After reading the original novel story in April, I accidentally saw the release of the movie version two days ago, and decided to chase it immediately! After all, there is a Dutch brother and a cute male protagonist with a halo!
Compared with the novel, the movie version really omits a lot of details, although it does not affect the viewing, but because of the lack of character background, there is no depth in portraying the characters. For example, Carl chose to take the road of taking pictures of "models". In the novel, he introduced some situations after his mother fell ill, described his story more concretely, and made the characters more distinct, especially in the novel, the relationship between him and Sandy was described step by step toward death with more words. betrayal.
Seriously, if you haven’t read the novel, in the first 20 minutes, it’s hard for normal viewers to keep reading it. After seeing a lot of barrages at the beginning, they don’t know what the movie is talking about. What... I finally waited until the appearance of the Dutch brother and the gradual development of the plot before the main text began.
Pattinson's character interpretation is remarkable. From the beginning, I was thinking about which character he would play. The last thing I wanted was the priest, because I really hated this priest when I wrote the novel review! But Pattinson's performance made the character more real, especially his tone of voice, which made this annoying scumbag priest even more outrageous, which also explained his acting skills from another angle.
Going back to the comments on the story, The Devil All the Time, after watching the movie, some points about faith and religion may be clearer. As an atheist, there is no way to empathize with the blind faith of the priest and Willard, but it seems Extremely depressing. Ohio really seemed like a deserted place in those days.…
Overall, the actors' acting skills are collectively online, but there is always something missing... There is no special account of the character background, whether it is the killing or the final confrontation, it is not as tense and enjoyable as imagined.
