The director who shoots the masterpiece of the palace will have ambitions, and they often make themselves stretched because of ambition. Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Chen Kaige who failed because of "Wuji" ("Wuji" can barely be regarded as a palace drama) are all like this. Gongwei giant system is easy to attract attention, because it is a legend in another world, it can only please the eyeball, the audience can't see the intangible beauty, fancy clothes, extravagance, fine wine, and nothing for nothing, these are attractive appearances, they are not counted It is the protagonist of the court. Conspiracy, hatred, and killing all the words related to the dark side of human nature are the main tone of the court. This universal truth pervades all corners of the world. No matter which dynasty or country, power not only breeds corruption , also breed conspiracy. And the vulnerable love is just the embellishment of the conspiracy, it is precisely to set off the greatness of the conspiracy with the withering of love.
"Queen Margot" is a movie from many years ago. I remember seeing it on TV a lot when I was young. Every time I only have an impression of the clips, I have a mark on the massacre and love, and I don't know why. Massacre, unexplained love, and ignorance of the conspiracy, choice and struggle behind it.
I always thought that the romantic French would only show extreme love. I didn't expect them to be able to tell such a savage and slaughter story with great momentum. This history is really a bit difficult to understand, so I want to understand it. Movies need to make up lessons first, and close your eyes to straighten them out, and then open them up to watch. Because there are so many characters, it is easy to forget if you only glance at it in a hurry, so please pay more attention to the translation in parentheses. It's best to freeze it while watching, and let you match the person's name with the avatar, so don't mix it up. Basically, the characters who appeared in the wedding scene have already appeared, so even if they are frozen, it will not affect for long. After ten minutes are all done, you can enjoy the following plot happily.
This movie proves that not only Hollywood is suitable for such grand and complex movies, but the French who like to play small things are also good at navigating the court giant system related to love. Of course, which court does not have love.
The reason for putting aside my critical eyes and giving this film five stars is because I was struck by one of the scenes where the first massacre at the beginning of "St. It's not that the atmosphere here has deepened the sense of art, but the scene in which the Catholics collectively hold spears at the excited Protestants is really as beautiful as an oil painting, which is almost impossible to achieve in a movie. It is definitely a famous painting. From the composition to the texture, to the expressions of the characters and the emotions conveyed, after watching many shoddy Chinese films, I am a little uncomfortable with such a luxurious film style, even if Hollywood can't reach such a level. That feeling of oil painting only comes from history. From this scene, I admire the dead director Patrice Xiahou, he didn't go astray, he didn't just get infatuated with the court's costumes like Sofia Coppola, he didn't just think about conspiracy theories like Feng Xiaogang, and he didn't like Zhang Yimou. , only use Yamato colors to rule the court drama, and the fate of the characters should flow with history, not like a group of clowns.
Although the original author, Alexandre Dumas, wrote history like a joker, the director was obviously standing on the side of history and looked at the people of that time with an impartial eye. Margot's kindness and helplessness, Larmor's bravery and fearlessness, Henry's firmness and hard work, Queen Catherine's domineering and unwillingness to the demise of the dynasty, King Charles desperately trying to grasp the pulse of his own destiny, Anjou wanting the throne The ambition of the Duchess, the indifference of the Duchess' insight into everything and nothing to do with her... In addition to Isabella Adjani's beautiful eyes that can break the camera, Vincent Perez's handsomeness and bravery are also very encouraging Man, but this is not his most handsome time. The most surprising is Henry's actor Daniel Odeyer, who has successfully turned from the jumping clown at the beginning to an outstanding leader who is admired. What impresses people is his character. In the face of betrayal, he maintains Independent personality, and has not been eroded. Queen Catherine, as a doomsday ruler like Cixi, although her face is detestable, her mood is understandable.
Gongwei Juzhi always has a lot of wind and rain at major film award ceremonies. In the end, which of the best costume design, best makeup and other innocuous awards, "Queen Margot" is an exception, although it also failed to win It won three festivals for Best Picture and Best Director, but it doesn't lose the Cannes Jury Prize at all.
The charm of history will not disappear at all, it just depends on whether the current director can pluck that string.
