"Munich"

Spielberg will never let you down. "Star Wars" he talks about disasters in three points, and "Munich" is undoubtedly a masterpiece with a clear eye. War, history, humanity, emotion, these elements are like glass balls in his palm, and he has all played with it.

What makes a good movie?

Maybe when we watch a movie again, there are already many requirements in the subconscious mind. For example, my requirement is that a perfect movie must have the following elements:

1. A good theme and a good story. Of course, storytelling requires skills. This is not a thing. Easy. The Munich event of the 1972 Olympic Games, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Nothing to say about the subject matter.

2. The visual stimulus must have enough weight. I call it the "imaging spectacle". This spectacle can be beautiful and magnificent, or it can be tragic and sad. For example, when a character is killed in a violent scene, smart directors will use their brains, because the audience will always remember a movie because of a scene. Of course, the more important thing is that the scene is more important for portraying the characters. The key is nevertheless. When the professional female killer was killed in "Munich", there were three bullet holes in her body in turn. She hugged the kitten and finally fell on the recliner. The nightgown was opened, and the blood gushed from the small bullet hole in the neck and poured into his naked body. . This is suitable for her who is good at seducing and killing people.

3. The characters are full and weighty. Even a supporting role with only a few plays. I really like the character "Dad" in this drama. He is the leader of the group that provides clues to the underworld, a "godfather" character. Spielberg has said it completely in just three scenes. The first scene: the meeting with Ivner, he asked Ivner to help him cook, he took Ivner's hand and said a very important sentence: "Butcher's hand, gentle heart", this is in Talking about himself is also talking about Iverner, he is gradually building Iverner's trust in him. The second scene: The two pick fruits in the garden. It is natural to say that the two people's work is to "support the family." This term is the foundation for the next two scenes, and the contradiction between the characters quickly manifests. The third scene, lunch. This is the most important scene. Many movies like to tell stories while eating, because the whole family gathers together when eating, and it is easier to have conflicts. This lunch fully demonstrated the conflicting relationship between "Dad" and his family. His quarrel with Louis, and other family members did not understand his service to the underworld, but the family of Nuo Da relied on its business. Well, there are contradictions, and the characters live.

4. Thinking. There is no doubt that any good work of art will make people think. Iverner, who was originally an Avenger, suddenly discovered that he had become the target of other people's assassinations, and his companions died one after another. He suspected that there was a bomb in his room and could not sleep. He held a pistol, sat there and started thinking, thinking about the meaning of all this.

5. Good photography and soundtrack. Eh, editing and makeup are all here. I'm tired of writing, you know it's past four o'clock in the morning.
