In addition to Dali’s artworks, this work also reminds me of a book-"Alice in Wonderland", and a movie-(silently wear a helmet and bulletproof vest) "Wuji ".
I think of "Alice in Wonderland" because it is the same as this movie, there is no logic between the plots, but Alice and the rabbit who looks at the pocket watch all the time pushes her and pulls her to lure her through After passing ridiculous and interesting stories, drinking the medicine that will make the assembly smaller, encountering the caterpillar who smokes the hookah, and the queen of poker, although the dream is crazy and illogical, there is consistency, at least curious, The image of brave and kind-hearted Alice is recognized and remembered by readers.
However, in this movie, no character's image is clear.
Dr. Parnassu, what should you say about him? A monk who loves to bet, because he fell in love, he exchanged his youth with the devil for his future children. He kept on trying to save his daughter, but at the last moment he chose to get drunk to escape... Valentina, the name is "Strong" and "vigorous" mean, it's a pity that this little girl is not only ill-fated, but also has no intention of fighting for her own destiny. You said she loves Tony, I can't tell, she loves her father, it doesn't seem to be ( At least I haven't looked for him after I left)...
Anton's face is still clearer. Of course, he loves Valentia. If he doesn't say it, it can be interpreted as "shy", but his personality is really naive. Tony is the only acceptable character, because he has three faces, which can reasonably explain his half-heartedness towards Valentina and deception of Parnassu, but at the same time he did some good things (at least helped Parnassu win a few souls). The
character image is blurred. 'S movies generally sacrifice the time to shape the characters to complete the plot. But as mentioned in the previous article, this film does not have a "plot" at all. Although the setting is a bit of Faust, the process has no ups and downs. There are many details-such as the chain on Valentina's feet-are unclear. And the old man Parnassu's past is a mess, just like listening to a drunkard telling a story. This may be regarded as a style, but I personally cannot accept this kind of chaos.
I think of "The Promise" because there are many deliberately arranged jokes in the film-for example, Parnassu asked Tony to put on a strange hat and pretend to "perceive" his name, while Tonny also held Valentina in his hand to call him the death of plucking hair. Chicken-but no one laughed in the theater (it is not my laugh point). "The Promise" is serious from beginning to end, but the audience feels that Yi is deliberately telling cold jokes. "I want to play humor but the audience does not laugh" and "I want to play cool but the audience laughs" are actually the same problematic. And both movies have a "surreal" setting, but how to say this, China has the tradition of martial arts movies, plus those BT plots themselves are set to happen in reality, so "Promise" looks like You don't know whether he should be regarded as "unique and creative" or "sharp style". As for foreign countries, at most there are Grimm's fairy tales, and there is a "mirror" to block one block, which shows that behind the mirror is a "choice question of desire", so no matter how tossing, you can also use "imaginary world without limits". past. But that is, since it is already an imagination, since there is no limit, since such exaggerated colors have been used, and the situation that would only appear in fairy tales, why not simply exaggerate it a little more? Simply think over a little bit more? Simply crazy?
So this question I asked about "The Promise", I will ask TG classmates again here-it's already like this, why don't you just do it to the end? London, the caravan, and the devil’s bet are all such stories. Why did you make it into an abridged version of "The Grimm's Fairy Tales" instead of just telling everyone to read the original version? ——If you use 2D to do those scenes, it can be called "don't be new", and you can't do anything in 3D! This is not a technical problem, but a problem of ideas.
I originally went to JD, but Ya only showed up for about 5 minutes, and from a certain angle, he looks like Heath Ledger~~~ It’s just that the accent came out and I was a little depressed (why Tony In addition to changing the face, even the accent has to be changed to an American style...) And the Tony who plays the most role in addition to the original Tony is actually Colin Farrel, is this a god horse? There is physiological resistance to his face)!
I think the director deliberately told the actors to act hysterically as much as possible, and they didn't follow common sense. But this is also stuck in the middle-of course, it is a lot more dramatic than ordinary movie performances, completely unnatural, but it is worse than the real stage play, and it is not exaggerated enough. TG classmate’s profile says that he is British (frowning, I always think of him as an American), so if you haven’t eaten pork, you should have seen a lot of pigs run away. "If that's the case, the level shouldn't be the same.
