The first WeChat public account: Film Critic Craftsman
"Angel Has Fallen", as the third part of the comprehensive capture series, has been subjected to many malicious negative reviews and trolls. As a crime film, it is indeed not round enough in terms of plot design, but from the perspective of action films, the level of "Angel Has Fallen" is not lower than the first two films in the series. As for the bodyguard's multiple failures and characterization, it's a bit bloated in the plot design, but the protagonist's aura is shocking.
Director Rick Roman Wolf, although he belongs to the second-rate director in the creative team of action films, his works are remarkable, and the advantages and disadvantages are opposite and distinct. Morgan's performances and editing into the film presented a perfect visual feast for the audience. This article mainly shares some of his own one-sided views on Morgan's grasp of the plot relative to the improvement of his artistic attainments and the director's scheduling and editing of the entire scene for communication.
1. Morgan's tone and bodyguard's halo
Morgan is one of the few people in the American film industry. The "Shawshank Redemption" he participated in has successfully occupied the list of domestic and foreign film and television dramas and has never been surpassed. The evaluation of Morgan from all walks of life, except for the unsightly or seemingly non-existent scandal, is a classic representative and an example of an actor.
In "Angel Has Fallen", Morgan played the President of the United States, and his most outstanding feature in the film is emotion. There are very few actors who complete the narrative with emotions. There is such a funny plot in the film: When encountering an assassination, the bodyguard said, "We're going to act, someone will fall, but you won't." After the voice fell, Morgan's expression almost did not change, but it seemed to have changed. After the second or even third swipe, you could carefully observe that his performance was focused on his eyes.
The light in the eyes is the pinnacle of an actor's performance, and fear, doubt, and overwhelm strike in an instant. For ordinary performers, they would probably think of the fear demonstrated by Stephen Chow himself in Stephen Chow's movie "The King of Comedy". But for the President of the United States, he is not just a social individual, but a centralized representative of the entire country and a collective spirit. I think Morgan thought deeply about this, so this is Morgan's most attractive.
At the same time, if the bodyguard who plays with Morgan does not understand or cannot penetrate the opponent's mind, the performance must be disappointing. As for the plot setting, I also have some thoughts on unreasonableness and loopholes that I would like to share with you.
2. The protagonist has a halo, and the plot is the foundation
There are negative reviews saying: On the drone, the bodyguards were left behind to smear or frame
I want to watch "Falling Angels" carefully, and think about the audience of the whole film's logical setting with a correct attitude. Regarding the plot of the drone, there must be a similar idea to me: the bodyguards are left behind, and the true meaning is to take the blame, and if they go to court, they will undoubtedly be exposed.
There are also negative comments: You are reluctant to board the plane to evacuate because you want to have "love"?
The root cause of the delay in getting on the plane ultimately comes down to the protagonist's sabotage. As a person, that emotion and deep resentment have far exceeded the idea of survival.
Movies, although not reality, cannot be shot independently of human emotions. "Fallen Angel" is not a small film that can't go to theaters, and every plot setting and editing control of his are carefully considered. I dare to say unceremoniously that although the director of "Falling Angels" cannot be said to be extremely good, his talent in film and the talent of his team in film are definitely not comparable to most audiences.
In other words, when we feel that Fallen Angels is unreasonable in some way, the first reaction should not be to criticize the creative team. Instead, reflect on whether you really understand the movie. There is a saying in China, "I examine my body in three ways", which is not without reason. The gap between ordinary movie watchers and movie creators is like one is the creator and the other is a person who has nothing to do with the created. Only by thinking quietly can we have a proper viewing experience.
"Angel Has Fallen" is a work of high quality in the comprehensive capture series. Especially in terms of audiovisual, the experience brought to the audience is of great value, and I recommend everyone to watch it.
