Before 2012.6.6, I thought it was not well written, so I deleted it. Anyhow, I wrote it myself, so keep it.
The statement before the article: 1. Please respect yourself for people who are too sensitive to the heads of people falling down; 2. This film is not terrible; 3. The film reviews can be misleading. Friends who want to watch the movie should pay attention to the choice.
For a long time, I have always believed that thrillers are the genre that best reflects the talent of directors. Tim Burton is known as a Hollywood "ghost", which is naturally his special skill. After watching "Decapitated Valley" (also known as "The Headless Horseman"), I am more convinced of this argument. Although many viewers are resistant to thrillers, good movies should never be missed. When I watched this film, I was deeply moved by her all the time, which made me ask myself: "Why are there always people so talented?"
From the screen, this film is impeccable. With the right music, every frame is perfect and luxurious. In order to pursue the "gothic style" and the effect of a black and white horror film, this film has darkened the lens. While admiring the beautiful photography, people are always reminded: "This is a thriller." Among them, the gloomy Guillotine, the headless knight, the jack-o'-lantern, and the witch. . . Like Allan Poe's novels, Tim Burton fully carried forward the Gothic style. From the visual and atmosphere, it gave the audience the greatest satisfaction. Secondly, the close shots given to the heads of people who are falling are very visually impactful. With a crisp sound, the human head was easily wiped from the neck like tofu until it fell to the ground, and the eyes were full of panic. . .
But the most superb thing is that this movie does not rely on blood to get people's attention. In fact, apart from the human head, there is nothing bloody and scary, otherwise, it will be reduced to a second-rate movie like "Chain Saw". The director obviously focused on creating the atmosphere. In addition, Tim Burton maximizes the horror of the murder scene, while also balancing the audience's psychology in the plot. The film has ups and downs, the plots are intertwined, no flaws can be found, and there is no inconsistency that is easy to appear in traditional fantasy movies, and it is difficult to justify the mistakes. Therefore, it is not so much a thriller as it is a suspense.
Although in terms of plot design, "Guillotine Valley" is not the best, but compared to domestic ones, it is still a lot stronger (I don't say anything about domestic thrillers, fuck it...) This movie is full of In addition to magical colors, it does not rely on demons and ghosts to hold up the whole film. It focuses on the complexity of the plot. Conspiracy, murderer, murder. . . It looks as enjoyable as a detective movie, which makes it fundamentally different from the previous magic thrillers that don’t talk about the plot and directly fight monsters.
Of course, Johnny Depp is now a big hit in Hollywood. He plays a young lawman in the film. When I introduced this movie online, someone commented: Johnny Depp's acting skills are indeed good. "I'm noncommittal. I think, rather than saying that his acting skills are good, it is better to say that his performance is distinctive. Here, we have seen the embryonic form of "Captain Jack", but it is more constrained than "Captain". Of course he is also vivid. It portrays all the characteristics of this character: little experience, a little conceited, but very talented handsome guy." The heroine Christiridge has a sexy body and a baby face, when he is with Depp. At the time, I always felt that she was still a child. However, in any case, her mysterious temperament is still very good.
Forget it, let’s not talk about that much, in a word, "Guotou Gu" is just these two words: classic! Another: This is my first film review, but it will definitely not be the last one. Please correct me if there are any mistakes!
