2011 Hollywood summer season is destined to be a battle that will not be forgotten, starting from "Thor" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" in May, and "X-Men: Lesson 1" and "Super 8" in the middle. " took over, and finally ushered in the final battle of "Cars 2", "Transformers" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)". Compared with all kinds of new classic blockbusters that are overwhelming and overwhelming, the early publicity of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)" only has the opposite slogan: It all ends. Everything will end, everything will end.
"Entertainment Weekly" has made a full fifty-page review of the Harry Potter film series. The beginning of the story is that in the past, once upon a time, anyone could easily comment on Warner Bros. buying the film and television rights of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". Business, "children's movies", "make some quick money", anyone can pat their chests and predict that the enthusiasm of fans will never last that long. The quality and style of the seven movies are difficult to maintain, and so on. However, in the magical world of one dream in ten years, seven original novels and eight films came one after another. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)" won the box office championship with $92.1 million in the first weekend, and within a few days after that It has broken various world records, the first midnight box office box office in film history, the first overseas premiere box office, and the fastest box office breakthrough of 100 million... The Harry Potter series undoubtedly has its own place in the history of human movies, and the United States still has The 300 theaters have specially set up a simulcast of eight movies, with a total length of about 25 hours. This is really a grand farewell party.
How about the box office, how about the world record, it is still a digression of the film itself, Harry Potter series screenwriter Steve Kloves said about the script creation of the last film: "Starting with "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", We have been discussing, as Harry Potter filmmakers, where is our responsibility to the audience." The expectations of global fans for the last capped work are close to infinity. See you in more than two hours.
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)" was defined by director David Yates as a "war movie". After a long period of preparation for the previous seven movies, the characters and contradictions have become very clear. The plot of this episode can be described in one sentence. Concealed: Harry Potter and his friends return to Hogwarts School, where they learned the first magic, usher in a decisive battle with the most powerful enemy. From the very beginning of the story, everyone knew that Harry Potter and Voldemort had a face-to-face confrontation with a wand sooner or later. But on the road to the final battle, the entire "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" filmmakers showed the highest level of a series finale can be achieved. This film inherits the gray-blue haze tone of the previous episode, Shen Yi does not despair, this is also the first 3D film in the Harry Potter series, and director David Yates is not very keen on how to make messes pop out on the screen. , on the contrary, he said humorously, "Maybe I'm more suitable for how to make each scene deeper." Believe in the scene where Hermione Ron and his party escaped from the Elf Bank on a dragon, and the subtlety of each scene at Hogwarts. The settings can all prove that the director is true to his words. It is true that the kung fu is in the clear, and the good steel is used on the blade.
In film history, there are countless unfinished endings of a series of films. Most of the failures lie in the flood of emotions. Excessive pretense and sensationalism will make the original film diehards nauseated. At this point, the moderation and accuracy of director David Yates has allowed Time, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Los Angeles Weekly, Chicago Sun, The Hollywood Reporter, New York Post and many other American magazines. Magazines give full marks. The audience will still shed tears of farewell while sitting in the dark auditorium. Those heart-wrenching moments were when the werewolf Lupin and Tonks were fighting side by side, and they reached out to each other in the air; it was Huo, led by Professor McGonagall. Gwarts teachers stood at the forefront of the school, launched magic into the sky together, and formed a huge protective net together; it was the injured students who supported them and insisted on using unskilled spells to fight against the dark wizards; it was Neville. He limped towards Voldemort and drew the Gryffindor sword from the Sorting Hat. Of course, there is also the second villain Snape's memory tour of tears. Under the big tree, the black-haired boy Snape met the girl Lily for the first time. He turned the leaves into birds, and she could make daisies bloom in the palm of your hand.
Also lauded by the mainstream media is Daniel Radcliffe's acting. Harry Potter is no longer the famous smiling boy with the lightning mark on his forehead, he has become a true magician who can face fate and death. Tom Felton, who played Malfoy, shouted to himself in the mirror when filming the last big scene, "I've been waiting for this moment all my life!" No one laughed at him on the field, because he was telling the truth. He has been playing this role since he was a child, and has grown into a young man in ten years. Who can say that these ten years are not his whole life? It's not just the young actors who have grown up, the eight films themselves are also a growing process in the past ten years. From the children's adventures of the first two parts, to self-discovery in adolescence, to knowing destiny and taking responsibility, loss and betrayal, to finally courage and love.
From any point of view, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)" is a perfect farewell, and it will definitely win the deserved honor in next year's Oscars, whether it is for us to contribute real and Stuart Craig, the art production veteran of the fascinating wizarding world, and Alan Rickman, who is Snape in the competition for best supporting actor. The decisive battle between the power of darkness and the power of light is over, but the world of magic has no end. That's why the reunion nineteen years later is so important. Nineteen years later, the scene at King's Cross Railway Station will be filmed and filmed again and again. In the end, the director chose to remove the deliberate age makeup and clothing, and weakened all the elements of digital special effects, so that the middle-aged Harry Potter and his buddies reunite in a bland and gentle environment and start their separate lives.
ps: Since it's a farewell, I have to reminisce. I remember that on my birthday ten years ago, my uncle and aunt gave me the first set of the first three books of Harry Potter imported from China. When I saw the colorful little people painting, the boss was not happy. At that time, he boasted a high level of reading, and he felt resentful that he was underestimated by adults. I couldn't sleep on my birthday night, so I thought I'd give it a chance, I just opened the first chapter, and I was going to sleep when I was sleepy. For the first time in my life I realized what a wonderful change it can make to let go of my prejudices, and almost, almost, I was going to be a Muggle through and through.
Might as well use Harry Potter as a code to distinguish who is looking up at the stars in the Muggle world.
