However, in 1990 and 1995, two directors in two places separated by thousands of miles produced two different great works. They are Wu Yusen and Darabont’s "Blood Doubles". Xiong> and
First of all, from the narrative point of view, both films have chosen a two-line narrative approach. Wu Yusen used two lines, one is the police officer Li Ying, and the other is the killer Xiaozhuang. Feng Ma Niu Two people who are not related, their identities also mean that the two of them must stand on opposite sides. In people's eyes, their only intersection is four words-life and death.
But as the plot develops, we will gradually find that, Both of them are people who are incompatible with their backgrounds: Li Ying has a strong sense of justice, and he often does not care about the consequences in order to put out crimes. Therefore, he is not seen by his superiors and is internally investigated, and many cases cannot be interfered with sincerely. As he said: I believe in justice, but no one wants to believe in me. He has an ideal of justice, but the road to the ideal is full of thorns. And Xiao Zhuang is a killer, he shoots and kills, but he never abuses Killing innocents, more importantly, he kept thinking about saving people. But such a "not too cold" killer was hunted down everywhere. At the end of the road, only a policeman and his friend stood by. By his side.
Of course, in this drama, Xiao Zhuang is the mainstay and everything revolves around him, and Li Ying, to a certain extent, plays a very important supporting role. It is he and the fourth brother that make Xiao Zhuang The whole image of is plumped up. This drama is about "killer", but the most outstanding part is the confrontation of "two heroes": justice, friendship, loyalty and betrayal. These elements that make up a world are connected through the connections between characters And it seems to complement each other.
The protagonist in
Andy has been found not guilty, but for his wife's love and owe Understanding became a fetter in his heart, so he endured everything silently. Until he discovered the truth of the matter and the darkness around him. He finally decided to embark on the road of self-salvation.
Red is an old fritters, he killed people, But he still longed for parole, but was rejected without exception. Shawshank prison seems to have become an eternal part of his life. He "hatred it at first, then you slowly get used to it, and finally become inseparable from it." "For him, decades of imprisonment is enough to punish him. He is no longer the impulsive and rebellious kid at the beginning, but he still cannot go out. On the one hand, the parole officer does not allow it, and on the other hand, the outside world is full. The unknown is scary.
In the beginning, Red helped Andy and brought him fun in his boring days. Then, Andy gradually showed his talents, and he used his abilities to win more for his friends in prison. Right. It also brought a glimmer of hope to Red's life behind bars, which seemed to have no end in sight. The sentence was finally fulfilled: "The strong save themselves, and the saints cross others." When
Wu Yusen and Darabont use a two-line narrative , The biggest common change is to use one line to make the other line more complete and rich. Through the "polishing" of the main line, the emotions and appeals to be expressed in the film are naturally more moving. Of course, I also agree. Another point of view is that the two lines are actually supporting each other, saying that whoever stands out is biased.
Nowadays, many films like to adopt multi-angle and multi-line narrative. In the process of the film, the audience seems to understand the story through a broad perspective. The advantage of this approach is that it can give the audience a broad perspective to watch And commenting on the film, it also makes the film look thicker and richer to some extent. However, the shortcomings are also obvious, such as Sky Tower, crash, and Bobby. The subject matter is very good, but this is the choice. An expression technique can easily make the scene chaotic and the actors out of control, making it difficult for people to feel some of the emotions in it. Of course, the subject matter also determines the expression technique to a certain extent. The
two-line narrative makes up for it to a large extent. This point. Because the focus of the story is on these two lines (of course there are other branches), the tension of the drama is enough. It can also make the audience better experience. However, there is one biggest shortcoming here. The choice of angle is relatively narrow.
