This film is the work of Catherine Bigelow who won the Oscar, and it is also a super key node in her directorial career in my opinion. Even though I am not crazy about this film, I also admit that this film is a very artistic quality. Independent film. And if you just think the action scene is good, you underestimate the movie, because the script of this film cleverly pave the way for the emotional changes of the characters in the action scene, and the narrative is more effective.
First of all, from the perspective of the big structure, in addition to deliberately changing the rhythm of the film at the end to show the film’s disdain for Hollywood narrative traditions (this is also the reason why I don’t like the film to a large extent), and the beginning The tune is too commercial. Others can be viewed as an emotional film. First, the stranger joins the group, has a drag with the group, and is accepted by the group after repeated times, and then faces the big event together, and the stranger is unknown. The emotional weakness is known to the audience, and the image is gradually full of general structure. And having said that, in the event itself, the "Oolong" in the second half of the revenge is also a very clever design. While the audience feels novel and long-lasting, it also leaves the Hollywood traditional personal heroism to the audience to criticize through the entire event. , It is clever.
Of course, I just briefly introduced the characteristics of the script of this film. Next, we can slowly see the differences in these scenes. In the first two bomb disposal scenes, it is obvious that the screenwriters were set up after the bomb disposal. Several scenes are used to show the gap between William and the team played by Jeremy Renault, but looking closely at the interaction between the protagonist and the team, the second scene is obviously more than the first, and the length of the action scene itself is also increasing. Come, William Hurts the bomb this time becomes the first part of his personal drama, we can more closely see the distance between him and the team gradually deepening, at the same time, the action drama also makes people more immersively into the language shaped by the movie. Environment. Of course, immediately after the longer action scene in the desert, the three main characters of the team, William, Sanborn and Owen, are in the same frame. In this way, of course we also know that the protagonist is truly integrated into the team. Among.
The reason why the following action scenes follow one after another, but also does not make everyone feel confused, is also largely derived from this. In the scene of dismantling the human flesh bomb, the tension is far less tense than the previous action scenes, but it is impressive enough. We have already said that William Destroying Bombs is a kind of character-making drama. Here we see the image of a man who is different from the beginning of Bomb Destroying, independent of "an expert". The death of another teammate also made Owen's role in play, that is, "a man's only way" and "the nature of the battlefield is unpredictable."
Of course, the latter part of the scene is mainly William’s personal shaping and the re-upgrading of the action scenes. At this time, the role of the screenwriter is indeed less (of course, the final bomb disposal scene is also very well set). The director's skill came in great use. The investigation after the explosion of the oil tanker revealed that the night scene had a great texture. It truly expressed the state of the people involved, walking on the edge of danger. And the clip before going home, the kite, the children outside the car while talking, and the daily American family life, melancholy? Reluctant? It's just masculine.
(Final digression-How was Wu Yusen's luck back then? The same martial arts handling method was used in "Blood Two Heroes" so smoothly, and he didn't merge as well later. And Bigger Luo's attitude towards violence is still the same, but it is inevitable to be a little bit petty to express it in this film. Fortunately, the realism that has been molded has been offset a lot, which is one of the reasons why I changed the score to Samsung. )
