I watched the American version of "12 Angry Men" again~ It turned out to be so good!
Brushed the Russian version of "Twelve Angry Men: The Great Judgment" ~ MLGB what the hell?
This Russian version of the fat auntie, the first feeling is that she is tired and looks really tired...
Not only because the length of the film is twice as long as the original, but also because this film is too long-winded, and the TMD is long-winded!
The director seems to want to use this film to bring a lot of pain and suffering to the country and society, which are full of scars and conflicts. Therefore, the constant flashbacks, the constant flying of birds, and the constant let each juror escape from the discussion and talk about personal history, which dilutes the essence of the script "case reasoning, reasoning suspense and a sense of rhythm. Buckle" makes the play full of urine.
In short, in the case of substituting into the country, the Russian version is not as good as the Chinese version. Every juror is a chicken soup uncle who is like "I have a story, I want to tell you, you should start listening", regardless of whether the story is All you need for the plot reasoning is to say it yourself~ As long as I tell the story, I will agree to vote for not guilty, not because I voted for not guilty because Li Jufu on the 8th... Let me watch and swallow blood , TMD who said to listen to your story! ! ! The whole person is not well.
Speaking of changes, there are many changes in the Russian version. In the original play, many of the plots that promote the development and transition of the plot are useless or have been changed. For example, the original No. 8 juror "Are you really going to kill me?" The wonderful confrontation, the testimony of the former female witness that the tram passed by, the original intention of juror No. 2 played by the director himself to vote guilty at the closing stage of the discussion, and the advocacy of taking responsibility for children to find the real culprit, the final shirk of responsibility of the hero No. 8, etc. Wait... These changes have made the presence of No. 8 very weak, making the whole film look very loose and have no protagonist. Although the No. 2 juror insisted on casting guilty, it was very eye-catching, but he still couldn't escape the conclusion that all the members passed the acquittal. The perfect hope for the ending to achieve a plot twist of the prisoner's final imprisonment and the 12 Angry Men united to "find the prosecutor, go through the back door, find the real murderer by all means, and then let the kid out" was dashed. It's unpleasant to watch. (Since it is said that the theme of this film goes deep, everyone is healed in the end. So why is no one willing to stand up and help the little boy except for the No. 2 juror played by the director?)
Finally, let's talk about the Russian version of the flashback plot before the boy was imprisoned in order to innovate a lot. If I were to adapt the play, I would do it -- at the beginning of the discussion, flash back to the boy's origin and the influence of his family environment on him, and insert a lot of crime scene reenactment in the process of reasoning. It makes the movie more visual in the discussion of the case, and changes the mode of the original single scene.
But the stereotyped Russians didn’t do this. The flashbacks were all about the cruelty of the Chechen war and the trauma the child suffered before being adopted. There was no mention of the psychological changes of the child after entering a new family, which made " Did the little boy kill someone?" This suspense lost its suspense early, and made all the flashbacks out of the jury's statement, and the jury's story statement out of the case reasoning... Dayou's father-killing case itself is not important, as long as the jurors finish the story and the movie can end the immediate sense of the boy being released. Therefore, the spiritual core of the original play has been changed to be nondescript. Drawing tigers is not like anti-dogs!
Finally, I borrowed the words of a short comment: why are you shooting so fancy?
