Last week, I saw Zhang Weiping talk about "Boss Hall", saying that Zhang Yimou’s "Three Shots Surprise" would be very different, and it was a book bought from the Coen brothers, which was originally called "Blood Labyrinth." movie of. My instinct told me that watching "Blood Maze" first would be more worthy of this story. After checking, I found out that it was the Virgo who the Coen brothers turned out to be. That guy was much more poignant than when Ning Hao came out two years ago. The first movie I saw by the Coen brothers was the Oscar-winning "Old Nowhere". At that time, everyone said that the story of the Coen brothers was never invincible, and occasionally got an Oscar after a deep dive. Sure enough, the "Ice Blood Storm", "Three Kings Escape" and "Burn after Reading" that I saw later are all humorous and ridiculous. Sometimes I wonder what is the difference between the Coen brothers and Guy Ritchie. They are both good at bringing together a few teams and starting a chaos. Later, I figured it out a little bit. Guy Ritchie is a MV director in the end, fast editing, bright rhythm, and jumping plots are all his dishes; while the rhythm in the Coen Brothers movies is more tense and the shots are more poetic.
"Blood Labyrinth" was filmed in 1984, in which there was no familiar face except Frances McDormand, who was used by the Coen brothers, and Frances was in his youth, which is very precious. After seeing it, I discovered that this movie is too much like "Old Nowhere", even including the cowboy hat on the head of a private detective and the Erlang leg raised by the karaoke owner. There was once a film critic praised Francis Ford Coppola's "The Godfather" series, because it is impossible for any one person to put such a huge story, such a complicated relationship between characters in just a few hours, or even just straightforward. Speak clearly, but he did it. Although there are only five main characters in "Blood Maze" (this is not as good as Guy Ritchie, he and his group may have more than five), I can simply say that it is a story about a minor and murder, but I can't help it. Tell the whole story clearly in a blog. I could hardly find the thread of the story, it was a mess that moved my whole body. If you can't say it clearly, it spoils a good story.
So everyone, the movie is really not afraid of old age, just afraid of being ignorant. Find a time to listen to the Coen brothers telling you a story, it is better than director Zhang Yimou's duo.
