I remembered that when he said that Daben was bad when he took the play, he always thought "change here, change there, and finally change the ending and it will become a good movie", then Probably this film is really for fun, because the narrative has not seen the previous excitement at all.
I don't know why I insisted on using single-line narratives, but I think it would be better if it were multi-line narratives. The whole film is like a straight line with no ups and downs. Even the very passionate gang shootouts are cold and indifferent, as if they are saying "He is the protagonist, so just do whatever you want." And he really likes to use narration in this play, maybe because there is too much content in the book, there is no way to show them one by one. Thinking about it this way, I feel that the screenwriter really... wants to talk too much, but loses the point.
And all the emotional drama, not just love, including other brothers, family affection, etc., seems to be simple and hard to resonate. When I look at it, it feels like I am looking at an out-of-focus photo. I know what to say and what to express, but everything is vague.
As the plot progresses, the development of the character image is almost negligible. It's like setting up the character set long ago when you come out. If the advancement in the plot is not counted, then all you need is to be familiar with the character set. But think about it carefully, Daben's play, like Argo, seems to have this problem.
The favorite of this film is photography, and I checked it later. The director of photography is Robert Richardson, who is Quentin's queen. No wonder it's so great. In addition to photography, the scenery and costumes are all well restored, especially the filters are even better! I also like the soundtrack.
Absolutely starring in Daben...Well, sometimes I feel that watching Daben's drama has a feeling that one is better than one hundred, and one hundred is like one. From time to time in my mind, Nick (the protagonist in Gone Girl) travels back to the feeling of being in a gang war in the Prohibition era. Then he fell in love with Emma and was betrayed. After blackening, he became Batman...No, After being blackened, it becomes Douglas in The Town, and Douglas can be connected to Gone Baby Gone again... (Sorry, my brain is too big)
I can see that Daben’s acting skills are much better than before (.), at least it’s not full of facial paralysis anymore, it’s just that there are a lot of times when people are acting, I think it’s not as good as the accountant’s (his god acting skills) I think it's the embarrassing smile in GG, it really doesn't have the effect of changing anyone).
In addition, Daben has let himself go too far. Sometimes in the film he looks really...big...like 1.5 times that of others. Especially when he is tall, he looks like a little giant... (I just revisited Dogma, the contrast is terrible! Dogma is like a little angel!
There were times when the plot was dull, I didn't even think about it, or gave the film a two-star or something. But this is a film from Pearl Street! After all, I'm still a fan of his (base friend), think about it, maybe the biggest dissatisfaction is to play a three-star.
Finally, I heard that A Speck in the Sea is looking for a motor and a big show! expect! ! ! !
