【Promised Land】
#Original. The most spoiler movie review, haha! Continue to work overtime after writing.
#This is a film with no violence, no porn, no drugs, no guns, but the contradictions of the plot clues are just as nerve-wracking.
#The modern large-scale industry represented by shale natural gas has swallowed up the backward production and lifestyle represented by farming and animal husbandry villages. The development status quo of modern society at the cost of destroying the living environment reflects the group outbreak of human nature's pursuit of profit, selfishness, and short-sighted weakness. The first half of the story seems bland, even the emotional clues are light and airy. Audiences accustomed to heavy tastes will not find even a single shot with a bit of weight.
#Next, great. The ingeniousness of the plot is that it does not directly describe the struggle between large international companies and local villagers and environmentalist organizations, but more thoroughly and thoroughly assumes that the environmentalist organizations are also deliberately fabricated by large international companies, and first fabricates a tragic lie to temporarily occupy the story. The top, and then the villagers were deceived by lies, and the big international companies appeared as the red sun savior of the people, in order to manipulate public opinion to manipulate votes and purchase land at a low price to develop natural gas.
#This ending makes the audience who have already labeled the movie the main theme type drama at a loss. Then, the main PR force of the international company, the male pig's foot No. 1, was actually a chess piece manipulated and controlled by the male pig's foot No. 2 who was temporarily pretending to be an environmental fighter. At the last critical moment, the male No. 1 found that his conscience had returned, and he was at the voting site. Say everything. The film pulls the audience's attention from the grand social theme back to the individual who struggles with good and evil in human nature.
#Often lament that a good movie needs a good story, but what is more important is how to tell the story well. The ups and downs of the plot are important, but the sense of rhythm is even more important. If the rhythm is well grasped, whether the plot is flat or abrupt, it will appear real and natural, otherwise it will be weird and rigid or old-fashioned and lack sincerity.
#The so-called sense of rhythm, I think it means that all parts of starting, inheriting, turning and closing are stretched (fully developed and rendered in place) and have vitality (there are many possibilities at any time, and can be thought and discussed), and at the same time The connection of each part is natural (in line with the normal psychological changes of people), and the transition is smooth (no hesitation and no ambiguity).
#This is a movie with a simple plot, but with suspense and a good sense of rhythm.
#Ok, we can continue to work. . .
