It's both easy and difficult for me to talk about this movie. It's easy to say, because we can discuss the plot at will without worrying about spoilers, because the novel has all been published, and the plot has no secrets at all. It's difficult because I really don't know much about the previous plot. When I watched this "Half-Blood Prince", there were many characters in it, and I didn't know where they came from or where they were going. Sometimes even identifying who they are is a little harder, at least harder than identifying the robots in Transformers.
The plot of the movie can be described in eight words: heroes are short-lived, and children are long in love. The film is divided into two main lines, a career line and a love line. My eight-character judgment is aimed at these two main lines. This film, to put it bluntly, is a foreshadowing for the final climax - a foreshadowing of 153 minutes, full of foreshadowings, a posture of wanting to refuse and welcoming, wanting to talk and being ashamed, which makes people feel stuffy. I guess the director was also depressed, so he poured a large dose of love into the film, hoping that the film would not look too dull. However, I have to regret to point out that the simple love triangle setting and the unromantic love scene make this movie completely vulgar, these things we can get in any second-rate romance movie, and there are also surplus. All I can say is that a love drama that doesn't touch you at all is doomed to fail.
The biggest surprise in this movie is the clown character Malfoy in the past few movies. Compared to the short and dumb Harry, this dude is cool and handsome. Of course, this is not the point, the point is that this character is in the whole film. The film is the one with the strongest sense of hierarchy and the most plump characters. From the initial excitement of being chosen by Voldemort to be able to act for the tiger, to the struggle of unwillingness to kill and conscience, this emotion was vividly conveyed. And in the whole film, Malfoy doesn't bother to talk about love at all, and he focuses on his career, which is too serious. In contrast, Radcliffe (played by Harry Potter) has a lot of contrived interpretations of suffering. For example, in the face of the death of Headmaster Dumbledore, his performance is too superficial. He should go to see the year How Ethan Hawke handles a similar plot in Dead Poets Society.
To be honest, this movie with no beginning, no end and no climax is unsatisfactory, and even the death of the principal does not give people a sense of tragic and solemnity. Harry Potter is as useless as ever, and even the heavyweight suspense of "Half-Blood Prince" that appears in the title is just a vest for someone in the end. As for the gorgeous magic visual effects, it was the Death Eaters who gave me a little surprise. Can I comfort myself like this? The director is deliberately keeping our expectations low in order to give us a big surprise in the last episode.
