If you don't talk about the actors or the camera, you can say how bad the script is.
As a film party who has not read the original work, you should be a good actor at 20,000. The director is really not suitable for you.
The influence of the script of this play on the play can be reduced to no point.
First of all, the perspective is confusing, and the NPC perspective is still stuck in the opening twenty minutes. As a TV series, the best opening time has been wasted. Then it cuts into the Seymour perspective. I can understand that the director wants to express as much content as possible in the limited space. Not only do I want to show the social conflict between the Vietnam issue during the Nixon period and black discrimination against blacks, but I also want to show the harm of merry's radicalism to the people around her and herself, and I want to make the film a pseudo-documentary about the male lead's life. I can't chew more than I can chew, and the result is that there is no clear expression at all.
On the surface, the film mainly talks about Seymour's life, but it is actually the destructive damage to the family caused by the incorrect values that merry grew up with. In other words, although the main point of view is Seymour, but the dominant is merry. However, the development of merry's character in the film, the conflict with his mother, and his distorted feelings for his father were only mentioned in the film. As you can see from the minutiae, merry's tragedy can even be traced back to her mother's participation in a beauty pageant. The series of butterfly effects caused by the beauty pageant is the tragedy of this family. It is a pity that although the film tells the audience these details, it is either insufficient or the time is wrong. The previous story was not clearly explained, and the whole story is in a state of high-level construction. And in order to try to prove that this is Mr Seymour's life, merry went offline for a long time.
Family-oriented films, family members and member relationships are the main components. However, in this film, the interactions between merry and his father, father and mother, and merry and mother seem to be in pairs, failing to form a stable triangular relationship. Corresponding to the clear main line of merry and his father, the relationship between merry and his mother is an important factor affecting the formation of merry's initial values, but it is not mentioned at all.
The director wants to use Seymour to control the whole play, but now it seems that it is just a threading role, but unfortunately it has become a collection of big events. A biography of a character, the characters are not full and the plot is piled up with big events, is itself a failure.
The plot of the whole film is made up of major events, but the director is very concerned about the actors' acting skills, lines, performances and drama conflicts, and wants to show forbearance and depression. The performance in the finished product is that Shakespeare-style recitation and slow acting skills, everyone acts Not in a hurry. The film loses a lot of the dramatic conflict it should have.
The script is so bad that I don't care about the language and editing of the camera.
20,000 promise me to go back to be your actor, okay? (What can I do, I'm desperate too)
