Perhaps the first thing that comes to mind is "The Pianist at Sea", and then expand it a little bit, it's better to think of each movie as a "theatre": "The Godfather" is a serious gangster musical. "Girl" is Meiya's martial arts stage play, "Psycho" is a suspenseful scene drama, etc.
The biggest problem with "Ghost in the Shell" is its lack of expressiveness. The direct cause of this problem is the slow rhythm of the movie. It seems that the director wants to express the "personality" through the adaptation of this "American heroism", and also wants to convey the "realistic projection of the sense of technology" through the shaping of the future city - but the most direct way should be to make money - such as those rough around.
Clearly a loss, judging by the current U.S. and global box office.
Ambitious, incompetent, is not a good commercial director. It is possible to have the ability to make an unpleasant "Hulk" like Ang Lee. In the final analysis, it is a disconnect between technology and strength and ideas - "Alice in Wonderland" can't be the second "Charlie and Chocolate". factory".
The best commercial film in recent years is still 2015's "Mad Max 4". The rhythm, picture, and technology are all at the highest level. Of course, the performance of "Gravity" in 2013 cannot be ignored.
Road movies carry the rhythm of Nashville country music, while sci-fi movies use a "bigger" symphony.
Last year's "Arrival" focused on the depressing soundtrack and rhythmic editing at a small cost to depict "humanistic feelings and philosophy of life".
Even Mel Gibson, a straight and tough guy, knows how to express the cruelty of war with the contrast between the serenity and beauty in the front and the tension in the back.
When I was watching "Beauty and the Beast" and "Ghost in the Shell", I always muttered a word or two, "I want to sleep," "I want to leave." It's
not that I really want to sleep (I really want to go), But their rhythm control is too inadequate. The rhythm is always on the edge of the plot, resulting in varying degrees of off-screen play.
A drama that lasts for hours will not be so tiring. I believe that even if you don't like Peking Opera, everyone will watch "Farewell My Concubine" in its entirety and have no end in sight.
Of course, there are two situations. One is that there is no higher aesthetic level, it is incomprehensible, and it is full of sleepiness.
The other is that, like the "Ghost Mobile Team", it is not a matter of aesthetics, but a problem of the brain.
