The pace was found to be slow and the plot lengthy. Pete's presence is optional, and he speaks broken Italian. I didn't understand the part about the underground tavern. The heroine is ugly. Instead, I am interested in French fruit cakes.
The second time, listen to the soundtrack and see the details.
The film begins with the French countryside, where the houses are all on the slopes. Very soothing music. Suddenly, the Nazis came, and the owner of the house quickly splashed cold water on his face in order to cover up his nervousness. As soon as the "Hound Dog" entered the door, the music gradually diminished, setting off a very tense atmosphere. In the last question in English, I could clearly see the owner of the house in a cold sweat, which made me hold my breath. After Susannah escaped, the hound was still shouting at the door, hurry up, it was extremely inhumane.
In the middle, Suzanne and the Hound "reunited" at the dinner, and put her hand on her shoulder when she entered the door. At this time, the music was a kind of fast hard drum, thumping, pounding, pounding, like the sound of a human heartbeat, which gradually accelerated. The female lead in this segment is very good. I have to say that Director Quentin knows people very well. I couldn't wait to finish the cake, and when the hound left, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and cried out, all in one go. There is also a small interlude in the middle, the action of the hound sticking the cigarette butt on the cake is very powerful, suggesting that killing Susannah is as simple as killing a fly.
The first part of the underground tavern is the highlight, in which the actresses have the opportunity to play with each other, play with ease, and it is a wonderful play within a play. Both the German officer and the Englishman pretending to be a German officer were brilliant, even though they only played for less than 20 minutes together. Dialogue, eyes, small movements, there are many things to watch.
Finally, the climax of the end of the theater. The heroine couldn't bear to shoot the German hero to the ground, and suddenly she became sympathetic and went to check the injury. The hero fought hard and used her last strength to beat the heroine to death. The sound of the gunshots was covered up by the movie being played. The heroine turned around gorgeously, dressed in a charming red dress, and blood was sprayed where the gun exploded. This long shot and the soundtrack are enough to go down in history. It is definitely a must for film professionals. One of the tutorials to watch.
True, the details make or break.
Brad Pitt is the only celebrity in the film. I think the character setting is understandable, but he shouldn't play it. It's not that his acting skills are bad. It's just because his fame attracts everyone's attention, but it's easy to jump out of the plot.
The heroine is not good-looking, and she doesn't look as good as the actress. The big face plate that finally transmits on the big screen is also very contrived. The plot is ridiculous, but also full of irony. Quentin still does his best in the bloody scenes. The film is full of scenes of scalp cutting, carving swastikas on the forehead, and bloodshed after being shot, which is very enjoyable.
There is still room for improvement in the script, but the overall effect is very good.
In short, tribute to director Quentin, he gave us a good choice other than Johnnie To.
