must first be injustice for Edgar Allan Poe. Every time this person is mentioned, we must first cherish the memory. Now we know the world's famous people. Detective novelists, horror novelists, thriller movies, horror movies, suspense movies, etc. all of them have a common "father", that is Edgar Allan Poe, and this article is also written to emphasize this Poor genius,
let me give you an example of an irreplaceable position in the history of literature and human history. We all like to watch "Detective Conan". Conan's full name is Edogawa Conan. Conan knows that it is the author of Sherlock Holmes, Conan Road. Er, Edogawa is the surname of Edogawa Ranpo, the pinnacle of modern Japanese detective novels. Conan Doyle and Edogawa Ranpo, two peaks living in different countries, different eras, and different cultural backgrounds, both recognize the same ancestor, Edgar Allan Poe, and Edogawa Ranpo made his debut. The pseudonym at the time was Edgar Allan Poe. At the same time, Hitchcock, Tim Burton, Baudelaire, etc., have also expressed their admiration and memory for Edgar Allan Poe in public. There is still a detective novel contest named after Edgar Allan Poe in the United States
. Let’s talk about this first, let’s talk about the director of this film
is James McTegg, the director of “V for Vendetta”. I like V very much. I don’t know if it’s intentional or a mistake for the shape of this film. When John Cusack
appeared, it made me feel like Nicolas Cage. Even in the later performances, his facial expressions that did not change very much made people feel Edgar Allan Poe, who deeply misunderstood
history, was a poor man, his wife died of illness, and he was impoverished all his life. The background of the birth of "Black Cat" was when he could not afford the winter, and this film also realized this, and mentioned things such as: Edgar Allan Poe is a sensitive and pitiful person. His wife died of illness, and he did not dare to face his life and feelings. He was depressed and used alcohol to drown his sorrows, and his face was always morbidly pale. wait on a park bench
But Edgar Allan Poe in the movie, as if these tragedies have nothing to do with him, from the plot setting, the director and screenwriter realized that Edgar Allan Poe should be a hopeless person; Tragic and painful, just to say, in other words, maybe it's Nicolas Cage, and he was out of Las Vegas at that time. It's really like Edgar Allan Poe. Here is
Jules Verne mentioned in the first major breaking point in the plot narrative. In the end, the villain really went to Paris, which is ambiguous. The literary world in the later period has always believed that Verne's leader was Edgar Allan Poe, and Verne himself admitted that he was influenced by Edgar Allan Poe's sci-fi Gothic style. The two grew up in the same period, and Edgar Allan Poe's creation slightly earlier than Verne. The description here and the final direction, as well as the comparison between the villain and Edgar Allan Poe, are they trying to explain? These two people are just a relationship of influence and being influenced in a simple sense. Is it the author's overheartedness or a deliberate
plot On, the villain made a collection of Edgar Allan Poe's detective novels and set up a series of murders, emphasizing that it is a detective novel, and there are no other Gothic ones. So the directors and screenwriters began to restore the novel, including scenes and some details. But sadly, the villain has become an image of a genius, the great detective Edgar Allan Poe and the male supporting characters have become idiots who are led by the nose, and every clue is so straightforward, just put it upright There, turning the detection process into a novel has become a problem that everyone cares about. The fault
lies in the fact that at the last moment, Edgar Allan Poe is dead. Although some people want to have a lover to be married, the historical fact is not like this, and there is still no respect for the past. change. It's just that the villain was killed suddenly. At that time, the train ticket and ferry ticket should not be a real-name system. Then, what is the reason for the male supporting actor to be smart? This is a problem
. The suspense of this film is obviously not enough. Everything is It can be judged in advance, but it should not affect the expression of this film. It is obvious that some of the film's budget is not enough, the scene is single, and it is to die for death. Apart from being led away by the male protagonist and the supporting cast, the audience also has a sense of powerlessness in the plot. The only way to get rid of it is to read Edgar Allan Poe's novels while watching the movie
. It is worth affirming that this film is full of respect for Edgar Allan Poe. This time, I revealed my memory of such a tragic figure. It seems that this style is very popular recently, "Hugo" or something
Another point is that it is a bit far-fetched. The more I watch this film, the more I feel that the French style is not the British style, and it is not the American style that it should have.
