Revolution or rebellion? Freedom or slavery?

First of all, I declare that I am the original author. This is one of the few examples of movies that I have seen that are wonderful in novels. After watching the first movie, I went to buy novels. I have to say that the screenwriter of the movie is a powerful character. Due to the translation and its own relationship in the novel, the characterization of the characters seems artificial and unnatural. All the expressions of the characters appear in the article in the form of adjectives, so that the whole novel is excluded from the plot. , The narration of the story and the style of writing resemble a pupil who has just learned to write. But this does not prevent this from being adapted into an excellent movie.



Many people complained that this movie was just because of Zhan Niu’s good acting skills. It is undeniable that Zhan Niu’s acting skills in 3 were indeed better than in 1, but the whole movie did not become a big sister’s personal show. The movie retains a lot. The elements in the novel basically restore half of the novel, except for the part about the abuse of Katniss's makeup artist in the Congress District and the part about Akness [the slave of the Congress District with his tongue pulled out], but the latter Parts have been deleted since the first movie, and overall there is no change to the novel. [There may be a few more places I can’t remember. It seems that there are Finks playing spears. 233]



As for what many people have discussed about the director being brainwashed by the anti-Japanese drama, I can only say that this is the original work. Describe, I am afraid the director can do nothing to adapt this plot. In addition, for the section where Finks revealed the secret, I personally think that this is a failure of the novel. That section is unnecessary and some of it does not fit the overall plot, but because it happened at the key plot [is an episode], it was not deleted. . However, the special effects of the film really need to be complained...It is said that it cost 130 million? (Not very clear)...but when Gale shoots an arrow...oh, that special effect is comparable to the explosion effect of the first version of Journey to the West ==



In the process of watching the movie, there are several places where I almost shed tears. When Katniss came to the eighth district hospital for the first time and answered "Yes, I am fighting for you", everyone made mocking gestures, and the people in the eleventh district fled after blowing their whistles. [Presumably, because Lu is in District 11, her representative is the forest] When the hydroelectric power station was blown up, people rushed fearlessly at the gunpoint of the security police and followed suit. After being oppressed for so long, the people of the twelve beneficiaries finally awakened and made up their minds to resist.



But I have a very puzzled place, why only after Katniss appeared, the people of the thirteenth districts really united and began to resist? Why can't people be aware of that unfair society and need someone to lead it?



Let's talk about movies aside from the plot. In view of the fact that I just made up a lot of film high class yesterday, I paid special attention to the composition and lighting used in the film during this movie. It can be noticed that when shooting the 13 districts, warm lights are mostly used, and the overall darkness is relatively weak, and the lights reach the brightest when crowds are gathered. I think this should be to explain, everyone’s Power can overthrow the rule of the Congress District. In addition, when Katniss walked into the 13th district for the first time, there was a lens looking upward. There was endless darkness on it. It was a closed lens. I think everyone who has read the novel probably understood that the 13th district’s President Cohen is also a very ambitious woman. The underground closed building can not see the sky. The 13th district is just another prison for Katniss. And the contrasting scenes that were highly praised in the first part are also used in this part. For example, when people in the thirteenth district have a meal, an interview with Pete in the Congress district is played, and people sit in a simple underground restaurant. The surrounding area is gray, and the gorgeous Pete on the TV clearly contrasts with it. In addition, in the treatment of Katniss, when she was in the 12th zone, the camera always pulled Katniss from the position around the three-point line to the middle, which meant that she became the central figure from the edge. Of course, all of the above are nonsense by myself. 2333



This movie was scolded very badly, but when the last one is released next year, I will still go to the theater to join in~ [Finally mourn the ending without Hoffman... …
