The whole time I wondered if this was an all-star model show. It really is. The 1986 Palme d'Or is almost a shame at the level of Shakespeare in Love.
Generally speaking, in this case, the script is not good. I don't think the director is very good. The rhythm is weird, and the scene is not used. The main reason is that this film can obviously see a lot of money, and it has an all-star cast, so the screenwriter probably doesn't have much say. If Robert Bolt is at this level, it means that David Lean's script is written by himself.
None of the aboriginal characters have names. The last time I saw her portrayal was a female protagonist in a mainland western famous for her group of drunken riding horses and Ma Zhen. The aborigines probably felt the same way when they saw this film. Judging from this number of people, the aboriginal group has to row boats and move things, and each person can't actually get much money. To be cynical, one might find it easy to expect someone who wrote Lawrence of Arabia to write such a native.
There is a lot of budget, but you can’t get much of it. The natural environment is terrible, and the shooting is very tiring. Although the result was awarded, do you really think it’s worth it? This, friends, is what is called a bad job.
The best part of this film is the photography of tropical rainforest scenery. But you don't need to watch this movie. On the basis of the beautiful scenery, if you want to see the discussion of colonization and mission in South America, I suggest to watch "The Embrace of the Snake"; if you don't mind the white-centric perspective and want to see the history of wild South America, try "Aguirre, God's Wrath"; if you really don't want to criticize colonialism and just want to be excited by people's strong will, you can watch "Overland Boat". Most people don't watch this kind of movie after watching a good movie.
If you must, here are some highlights of it:
The best soundtrack, but you can also buy an original soundtrack and listen to it
For a higher budget National Geographic photography, maybe check out the film I mentioned above, or National Geographic
Motherhood shines Jeremy Iron, the kind of holy mother who holds her child's hand and promises 'we can die together'
The bad guy De Niro, who has changed his mind and returned to the righteous, has a good-looking slaughtering action. There is no problem in performing in a space where the characters are not very broad, but the scene where the slaver is accepted by the love of the aborigines who have no right to speak is outrageous.
Liam Neeson, soy sauce, but wearing monk robes. It doesn't matter, everyone has watched some not-so-good films for the actors they like, so there's nothing to be ashamed of
It's terrifying when you find out that some white believers really like the story.
I feel like I wasted two hours when I could have written my paper, but thank you for your work!
