01 The female judge played by Emma Thompson is really beautiful. beyond the constraints of age. The first hour of the movie seems a bit lengthy until White comes along. This actor is really special. He doesn't have a very delicate face, but he is very attractive. The little soldiers of Dunkirk, the young comrades of queer people. He has a neurotic beauty. The queer young comrade, his eighteen-minute monologue, I think he's just talking to me, a little nervous, a little shy, a little sick. This actor should have a bright future. The little boy in the Children's Act is played by him like an angel who has fallen into the world, and it is easy to arouse mother's love. 02 It is clear from the beginning that an excellent original novel may make a TV adaptation a success from the very beginning, but it is far from enough for a movie. Even in the case of adaptations that are generally considered to be "faithful to the original", the transformation from literary language to film language is not as natural as most people imagine: the film is not just a simple presentation and interpretation of the storyline of the novel, but also requires have their own way of expressing themselves. Excellent writers cannot directly become excellent screenwriters. Only the plot, part of the characters and a small amount of dialogue can be directly copied from literature to film. McEwan's meticulous and profound psychological description cannot be directly presented in images, but Its stern and elegant writing—my favorite part—could never be expressed through character dialogue. As such, although the film is almost entirely a copy of the original (the screenwriter is McEwan himself), it is not really faithful to the original to a certain extent, but a weakening of the original, a one-sided, simple introduction. Take the movie adaptation of McEwan's other novel "Atonement" as an example - this Joe Wright's work is a classic that I think can be called "restored the original". The following will be discussed from three perspectives: photography, soundtracking and editing. In order to express the "hottest day of summer" in the novel, photographer Seamus McGarvey and Joe Wright decided to use a thick filter (and, it seems, a veil in front of the camera), to achieve a classical oil painting-like effect. The cinematography of this film is excellent. In addition to the 5-minute Dunkirk long shot that has been analyzed countless times and can be remembered in film history, the lighting of each scene is also extremely elegant and gorgeous, which is in line with McEwan's expressive writing. . Excellent mise-en-scène: The light outlines Briony looking back, turning her back to the crowd as she walks to her own holy heaven, because in her mind she is the one who saved her sister and served justice. The rest of the adults were in the dark. The elder sister was facing Robbie firmly in the center (outside of the camera), clearly stating her position, and did not look back at her sister at all, indicating the break with Briony. The light in turn distinguishes her from the likes of her mother, brother, and police officer, highlighting her protagonist status in the scene. If the photography restores the beauty of McEwan's style, then the gloom and cruelty that surrounds the whole novel is mainly expressed through the soundtrack. The sounds of the piano, strings and typewriter together not only reconcile the sad and beautiful movement, but also create a sense of suspense and calm cruelty. In terms of editing, there are two points worth mentioning from the perspective of the overall narrative structure: First, Briony witnesses the scene by the pool at the beginning. In the novel, it is first narrated from the perspective of Robbie and Cecilia, and then Briony's perspective is written. With the convenience, readers can understand Briony's thinking from the detailed description of her psychology, but this effect cannot be achieved in the film. So the film adjusts the order so that the audience first sees it from Briony's point of view, without being preconceived. The second is the latter part of the film. Robbie witnessed the tragic state of a group of nuns who were massacred in the woods in the war, and then used a poignant movement as a bridge to transition to the memory of Tallis Manor - Briony jumped into the pool Let Robbie save her. It may seem illogical, but this passage follows the original and arguably performs better than the original. The soundtrack plays, as if asking in a low voice: How did all this happen? All this goes back to one summer day of that year, when a child foolishly loved... "How can one understand this child's mind? There is only one explanation..." "He heard—but didn't see—she danced. Into the water..." "Atonement" restores the original in a way that does not respect the original, and perfectly realizes the transformation from literature to film. The war-torn Tallis Manor under Joe Wright's lens is as sad and beautiful as McEwan's writing. Literary language and camera language cannot replace each other generation, but can exhibit the same charm. It's not hard to realize its flaws when you look back at "Children's Act". After reading the original book, you can find that this movie can be called McEwan's movie, and even a TV series is not an exaggeration. Few aspects of the film go beyond the novel, using Bach's music from McEwan's original work, and finally Fiona played the piano at the concert, expressing her subjective shock and trance after hearing the news of Adam's relapse. The paragraphs of the feeling are as if they were shot directly against the book, but they are not as expressive as the text. The whole movie is the opposite of Atonement, the cinematography and script are mediocre across the board, and even the poster is very casual. It's not that it doesn't look good, but it basically doesn't have any ideographic effect. A closer look at the content of some plots shows that the film has many shortcomings compared to the original. For example, in the case of conjoined twins, this case in the novel not only shows that in the conflict between religion and secular morality, the court will stand on the side of secular morality that is more conducive to the well-being of children, but also directly caused Fiona to dislike the body and no longer Reasons for having sex with your husband. The lack of text description in the film only played the first role. Another example is that the movie can roughly show where Adam's feelings for Fiona came from, but Fiona's attitude towards Adam is somewhat difficult to understand. After reading the original book, I suddenly realized that Fiona had fallen in love with a young musician when she was a girl. Although this love full of youthful rebellious enthusiasm finally ended, it still left a memory and shadow of the past in her heart. , the talented and curious Adam reawakened this emotion in her heart. Let’s talk about the changed ending. Frankly speaking, I don’t quite understand the meaning of the end of the film. In the original book, Adam wrote the last verse to Fiona, “May the person who drowned my cross be put to death” is a clear point to Adam. His death was almost suicide, because Fiona had redeemed him from religion, but after making him lose his faith, he kept rejecting his repeated requests for help with indifferent politeness, "and then dived into the icy bottom of the river, never to be heard from again. ”, his suicide may have the element of returning to God without an answer, but it seems to be more disappointment and revenge. The film deleted the poem and changed it to "I will be free", freedom from all the doubts? Or finally understand the naivety of Fiona's complex? In addition to the plot setting of McEwan's original novel, most people in the short review praised the performances of Emma Thompson and Finn. It's kind of like a TV show Features - Create one or two prominent characters and tell a wonderful story with plot twists around them, everything else is just a background board, like a close-up of the characters with a wide aperture. I personally think that there is a gap between whether the image has a so-called "movie feel". Taking "Pride and Prejudice" as an example, the 95th edition of the BBC series and the 05th edition of the film are relatively sophisticated works. When I recall the 95 drama version, the first thing that comes to my mind is the hero and heroine themselves. We praise their performance, and we will remember their interpretation of the classic plots in Jane Austen's book; and for the movie version of 05, I am deeply impressed It is similar to this picture: In many scenes of the film, the character itself can be said to be placed on the canvas as an element of the composition, and the light hitting her is integrated with the surrounding background, which means that the protagonist is Instead of standing in front of the background board to perform a play, it is more realistic to be in that world and become a part of a painting. You can recall some of the movies that have impressed you, and will you find that many of the classic scenes that come to your mind are not just the characters and their actions. Compared with TV dramas, the importance of characters and plots in movies does not occupy such a large proportion. Movies will care about the visual experience of the entire picture and the movement of the picture, and express expressions through this unique channel of images. Express your intentions, not just use lines, characters, and plots to [tell] you a story and what the main idea is. If McEwan makes full use of the unique charm of words, then his films should also have a corresponding audio-visual language to match. Taking the film "Children's Act" out on its own on the basis of no other information, it can be said that it has a good quality - the topics discussed are rich and deep, the structure of the two threads is exquisite, and the characters are intertwined. The conflict between them is very dramatic, the soundtrack is in line with the judge's objective social status and rationality in ideological character, and also strung together the memories of Fiona's husband giving his wife the piano and the plot of the concert. However, if all the advantages of the original book have been included, and it can be better than the movie, then I think that the movie does not have its own value. Three McEwan movies have been released in a row in the past year, but if it can't achieve a little independence like the "Atonement" movie, it can only play a role in promoting McEwan's novels. , Taking "Pride and Prejudice" as an example, the 95th edition of the BBC series and the 05th edition of the film are relatively sophisticated works.
