I watched the movie, it was typical of Diao's style, but the progress on the screen was very obvious. The composition of the darkroom wrapping scene was very good. The lines of the muscles, the focus is on the bloody gauze patch on the chest, and the actor's face is looming, great! But the whole narrative is a bit procrastinated, the actors' performances are a little slow, and the editing is not harsh, but this is the style of Director Diao. For example, the laughing point created by my friendly Wuhan dialect is very good. The literary film walks on two legs. The taste of a directional film, it is meant to be prepared for European film festivals! Although the three major Europeans have some emphasis, they have something in common. That is the place where the film was born. Unlike the Asian cage, there are only a few masters. There used to be masters everywhere, Europeans are well-informed, and they have already filmed normal human emotions. Therefore, only the twisted, bizarre, and extreme can stimulate them, so it is also very appealing to me, and I don't watch it less. Let's say that there are 10,000 or 20,000 movies, and it's not even an A movie!
After watching the play, let’s first praise the advantages: this movie continues the consistent style, and sticks to the position of the genre movie with the theme of real crime in China. If you want to watch this type of movie, there is no semicolon in this family! In fact, I can't boast. I watch movies with emphasis on storytelling and actors' performances. I have only started to pay attention to the pictures in recent years. To a certain extent, I am in the stage of learning to watch movies. A friend who is an art artist said that watching so many movies is a waste. , stories and performances, TV series can be completely free of money! I think it's an insult to a part-time prop master and a martial artist, but I can't say he...
Let’s talk about the shortcomings of this movie. There is a problem with the personal point of view. The Chinese people are the most studied in the action drama. We have already studied the drama through novels, dramas, and operas hundreds of years before the movie. There is a special bunt book in the storytelling, and there is a three-play principle for play, who to play, how to play, and why! The problem in this play is here. Hu Ge fights with rival gangs, fights with "his own people", shoots with gangsters and police who arrested him, and it's clear who he fights with, there is no problem! But how to fight and why to fight, there are differences but no level, this is a problem, some are consistent, lack of change and progression, and do not use fighting scenes to promote the plot. There are three fight scenes in the movie that are particularly important. In the first indoor brawl, Zhou Zenong is the small boss and the Dinghai Shenzhen. Hu Ge attacked in the second half of the conflict as the main general. This match was basically qualified, but the momentum was not enough. Fighting momentum is very important. You should use several smashes. The top-down smashes are most in line with human instinct, which can release the greatest strength, and at the same time can "magnify" one's visual body shape and create an oppressive aura. Knowing that the gang fights, the veterans always gain power first and then lose their anger. His style of play is a bit shady, too "tender" and not wild. The advantage is that the wounded people in the movie show Zhou Zenong's savagery, which fits this role. The basic positioning of the game, but it is not enough to leave an intuitive enough impression on the audience. If he has not dealt with why he is playing, he is going to be in the top position! Can't not "act" at all!
The most important one is killing "one's own people" in the dark room. The opponent is his boss and the horse that the boss found to play with him. This scene should basically be the highlight of the whole film. The conflict should be the strongest and the degree of completion. 65 points out of 100, there is almost no cool point, there should be an obvious cool point here, the drama conflict should remove all Zhou's hesitation in this section, and now the movie has this meaning, the character needs to have a breakthrough, or The process of letting go, so that he can completely prepare for death! Therefore, there should be some super-real arrangements here, and the fight should be more lively, because how to fight if it is not handled well! Although the choice of props is very good.
In the third scene, the river was killed, and it was time to return to reality. When I reached the river, it was already a dead end, but it was possible to die more suddenly and directly. He was the one who killed the police, and his official position was "extremely vicious." "The gangsters have guns, it would be better if they died suddenly and neatly, so they didn't deal with why they were fighting, and then they didn't arrange how to die. The police are taking their lives at this moment, and so many guns were fired in front of Zhou to kill them. Everyone is trying to kill Zhou, but Zhou doesn't know if the "play" is enough. He should be confused and excited. This is Hu Ge. It has been done, but it is not dead, and it lacks a finalizing effect!
So in general, these three main scenes did not meet my expectations. It's a bit too pretentious to say that, I mean it didn't surprise me enough!
In the final analysis, it is the dynamic problem of the fight. The action scenes ultimately fall into the action. The main reason is that Hu Ge's movements lack tension, the amplitude is small and the angle is low, and the dynamic is fast but not fast. Refers to ability, so in this respect he is just a tool person, blame the action guide for not creating a ruthless feeling but destroying the character's proper texture! Zhou Zenong basically died by himself. He couldn't make such a choice if he wasn't ruthless. In the end, he knew that he would die. In the late Ming Dynasty, Hong Chengchou was so favored by the emperor that all the captives went on hunger strike, and finally died? Survival is an instinct engraved in the deepest part of human consciousness, an instinct that transcends human nature, and he can't commit suicide in the play, this is also a play within a play. OK? And he is not a big boss. In the gang, the position of the small boss is not easy to sit still. Just like the office politics we experience daily, the middle level is always hot. The big boss usually smiles and does not show his personal emotions easily. The work that offends people is done at the middle level, so ruthlessness is the character's natural character. The performance can only add things to the top or dig the root of ruthlessness, and this is the reason why the action scenes are problematic. See It's not ruthless, it's more instinct and helplessness, this is unreasonable! But it is difficult to use the actor's expressive lines to reflect this kind of character in such realistic themes, because no one will put Ruan La on his face in reality, and he can't use lines to play Ruan Lai, only the little one. Luo Cai will speak ruthlessly. His level is already "not many ruthless words", so he can only express it through body movements or the most suitable way is to use body movements. It just so happens that there are scenes of killing and killing in this movie, so The rest of the parts are good in my opinion, the downside is the action scenes! But this can't be said to be the problem of the crew, but the problem of the entire industry. In recent years, there have been very few realistic-themed things, and there are too many scenes of Xiaoxianrou's nonsense. The film is a collective creation led by the director. There are shortcomings in the matching team. Sometimes the director is helpless, and the martial arts of these cooperating directors have been away from reality for too long and have degenerated. I have seen Bai Baoshan’s movie before, which is more realistic and also explores human nature, but that is how exciting. And this is only acceptable, because such an arrangement has been achieved in terms of "authenticity", although this shortcoming will destroy the viewing experience of ordinary audiences! Of course, it is technically very difficult to arrange the fight scenes of this movie. There are too many parts to be considered and too many restrictions. First of all, it cannot be martial arts, nor CQB or MMA. It must be street-level and direct enough; Professional, the role is not a killer, just a small boss, it can't be trained; then it can't have a Hong Kong flavor, it can't be that kind of publicized evil; Japanese and Korean flavors, Korean-style handsome and Japanese-style madness are not suitable for this movie; American-style muscle hedging is even more impossible! "Zhou Zenong" is a little similar to Wang Qianyuan's "Zhang Hua" in "Rescue Mr. My", and it also means a wild dog. It is the feeling of being forced to return to a wild beast after suffering from human misery, so the style can be used for reference. Hu Ge's action scenes should be choreographed quickly and directly, but with a larger scale. After all, he is not playing "Zhang Hua", not a kidnapper and a murderer, and the purpose cannot be too clear. He is Piaoping, the kind of forced , fast and direct to show his ruthlessness, and large movements can show his unprofessionalism, even a little like Keanu Reeves, repeating a movement repeatedly because it failed to achieve its purpose, similar to "Quick Chase" During the fight at the weapon store in Kill 3", the feeling when he threw five or six throwing knives at a killer in a row, the dark room killing was so crazy that he used mechanical continuous repeated movements, stabbed the abdomen with an umbrella or beat the back of the head, repeated seven or eight times. Second, I believe that a good actor like Hu Ge can be different every time, bringing out changes in rhythm and mood! And the repetition of this action can greatly improve the viewing experience of the film. The audience needs such an audio-visual refreshment, and the character needs a release before death. Of course, this may also directly lead to the film failing to pass the review...
