Darkness spreads from then on-film review of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"

I was in this winter vacation and started watching the Harry Potter movies from the first one. This is not only to fulfill my long wish, but also to form an overall understanding of Harry Potter movies. Watching a series of movies is always like this. If you want to clarify the big story of the movie, you must find a time to watch the entire series completely. This kind of feeling is especially prominent when I watch the "Chain Saw" series. If I only watch the middle three parts, Chainsaw Cry can only be reduced to a thorough bloody horror movie, losing the ultimate exploration of human nature and the social order. redefine. Back to Harry Potter, it’s a pity that I have never read a novel. At that time, there was a bookstore that could be borrowed, but the seven books of Harry Potter were very popular. I waited for two weeks and still haven’t When I waited, I also dispelled the idea of ​​reading the original. Maybe after watching eight movies, I might read a novel.

Back to the topic, this Harry Potter is the darkest one I have seen so far. If every Harry Potter movie can correspond to a theme, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" tells "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is about "growth", "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is about "causality", "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is about " conspiracy". The foreshadowing of the first three parts finally made a key progress in this one: Voldemort was resurrected, and his former subordinates were summoned to begin to accumulate strength and prepare for a big fight. When it comes to the character of Voldemort, I am ridiculous and hateful. It is ridiculous that his original intention to become the King of Darkness was simply to complete the "great task" of eliminating impure wizards. After being defeated, it is better to live in someone else's body than to die. He also needs to look around for things that can continue his life to prevent the soul from disintegrating; Detestable. He didn't know how to repent and thought that he would be able to dominate the magical world when he was resurrected, and he killed an unknown number of characters that were beloved by the audience (including Harry and his wife of course). But it is undeniable that Voldemort has indeed been resurrected, and his power has returned. Now everything is ready, except that he was defeated by Harry Potter in the last episode.

Why is this one about "conspiracy"? There are many things that can be reflected in the film.

1. The scene described at the beginning of the film runs through the whole film: Voldemort plans to resurrect and let Wormtail and Barty Crouch Jr. go to work. The innocent old man was actually Harry himself, and Barty Crouch Jr. played a pivotal role in the back. It can be said that without him there would be no resurrection of Voldemort. "Wormtail" first appeared in the previous movie. When the werewolf transformed, it took the opportunity to escape and disappear without a trace. The traitor is a traitor after all, and a black heart cannot get better. It really went to look for it. The master is gone. This minion really did his best to chop off his hand to bring the master back to life. Didn't it ever wonder what would happen to it if the master thought it was useless?

2. The main line of the film is the "Goblet of Fire Xeon Wizard Challenge", from Harry's inexplicable selection, to the arrival of the first magic broom, to the peculiar effect of breathing grass provided by Neville in the second, to the third labyrinth Krum, who has been hit by evil, to the Goblet of Fire, which has been magically turned into a "port key", is all behind the scenes of Barty Crouch Jr., in order to lead Harry to the cemetery and get his Blood to complete the resurrection ritual. As for why Batty didn’t take Harry’s blood directly or take Harry to the cemetery, one is because Principal Dumbledore would suspect and stop it, and the other is that Batty was originally a wanted criminal, and he might be caught by Deng even if he acted rashly to show his true colors. Blido discovers its conspiracy. So he cleverly let Harry go to the cemetery by himself, not only eliminated his suspicion, but also completed the task, killing two birds with one stone, extremely cunning. Regarding the liquid in his bottle, there is a small foreshadowing. It was mentioned in the first half of the film. Someone asked what was in the Moody bottle. Harry said: "It's definitely not pumpkin juice." He appeared on the scene (Huo Gvorz’s ceiling is full of thunder, clouds are overwhelming, and those who come are not good!) He focused on Harry, and all his actions were mainly to induce Harry to take the bait. This was also a foreshadowing.

3. Sirius does not have many roles, but it leads to a dark line in the film: friendship. In this episode, there were some small conflicts between Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Ron thought Harry no longer trusted him and acted without telling him anything. Harry felt very innocent. Sirius’s last command to Harry was "Keep your friends close, Harry." Foreseeing the conflict between Harry, Ron and Hermione, but Harry didn’t really contradict them, it’s just a little unpleasant, they Hermione’s friendship is stronger than that of Jin, from what Ronto Hermione told Harry Dragon, and the details of Harry trying to save Ron and Hermione at the same time under the lake, and Hermione’s confrontation with Harry and Hermione at the end of the Christmas party. Ron's confession showed their deep and sincere friendship. The feelings between them were strengthened by the resolution of small contradictions, laying the foundation for the formation of a united front in the future war.

4. The Malfoy family appeared less frequently in this movie. One time, Marvel Jr. was teased by Professor Moody, and one time when Marfoel showed his heart in front of Voldemort and claimed that he would do his best for Voldemort's reign in the future. play hard. Therefore, it can be concluded that Marvel has a conspiracy in the next film.

5. The biggest conspirator in the Harry Potter series is undoubtedly Professor Dumbledore. In "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", Dumbledore performs a great shift, using the hands of Harry and Hermione to use time Reverse freed Sirius, deceived the Minister of Magic, and made Harry realize that this is the high state of conspiracy. In this movie, Dumbledore knew that Harry was being used by others, and even let Harry participate. In fact, he wanted to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, that is, Barty Crouch Jr. Dumbledore showed up in time and stopped him when Li put his death, but every time he was so timely, it was definitely not as simple as "just passing by". Imagine if there is no close surveillance and long-awaited calculations, who would appear at such a coincidental moment for no reason? Another thing is that Dumbledore deliberately let Harry learn about the trial through the memory disk. Why did Harry see this memory? Because Dumbledore knew that Harry had dreamed of Barty Crouch Jr., but he didn't say that he wanted Harry to find out for himself; because Dumbledore wanted to hint Harry and be wary of Barty and his son. At the end of the film, when Dumbledore and Harry talked about his parents’ sudden appearance in the cemetery, Dumbledore knew before Harry could speak that Harry saw his parents and said what flashback curse was there. There are a lot of things Blido did not say, such as the relationship between Harry and Voldemort, the reasons for the appearance of Harry's parents, such as why Harry was able to fight Voldemort alone for so long, everything will be revealed in the later film. Speaking of Dumbledore’s plot layout, it has already started from the first part. Whenever he needs him to appear, he will use magic to rescue Harry and put Harry on the right track. He is Harry Potter. The biggest layman in the story, the most muffled and rich man, the greatest savior.

Starting from "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", Harry's story is no longer a children's drama for elementary school students to watch. The plot turns to the confrontation between darkness and light, to the arduous task of saving the world, to a person The cognition of self has turned to in-depth philosophical discussion and the disclosure of human nature. Strictly speaking, the Harry Potter series (at least as far as the movies are concerned) are not superficial stories like "The Magical Adventures of Young Harry". It may not be easy for children to see these stories. Something, so I jumped to a conclusion: "Harry Potter" is a magical story for adults.

    The 150-minute film still feels too hasty. Some scenes and props are simpler than imagined.
