In the 1960s and 1970s, the Hong Kong translation of foreign film titles liked to use 7 characters, which may have something to do with the profound knowledge of ancient Chinese writing. Similar names also have a tree pressing pear flowers and begonias (Lolita). to Eternity), Westerns have mountains, rivers, blood, tears and beauty (The Big Country), romance films have Pengmen (The Quiet Man), is it the same person?
This masterpiece-Three Hours, Director Lai Aung Naiyi is a daring and daring man. The opening scene only took 14 minutes. To sum up, the whole scene is nothing but the Avengers and bandits to deal with the landlord and the bully and help the new widow. It was turned into an epic blockbuster.
After the screening, famous film critics Mr. Ming appeared, and praised the blockbuster from many angles. The
soundtrack is also huge, a certain part is very familiar, and Jiaming's words were used directly by a generation of masters, no wonder.
Why don't you feel boring in three hours, the director's method of scheduling is the key, as simple as a decision Fighting and shooting, they are all arranged in a long time and from multiple angles. Or if the characters appear, they are not flat and straightforward, and more music is used to open the way, and long shots are moved. Wait for it to appear, or let him enter from the side, and the person will only see the side, and then come out from the side. And every time there is a lot of blank space, there is space and time for the audience to imagine the anxiety, and it will not break out until the most tense moments. The characters have outstanding personalities, which makes it impossible not to identify with them, so that they care about them, which strengthens the dramatic tension and makes people ignore them. The passage of time. The
protagonist is the famous Raptors detective Charles and the villain star Henry Fonda, the two are not cool!
Unfortunately, the reality and the western part of the movie are equally cruel. Back, fortunately I was sitting in the first row, but I still heard the voice of "sorry".
At the end, the protagonist took the dead body of his friend and went away in the desert and mountains, leaving the strong heroine alone. Boat (no impression - the male lead is too prominent), this is enough to make her famous in the history of photography, her name is Claudia Cardinale.

    I was so crying, and made up for the regret of not being able to go to the Shanghai Lions Film Festival in September last year. When the theme music was released, there was a sigh of emotion: the martial arts movie should start like this, a hundred thousand li in the sand. When the close-up was in the close-up, the figure of a girl dangled from under the screen, and the contrast was so strong. In the gaze, whether the decent party or the villain Mr. Railway, people are full of faith and hope in this (western) world, waiting for the train to enter the station (arrival)

    The cctv6 national edition, the western film has an epic thickness, and each character is distinct and distinct. Despite the similar styles, Leonne has more idealism and heroism than Coppola, so he rejected "The Godfather" and made the "Once Upon a Time Trilogy". This "Once Upon a Time in the West" is indeed worthy of The title of "the greatest western film in history", the desert and yellow sand, rewarding good and punishing evil, and happily enmity, presumably the "New Dragon Inn" by the old stranger is the true story of Leon. But this is the first time I saw Uncle Fonda acting as a villain on the screen, and he was so scumbag and so powerful and hateful (it can be called the best villain in Western films). It seems that a good actor with a gentleman type would play a badass. , I am afraid that even the real bad guys are ashamed. I just don’t know why. Whenever the ethereal singing melody of the female voice in "C'era Una Volta Il West" is played, there is a magical feeling that the soul is out of the body and the whole body is soggy. I'm afraid this is the magic of the movie soundtrack, right? In memory of Morricone, the soundtrack master who has just passed away, thank you for letting the sound of yesterday keep moving us today.
