This film is a bit verbose to be honest, but I can see a bit of interest when I look at it.
1. Robin Hood and James Potter
can’t see half of the rest of their lives . The role of Robin reminds me of James Potter. I can’t deny that this may be because AR is playing the opposite role, but the more I look at it, the more I feel that the two are somewhat somewhat Very similar traits.
Both of them were born in good-for-nothing families, beloved, and possess strong leadership qualities.
More importantly, Robin, Sheriff and Marian also have a subtle love triangle (in fact, the love triangle is also a bit imprecise, no matter whether it is here or HP, Sheriff or Snape has no room for beaks), and Robin and James both It's the chosen one.
Many people said that James Potter deserved to die, and even questioned why Lily chose him instead of Snape, but many people said that he was the worst hacked character in Harry Potter. Why? Because he basically only appears in people’s memories, and compared to Sirius, Lupin, and his teacher’s praise and memory, these weak descriptions are far less shocking and convincing than a scene of Snape’s unbearable memories, and how he Come together with Lily? How to show his brave and kind-hearted nature? It is not written in the book, and we don't know, so since then his image as a bully is deeply rooted in people's hearts. People hate him and hate him for bullying our dear professor.
Why is it the second half of James Potter's life? Because for me, Robin's transformation in the movie is exactly what I think James has not seen. In addition to the similar growth background, Robin's personality is also very similar to James,
just like James is the leader of robbers, Robin starts to play the role of leader after entering the forest. They all have the characteristics of being able to lead people by nature. ,
On the other hand, Robin is a prince who has been loved since he was a child. In the film, he and Marian are also childhood playmates, but Marian had no good impressions of him, because in her eyes he was just a spoiled bully, and Isn't the part of James seen by us exactly like this? Lily told Snape that James Potter was just an arrogant guy, and she was disgusted with James at first.
But why did she choose James later? I think just like Marian saw the transformation of Robin, Lily also saw the transformation of James,
which involves the character of the two people. Although they are both spoiled and conceited and naive, they all have the same Innate sense of justice and courage.
James hates black magic. When a friend is killed, he will stand up and die to protect his family when he is killed;
Robin originally wanted to be chopped off for another prisoner at the beginning of the movie, and then returned. Homeland, robbing the rich and helping the poor, leading the masses against Sheriff,
they are passionate and romantic, brave and loyal to their friends. I think the two are very similar, but the book does not show James's side.
But apart from this, James and Robin's evil, bad boy atmosphere should be very popular with women, right?
I'm a professor fan and I have no intention of whitewashing James, but sometimes I can't stand him being overshadowed by some people.
2. The flaws in Sheriff and the movie itself
have been rumored that Alan's role has been cut, because his interpretation overshadowed the protagonist's halo.
I agree, because the story itself is actually an old-fashioned robbery from the rich and the poor, and it is not easy to tell the story well.
In this movie, one of the focus points should be to emphasize the transformation of Robin itself.
Why can a young man who was once arrogant be satisfied with his difficult life today? Marian asked Robin.
However, the transformation of the protagonist has not been well highlighted, because we also don’t know what Robin was like before. He seems to be the incarnation of justice as soon as he appears, bravely leading people to defeat the evil side, Robin treats those green forest companions When I said I Lead you, my thoughts were the same as the little brother who opposed him. I wanted to question why you (though we later learned that this little brother has its own difficulties)?
But when it comes to Sheriff, I have no intention to compare him to Snape. Snape struggles with contradictions in his heart. His emotions and anger are invisible.
On the contrary, Sheriff does not have so many entanglements. He follows intuition and desires. He is happy and angry. On his face, he was a child alive, he was really bad, but he was very simple.
As Alan himself often said in interviews, he is not a bad guy, he just wants to get what they want.
Therefore, when Sheriff, who appeared in front of me with childishness, was tortured, I thought he was real and cute, and at the same time, I didn’t think his evil was so convincing. He could convince me that he should be annihilated, and Robin was just. On that side,
when Sheriff’s background was revealed later, the depth of the role increased. He used to live in lies all his life, and when he forced Marian to marry, what he longed for was pure and simple things. Even if he loves the wrong way, he still never gets the other's love like Snape.
With such a cute and three-dimensional villain, coupled with the pale and weak image of the justice side, it greatly weakens the legitimacy of the justice side. This set of robbery of the rich and the poor does not feel so convincing, even if you know that morally it seems that you should agree with Robin’s. As.
In the end, Alan is really naughty in this movie, just like when watching Die Hard, he doesn't want the villain to be defeated at all.
