After the crime theory storm blew up again in Hollywood a few years ago, there were two films of this type on the screen last year, which brought us a different feeling of "prison break". ". The two films had the world's top actors carrying the flag at the same time, and the release schedules were the same, and a fierce box office battle was launched.
I don't know how to manage a successful film review, but I will follow my inner feelings and write the most authentic after-view. Because it is an afterthought, if you are interested in reading this article, you may wish to start with the film, maybe you will have more experience than me, so as to communicate. This time, I will omit the brief introductions of the two films, and discuss these two similar-looking films from another perspective.
Since there's Sam Rockwell in Conviction, an actor I've been loving lately, I'll start with Conviction. First of all, this is a film that is changed by real people and real events, which is more precious than commercial propaganda, and will make people more immersed in the experience of the heroine Betty (Hilary Swank Hilary Swank As a two-time Oscar winner for Best Actress, her personal charm and performance style must be unique, which is vividly reflected in this film. This film has a strong spine supporting the whole film, which is its script. The importance of the script in a movie will be reflected in more suitable actors. On the contrary, if you also want to win the Oscar, you need to do it. A lot, but go find a good script first. The script of "Three Days of Dangerous Love" is also very good, but if it is compared with "Conviction", it will pale in comparison. Limited by the script, the film is more inclined to complement the picture, as well as the suspense in the plot, and the overall strength is still good. There is also a super strong cast, escorted by big names such as Elizabeth Banks, Liam Nesson (one of my most admired British actors), and Russell Crowe is also very familiar with his acting skills. I admire the director's Skill, how to allocate scenes, and making a good movie are also a director's lifelong homework.
The story of "Conviction" touched me, and for a very important reason, it was true. It is the truth of the story and the truth of the actors, so the feeling is real. I like this kind of willingness to restore events and find movies that can touch the hearts of audiences. This type of film does not require excessive pursuit of artistic effects, nor does it satirize social morals, but it is not easy to restore the truth. The story of the film revolves around family affection, which can be said to bring some comfort in the real life lacking miracles. Because of a ridiculous misjudgment, Kenny stayed behind the thick wall for 18 years, from despair to hope. Hope, hope is shattered, and then come out of despair, just watching the film can bring such a big shock to people. In reality, Kenny's perception may have already surpassed what we can think of (excuse me, I saw it at the end of the film) Real photos, I just want to say... buddy... It seems that the food in the number is still good). Ordinary me, ordinary life, family affection is not very important, but the relationship between Betty and Kenny is extremely strong, which has surpassed love and friendship. The ordinary me used to be as important as family affection. . There must be some people who cry when they watch a movie, because the movie accidentally touches their hearts and evokes memories. I think this one will be no exception. Zeng Jin they have resisted their fate, endured the torment of their bodies and minds, and they are exhausted. They didn't even have the strength to raise their heads, their eyes were bloodshot, and their faces were blue. I think after many years, when I understand the family relationship more deeply, or I encounter setbacks on the way there, I should watch this movie again, because I am a human being and I like to find my own in other people's stories. way out.
Well, let's talk about the film "Three Days of Dangerous Love", a remake. The rhythm of the film is obviously much tighter than that of "Conviction", because the two films have different things to show the audience. But having said that, the viewing process can really bring back the feeling of lying in bed while watching "Prison Break" one, two, three, four, interlocking, always when you are about to be caught, you find that something is missing. But your captors always arrive after something like that reappears. The focus of the film is the exchange of eyes between the two people, the tacit understanding of mutual trust, no matter how good the stunts are, no matter how spectacular the scenery is, if there is no emotion, no one will like it. I can't imagine if one day we are too busy, already I have no time to pay attention to the emotions in the movie, and spend money just to find visual stimulation. In fact, the script of this film is really good, it's just that "Conviction" is too convincing. In the film, John (Russel Crowe) said something to his wife that moved me: "Because I know who you are, I will never believe you will kill, and I will not let you spend time in prison. A lifetime!" This sentence carries a lot of weight, and it takes a lot of courage to say it, so let the viewers experience the various commitments and hatreds in it. The speeding shot at the end of the film is the most powerful anti-physical phenomenon. You must know that if you are caught by the police, you will go back to the prison together and leave the child alone, but if you don’t go back, you may disappear when your son grows up. But often we make the simplest decision in the most complex situation, a simple decision that cannot be simpler. The ending of the film is accompanied by my contemptuous sigh, and I finally found an outlet for my thoughts. Although I always thought it was not the person who Laura killed, there is no hint about the real murderer, and no reasonable explanation can be found (the criminal, even if it is not the real murderer, It is also unacceptable to abscond), the appearance of the button made all this logical, and also took away the last trace of guilt in my heart with the sewer.
What I also want to say is that I am not a person who is good at writing comments, so what I wrote is just my own feelings, not to mention any technicality. Everyone’s experience and living environment are different, which makes the Everyone sees things differently, I'm just one of them.
