Film Review - Zero Dark Thirty - "Into the Paradox"
Robb 2022-04-23 07:01:24
For now, to digest the subject matter of the hunt for bin Laden, it seems to be eager to succeed. The information has not been fully opened, and the mood has not been completely settled. One end is a fully created drama, the other is a fully real record, and any middle line is inevitably biased, so in the end it still becomes a paradox, in other words, the time has not come. By and large, the film is a bit of a headliner: it still has a feminist core, that is to say, it can be seen as a complete body of "The Hurt Locker" (which is why the story of "The Hurt Locker" is always There is a strange smell), the inside story of the CIA, the search for bin Laden, the spear of the sea god... are actually reduced to foils, and audiences who hold this expectation will inevitably be disappointed. This is also roughly due to the commercial considerations of rewriting the script: catering to the world weakens the coordination of the tone and the tension of the plot, but this is an inevitable compromise at this point in time. The limitation of material finally led to the fragmented structure of the film, the focus of the plot shifted, and the handling of the documentary did not save the lack of integrity. However, the artistic efforts made by the entire crew are still obvious and worthy of praise, and the extreme neutrality and more comprehensive perspective have made this effort a step further, and these efforts even gave me an illusion for a time. : This film is adapted from a non-fiction literary work—perhaps as the screenwriter of a former military reporter, this was the original intention. In short, in all fairness, the film's depoliticized and realistic perspective is worth one star, the Poseidon's Spear is worth one star for the calm and accurate reproduction of the live broadcast level, and Chastain's unstressed and maddened Lawrence is worth one star. And Bigelow's high degree of self-expression is worth one star. It stands to reason that, as a film of the same period, its vitality still allows it to easily dwarf Escape from Tehran.

Perhaps bin Laden’s death really gave many Americans a lot of hatred. Obama didn’t even have the nerve to say that his favorite movie this year was this one. The American media is a bit narcissistic. Looking at first-hand material adaptations, he can’t hold back that citizen’s pride. Feel it. The director abandoned the genre structure and took the thriller as a documentary. Many jargons and narrative structures are also clearly fragmented. Fortunately, there are details, exclusive inside stories, and model workers. ★★★
