This piece is like a handicraft from the great nautical era, exquisite and delicate, full of the romantic atmosphere of that era, so you often want to play with it.
The poetic expression of the difficult and cruel maritime adventure, the violin and the drum represent the two situations of the Marvel: a long voyage and a fierce battle. The lens flows like water, as if the entire ship is full of cameras. The character enters the picture when needed, completes his mission, and then disappears from your sight. You try to get to know the captain, the doctor, everyone, even the French captain who saw the dragon without seeing the end, but the movie does not give you such an opportunity. You seem to be a traverser who accidentally spied on a British ship in 1804. The story that happened on the battleship, when you want to reach out and touch them, the Marvel and his crew turned away lightly and drifted away.
If I say the favorite character in the movie, I think it is the ship, the Marvel. When she appeared in the endless sea, sailing forward gracefully, she was really eye-catching. When the two boats pinched each other, apart from the constantly flashing firelight, they looked like calm and calm from a distance, just like a beautiful oil painting. It was not until the camera cut to the boat that I found the electric light and flint and the ash vanished in smoke.
The captain is the soul of this ship and the spirit of the whole movie. Although Russell Crowe does not have the natural sense of substitution like other British actors, he relies on his exquisite and rich performance to create a wise, stable, brave but elegant Captain Jack. PS: I really like his pigtails.
