I thought, wow, it turns out that a foreign country can also draw a piece of the sky by painting a banana. Some people are like this, and they are obsessed with one technique all their lives. Finally, he finally broke into a butterfly and became a master. In my opinion, Dafen is the same. (I like to be called Dafen, because the full name reminds me of another director David I don’t like.) I
actually bought the CD of the film "Seven Deadly Sins" for a long time, but the machine couldn't fit it back then, so I wanted to wait for a replacement. The camera is looking at this disc, so as not to waste a few dollars. But after waiting for many years, due to the development of network and TV playback capabilities, DVD players are basically useless. So I never watched the movie. But after watching the recently discussed "Gone Lover", I actually found that the disappearing storytelling structure is similar to that of "Fight Club".
Suddenly I remembered Dafen and "Seven Deadly Sins", a classic film. Look. So with the help of the great network technology now, this film was done. Sure enough, Dafen's hobby of telling stories has already taken shape in "The Seven Deadly Sins". He is such a tireless use of "The Seven Deadly Sins" in the middle of the story to reveal the answer to the big mystery, and then throw out another one. A great suspense technique was used to shoot the following film. This signature storytelling habit is Dafen's banana.
In traditional books, the script structure emphasizes four paragraphs: "rising", "inheriting", "turning" and "joining", while Hollywood script adds "rising", "falling", "rising" and "falling" to mobilize the audience's emotions and the rhythm of watching movies. Of course, the standard and neat "rise" and "fall" in this "Seven Deadly Sins" are well-adjusted. At the beginning of the story, it doesn't take much to turn to the "gluttonous" dead, the super-giant body, the dirty scene, and the weird death. The intense visual curiosity sends the signal of "I'm a dick film with a heavy taste" to the audience's mind. The literary drama is very suitable to be interspersed in various "dead scenes", and cool down the skills for the next exciting point of the plot. Although in the middle of the film, you clearly know that the fingerprint is the challenge book that the next deceased's chopped off hand gets (because there is still a large part of the film, it is obvious that the real murderer will not appear so soon). But "The Lazy" appeared in front of you in the form of a zombie. The most important thing is that he didn't die, and you had to say "Dafen, you are naughty again!".
However, for most of the film, it basically leaves the story twist at about 3/4 of the film's academic style. What Dafen likes most is to expose the main suspense of the film in the middle, and then create a new suspense as the climax. It can be said that the suspense film touches David Fincher deeply.
The reason for this feeling is that after watching "Gone Lover", I suddenly felt a sense of deja vu in the narrative structure of "Fight Club". In both cases, the big mystery is revealed around the middle of the story, but after the mystery is revealed, a larger or more exciting suspense is generated. This approach of placing the "turn" in the middle of the story, compared with the traditional three-stage Hollywood script, allows the audience to maintain a refreshing feeling of watching the movie, because it has a double-layered turn-and-turn three-stage narrative structure, and is progressive. As early as "Fight Club", the real bodies of Norton and Pitt were revealed earlier than expected, and the advancement of the story after this episode, designed a more anti-social plot. In "Disappearing Lover", when Xiaoben met his little girlfriend too much at his sister's house, the magical AMY began to reveal his real body, but the movie was only halfway through.
To test the validity of my intuition, I watched the film right away. Sure enough, Dafen's hobby is completely exposed in this film. The anti-social personality perverted high-IQ killer (the words Mao always appear together?) Around the middle of the film's broadcast time, he was easily tracked down by the witty library of Morgan Feynman. identity. Then the story takes a turn when the two passing hunters appear ("Desire" and "Pride"), and the killer turns himself in. A new big hang has been laid out.
In other words, there are such obvious and similar narrative hobbies in these three films, but it is not enough to prove that this is Dafen's iconic narrative hobby. So I immediately added Dafen's "Dragon Tattoo Girl". However, I am a little disappointed that this film is likely to be the 2:30 extended version I watched, and the rhythm of the film is relatively slow. Or in other words, it is easy to make mistakes if you need to filter the key content in the adaptation of your own novel. (It may be better if the screenwriter disappears from the original.) Dafen's narrative habit of revealing big mysteries in advance is not very obvious. Although it is not obvious, the naughty Dafen still wants to make this film a progressive propulsion structure. The answer to the old-fashioned story of "every rich family has a perverted child" has been pulled forward for a long time, and there is not as much time as the ending of ordinary movies. How to help 007 counterattack and put the dragon tattoo girl back The plot of the money. All in all, this movie is not as good as the above three movies.
Well, because I hope to discover this kind of narrative egg in more Dafen works, "Zodiac", "Social Network" and "Mind Game" will also be added later. I'm going to watch the film.
