The American version of the poster is beautifully designed. The oblique half-length shot of the gun, the incompletely cropped head, the mottled blood stains on the face, the firm and powerful eyes, the blurred background of the large depth of field, and the eye-catching bullseye. . All kinds of. Everything reveals instability, violence, and revenge. Incompatible with the protagonist's elegant name. In fact, apart from the fact that the film uses revenge as an open thread, I guessed everything wrong. This is a complete literary film.
Looking at the resume of director joe wright, it is no wonder that he would make such a film that is difficult to categorize.
The rhythm of the film is average, and the escape stage in the middle is obviously a bit procrastinated and unnecessary. Apart from telling the audience that the heroine is not a cold-blooded machine, there is nothing else to convey. And the human side can be fully reflected in the heroine's performance, there is no need to set up special bridge descriptions. It was originally thought that the family of four would become the highlight of the film's climax, but it was not surprising that it became the victim of government conspirators.
In addition, the movie's editing and scene settings are excellent. A large number of long running shots conveyed another dark line of the film: this is a hunting game of hunting, being hunted and anti-hunting. It's like the beginning and end of the movie echo. In this game, the rules are simple. Give the enemy a powerful but not fatal blow, and then wait for it to burn out. It is the cruelest kind of killing. The scary thing is that this method is not out of hatred in the heart, but out of the habit and dependence on killing techniques. When I saw the perseverance and triumphant eyes of the heroine when she stood up from the rails, my heart trembled. In addition, there is no need for the director to place a deer here to remind the audience. This plot technique is almost a slander for the audience.
The literary and artistic feelings of this film are mainly reflected in photography and scene settings. A large number of applications of high-light backgrounds, slow motion close-ups, and filter applications make me and other small fresh and mild patients directly addicted. You know, everyone is watching with the mentality of an action movie. The degree of stunning is slightly lower than seeing Ms. Matsushima crawling out of the TV. It can also be seen from the director's handling of the action scenes that he is not going to make an action movie. The action is just a necessary and sellable element for the plot laying. Fighting is all point-to-point.
Excluding technical analysis, look at what the film conveys or wants to convey. The second half of the film has already broken through the main line of revenge laid before in connotation, taking the sharp gunshot that killed his father as a turning point. Hannah’s battle is no longer revenge, but a battle for her lost identity. Having said that, I can cite a lot of model movies. Therefore, there is nothing new in the innovation of the script. And I prefer to understand this change in another direction, that is, the loss of Hannah's identity caused by my father's imposed education. Please forgive me for being far-fetched. Although the loss of identity is the ultimate proposition of philosophy. But I believe that anyone who grows up under a high-pressure education background is always so overt and sensitive to this issue. Extending in this direction of thinking, this film has meaning. After Hannah learned the truth, she still pierced her "mother"'s heart with her extremely fast blasting bullet. (In a sense, she is indeed her mother), is this a kind of self-denial vulgarity, or is it revenge for deceptive education? Or is it an oath of rebirth? Therefore, the film also has an open ending, which can be guessed.
In a certain sense, different thinking angles of watching the film will bring different viewing experience. The key is whether viewers can use their own thinking to liberate the movie, let the movie be free, and let themselves be free.
