Today, "Tomb Raider's Confession" still brings its unique double effect of praise and criticism amidst the voice of doubt. The appraiser is that this film sticks to the original legendary story characteristics. It is very appropriate in the background of European castles and dark themes. Many fans admire and relive the classic legend. And the detractor, declare that I count as one. This movie is just telling a ghost story, and its level is a "Story Meeting".
The style of the film tends to be darker tones, and the background is also very aesthetically black, which is also the most optimistic feature of appraisers. Moonlight, dead trees, ancient castles, and tombs constitute a classical environment. All the breeze and the strange screams are perfect and flawless. If you look at the mainstream tone alone, it is indeed considered to be the best. It's a classic masterpiece, but it doesn't want to be so constrained by itself. When everything is well laid out, the director has to play a black humor, blending horror and horror into humor and funny. In addition to absorbing classic elements, the whole film is also forced to be infused with alternative modern elements. Although the story will take place in the early century, it will not affect the pace of the times of the whole film. In the middle of the story, it also introduces The alien looks like a tomb. Not only is the protagonist unconscious, but at the moment when the villain disappears, the decision he made is to eat. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this link is an "accident" that is by no means an accident.
It is not absurd to say that this film is a story. There is no overall clue and subject construction in the plot. This was when the priest Duffy wanted the cause of his son's death, and forced the criminal Arthur to tell the story of the robbery. We can judge and analyze in this way. The director or screenwriter may not have written the script beforehand. All stories are composed of paragraphs, but the protagonist, city, and environment remain unchanged. The story of the elites in the tomb robbery industry. And the only thing that gave me some praise is the story of the doctor's acquisition of the dead body. I think this is the only story that has the characteristics of a story and is malleable. However, it is interrupted by the short story as the later paragraph levels. Disrupted the overall structure, making this movie completely a story, telling short stories.
In addition to the unexpected themes of tomb robbers and ghosts, the story also injects elements of friendship and loyalty. As Arthur and Weili are provoked by a lusty woman on the desert island, the story has grown into a meaningful film of revenge and friendship. When the living dead competed with Murphy (Duffy's son) one-on-one on the desert island, Arthur and Weili fled back, but they still couldn't escape the ineffective legal sanctions. Two famous tomb robbers were brought to justice. Yu Fa, that is, the part that appeared at the beginning, but because of being bitten by the living dead, his mighty head was severed, but his body was already immortal, and he finally saved Arthur who was murdered by priest Duffy. Friendship and loyalty have meaning at the end, but in fact there is no value to the movie itself. If this kind of meaning is contradictory in the plot from the beginning, it may be more dramatic and impactful as a whole, but the story is small Part of the big contrived talk about friendship and loyalty will only make it more sluggish. Most people can't see the "human touch" in it.
However, it should be noted that this film was actually recruited in the end. Most of the close-up shots in the story are just copied after copying, and special effects after special effects. It is just that the story is a little absurd. What is commendable is that the story Zhong has always been suspenseful of the scene in the tomb. We often see the protagonist’s expression first, and then the ghost thing itself. In fact, on the desert island, the moment the woman takes off the mask. It should also be thought that the director will not let you see everything, except for imagination or imagination. As for the marginal characters of Weili and Arthur, it can be said that the small characters in the lower class of society, in all kinds of legends, the humor and optimism that can be expressed are indeed difficult for others. In this sense, we are still teaching people to live bravely and enjoy life happily.
In the end, Murphy is not dead, and there may be a sequel, a compromise to business! But I have to say the old trick. Almost every thriller and horror film will be used, but not necessarily, every one has a sequel~~.
