v2 Chapter 333： The film is not dull

"The narrative rhythm is still too fast, why can't it really slow down and explore the characters' hearts and emotions deeply?"

In another theater in New York, the film critic Richard Chris of the "New York Times" saw that the film switched to another line, and it only took about five minutes to describe the grief of Catherine's mother and daughter, and he couldn't help frowning, "The film It should be slower..."

Unlike Richard Chris, the surrounding audience felt that the rhythm of the film was a bit slow, not as exciting as Duke’s previous films. Although the emotional conflicts in it can also resonate with them, the rhythm is indeed slow. some.

After all, this is not a purely commercial film. If you want to form a three-line narrative structure, every line must be explained.

However, in the final analysis, a small production such as "One Hundred Thousand Rush" can attract audiences, one is Duke's own appeal, and the other is the most intense police and robber gunfight in the history of the United States before the Bank of America.

To put it bluntly, most of the audience walked into the theater, and what they wanted most was the shootout, and Duke also proved with the film that this is what he is good at.

A movie can't be all gunfights, otherwise it will inevitably lead to aesthetic fatigue. Duke will also use the movie to practice his hands. Some content must be a lot, and once he wants to touch the character's heart1, the emotion and rhythm will naturally be slow.

The film has been transferred to the narration of the two gangsters, Larry and Emir, especially Emir, which is the focus of the film.

This is a dream. It depicts Emile Matasalinu in his childhood and adolescence. He suffered from family fragmentation at the age of just sensible and had to live with his mother in a mental hospital. For minors In terms of it, it's like hell, and it's even more terrifying. He was later beaten by a sick patient and suffered from epilepsy...

In mainstream Hollywood films, no one is naturally a bad person, and it is not only his own cause that Emil has come to this point.

"He is a little pathetic."

Although living a rich life since childhood, Ivanka? Trump is not a lady who knows nothing. "There is a reason why he has fallen to this point."

But as soon as her sympathy arose, the Emil, who was awakened by the dream, used a merciless reality and was beaten to pieces.

Emile found the epilepsy control medicine in the iron box containing the pistol and bullets. After taking it, he gradually calmed down. After he calmed down, he was even more cruel and terrible. He encouraged Larry to rob the bank again and began to prepare for it.

Pistols, automatic rifles, thousands of bullets, double-layer Kevlar body armor, even the position of the arms and legs. They all prepared specially sewn double-layer Kevlar material.

The two vowed to grab $1 million and mentioned in the conversation that if the police arrived or encountered other obstructions, those people would be screened.

"It takes time for swat to get to the scene." Emil was confident. "In all robberies, the first people to arrive at the scene are patrol officers and ordinary detectives. They don't have automatic weapons. They only have pistols and a small number of them. Shotguns. These guns do not threaten us at all..."

In order to achieve the goal of the robbery, the two began to look for a suitable bank and money transport truck.

"What is this doing?"

Seeing the film, he switched to Officer Michael's side. Richard Chris' brows tightened. "Why don't you dig deeper into the inner world of the criminal. Now that you have made an explanation, you should continue to dig, rather than stop it!"

However, the film just didn't develop according to his ideas.

The relationship between Officer Michael and his daughter seemed to break at any time. But he can't take care of these now, he is busy exploring every clue of the robbery, and everything is telling him that the two inhumane bandits will still robbery.

Richard Chris wants to see the inner world of the gangster. I also confessed, but as he thought, a lot of things are just a little touchy. For example, both of them are bodybuilders. The distance between the family environment and happiness when they grew up is about the distance between the United Kingdom and the United States.

But what makes Richard Chris dissatisfied is that every time after describing the gangster’s heart and past, the film will then explain their preparations for the next robbery, and use the cold and cruel reality to break the audience’s just-rising one. A little bit of sympathy.

"This is basically to cater to the mainstream audience, to cater to the needs of the California State Government and the Los Angeles County Police Department!" Richard Chris was a little angry. The film can completely reverse the characters and make some defenses for the two people, thus revealing the entire United States. A profound social issue, "Directors must have independent thinking! They must have the spirit of dedication for art!"

Obviously, Duke does not have this spirit. To be precise, most directors, including Spielberg and James Cameron, do not have this spirit, except for some independent film circles who like to talk to themselves. The directors and others are catering to the needs of mainstream society, rather than confronting them.

If Duke really made the film according to Richard Chris's ideas, what is waiting for him, the first-line director? It must be unanimous shelling by the mainstream media!

And the good relationship he had reached with the Los Angeles County Police Department from "Life and Death" will break!

In this country, the law seems very fair. In fact, everyone understands that whether it is a police station or various agencies, there are also many shady insides.

Borrowing videos to reverse the case or speak for two culprits who have long been characterized? Or even just arouse sympathy? Duke had never planned this way.

Therefore, after explaining the culprit's past, he will always remind the audience that they deserved the crime with the reality that the other party is planning another shocking robbery!

"They should be killed directly!"

Around Richard Chris, many viewers were talking like this, and the face of this famous film critic was a bit ugly.

No matter what he thinks, he cannot change the plot of the film.

At the husband’s funeral, Catherine and Luta’s mother met Police Officer Michael again. Facing this family that was so sad that there were no tears, Michael could only dryly promise to catch the murderer again.

But Michael hasn't found the culprit yet, and faced another problem. He returned home and found that his daughter was actually taking cocaine!

The contradiction between the father and daughter broke out completely, the character was persistent and the professional relationship he was engaged in. He insisted on sending his daughter Lily to the drug rehabilitation institution. When the two quarreled fiercely, he received a call to find clues and had to leave home temporarily to pay attention to the case.

"Have you cared about me? You never cared about me!"

Looking at her father's back, Lily's eyes were full of disappointment, "You only have work in your eyes. I am not your relative, your relative is l.a.p.d!"

She sat on the sofa in pain, even if she was sent to the rehab by her father, she felt better than now.

Michael’s partner found a clue. According to Michael’s analysis, the gangster might have robbed a bank in North Hollywood, but this kind of analysis without evidence will inevitably not be supported by his boss. North Hollywood is one of the most prosperous areas in Los Angeles. One, it is impossible for anyone to block this area just by guessing.

However, the person in charge of the police station also decided to send surveillance helicopters to this area at dawn tomorrow.

On the other hand, Larry and Emil had already decided to rob the bank of America's money transport truck the next day, and they were doing preparations indifferently.

At home full of grief, Catherine plans to take her daughter to the Bank of America tomorrow to handle the financial problems left by her husband.

At dawn, Michael made a phone call to his house and made sure that Lily was still at home, driving a car with his partner into the North Hollywood area.

This is the last Friday of February, and the North Hollywood area is as busy as it used to be. The Bank of America on Laurel Valley Avenue hasn’t opened yet. Katherine drove there, but Ruta didn’t want to enter the bank. Katherine told her daughter to say Stay in the car and walk towards the bank.

Not far away, a white Chevrolet car slowly parked on the road that the vehicle must pass in front of the bank. Larry and Emil were more bloated than at the beginning of the film. On the back seat of the car was an ak47 with a drum. , They are waiting for the arrival of the cash transport truck.

On Laurel Valley Avenue, Michael dressed in casual clothes and drove by the Bank of America with his partner, but stopped due to road congestion. They found no abnormalities. After contacting the helicopter in the sky, they learned that there was a nearby incident. The car accident caused congestion in the North Hollywood area.

In the Los Angeles County Police Department, the black policeman James has just received his weapons and equipment and is about to start a day of routine training with his swat team.

In the community of Los Angeles, Lily slowly woke up on the sofa for the whole night, went to the bathroom to wash briefly, and turned on the TV. The owner of the abc TV station was introducing Los Angeles through a helicopter in the sky. Bad traffic conditions.

It was a very ordinary morning, everything seemed to be dull, no one realized that a terrifying case that shocked the United States was about to happen.

Richard Chris looked at his watch, and the film had only passed 50 minutes, and the director actually reserved 40 minutes for the shootout! This is simply an unforgivable mistake!

The film should use a longer length to explain the psychological changes of the characters, rather than messy gunfights!

This is a film adapted from facts. Duke Rosenberg is simply wasting the subject!

He was a bit angry, but the audience around him was full of expectations. They knew the director's ability to control the big scene, and they knew the fierceness of this real gunfight. They wanted to see what the gunfight on the screen would be like earlier?

"The previous multi-line narrative structure is a bit procrastinated."

Waiting for the final climax scene to come, Jane Lauder said to Ivanka, “But using the robber’s past and present experience to show the robber’s cruelty and coldness, she did a good job, and the preceding scenes looked at least It’s not boring. Although the rhythm is a bit slower, it’s much better than the drowsy movies like Pirates of Fire.” (To be continued...)
