The epitome of thriller

The debut is the level of a master. Generally, there are two situations. One is that the director has made this film all his life, and he strives for perfection. On the shoulders, the Coen brothers belonged to the latter. But it is completely different from Ning Hao, who was born in China. Ning Hao completely copied Hollywood, while the Coen brothers belong to the kind of pioneering characters. I watched "Blood Labyrinth" entirely because of last year's "Three Guns Shooting the Action Surprise". When I first heard about the name, it felt very quaint, but I didn't expect Zhang Yimou to make it so nondescript. Although I haven't watched "Three Guns", I can't help but say it's a piece of shit. Zhang Weiping, the producer of "Three Guns", said, "After the filming, we invited a group of post-90s generation. After watching the particularly exciting discussion, they said a lot of things that even you film reporters could not think of." You said that this group of people are resting on their laurels to such an extent, what good movies can they make? Recently, I listened to Jay Chou's new song "Cross-Era", and it actually added non-mainstream elements. Jay Chou has been around for nearly 30 years, and he is still tinkering with such youthful things, which is really worthless. The reason why Luo Binwang is said to be one of the four heroes of Tang poetry in the early Tang Dynasty is not only because he wrote such masterpieces as "Yong Goose" when he was young, but also because his thoughts did not stay at the stage of singing goose all the time.


But Zhang Yimou still did something useful. With such a piece of shit for comparison, we can also know what a master is a master.

The pace of "Blood Labyrinth" is very slow, so slow that even if you fast-forward, you won't miss any dialogue and plot. This is very different from the fast pace of traditional Hollywood, so people who are used to watching Hollywood may feel very uncomfortable. Not used to it. I still remember that there were long black screens at the beginning and middle of "21st Century A Space Odyssey". Master Kubrick didn't care about losing the audience because of these black screens. This kind of charm can only be stopped by the mountains. It is precisely because of this that "Blood Labyrinth" has the explosive power and dialogue that ordinary movies do not have. The reason is very simple, it is precious because it is young. If your film is full of gunfights and horror scenes, your film will basically have no horror at all. Because the direct cause of people's fear is the rapid heartbeat, pupil enlargement, sweating and other reactions caused by the increase of adrenaline secretion, but the increase of adrenaline has a certain limit, regular stimulation, the body is afraid of horror The reaction is numb. But not all directors have this ability to play with slow rhythm, just like a man who cherishes words like gold may not necessarily be a blockbuster. It may be a classic sentence that I hold back for a long time, but it may also be a fart. Therefore, the fast pace has become the choice of the public, because many details of the fast pace can be ignored, and many defects in the basic skills can be covered up. For example, online novels now have millions of words, a large number of code words, and many problems of ability can be covered up. What a genius and an idiot can write completely may have the same look and feel. To read such a large amount of novels, you have to be fast, so the details don't matter here. On the other hand, online novels are no different in terms of plot. The works of geniuses and idiots often look almost the same.


The location of "Blood Maze" is Texas in the United States, which is a good sunny place. At the beginning of the film, there is a close-up shot of a pile of oil tadpoles, which is one of the symbols of Texas, just like in Shanxi Saw a lot of small coal mines. I was particularly fascinated by the Texas accent of the fat detective in the film. It was an ambiguous and bohemian accent. It was fun and ghostly, and the colloquial English in the text sounded full of life and was definitely different from ours. Usually said "hello i am Han Meimei". When mraty snapped his finger by abbey and told the detective to ask him to do something, the detective said, "Will, if the pay is right and legal i`ll do" and when Marty told him it wasn't legal, he said "Will, pay is right i will do". The fat detective is the most important character in the movie. His role in the play is like the coordinate system that must be established first when doing math problems. The coordinate system itself has no meaning, but with the coordinate system, the relationship between points, lines and surfaces can be At a glance.


The music in Blood Labyrinth is the kind of jazz that is played in American bars, and there is a very cheerful melody that is used from beginning to end and is also used as the ending song for the movie. It turns out that I never read the ending subtitles when I watch a movie, but when I watched this movie, I couldn't bear to leave for a long time, because the music is really charming, and the explosive ending of the film needs music to ease it. This melody has a very strong drum beat from beginning to end, as if it is beating the offensive drums for the characters in the play.


Finally, let's talk about the most important prop in the play - abbey's silver diamond pistol. The development of the plot always revolves around the pistol. The fat detective stole the pistol and wanted to blame abbey. After Ray saw the pistol, he misunderstood the pistol, and abbey finally killed the fat detective with the pistol. Every appearance of a pistol is a turning point, which means a big change in the plot. It seems very appealing to use some kind of prop throughout the filming method, because it can simplify the complex plot. When people watch a movie, they don't have to worry about guessing the director's intention, and they can often feel the charm of the movie more easily.

    The lens of this film is really great! The picture and soundtrack are also very good! The calm and calm narrative style, the dark and thrilling story style, and the warm black humor in the process of coldly revealing human nature. The first work of the Coen brothers reveals such a strong personal style, which is really loved!

  • Meurice: Howdy stranger.

    Ray: Meurice. Sorry I didn't show last night.

    Meurice: Wasn't too busy. You missed a good one, though. This white guy walks in about one o'clock, asks if we have a discount for alcoholics... I tell him to get lost, but Marty's sitting here listening and I can tell he's thinking that maybe it ain't such a bad idea.

  • Marty: [looking at a doctored photo of Ray and Abby] Dead?

    Private Detective Visser: So it would seem.
