The opening shots of the changing color of the wind and clouds have already revealed the dark style of the "Order of the Phoenix" movie. Potter's novels have been fully developed in this direction since the beginning of "Goblet of Fire". Anyone who has watched "Goblet of Fire" will understand this. However, director David Yetz seems to have deliberately darkened the style of this movie. After Potter arrived at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, Hermione stretched out her hands to give Potter a warm hug and took it into a horror shot. The determination to make the film exactly as a thriller.
From the perspective of the story itself, the similarity between the movie "Order of the Phoenix" and the novel is at least 90%, and the 130-minute length of the film absolutely cannot contain all the plots in the novel. In terms of the choice of exciting plots, the screenwriters and directors are very careful. While integrating all the essence of the film into the film, they also know how to cut out some plots that make the story verbose, such as the annoying "Prophet Daily" The female reporter issued an article under the threat of Hermione to clarify that Harry did not deceive the plot in the novel, which was happily chopped off by director David Yetz. While cutting off some side branches, David Yetz also made some changes to the original story. For example, the scene of the Weasley brothers setting off fireworks and making a fuss at the school was placed in the examination room. This change is compared with the novel Wei Wei The plot of the fireworks show when the Sly brothers drove Professor Trelawney out of school in Umbridge is even better. The small setting of David Yates makes the examination room a place for students to vent their pressure. Obviously It can resonate with the audience even more. This detail shows how well the director and screenwriter understand the language of the film. The movie sets Zhang Qiu as a traitor who co-located in Dumbledore’s Army stronghold after drinking Veritaserum. For the same reason, cut off the character of Zhang Qiu, the informant student in the novel, not only makes this movie with enough characters more compact. In addition, it also provides opportunities for Zhang Qiu, a character who had no bright spots. These changes reflect the director and screenwriter’s sensitivity to the film’s rhythm and their dedication to the film, and these changes must be recognized by J·K·Rowling. As we all know, Rowling has always required Porter’s films to be loyal to the original work. at this point.
If viewers who have seen novels watch a movie, if they focus on admiring how the actors use techniques and how the director uses camera editing to reflect some meaningful small details, it should be more important than just watching the movie and the novel. Much more fun. The most interesting details in the movie "Order of the Phoenix" are concentrated in the scenes of Little Goldilocks Luna and Potter. Through these plays, it can be seen that the director’s love for Luna’s role is much higher than that of Zhang Qiu, and the role of Luna who originally looked like a silly eldest sister in the novel was turned into the movie by Ivana Lynch, who was acting for the first time. A beautiful girl full of mystery. Several scenes of her and Porter in the movie seem to exist as spiritual mentors or rescuers. For example, when the students' opinions are discussing whether they should learn Defense Against the Dark Arts by themselves, Luna will discuss the whole thing in just one sentence. From whether Voldemort really came back to learn better magic from Potter, the porter played by Daniel nodded to Luna at this time, expressing his gratitude to this girl. These content novels are all involved, but compared to the unintentional words of the silly elder sister Luna in the novel, Ivana’s performance of Luna is more like an intentional relief for Potter, Ivana gave Luna a more A flattering image. Luna's outstanding performance made Zhang Qiu and Ginny even less attractive. The role director of Ginny didn’t give her enough room to grow. However, Zhang Qiu had to complete the role of secretly sending autumn waves, the first kiss with a complicated mood, and the inner pain after being forced to become an informer, because Liang Katimu Na's performance completely buried this role and wasted the good intentions of the screenwriter and director. Fortunately, the spoiling of roles in the whole movie only happened to Katie Liang, other actors, whether it is the heavy-playing Emeda Staunton (Professor Umbridge) or Emma Thompson, who has only a few shots. (Professor of Divination Class Trelawney) and Helena Bohan Carter (Death Eater Bella) both impressed the audience. Helena played Bella into a three-pointer with only a few wild laughs and crazy expressions, and Thompson played Trelawney to life with less than five lines and a pair of big glasses. This is the power of an actor.
The stunt scenes and fighting scenes of "Order of the Phoenix" are made with great care. The big scene of this movie is much more dazzling than Porter's first kiss scene. The most outstanding scene in the fight appeared in the ending scene of the black and white duel of the Department of Mystery Affairs. The director borrows the classic fighting scenes, and then uses more advanced special effects to beautify it, making this scene full of "simple" spells such as "fainting" throughout the novel more beautiful. Porter and Sirius fight together Lucius Malfoy and another Death Eater. The scene where the wands shoot at each other is very similar to the gunfight scene in the western film, and the posture of the two sides using the wands is very similar to Western fencing. In the end, Deng The scene of Blido and Voldemort using magic to fight each other is more like the scene of the Jedi Knights in Star Wars hacking each other with lightsabers. These references and sublimation make this highlight scene brilliant and very exciting.
From the perspective of style positioning, story setting, actor performance, and technical application, "The Order of the Phoenix" should have entered the ranks of great blockbusters. Porter’s growth has made him more attractive, and Porter’s understanding of friendship and love in the film is more educational than the simple children’s adventure stories in the early Porter movies. How old children can’t understand this, parents It should be understood. Don’t forget that this movie is rated PG-13 in the United States. Children need parental guidance. If parents really don’t want to bother to let their children understand these things as soon as possible, then go to "Nobita's Dinosaurs". .
