But it is somewhat different from the charm of previous movies. It's not a plot, it's a plot. The boy fell in love with the girl and traveled all over the world to learn spells just to return to her, but she wanted to marry the prince. Fortunately, the prince is a bad person, so he can be killed reasonably and legally.
There's nothing special about everyone's character. Everyone's actions are not completely unified. Unlike Norton's other films, this one doesn't feature a gloomy, mysterious man that's screamingly rich. He's just an ordinary, gloomy, mysterious man who can't get to the bottom of it.
So what is special about it is that it uses a whole movie, with carefully crafted props and nostalgic light and shadow, to tell the story of a mysterious person coming and going in a penetrating style?
This statement seems to touch on something, but it seems to pass by.
So what's so special about it is the lackluster story? The story of a mysterious man returning to a small town, taking back his lover from the crown prince, and nearly overthrowing the dynasty?
Some of the details in the story are so incongruous that they make the dull story even more annoying. For example, the reason why the crown prince wanted to bring down the magician was just because his magic was nowhere to be found in the first place. From the police to the audience to the aristocrats and the crown prince, everyone was desperate for an explanation.
a scientific explanation.
It's a bit embarrassing to think so. The background of the story is in 1900. There are electric lights, there are projectors, there are a lot of mechanical blueprints, there are saws of monarchy and republic, and there is the theory of the combination of materialism and soul calling. By the way, does anyone feel familiar with the old bearded man who claims that "souls can be objectified"?
Some superficial echoes made me begin to suspect that there is actually a strict logic like "Pirates of the Dream" in this play, and its non-explaination and blank space have no intentions.
The blueprint for the orange tree was finally delivered to the police. That picture, pardon my clumsiness, I can't see how an orange tree can grow no matter what. At most, a complete tree can be pushed up from the bottom, but how can oranges grow on the tree?
Could it be that the orange tree trick just "owes an explanation"?
Mr. Police worked very hard to go all over the place and played various key roles.
Mr. Police likes "scientific" explanations, like the backflow of blood turning the paws white.
The policeman took the design drawing of the necklace and saw the mystery in it.
Mr. Police wanted an explanation. An explanation that he can understand and make inferences about.
Then he reasoned out the whole story of the hero saving Milang's concubine.
This is the magician's explanation to the audience. But we all know that there are many ways to say the story, the same elements, different combinations, will grow into completely different stories. In this story, we reasoned the magician's version of the story, which is a completely different path from the assumption of Mr. Police, such as black magic.
So this is still the story of a mysterious man who swept through Vienna, the cultural center in 1900, and swept away the lonely hearts of people after losing their faith?
No matter how much skepticism we may have about the narrative of the story, it's clear that the director has tempered that skepticism. The blank space is very obscure, the story is very calm, the plot has almost no climax, and the good and bad people are clear at a glance. The only variables are supporting roles, which gives the impression that they are used for drama. However, there is really no drama.
Obviously, history and fact, even if we vaguely feel it, are still background.
I don't know if it's the director who doesn't care or the director's atmosphere or the director didn't do it on purpose or the director is stupid. He has put so much emphasis on trivial objects, and after conveying the dazed search on the eve of the scientific explosion, he still focuses on the happy life of the couple.
As if all this background information is actually background.
It doesn't really matter at all.
What really matters is romantic love?
It felt like a change in the world of Thunder's wrath, and finally a chicken feather fell on the ground.
So, I still don't know what the point of this movie is. It's too quiet, there's almost no conflict, and it's too unlike a normal movie.
It's like standing in 2012 and watching a movie with an ipad.
Perhaps, standing at the end of an era to see what an era looked like before it began. That kind of feeling.
