Recently, a movie called "Green Paper" has disliked an extraordinary craze on social media at home and abroad. "Moonlight Boy" and other Oscar best films have received a mediocre response in the country. What is the reason for this film to have such an impact and good reputation?
Xiaoju believes that in addition to the objective factors such as the publicity, Ali Group, and Jack Ma as its platform, the best reason for the audience to actively post the "Tap Water" in the circle of friends after watching the movie is: to restore the narrative film That's good .
Once upon a time, before superhero movies and sci-fi visual effects were flooded with movie theaters, many senior movie fans thought that "good movies" were often those that focused on plot, story, character performance, lens use, etc., which belonged to the real kind of movie that are worthy of fun. work.
"The Godfather", "Paradise Cinema", "Shawshank's Salvation" and other films, without exception, were made by various hall-level directors and movie stars of the year, using the most professional attitude to carve every performance and shot , creating a film that only belongs to the movie. That's good.
Once Xiao Tang fell in love with movies because of these great works, and of course, in the future, also because of watching every theater-line superhero movie and sci-fi movie (also a diehard fan of his genre), but as time goes by , I feel more and more that there are fewer and fewer works that are worth sitting down and savoring, with the charm of classic Hollywood movies.
The following recommends a classic Hollywood narrative movie "Legend No.42" similar to the theme of "Green Book"
story background
The story of "Legend No. 42" took place in the United States after World War II.
With the end of the war, the order of life in the United States was gradually restored, and many veterans returned to their normal lives. Watching sports games is a very important project in the lives of the American people.
Baseball was the number one sport in the United States at the time (football and basketball were not as popular as baseball at the time). As the number one sports league in the United States at that time, MLB (Major League Baseball) played an important role in enriching people's daily entertainment.
But at that time, all the players in the entire Major League Baseball League were made up of white people, and there were no players of color.
At that time, the shareholder of the Brooklyn Dodgers & GM Branch Rickey (Branch Rickey) was very forward looking at Jackie Robinson (Jackie Robinson) in the black league (a baseball league that only allows blacks to play) and decided to sign the Players.
The film revolves around the story of how Jack faced discrimination from the white class such as teammates, fans, referees, opponents, and finally led the team to the championship and became one of the best baseball players.
Character perspective
1. White boss-Branch Rickey (Branch Rickey), actor: Harrison Ford (Harrison Ford)
"I want a player who got the guts not to fight back"
Harrison Ford’s performance in this work is truly amazing, getting rid of the embarrassing situation of "playing like himself" in previous works (Star Wars, Blade Runner, Raiders of the Lost Ark, etc.), and vividly portrays a In the golden age of the 20th century, the veteran and slick American elite white "old local tyrant" image.
Regardless of the displayed temperament and the boldness and confidence in the words, they perfectly portrayed the image of a "pioneer" on the screen, and really grabbed the limelight of the "Tachalla" male number one.
2. Black reporter Wendell. Smith (Wendell. Smith), actor: Andre Holland
The black journalist Xiao Wen plays a very subtle role in the film. As Jack Robinson's personal assistant and newspaper reporter, Xiao Wen tells this legendary story as a witness and recorder.
As the third-person narration at the beginning and end of the film, from the perspective of a "witness", it tells the audience the social and historical background at that time, and the hardships and ups and downs experienced by the legendary player's career.
Because of the particularity of his identity, the storytelling has become extremely lively and interesting. The many details in his speech and actions all reflect the pride and pride that he felt as a black minority in that era.
Other actors
"Black Panther King" Chadwick Boseman (Chadwick Boseman)'s performance in this film tends to be flat, seeming a bit of idol baggage.
During the game, the live broadcast commentary played by John C. McGinley was a highlight in the film. The vivid commentary and accent highly restored the voice of the commentary at the time, which was very strong. The presence of presence, the audience is naturally substituted into the atmosphere of the time.
Similar to the "Green Book", this film conveys anti-racism. Although the director skills and actor performance shown are not quite popular, the film has a complete narrative structure and logic, and is presented in a relatively relaxed and humorous form. Tell stories about anti-discrimination themes.
The entire American environment and the state of the people were portrayed very well, using a small view to tell a story with a movie to show an era of change and the course of democratic struggle;
Using movies to restore the beauty of the old times, telling a good story, is thought-provoking, maybe this is what the movie should have.
