First of all, we must praise the beautiful scene. I have been disappointed in watching 3D movies in the past few years, and I did not hesitate to watch 2D this time. I didn't expect such a surprise. When I was young, I watched "Gone with the Wind" countless times, silently imagining the smoke and dust of the red land in the southern United States, the old wood-colored town, and the green white manor, all of which are more sighed in this movie. The tragic battlefield, the galloping river valley, the heavy presidential palace, the artistic conception and plot are well integrated. The background premise of the whole movie is ridiculous, but Nuke transfers the scenes very smoothly, with a lot of nostalgic colors, and cleverly incorporates many details that echo before and after, like the blood of the first vampire killing and the ink for writing letters in the next scene. , The knives and forks for dinner and the key silverware of war.
Then there are the powerful actors, the two key vampires, the boss and the leader of the male lead, are all very senior British actors. Needless to say, the acting skills, the aura of the boss, the faculty of the mentor is looming, and all kinds of charm are extraordinary. There is also the classic beauty heroine, who was innocent and innocent chasing love when she was young, and she was sorrowful and indignant when she was middle-aged, and vividly reproduced the image of an American woman in my heart who was brave enough to deal with fate like Scarlett. The male protagonist didn't feel a little prominent when he was young, probably because Lincoln was a gentle person, but when he was middle-aged, his son became depressed and suddenly the acting became lively.
Also, the pace of the movie is very accurate, and the fights almost have the taste of Chinese Kung Fu movies. All kinds of unexpected turns create a natural shock, which makes you always have a sense of anticipation for the next shot. By the way, when I watch slow motion, I always think it's similar to Edward Norton's "The Magician".
As for the plot setting that has been complained about, I think it is acceptable after watching the movie, especially for people who have a little understanding of American slavery. I didn't hear some complicated sentences clearly. If I didn't understand it wrong, the film emphasized that if the freedom and equality of all are not obtained, all of us are slaves, and if we don't fight, we are all demons. Powerful superior resource persons (such as vampires) used fear and so-called balance to subvert the fate of ordinary people in the changes of history. Therefore, Lincoln only struggled with individual vampires for the revenge of relatives and friends in the early stage. Later, he realized that the enemy is not alone. , But the concept and system. So the vampire hunter has something to do with politics.
In short, in the past few years when movies have been frantically adding special effects, it is a pleasant surprise to encounter a film with special effects, plot and editing that are very comfortable. I would like to see the 3D version if I have the opportunity.
