"Deadly Black Orchid": The Killing Dance of the Black Tanuki

Rosario 2022-03-24 09:02:04

Not only was "Deadly Black Orchid" released in China nearly two years later than in the United States, it was languidly with little publicity. Most people would have missed it if it hadn't been seen in the cinema, and the name of the writer and producer "Luc Besson" that came with it. The heroine Zoe Saldana has starred in "Avatar" and has a first-class body and appearance. The style has always been concise and gorgeous. Director Olivier Megaton has filmed "Fate Express 3" and "Hurricane Rescue 2". Luc Besson's brand is destined that this film will not disappoint even if it can't stand out from the crowd.
This is a light movie. Suitable for men and women dating on the weekends to eat popcorn and drink Coke to watch. It is about a woman with dark skin, thin arms and thin legs but a graceful figure, like the sculpture on the Hong Kong Film Awards trophy, and her revenge story.
The whole movie presents a little thrill, a little love, and a little affection. The plot is light and exciting, killing people like dancing on the keys, every step is precise, and there is a ding-dong sound. It doesn't have a shocking big scene that makes it memorable for a long time, and it doesn't deliberately induce tears. (In the play, the heroine's uncle and grandma died, but because they did not establish more psychological connections with the audience before, they seemed to be able to accept it. This is like a portamento in piano playing, but It's a decorative tone - to advance the plot.)
The story begins with the heroine's parents being taken by the drug lord Don? Talking about the shooting of Louis, the ten-year-old she was forced into the house by the gangsters. This is reminiscent of the little girl Matilda in Luc Besson's famous film "This Killer is Not Too Cold" 20 years ago. They were also instantly orphaned and faced the danger of being hunted down. When the gangster and the little girl Calareya stalemate, the director used the front and side close-up shots. The little black girl sat at the table and stared at the insidious and seductive gangster on the opposite side. Questioning, confused, thinking look. Such a close-up also makes the audience feel sympathy for her by seeing her poor, beautiful, black-and-white eyes.
Then the alert little girl stabbed the gangster's hand with a knife and jumped out of the window. A gorgeous parkour unfolds on an exotic roof, and among the buildings that are lined up with different heights, start the game with motorcycles, cars, and running gangsters. The director used overhead shooting, follow-up shooting and face-to-face shooting to make the little girl escape like a bird trying to escape the claws of an eagle. When the camera shot the little girl jumping on the steps and running down, the audience clearly felt her helplessness. . And when she ran towards the camera, because the movement of the characters did not seem as obvious as the side shots, the audience was afraid that someone behind her was going to catch up with her...
As wonderful as this one, it was Kara who grew up Leya designed a disguise and was deliberately arrested into the police station to kill a prisoner. After the night, when she tied her long hair with a rubber band, put on tights for her slender figure, and then unlocked the door with a hairpin, subtly destroyed the power supply, and got into the exhaust like a civet cat. After killing people and then coming back, the neatness of hands and feet, the superb disguise, and the magic of wisdom remind people of another earlier film by Luc Besson, "Nikita".
Calarea made full use of the flexible body of a woman, and completed an incredible act of revenge between lightning and flint. This nearly ten-minute murder design is ingeniously conceived, refined and exciting, and it will be unforgettable for a long time. The two good scenes and the next scene with the help of sharks to kill people show that Calarea, a black civet cat, is scheming and bent on revenge, and can no longer be stopped. Her road to revenge is like a murderous dance. Compared to these two paragraphs, the battle of revenge in the last scene is rather dull. The close-quarters fighting and single-handedness of a hard bridge and a hard horse are always not suitable for such a dexterous woman. Her intelligence seemed too human. This may also remind the audience of a sentence from "The Great Gatsby": "...not everyone is as lucky as you."
But in this June, this is a very good movie. It is light and agile, just like early summer.
