First come up and give the conclusion: This movie can be ranked in the top 5 of the movies I have seen.
The last time I was amazed by this type of film was 16-year-old Lobster, and I have been fascinated by cult films ever since. but the cult category is too complicated, many of them are scary, bloody and weird movies
I think a really good movie is that even though the appearance is an ordinary story, the details of the story make people reflect and think deeply. More... the feeling of watching the original film is completely different from the commentary
Let's get back to the topic and explore what's so good about this movie.
Now let's talk about the audio-visual angle of the surface layer.
The color and saturation of the movie's picture are very impressive, and the style of the picture is more like a lobster and the Grand Budapest Hotel. The age and costumes of the characters described in the film are similar to those of the British aristocracy in the 19th century. A large number of architectural and landscape pictures (stolen several screenshots!!) are inserted into the film's plot to indirectly express the feelings of the characters and enhance the atmosphere. Advance the development of the plot. What impressed me most was the maze chase at the beginning. Also, the special effects of the monsters are highly praised. The flea as big as a goat is really disgusting to me, and a terrible monster on the mountain behind also frightens me a lot. Put it on show. And it is really surprising that this film, which obviously relies on plot to win, pays so much attention to audio-visual effects. It is really surprising that the strength can deduce what it means to be able to rely on the face to eat but to strive for talent. (Not many people have seen this film??? What a pity, what a pity)
And then there's the best part of the movie. To be fair, at the beginning of the first story, I thought it was the most exciting because of the length of time it took up, but I didn't understand what it wanted to express when I saw it at the end (just brotherly love???)...
So I decided to tell the story of the latter two, which became more and more amazing and reversed a lot. In terms of plot, this movie can be completely unconventional, and you have absolutely no idea how the story will develop. Take the story 2⃣️, which I think is unbelievable. After the princess married a troll and was abducted to the mountain, I saw the handsome boy who looked like Sweet Tea walking on a tightrope to rescue the princess and cut the rope and fell to her death. When I got the troll plot, my inner os was "It really is an old-fashioned plot. The princess and the handsome little brother have lived a happy life since then."
And the scene where the little brother of the princess and the little brother of his mother's family were having a good time in the carriage once made me think I guessed right, but I was only complacent for a second, and the mad monster came in and strangled the two of them directly and it was a cruel headshot. ! There wasn't much fighting, and people died quickly. I think the sense of oppression, tension and excitement brought about by this form of expression is comparable to that of playing 5 minutes slowly in China. You thought this was over? That's right, I thought so too. I thought the ending was that after killing the handsome little brother's family, the princess still couldn't escape the clutches of the trolls, especially when I saw her submissively lying in the arms of the trolls, I strengthened myself even more. judgment. So, I was slapped in the face again, and I was stunned at the moment when the princess quickly pulled out her knife and killed the troll. (Actually, these plots are quite ordinary, but they control the rhythm well, and the tension is raised. There is absolutely no plot, a tight sense of rhythm, and many reversals make the viewing experience reach its peak)
In addition to enhancing the plot interest and excitement through reversal, the film also uses a lot of contrasting irony to deepen the idea.
In the second story, the princess was originally doted on by herself, and usually only loves to play the piano, listen to love novels, and long for a brave, strong and handsome prince to marry her. She got off the troll's head and returned to the palace covered in blood. Her eyes were icy cold, and there was nothing more innocent and lively under the protection of the king. And the most ironic point is that her yearning for love at the beginning, her desire to get out of the city wall to marry and the subsequent escape and disgust to go home formed a stark contrast. A little sad and helpless, it just insinuates that many things in life are so eager to look forward to at the beginning, but in the end it is those things that cause the deepest pain to me, and nothing more than that. In this story, the image of the king also insinuates those arrogant frogs at the bottom of the well, who think that their pet lice are strange things that no one can guess, so they make a bet on the most important life event of their daughter, just for the sake of Satisfy your own vanity, and finally slap in the face, causing tragedy. And this also shows that he doesn't love his daughter so much and doesn't want her to leave him at all. In the end, it was done. Even if the princess threatened him by jumping off the building, he still cared more about his dignity and false sense of responsibility as a king (hehe, it is the king's sense of responsibility for this kind of thing. He was busy making fun of lice before, and the people below need it urgently. I don’t even sign the material allocation for my daughter, the safety of my daughter’s people is not as good as a louse? Full irony)
Story 3⃣️ is also very interesting. The king fell in love with an old witch (singing) and wanted to be recruited into the palace. He also sent someone to send treasures to her house. Unexpectedly, a pair of old twin witches lived here. The younger sister grabbed the jewelry first and wore it for a long time, and only let the elder sister wear it for a while and hurriedly took it off and kept it for herself. At this moment, the king came over, and they couldn't go out to see him. If they did, they would deceive the king and would be punished. At this time, the younger sister pushed the elder sister out and asked her to replace her. Sure enough, after being in the dark for a long time, the king turned on the light and saw that he had slept with an old witch. A fantastic thing happened, she was caught by a net, and a passing mage gave her a trick, turning her into a young and beautiful beauty in her 20s, who happened to be brought back to the palace to marry by the king who was hunting and passing by. Be a princess. Seeing this, I also feel that this seemingly magical plot is actually very common in reality. It's just a different shell. The person is still the same person, and can be treated with a completely different attitude. The severity of appearance anxiety in modern society and the strength of this film's satire complement each other. What soul, thought, character, is better than having a beautiful body. When they got married, my sister did not forget to invite her sister to say that she would cover her and let her live a good life in the future, and also told her her secret. It is in contrast to the selfish behavior of my sister who monopolized jewelry and made her a scapegoat before. In the end, because the younger sister also wanted to become younger like her elder sister, she had someone help her to change her skin, and the picture of her body covered with blood and disfigurement was also shocking, which corresponds to the tragic case of disfigurement in modern society due to the perverted obsession with beauty and plastic surgery addiction...
Overall, this is really one of the few movies I've seen in recent years. It made me have a lot of thoughts to write before I finished watching the movie. After watching it, I have a bunch of thoughts. piece. (And I found a magical phenomenon. It seems that the movies that I think are extremely good-looking are extremely unpopular... When I watched The Lobster, Moon, and No Name in high school, these basically belonged to the cold movies among the cold movies, and they have become popular in recent years ( ?)I do not know either……)
5555 still don’t want good films to be buried (7.5 is too low? …………)
