It was too dull. At first, I felt that I was paving the way for the back. But when I looked at it, I realized that the whole film was so dull. The latter part is better. The visually displayed officer’s atrocity dispels part of the dullness and boredom, but the pace of the later story advancement is too far from the previous one, too fast, and the last part is over before it slows down. I haven’t read the original work. I just checked the content on Baidu. This movie is far from the original work. It’s changed beyond recognition. (It can’t be said that it’s totally unrecognizable, but at least 60% is changed or omitted) , A bit of a donkey's lips are wrong with a horse's mouth. The strange relationship between the old man and the girl is also unclear. At least it is clear in the original book what the old man wants, but it is in the movie. . . Maybe it is to establish an image of consolidating the integrity of the old man? The theme is straightforward, that is, colonialism and the discussion about "who is a barbaric", even a little too straightforward and not touching deeper levels. The actors are all pretty good. Pattinson can play well, but he didn't give him a chance to show it in many ways; Mark Rylance portrays the protagonist indecisively, with a little weakness. I don’t know if I haven’t read the original. It should be like this. As for Depp, such a stubborn character is really unaccustomed, and still has a little bit of it. . . Evil, I don't think he is suitable for this kind of role, and he doesn't really have too many scenes. It's not until the last scene that he is upset and frustrated when he sits in the carriage. Depp looks pleasing to the eye like this.
