Violet's interest in invention through narration; the younger brother Klaus is well-informed and an authentic little doctor. The director uses a set of long shots and pendulums. The lens was introduced, and special effects were also taken. The youngest child has sharp teeth, and he said something that only elder sister and elder brother can understand. The director used a long lens in the introduction, and the quirky image left a deep impression on the audience. Perhaps it was this minutes-long introduction that gave us an overview of the characters, giving us confidence that the trio would eventually emerge victorious.
Good stories always have twists and turns, and so do movies. The three of them used to live in a warm family, but a sudden change hit them hard. When the three received the bad news of their parents, the director designed the side-light shooting, and at the same time, the setting was set at the seaside, and the color was dim, which not only conveyed the pain of the three of them over the death of their parents, but also conveyed the impending doom of the three. If you listen carefully, you can find that the roar of the sea is so heart-wrenching.
The film can be described as grass snake gray line - suspense supplemented by metaphorical montage. In my opinion, the reason for this is to better express the theme of the film, the adventure of love. At the beginning of the film, the invention of sister Violet only flashes for five seconds, and finally appears at the end, which can be regarded as a first-to-last echo. The book that brother Klaus read only flashed for eight seconds at the beginning, but it continued to appear in the plot of the story, leading the development of the story step by step. There is also the telescope in the ruins. The director used it as a major clue. Throughout, every major plot is indispensable for its appearance. These grass-snake-grey lines, which not only attract the audience to think, but also closely follow the storyline, are rare in various films in recent years.
The technique of metaphorical montage is often used when the three siblings are suffering, such as the scene where the three siblings play with their parents' photo frames after they are locked up by their adoptive fathers. The director uses positive light and metaphor montage here to let us see the friendship between the three siblings and their optimistic attitudes in the face of difficulties. The three siblings are locked in the car, and the smiling face doll in the car when they are about to be hit by the train is also a metaphorical montage. Seeing that smiling face, the audience seems to be able to put down half of their hanging hearts.
There is also a saving grace in the film when it uses the parallel montage in-play technique. Every paragraph of the story has parallel montages, typewriters and narration, so that the narrative of the story will not be rigid, and it also has a very realistic on-site effect. , making the audience feel like they are there.
However, the ending of the film is too lengthy. In order to reveal the last suspense in the film-a letter sent by the parents when they originally went to Europe, the director made the film look far less realistic at the end than before. Although it shows the theme of the adventure of love, but it falls into the rut, it may not be worth the loss.
