As an office worker who watches films every day and writes film reviews, the most tiring thing is to watch a "three vulgar" bad film, and to "textize" and "review" its content, just like himself His head was trampled twice by a donkey, depressed and helpless!
American movie "The Mountain Between Us"
Type of work: love
Main cast: Idris Elba (as Ben), Kate Winslet (as Alex)
Summary of the story: Due to the crash of a small plane, two people who never knew each other were trapped in the snow-capped mountains. Ben and Alex staged an inexplicable "dog blood love" drama in the extreme cold!
Release Date: October 6, 2017 in the United States
This is a rather old-fashioned and boring work with few bright spots and many grooves. Next, the author will discuss it in detail based on the content of the film.
I, an allegorical title
The Mountain Between Us, the Chinese literal translation is "the mountain between us". What does it mean?
①"High Mountain" means "Snow Mountain", bluntly saying that the two protagonists are trapped between the snow-capped mountains.
② "Alpine" implies "racial differences". Blacks and whites, although the "race issue" is dying out, it still exists in real life and is still deeply rooted.
③ "High Mountain" is a metaphor for "the bottom line of morality". Because Ben has a family and Alex has a marriage contract, the two people need to surpass the moral mountain in love.
II, the actor's affectionate interpretation
Black movie star Idris Elba teamed up with Oscar winner Kate Winslet to present the "dog blood love" scene.
Although I have some criticisms about the setting of these two roles, this does not affect my praise for the actors' excellent performance and tacit cooperation. Doctor Ben's fortitude, patience, and determination; reporter Alex's gossip, casual, and pretentious. Perfectly interpreted by two actors. I see the skill very much, such a bad plot, but also acting so hard, really dedicated.
III, the narrative is boring and deliberate
Too many coincidences, too many routines, too many boring!
Why do I judge the story chain of this work so much? There are three reasons.
①Procedural progression of the plot. Crash -> The hero and heroine survived with the dog -> Survival in the snow-capped mountains -> Falling in love -> Rescued and separated -> Love grows in reverse (end blank)
②The vulgar plot design. Snow mountain survival + sharing weal and woe + Jedi love, the whole "Snow Mountain version" Titanic.
③ Deliberate plot connection . From the beginning to the end of the film, there are many "deliberately done" plots, the most notable being "Airplane Crash" and "Alex Falls into the Water". The sense of drama is too strong to bear to look directly at.
IV, the complete failure of the mashup
The themes are nondescript and the content is inexplicable!
Whether it is a "romance film" or a "wilderness survival film", this work is unqualified.
①From the perspective of love, the various behaviors of the two on the mountain are for survival? Or for a show? Or germinate for love? Say "I don't understand" below! In particular, the "bed scene" is indiscriminately entered, and people can't help but sigh "the director's brain-dead character", since Ben and Alex have the time and energy to "roll the sheets", why can't they save themselves? This kind of "pulling and pulling" style of love is annoying.
②From the perspective of survival in the wilderness, the tension is not enough, and the relaxation is more than comfortable. In such a harsh and desperate environment, the two protagonists were able to maintain their "posture", as if their faces did not change color, their hearts did not beat, and they were warm and funny from time to time. Hehe, director brother, have you watched too much "Lin Hai Xue Yuan"? ! Think everyone is "Yang Zirong"? !
③ From the perspective of narrative rhythm, the opening is tight, the middle is loose, and the ending is long, showing an obvious "three-stage" collapse. As the film progresses, the audience gets bored, bored, and confused... So, fast-forward, fast-forward, fast-forward...
"Lovers in the Distant Mountain" has beautiful pictures and great actors. Unfortunately, it is limited by the director's ability, which limits the normal performance of the work, which is very regrettable.
Director ☆☆☆☆ (the ability to read the script, analyze the characters, and sort out the story needs to be improved)
Actors ★★★★★ ( I dris Elba and Kate Winslet's acting is impeccable, but the most touching thing is the dog, so loving)
Plot ☆☆☆☆ (plot with zero logic, what else is worth talking about?)
Visual effects ★★★★☆ (the snow scene is beautiful, the characters are beautiful, and the dog is cute)
Sound ★★★☆☆ (normal)
Recommendation ★★☆☆☆ (Part of the plot of this film can be viewed as a comedy movie, I understand it and laugh it off)
