It is said on the Internet that "Ha Liu" is a movie without a climax. This sentence is not wrong at all. It was not until the end of the film that Principal Deng was knocked down by a spell from my favorite Snape, and then I felt a little climax. As mentioned earlier, Ha Liu acts as a link between the past and the next, so it is not a climax in itself, and of course it is not surprising that there is no climax.
In the entire Harry movie series, it may not be a bad thing that Ha Liu is in such an embarrassing situation, but if it is singled out, as for some people who haven't seen the Harry series, there are also those who haven't. From the book's point of view, this movie has a lot of problems.
The first is conflict. As I said before, there is no climax here. In fact, there is no conflict in the film. Harry's youth education is important, but he is not a mortal after all. No, Malfoy was happily repairing the transmission cabinet, and Harry was like a follower, that's all. The conflict in the dark line was the introduction of the concept of Horcrux, so Harry met the potions professor who liked him very much. Seriously, compared to Snape's ferocity, this professor is really good, so there is no cost to Harry. He Li took the Horcrux thing out of the way, of course, there are still some. As for those Death Eaters, there is almost no shadow in the whole play. It can be said that Harry is too comfortable in this episode, there are no hostile forces at all, so there is no conflict, and of course there is no conflict where the climax comes from!
The second is the problem of the main line. There are many clues in Harry's story, let's just talk about this one, Harry's love, Harry's spy on Malfoy, Harry's long-term friendship with Principal Deng, Harry's contact with the new professor, the story of Harry and the Half-Blood Prince, Including the clues of these people around Harry, especially the love of two friends, etc., which is shown in the film, as for the interests of the magic union and other interests in the original book, all of them are omitted.
There are so many clues to explain and develop, and it is not easy to adapt, so it should be divided into primary and secondary, but unfortunately, in the Ha Liu movie, these clues are almost interlaced in parallel, and it seems that there is no priority, so , the author thinks that the most impressive clue is the love between Harry's two friends, at least this clue is complete, Ron is not confident, and he is deceived into a hero, attracting his girlfriend, Hermione's jealousy, and finally the bad luck By mistake, the two came together.
As for other clues, they have become embellishments, painless, and without twists and turns. The title of the sixth episode is the Half-Blood Prince. Seriously, this thread should be more powerful. At least one must suspect that the Half-Blood Prince is the Old Demon, and Harry should also entangle the relationship with the Old Demon. It turned out that the book had little impact on Harry, and Snape's sentence finally solved the half-blood prince's answer. Since the process of guessing the riddle was not exciting, it would be of little significance to reveal the answer.
The conflict has been diluted, the main line is dislocated or missing, so this movie can only be said that it is not exciting enough. Of course, the guys like Harry have grown up, and the childlike interest has disappeared. In addition to the arrival of the dark world, I can no longer watch it. Going to the novel magical world, a depressing background makes the whole film as calm as Li Jing's car. It is obviously 5 kilometers, but it is a bit ridiculous to say that it is too exciting.
Of course, considering Ha Liu as a prequel of Ha Qi, the audience's interest may be greater, but this issue is estimated to be discussed in two years. At least for now, this Ha Liu is not very satisfactory!
