The 4th #法罗岛电影节# The 4th screening day of the main competition unit will bring you "Peachy Blood Case", here is the evaluation of the publication group!

East coupling:

The court scene that lasted for more than 100 minutes was truly stunning, with many stories that were difficult to distinguish between true and false, and the confusing case. The flaw was that many details were full of deliberate irony, which made people feel a little helpless.

Mimi:

Everyone is reasonable, winning or losing lies in the details.

Gray cat:

I have to say that this poster is really beautiful.

Long court scenes, whether detailed or lengthy. This should be regarded as a movie with distinctive features and outstanding advantages and disadvantages.

Should be restricted by the background of the court, the main energy source of the film is the tension of the script planning and the performance of the actors. The retrospective analysis of the case is indeed very beautiful and exciting. The connection of each node can just lift the interest of the audience a little bit, and the display of a series of processes of taking over the evidence collection and defense is also full of fun. In addition, the emotional fluctuations in the performance of the actors turned the boring court debate into a wonderful drama full of cold humor and mutual ridicule. This is good.

Is that not enough?

It's too long, and the proportion of court play is really too big, so that the uninterested audience can't help but drowsy. The imbalance of the proportion will inevitably lead to the delay of the rhythm, the overall rhythm of the film is very flat, and it does lack the conflict climax and emotional outburst. It also greatly dilutes the excitement of the film.

On the whole, it is an interesting film, but it should be limited by technical factors, and there are still many wonderful places that have not been shown.

Aurora vovo:

After watching it, I felt that I was confused by the name of the movie. The best part of the whole movie is not the murder itself, but how to try the murder. Although large sections of courtroom scenes seem to be a bit cumbersome, but compared to "Summer Fantasy", which uses a large section of contrast to tell a story of dog blood to WTF, "Peachy Blood Case" will be a large section. The advantages of the dialogue have been brought into full play (the plot tension of the court play is fully reflected) The huge text thickness of the movie script does not make the movie appear too complicated. All this is attributed to the fact that the truth seems to be gradually clarified with the long and large dialogue, but the creator is standing on the objective standpoint of a bystander without evaluating the event itself, and in the end, the truth of the "Peachy Blood Case" What it is like has lost its meaning. This state of affairs is also an extremely dramatic and extremely realistic manifestation of the American legal system.

The setting of the movie's plot in the post-truth era obviously has practical significance across the age. Everyone's statement is based on his own position, and the information given is also based on a limited perspective. And compared to court films that are too pursuing the so-called truth (and CCTV12's French popularization column drama), the Peachy Blood Case did not fall into the arrogance of letting the audience stand in the omniscience perspective and reveal the absolute truth, but cleverly manipulated the audience's perspective to make the audience stand From the perspective of the jury, the whole case is "juried", and this kind of presentation method that gives the audience a sense of immersion is something other court debate films of this kind have not done.

Shang Xiu's movies:

Before I saw it, I was surprised that there were 160 minutes, but it turned out that the last 100 minutes were court scenes. It was comfortable and enjoyable to watch. Some hidden things made people think about it.

City of Philharmonic:

Due to the particularity of court dramas, if we want to have a deep understanding of this kind of movies, we must understand what we are watching, what attracts us, and from what stand we watch movies.

The law is the foundation of the national order, and its unique and important significance makes them often favored by artists. There are no shortage of good-looking court dramas in the history of movies. They demonstrate the spirit of the legal system, and the tortuous plots make this kind of movies very watchable. high.

It is impossible to avoid "The Witness of the Prosecution", "The Twelve Angry Men", "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" and other court dramas that have the same reputation, which are closely related to the witnesses of the prosecution. The two angry men came together in one go, and Mr. Smith’s magnanimity in Washington was completely different. The peachy murder case was more mysterious. Most of the stories were pieced together by people’s oral narratives, both true and false. There is a Jedi comeback, the truth is revealed, but the ending is full of irony. There is no absolute "good guy" in the whole film, only the tit-for-tat game in the court.

Does the truth really matter? Do we really care about justice and evil? I don’t think so. What we like is the thrill of taking the cocoon of complicated cases in the movie, the tense excitement of standing on the legal scale, and the surprise of the possibility of a 180-degree reversal at the last minute. On the contrary, It is the morality of promoting good and punishing evil after the film baptism became very weak.

Of course, there are some court dramas whose views are really disagreeable. For the specific situation, you can watch "Zhu Men Nie Zong" and "Lang Xin Ru Tie" together to ensure that the popularity will die.
