A Bag of Marbles I think is a masterpiece! First of all, its core is from an unusual family! Two younger brothers and two grown older brothers! It's all around Dad's barbershop! The decisions made along the way, whether for the two young boys or the ones the boys have to make, can cause a lot of stress. That's where the real charm lies. Throw in those beautifully shot sets, great props and cars, and more, and great shooting talent, and you've got a great historical movie experience.
This movie is supposed to be about France going through World War II, it's all very real, there are some great portrayals, there are unpredictable twists and turns and disasters, and great character applies to enemies as well as good people. There are so many tense moments in the film, which, of course, are amplified by the youth and innocence of the two boys, and the relationship between the two boys is touching. You probably don't feel that anything in this movie is forced or false or historically inaccurate. Of course, at the same time in the microscopic world, this must represent the real experience of the German occupation of France. Therefore, I think "A Bag of Marbles" should be a must-see movie for movie fans who like history!
two other points
One • "A Bag of Marbles" is probably one of four or five films that don't have any frames like that, and those frames can be called fakes. At the end of this film, the production is also so meticulous, but at the same time, for some reason, this film will become one of the unpopular in 2017. The photography can't be more beautiful, and the art direction can't be more beautiful. I really like the color palette in the film, the color palette is absolutely beautiful! Ha ha! Plus, in an unusual way, it brings to life the atmosphere of occupied France in the early 1940s.
Two • The second one is its music. I don't know how many times I've heard it. Besides, I love this kind of BGN so much. From this kind of sad music, I can better express people's thoughts and feelings at this time. And our thoughts and feelings as viewers when watching a movie. Wish I could work with their sound team someday!
The script is even more of a gem. His handling of time is superb. What about its role: It is rare to see so many marginal characters in a movie. Every actor is chosen very 99%, not to mention the little boy who tests the protagonist. It is estimated that it will take a long time. We can only see another child play such a complex role. In fact, for me, I rarely watch movies about children. The last time I watched it was the movie "Hugo", but its plot is not as exciting as "A Bag of Marbles". Of course, some people will say that the labels are different. , but both belong to children's films, aren't they? "Hugo" I completely went to the photography and color grading, after all, it won the best visual effects of the 84th Oscar, haha!
However, in fact, there are still shortcomings. I personally think that if some battlefield content is added, it will be even more icing on the cake if it is combined with the family as the background.
