"Knife Out of the Sheath" tells the story of generations of Americans themselves

First of all, I am not a professional film critic. This time Chunchun was applying for Daniel and wanted to try his luck. I was really lucky in the end. The following are my superficial impressions. 1. Lens technique: Let’s talk about the filming technique. The movie uses the American tones of the 1990s to show the audience, like Renoir’s color paintings. The style of realism gives the audience a true and credible feeling that the paintings are created with oil and canvas, just like the logical reasoning of a movie, knowing that it is a movie, or it gives people a sense of truth and credibility. The director has a solid foundation, and many shots reveal the language of the shots intentionally or unintentionally. What makes me more profound is: 1. When Daniel first appeared on the stage, the camera was looking up, shooting from bottom to top sitting next to the piano. Throughout the whole article, there are two people who are treated for this treatment, and Daniel is one of them. There is one at the end of the movie. This is undoubtedly a hint to the protagonist, implying that this is a pure suspense detective film. 2. When Marta gave the rich man an injection, he captured the picture of the old man and the dagger. Something bad was expected to happen. Turning to the second shot, Marta told the old man that he had the wrong medicine. Returned to the West. In the end, it was the dagger that the old man used to commit suicide. 3. In addition, all the suspects were sitting back in front of various daggers on a wall during the questioning. These daggers were arranged 360 degrees, all the blades pointed to the center, what is this center, donut center of? Or is it the purpose of those family members? Father's assets? Or does it mean that Marta is the bull's-eye, and all the knives come from the old man's family? These kinds of explanations are possible, or there are other deep-seated metaphors. I am limited in my ability, so I will not discuss it anymore. I just want to explain one problem, that is, every scene in the movie has its meaning, and more meanings will be waited until Continue to explore the second brush. Story structure: A general detective movie is nothing more than two parts. One is the motive before the murderer commits the crime, and the other is the detective decryption link after the murderer commits the crime. The difference in this movie is that the director seemed to give the audience a lot of hints at the beginning, suggesting that so-and-so was the murderer because he had enough motives for committing the crime. Another example is the daughter-in-law Joni who ate both ends of her granddaughter's alimony, but was discovered by the old man, and they all lied during the police's questioning. The grandson's beauty team quarreled before the old man was dying, and then let out ruthless words and rushed out. So all four have a certain motive for killing, Let the audience quickly develop their brains and analyze who is the murderer, but as the plot unfolds, one thing is slowly revealed, and the final ending turned out to be that there is a Donar Circle in the original Donar Circle. While giving the answer, let the audience admire the screenwriter's imagination. 3. Film casting: As everyone knows, Double O Seven is a pure-bred Englishman. To decide a case with these self-righteous wealthy people requires not only extraordinary courage and great intelligence, but also the aristocratic temperament of the British as a judge. Everyone knows that the rich Americans have everything and lack everything, but what they lack is aristocratic temperament. This is why the rich and oily American tycoons after World War II like to marry the poor aristocrats of the British who clashed after World War II. . Only such a gentleman with blond hair and blue pupils can stand in front of a black sheriff and a white boy, and order these rich people, hello! You have to stay, I have something to ask you! Whoever, you can leave now. As for why the beauty pageant came to play a swinger brother, I have reservations. I believe that the US team represents the American spirit and represents justice and freedom. But when Evans is mentioned, the first reaction is that this is the US team, freedom and justice. Barra, from Evans's point of view, the Little Black Hawks took over the shield of the US team, and what about Evans? Cut, no acting, he needs a thorough change of heart to let the audience know that Evans is not only a big guy in a blue, red and white uniform. Another metaphor, I will try to interpret it in the next paragraph. 4. Movie metaphor: This movie should be said to have four generations in the same house, plus a Mexican. Grandma, the whole story is 100 years old and upwards. There are not many lines in the whole story. There are only a few shots, a few expressions and single-digit lines. It seems the most confused, but she is the person who understands the most psychologically. The rich man is also her son who is nurtured to become a talent. It is indispensable, but the whole story is the least. It is the most suitable to compare her to an angel, or God. It seems casual, but he looks at the whole thing and the situation of the family from the perspective of God. Obviously, this can be seen from the smile of grandma in the last shot. She knew the truth about the ending early. Next is the generation of the old man, which symbolizes the generation that the United States has struggled with. This generation has created value. In both wars, the world economic system was a strong generation, and they were the best in the world. And his next generation is the generation of the US team’s mom and dad. Although they work very hard, they eat the old man’s old bottom. Although they all say that they are self-made, for example, Bill Gates sells newspaper stories. The next generation is the US team, which is completely eating the old bottom. Of course, the father did not want their children to be like this all the time. He made the money to kick the second son from the company and no longer give his daughter-in-law the second head. He warned his daughter and son-in-law. Cheating. But none of these actions can complete their idea of ​​killing people, because they still have financial resources. But the U.S. team is different. When he told the U.S. team, he couldn’t get it from him

Because the US team represents the American spirit! The American spirit has changed from the original justice and freedom to the laziness, greed, arrogance and self-righteousness of today. Finally, when they saw the American team (now the American spirit) being pushed into the police car by the police, they could only look up at a Mexican immigrant who occupied their own home (this is the second time looking up at the camera, the first is looking up at the British). The excitement to the Chinese audience is not great, but if the person watching the movie is a Yankee, it will be self-evident. After all, their country will be occupied by illegal Mexican immigrants that they once looked down on... With such an ending, the director warned Americans today that if you don't work hard and don't be vigilant, you may not have your donuts tomorrow.
