If the transfer fails, it is a blessing. Fortunately, I didn't miss it, and it can be regarded as a successful ending for the Shanghai Film Festival.
It’s been a long time since I watched such a sincere movie. Sitting in the theater and listening to the soundtrack designed for the storytelling, the old Zorro’s vigorous tone (automatically ignore the subtitles in the Chinese-English part), the young Zorro playing with swords and teasing horses. Growing up, Catherine's peerless look supported by 4K visual effects has a lot of touches beyond the movie itself.
The portrayal of Zorro’s image was caught from the beginning. Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone around him and cheering feverishly, he knew that he was definitely not a lonely Batman hero in the dark. The setting itself was very pleasant. However, the two Zorro are different, set off each other, and achieve mutual growth.
Old Zorro’s lines are full of humor and mystery, and the wonderful interpretation is very charming. Faced with what his daughter said and what has not been said, it makes people cry; the three things taught to the apprentice, sword, spoon, and mask, There is wisdom in life behind all of them.
The rhythm is not only smooth, but almost no minute was wasted. Every foreshadowing foreshadowing, there will be traces to follow afterwards, and the clues are interlocking. The hero line, the daughter line, and the revenge line all go first. The narrative 20 years ago is very crisp and neat, setting enough suspense to attract the audience. The love line came from behind, interspersed among the three lines, and the encounters of different identities were gradual, and the effect was not inferior to the main line.
The two "villains" are quite representative, interpreting the profit-seeking, hypocritical, and frustrating life of various upper classes, while Zorro represents the people at the bottom, expressing dissatisfaction and rebellion against oppression, and embodies the people. The voice formed a force to contend. Zorro itself is not terrible, but the support that he has been unable to get rid of for twenty years behind him, his persistent behavior, and the questioning of human inner moral laws are the real threats to Lafayette.
In addition to music, characters, narratives, and scripts, the rest such as scenery, costumes, sound effects, swordsmanship, circus, etc. are also remarkable. Watching the subtitles slowly scrolling through the job titles of the various film departments, I can deeply understand that it is the uncompromising and successful aspects of all aspects that have made the classic of "Zorro's Mask".
Many movies cannot portray reality, but reflect reality. If Zorro is the carrier of countless man-made dreams, then there is an overlap between him and the cinematic dream-making function. So the theater has become the best place to watch "Zorro's Mask".
The dream is successful, the hero ends, and the theater lasts forever.
