Um~ first from hell: I
chose this film for two reasons, one is because of Johnny Depp, the other is because of JTR.
At first I was interested in JTR because of watching the theater version in Conan, and then I was full of foggy London in 1888. Out of curiosity, Jack is an aesthetic killer, just like in "The Da Vinci Code", infiltrated with religion and a perverted loyalty. Although FH is not as suspenseful as the "Da Vinci Code", the route to solve the case is not clear. Perhaps it was because I knew that JTR was a doctor from the beginning, so I focused on JD's acting skills when I saw it. Let’s talk about this film.
At the beginning, JD's eyes were deep in melancholy. Using his "static" eyes to match the constantly flickering picture, there is not much panoramic view, it is more a trace of white light in the dark, or blood in the green of the full screen. The strong color contrast gives a great visual impact.
Many of JD's films have this amazing jumping animation scene. The most impressive thing is the family of three killed in "Guildendron". The light shines through the rotating lights and maps to the strong, one by one, which ingeniously reflects the danger of approaching step by step.
I just read a lot of comments, and I particularly agree with one of them, that is, his description of the relationship between him and the red-haired prostitute is not in place, and it is slightly superfluous. Although the kiss under the bridge is beautiful and makes people jealous, the jealousy makes people crazy.
I have to say, in fact, watching this film again, I really can't appreciate its essence. There are many foreshadowings in it, and these foreshadowings are not understandable under the lens of a flash.
In fact, in the end, I still couldn’t understand a lot of things. For example, after he took opium, he asked himself why there are grapes in his mind, and that grape turned into a heart. The victim relaxes his vigilance, then this grape has no effect in the end.
Look at "Drop Head Valley" again, it is also played by JD, and it is also suspenseful and thrilling. There are still many differences in the style of the picture. The valley of the broken head uses more gray tones, which has a more eerie feeling. The contrasts used are more black and white or red and black, while the "from hell" uses More brown elements. It is more ancient, and the contrast used is more red and green.
From the perspective of the plot, the plot setting in Duantou Valley is more clear and easier to understand; and because of the political and religious factors in FH, it is not as clear through linear thinking as in Duantou Valley.
Continue, watching JD, JD in Duantou Valley is a slightly neurotic, and somewhat timid detective. In FH, JD will undoubtedly express the image of a calm, handsome, and composed man. His face was not as pale as in the valley of the broken head. (It may also be because of the color contrast. As I mentioned earlier, there are more black and white contrasts in the Driftwood Valley.
From the perspective of emotional drama, Driftwood Valley is better than FH. The emotional process in FH is a bit abrupt. It's even more overwhelming. It seems to give people a feeling that these scenes are added just to join this emotional scene. However, if the emotional drama is missing, the whole drama appears incomplete.
From the perspective of the ending, the ending of Duantou Valley seems to be more easily accepted by the public, and the ending of FH, although it is actually the best ending, serene and calm, but I always feel psychologically painful after watching it. But this is also a good ending...
In general, the man johnny depp is very "monster", and people can’t look away from him at a glance. Recently, he has made up several of his films~Slicing the Driftwood and the Ripper Put it together, put the scissors hand and the hairdresser together to see. Then I found out that this man, JD, is really acting like something, so brilliant~
