Ang Lee is still like a person who eats crabs for the first time
Lao Wei, an invincible killer who has been a bachelor for half his life, was woken up by a sudden alarm sound in the middle of the night, and found that someone broke into his house and wanted to kill him. Lao Wei was stunned. He thought about two questions: 1. What did I do wrong? 2. Who dares to kill me?
The routine of a genre film basically starts with a sudden crisis. This is to attract the audience as soon as possible. If the audience wants to know what caused the crisis, they will follow the protagonist on an adventure. In a typical movie, to show what happened before these crises, the director has to use flashbacks frequently. But watching the entire movie, it's hard not to notice that this is a movie with almost no flashbacks throughout.
Amazing, Unbelievable.
The reason is also simple. The past will involve Lao Wei in the past. For example, when Lao Wei was 20 years old (let's call him Serena for now), Serena came out of the slum at that time and was guided by the big Boss, and embarked on the road of murder. , This experience is too important for the shaping of this character, but who will play this person, or is it artificially synthesized? Do you want to make a distinction between this person and the young Cloneway who has already appeared, so that the audience can tell who is who?
After thinking about it, I can't act. Not acting anymore. So all the protagonist's past experiences are explained by lines, so we know a little of his life experience from the mouth of Lao Wei's former colleagues, and a little bit from the mouth of the big Boss, Lao Wei himself shouted and shouted with Clooney in the cave Talked a little, then calmed down and talked a little bit to Cronway in the car
I don't believe that the director's original intention was just to experiment with high frame rates. In the cave fighting scene in this film, although netizens criticized it for being too dark to see clearly, the two protagonists are both fighting their own fears, the old protagonist. Afraid of the water, the young protagonist is afraid of looking in the mirror. This was originally an inward drama, but at such a moment, the actor found that there were two more lines in his script to say.
Treat movie actors as drama actors. Will Smith is tired, really tired, I didn't want to take this drama. I just saw that there was a young me in the script, and I thought that I could bring my son to play, but my son didn't bring it, so I got three lunch boxes.
It's a pity that this is not a drama, the actors just shouting out the lines is enough to shock people. Moviegoers doubt everything unless the real details are presented to them. When they walked out of the movie theater, they were still not convinced that the villain really had a fatherly love for the clones, and Lao Wei really felt uneasy about the blood on his hands. Ang Lee doesn’t know that this is something that can be explained in a few shots, just to give way to 120 frames and real-life synthesis technology, and the reliability of narrative has been abandoned. This is not the pursuit of film technology, but the pursuit of film technology. compromise.
