more appropriate to say "Robin Hood" rather than "Robin Hood". This film was not long in Ridley Scott's creative career, but it wasted two and a half hours in vain. Telling a tedious but tedious story, it's a blowout to moviegoers looking forward to seeing Robin Hood rob the rich and help the poor.
The biggest flaw of "Robin Hood" is that each structure lacks a real climax, and the content of the narrative cannot be clearly stated, which leads to the film having a technical level comparable to any blockbuster in the same period, but unable to outline any personality A clear role to come. Counting the growth of Robin Hood in the film, even if a tortuous line can be clearly figured out, from daring to tell the truth, to running away in disobedience, from pursuing wandering the world, to taking the initiative to undertake the mission of sending swords, it seems to be able to see the maturity of young heroes , but from the perspective of the viewer after the substitution, you will find that the male protagonist's position is swaying, there is no progressiveness, and at the same time, it lacks the driving force of the plot, and it is not convincing. A personal hero who is on the edge is always underappreciated and hated by the upper echelons, and there will always be a woman who silently supports in his life. This woman will always release the hero's male hormones at the most critical time and help him overcome the one who has always been. The haze suppressed over his head. In the end they lived happily ever after. If Disney-produced "Prince of Persia" follows this routine is the cultural decision of the film company, then "Robin Hood" is also lazy to follow this route, is it a bit suspicious of self-depreciation.
Robin Hood, played by Russell Crowe, appeared with his standard melancholy eyes, and also ended with his versatile and strong figure. There was no surprise and no change, and we have watched it for many years. If this is the teenager before Robin Hood in the true sense of robbing the rich and helping the poor, then Russell Crowe's appearance is too old. Look at Marion interpreted by Cate Blanchett. Although Kate is a powerful queen-level actor, her match with super tough guy Russell Crowe. The old couple, who have no passion, fell in love from the first meeting to the test and finally fell in love, and the feeling of hardship is always shrouded in the film.
In the name of "Robin Hood", the film tells how Robin Hood became a hero in the green forest. It seems that Christopher Nolan reconstructs the Batman series and concocts the taste of the so-called "prequel". However, although Nolan's Batman prequel is in a certain way To a certain extent, it analyzes and answers the growth experience and inner struggle of such a dark knight, but its iconic every move is worth a lot of money. In the growth process of a gladiator who pursues freedom, except for the magic bow and arrow skill of piercing through Yang Lie's hair in a hundred steps, there is no "Robin Hood" element in the general sense. It can be said that Scott inserted a random story into a space in the Middle Ages. Even if the director only hopes to find a new perspective to narrate the legend of Robin Hood in a unique way, he should not forget the nature of running a commercial film, not to mention, such a Robin Hood is really lackluster. If it really shows a historically real Robin Hood as the film's slogan says, then I'd rather give up that kind of realism. After all, no one in the cinema expects to see an ordinary person's boring non-epic.
But take a step back to liberate from the text, and look at the fate of the films such as "Blade Runner" and "Kingdom of Heaven". It is not difficult to find that Scott is a director who has been castrated by the Hollywood system. The release version and the director's cut version The huge gap between the box office and word of mouth makes him forever bound by the invisible and ignorant black hand in the battle for box office and word of mouth, and it is extremely difficult to use his fists. Combined with the kind of freedom that Robin Hood blindly pursues in the film, Scott's greatest desire in the Hollywood production system is whether, like Robin Hood, will he get rid of the repression of the dictatorial and limited film company bosses and let the screen of the cinema be free What about the complete original ecology showing his undefiled creation as an artist?
