"Dead Mediterranean": The sin exposed to the audience's eyes was

related to the theater because of the promotion of products, so out of official business, but also for private good, I watched a few more movies.

Originally, there was not a single audience in the movie theater to watch "Desperados of the Mediterranean", but because of our arrival, we made a special trip to show it. There were only two people in the audience, and I felt quite lonely.

After watching the entire movie, I was disappointed. Until the end, when the young tour guide on the screen walked away, I also said to my colleagues: There may be a reversal here, but until the young man disappeared in front of the camera, and then the credits appeared, I was finally satisfied with this film. The movie's attempt to save it came to naught, and the movie was nailed to the pillar of shame as a bad movie. When I left the theater, my colleague was actually very tolerant. I recommended him to watch a "Highly Doubt" to see how this film completely subverted the previous setting of the entire film in the last five minutes, making a 98% of the length of the bad movie. The piece of salted fish turned over at the last moment.

The biggest problem of "Desperate Mediterranean" is that it tells the whereabouts of all the characters on the screen, and does not know how to cover them up, making the whole movie just a crime record. And the crime in the film is just a pile of accidents that are not worth mentioning. It is not possible to see what sensational schemes are hidden in this case, nor can I see what is lurking in the process of the case against humanity. The profound revelation, the whole movie is bland, there is no danger, from beginning to end, the waves are calm, it can be said that there is really no suspense at all. And there is actually a scene in the movie. In a corner of the room, there is a Christie's detective novel. At that time, I thought that this movie would follow Christie's unexpected story setting to make a Jedi reversal, but , the movie really has nothing in common with Christie's classic plot style, which makes people feel deeply dissatisfied with the low-IQ plot line of the movie after getting used to the traditional routine of the thriller.

Judging from the plot of "Desperate Mediterranean", it is too simple. In the film, the investment swindler, Fran, took his young wife Colette to Greece for a holiday. Because of the coercion of the private detective who was following him, he accidentally killed the private detective, thus embarking on a journey of escape. Judging from the setting of the movie, what Fran did was just an accidental accident, killing the private detective who knew the inside story. , his behavior is also an unintentional mistake, killing is not his true motive, he is just a money liar, including his hand-stunning of the young tour guide, from the movie point of view, it is not to kill the other party, otherwise , the young tour guide Ludahl will not be able to wake up after a moment and escape successfully.

All the actions of Fran in the film were exposed to Ludahl's eyes because of the relationship between Ludahl's translation for him. Therefore, all the crimes of Fran were revealed in broad daylight. This makes the film no longer have any secrets to hide, and no suspense to hide. It looks dull and boring, and it really makes people unable to find a little bit of wisdom and fun.

The young tour guide Ludar Garmen went to the escape journey of the French couple. Originally, the film could show the deep revealing elements of human nature here, because the film really does not have any unexpected endings to provide the audience with strange tricks. Put a little more effort into the measurement of human nature, but it is still difficult to see any unique and profound revelation of human nature in the film. It's because Fran resembles his recently deceased father, and that's probably one of the main reasons why he's willing to help Fran with his language barrier, but, obviously, in the film, Fran's wife is more interested in the young man. A good impression arises, and in the context of the film, what we see is that Fran's wife voluntarily exudes a symbol of sexual seduction to him, and bluntly admits it in front of her husband. At this time, the film is here to show the dislocation of human nature between the three people: Rydal pays attention to Fran, while Fran's wife seduces Rydal with her own sexuality, diverting the focus of Rydal's attention , and then again led to Franco's rejection of Rydal. However, this kind of film between the three people does not clearly define or deeply analyze the relationship between them, and they all pass by in a casual narrative tone. In the end, they do not give us insight into the enlightenment of the secrets of human nature. It can become a small wave in a crime record, and it is impossible to set off a huge display of the latent energy of the waves of human nature. When the relationship between the three people died unexpectedly in Fran's wife, their contradictions also vanished. I've been looking forward to the death of Fran's wife, maybe a conspiracy, maybe at the end, Fran's wife suddenly appeared in front of them, because Rydal saw the body of Fran's wife lying under the steps, probably a It's a disguise, as Christie likes to do, but in the end, the movie doesn't show a crime of high IQ.

Therefore, from two perspectives, the whole film has neither the surprise of the case, nor the profound display of human nature. In the final paragraph, the escape of Fran and the same escape of Ludal seem meaningless. When the two meet At that time, it all ended peacefully. Perhaps the most unexpected part of the film is that at the last moment, the dying Fran, on the verge of death, tells the truth for Rydal, and does a good thing in his life without lying. However, with such a mentality, the film does not reveal to us any connotation and the true meaning of human nature.

"Desperate Mediterranean" is more like a travel film, which adds a crappy crime of blundering and wounding people, so as to string together several scenic spots, but it is destined to not be able to blend the scenes, and it will not be able to set off the scenery. Human resilience.

In the film, Fran's wife, from her smile, felt that she was the unbeautiful girlfriend of "Spider-Man" back then, especially her teeth, which are really not flattering and not neat, are her striking signs . After coming out, I found that she really played the role. The other characters, Fran's cunning mixed with helplessness and a bit of sincerity at the same time, are vivid and profound, anchoring the character on a despised level. And the young tour guide Rydal was lackluster and boring.
