short comment

walking in the clouds,
The film is based on Philip Pat's personal autobiography. It tells the story of the acrobat Philip Patt who built a steel cable between the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York in 1974 and successfully passed through the two buildings. It is not difficult to imagine that the climax of the whole story (and the most anticipated by the audience) must be the process of walking on a tightrope, but a long tightrope walking will only last for more than half an hour, which means that this two-hour movie, the former More than an hour is laying the groundwork, so the problem is, how do you shoot to keep the audience until the final tightrope climax? You must know that this more than an hour is a foreshadowing. It mainly introduces the relevant characters and the motivation and preparation for doing this. For the audience, this large section is a reservoir of emotions, which accumulates unknowingly in the process of description. Emotion finally opens the gate to prevent floods when walking on a tightrope. If you don’t explain clearly, it will make the climax behavior appear abrupt and dry. If the explanation is too clear, it will make the audience feel verbose, so first you have to know how to control the rhythm, and then add some love And friendship is used as emotional support, and of course, jokes are used as adjustments. In the end, the inspirational protagonist is used to make the audience feel and admire, and let the audience know that this is not a commercial film with a simple structure. It still has a certain amount of positive energy to enrich it. The hearts and minds of Robert Zemi have been taken into account, and he has done a particularly good job. The romantic encounter, the tough friendship, the constant jokes and the protagonist's deeds overcoming many difficulties in order to achieve their goals are made through the director's unhurried narrative. This otherwise boring part is fascinating, at least it takes you to the final climax, and at the climax, Zemeckis uses his years of visual effects skills to create a staggering air walk The visual effects are spectacle, and this spectacle is still full of ups and downs, full of laughter, I only remember that when I watched it in the movie theater, the audience kept exclaiming and laughing. The beautiful girl also said, "I'm so mad at this baby". At that time, this inexplicable sentence made me laugh, because this brain-filling narration was too vivid. It took me a minute to stop laughing, and now I sweat just thinking about it. There are still several highlights in this film that can be mentioned. One is the attention to the psychological changes of the protagonist. Although it is not very delicate, at least the determination, fear and expectation of various mood changes are shown; the other is the narration of the narration. , although it looks weird at first, but relying on Joseph's emotional performance, there is no sense of disobedience. Compared with the blunt and old-fashioned narration in the mainland, it is an innovation; I like it very much, that is, when Beethoven's To Alice sounded, it was especially suitable for the scene, and the whole picture looked at it. Zi fell into a poetic and serene realm, and could not help but be intoxicated with the protagonist; the last one is that Jon Joseph learned a lot of French in order to play the Frenchman well, and even imitated the Frenchman when speaking English. Speaking English, this is much more dedicated than mainland actors who can't change their accent freely, and the performance is full of power and convincing. Although this film has many advantages, it also has many shortcomings. For example, this film is really mediocre, and it is not as powerful as the director's last work <>. A lot of it relies on dramatic plots to mobilize the audience's emotions, and lacks anything that really makes people think or move people's hearts. At the end, it is really intriguing to say that the building has changed because of this, and it has sublimated the artistic conception. becomes very boring. But on the whole, this film is still above the pass line, and it can even be said that the director has achieved a good balance between business and art, although this is the specialty of Zemeckis, and I heard someone comment on Li before. Ann said that Ang Lee is a director who is best at directing commercial films. It's another matter to put aside the artistic core. To be honest, I don't really agree with this point of view. I think that Robert Zemeckis is such a director. Many of his works, such as the rest of the world, back to the future trilogy, contact with time and space, especially the Oscar-winning work Forrest Gump, all of them put a certain artistic core on the basis of commercial films to achieve commercial art. Balance, and as for why he always does so well, I think it depends to a large extent on his solid narrative skills and familiar use of genre elements, proper control of narrative rhythm, and clever use of montage and surreal techniques. The reasonable combination of various commercial literary and artistic elements, as well as the sublimation of artistic conception and the presentation of visual wonders are all in place, so it is not difficult for him to achieve balance, it is just a matter of degree, of course, You can also say, as an afterthought, that his masterpieces are much more accurate than the recent tepid films, because it is indeed the case. So powerful, this film too much stays at the level of presentation, too much reliance on dramatic plots to mobilize the audience's emotions, and lacks anything that really makes people think or move people's hearts. At the end, the building has changed because of this It is really intriguing and sublimates the artistic conception, but after several people's explanations, it also becomes very boring. But on the whole, this film is still above the pass line, and it can even be said that the director has achieved a good balance between business and art, although this is the specialty of Zemeckis, and I heard someone comment on Li before.
