(2) Wonderful
events [Ambrose pretends to be Ethan to set out Nyah's purpose]
Time: 00:58:21~ 01:03:49 (5'28'')
Scene: Ambrose's residence
Trigger: Ambrose
passes by: Ambrose pretends to be Ethan and Nyah secretly connect, and fabricates a series of lies to persuade Nyah to continue to cooperate with Ambrose's
portrayal: the lies under the disguise call the use of disguise Set out the real information and portray the insidiousness of Ambrose
Effect: First misled the audience to think that Ethan came to pick up Nyah. In the situation described by Ethan to Nyah, he misled the audience to think that Dr. Nekhorvich was behind the scenes, and then revealed that Dr. Nekhorvich was pretending to be Ethan. After the description, the audience was about to Lamenting Ethan's wisdom, Ambrose tearing off his mask to reveal his true colors once again made the audience feel "it turns out to be this way" astonished. This kind of nesting structure is very subtle, but it has its shortcomings. The innermost layer asks the audience "How is Dr. Nekhorvich still alive?" The question is answered ingeniously at the end to give the audience a sense of satisfaction, but the outermost layer does not raise the question to the audience. Doubtful, so the moment Ambrose removed the mask did not resonate with the innermost dramatic effect.
Event [Ethan pretends to be Stamp and seizes the opportunity to steal the virus antidote]
Time: 01:38:00～01:40:14 (2'14'')
Scenario:
Triggered at the transaction location : Ethan Passes
by: Ethan pretends to be Stamp and grabs himself To Ambrose, I suddenly noticed after Ambrose shot the Stamp under Ethan's mask, but at this time the real Ethan has escaped with the virus and antidote.
Portrayal: Using a face change to sneak into the enemy, portray Ethan's wisdom / Ambrose tortured and shot Ethan under the mask The Stamp portrays Ambrose’s cruel
effect: it first misleads the audience into thinking that Ethan was caught, then as Ambrose’s gun fires, it asks the audience what to do next, and then a close-up shot of a finger gives a hint, as Ambrose tears it off The question was answered after the fake Ethan mask, and Ethan, wearing the Stamp mask, took the opportunity to steal the virus antidote and pushed the satisfaction of the answer to the top. The first turning point: Ethan was caught and Ambrose shot his knee to torture the audience, which aroused the audience's tension; the second turning point: Ambrose shot Ethan, which caused the audience's grief and doubts; the third turning point: the mask was uncovered and not only relieved Sad, also answered the audience's questions, and once again portrayed Ethan's wisdom.
(3) Narrative techniques
Mainly traditional linear + cross narrative, plus Wu Yusen's favorite memory montage.
(4) Character portraying
always feels that character portraying is Wu's weakness. The protagonist is not three-dimensional and the supporting role is not prominent. This problem reappeared in "Blood Two Heroes" (1990) relative to 10 years ago. However, the middle one "Change Face" (1997) is said to represent the peak performance of the two male protagonists-Nicolas Cage and John Travolta, so save time to prepare for the next "Change Face", I won’t analyze the characterization of the film in detail here.
(V) performance of the lens
Wu guide Standard: church, dove, guns, slow-motion
(f) the value of the core
values of the core film should start with the opening of the proverb:
"Every Hero A Search for the begin with something that the MUST Every
Hero requires, a villain." In order to find a super antidote, Dr. Nekhorvich developed a super virus. In order to make money by selling the antidote, Ambrose tried to infect more people with the virus.
The purpose of behavior is originally neutral or even good (universal values), but the means to achieve the end are unacceptable. On the philosophical level, it is difficult for me to explore the meaning of the sentence "Every search for a hero must begin with something that every hero requires, a villain." But through the ending of Dr. Nekhorvich and Ambrose, we can see the attitude of Director Wu.
