"Art comes from skilled ......"
Watching James Franco on the screen like a sculptor, carving bloody swastikas on the head of the Austrian actor, Robert Downey Jr. couldn't help but shake his head, James Franco's performance in the film can only be said to be at a normal level, far less brilliant than Nick Dern in "Gone Girl". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The two most brilliant characters in this film are instead the Nazi officer played by the Austrian actor, and Sozanna, played by David Robbie's sister.
The former is obviously an old actor, with Murphy's training and guidance, it seems normal to play well, but what is the name of David Robbie's sister? Oh, Margot Robbie.
The biggest impression that this girl gave him before was a vase, and he didn't have much acting skills to speak of, but he didn't expect that in Murphy's hands, the vase could also make the character glow with touching charm.
Robert Downey Jr. clasps his hands to his chest and holds his chin up, clearly thinking with the last bit of time before the film ends.
In the whole film, Margot Robbie's role can be so brilliant, perhaps because she has played the three fools in Murphy's mouth for several years, and her acting skills have improved somewhat, but more often than not, the director uses special scenes to portray the character, which almost completely covers up her own flaws in acting skills and temperament.
Looking back at all the episodes I've just seen, the most poignant portrayal of the theater proprietor Soshana is a few minutes in the screening room alone with Sergeant York, a German combat hero who shot more than 300 Allied soldiers and was so revered in Germany that Hitler even attended the premiere of the film he starred in.
Everyone is proud of him, but he feels uneasy when he looks at himself who keeps killing people on the screen, so he goes to the screening room alone to find his favorite Soshana, but she shoots him in the back.
When Soshana looked at York lying on the ground, the music was no longer as light and humorous as before the film, but turned into a poignant and sad melody.
However, just as she leaned over to touch him, York suddenly turned around and shot her continuously.
She shot him three times, and he had to make up for a fourth shot with all his might before he died.
Robert Downey Jr. originally thought that Murphy was going to portray the German sergeant as a murderer who had not yet turned into a conscience-destroying murderer in order to have a reflective effect, but it was only then that he realized that Murphy was a director full of black ideas after all, and the audience's sympathy for the German sergeant was just a misunderstanding.
After all, this Nazi sniper is proud of the social status and honor that he has brought to his massacre, he still respects himself more than others, he is still just a mundane ordinary man, a Nazi who kills like crazy, and has not received the true meaning of love.
And the Asian assistant in Sosana's theater obeys everything from Sosanna, and is even willing to give his own life.
People who seem humble may have a nobler soul.
In addition to this, Robert Downey Jr. can also see a lot of Murphy's bad tastes, such as fate is always elusive and sometimes even a little ironic. Sosana, who had fled from the guns of the Nazis and finally had a chance to die with all the German military leaders when she grew up, died at the hands of Germany's most famous sniper and the man who pursued her. At this time, the murderer of her family had reached an agreement with the U.S. military to surrender and become a double agent.
The character of Colonel Hans Landa, who bears the title of "Jewish Hunter", is clearly more brilliant than the role of Aldo, the bastard, played by James Franco.
Even Robert Downey Jr. has to admire, this Austrian actor named Christoph Waltz, with a lot of dialogue and facial expressions, shows people his acting talent, portrays a cunning and insidious, ruthless and calculating character very well, I believe that after everyone has seen the movie, compared to Aldo's bravery and decisiveness, the deep hatred of the "Jewish hunter" will leave a deeper impression in their hearts.
But in any case, "Inglourious Basterds" is different from Murphy's previous films in the typical Murphy-style black style of killing, violence and gore, the most typical is the integration of a lot of black humor rooted in the background of World War II, these humors are taken out alone, as boring as Murphy's jokes, but in the plot and background of the whole film, people can't help but want to revel in Murphy's rhythm.
At the same time, in the two rows in front of Robert Downey Jr., Margot Robbie, who is wearing a white shapewear suit, has bright eyes, this is the first time she has seen the finished film, although it is only once, and she doesn't know what other people think, but she knows that her role is brilliant, and the film in which the character is located is even more brilliant!
Coming to Los Angeles, and spending a lot of time with Gal Gadot, Margot Robbie can see her own shortcomings, and beyond the wild and beautiful and sexy appearance of the Australian savannah buried deep in her heart, she is simply an empty shell without a core, the kind of character that Hollywood usually calls a vase.
With Gal Gadot's equally beautiful friend as a contrast, Margot Robbie certainly doesn't want to just be a vase, she's been enriching herself to be as good on the inside as she is on the outside, so that she can achieve that unspeakable goal......
Therefore, in the past few years, she has never let go of learning and honing, the film "Inglourious Basterds" is the best test of acting skills, as early as the dubbing stage, she has been praised by Murphy, the director and James Franco and others, almost everyone thinks that her acting skills are a big improvement compared to when she played the three fools.
In addition to acting, Margot Robbie is also reading, all kinds of movie-related books, recently reading books like movies and philosophy, and was surrounded by those philosophies, and when I just watched this film, I unconsciously substituted it into it.
Perhaps too influenced by the books she had read recently, Margot Robbie believes that her biggest discovery is that Murphy has given the film a unique philosophical reflection in addition to the eye-catching black elements.
"Even if you have doubts about the meaning, purpose, direction and other major philosophical questions of life, even if you admit that life is boring, boring, trivial and vulgar, you still willingly live according to the rules." Margot Robbie muttered to herself, "After all, metaphysical philosophy is one thing, and life is another. ”
Therefore, when she watched "Inglourious Basterds", she couldn't help but want to clap her hands several times! In such a decent, lackluster world, the audience is like a dog, trembling, and cautious and humble life.
At this time, when a big bastard brother with a clever mind and quick skills and contempt for the world appears in front of you with a contempt for God, what can you do but be amazed and admired? You're going to be captivated.
"When it comes to shamelessness, it's also a realm." Margot Robbie whispered again.
Of course, she is not talking about the shamelessness that the basic limits of human nature have been abandoned, this is definitely not right, the shamelessness she said is a compliment, a big compliment, which is also a great wisdom and foolishness after the insight of the world, a life attitude.
She also wants to say that sometimes shamelessness also requires courage, after all, you are not fighting with one person, you are fighting with a group, an idea, a tradition.
is like the debate competition she participated in when she was studying, when her thinking and logic were led away, she was destined to be in a passive position.
Listening to the Nazi colonel's howl, Margot Robbie felt that she understood a truth: if you are attacked by the devil and you use the devil's rules to fight back, then you can only lose by all.
So, daydreaming of a Shameless Bastard in a movie is also a great pleasure, isn't it?
Quentin Tarantino came in after the film started to be shown because of his health, and after watching the first ten minutes, he almost couldn't help but drool on Murphy's face, where is this the bastard movie he conceived, it has simply become Spielberg's old bastard movie that has been the same for decades!
But the surrounding audience was attentive and watched with relish, as if these black killing plots, which only exist to attract people's attention, have an incomparably magnetic effect, sticking to their eyeballs and making them unable to divert their attention.
Seeing this, Quentin could only sigh, it is not unreasonable for Murphy Stanton to surpass him as a representative figure of Hollywood film noir, he gives the film enough black on the outside and inside, and knows how to impress more audiences.
A director doesn't close the door to self-appreciation, after all, he still wants more audiences to see it.
"In that sense......" Quentin shook his head, "I'm not as good as Murphy Stanton." ”
As the film progressed, he was glad that he didn't run over to spit out Murphy and then leave the show, because in addition to catching the audience's attention, this film is no less than what he originally conceived, even if Murphy Stanton did not use the chapter back style, eliminated the nagging scenes that he deliberately emphasized in the script outline, and made it almost without any Quentin-esque style, he was still impressed.
Quentin Tarantino himself is a "jerk", a lovable "movie jerk", if someone says that he is a master among film directors, and even he doesn't recognize it very much, the title of master is not suitable for him, not that he is unworthy, but that this title does not accurately describe him, to be exact, he is a one-of-a-kind movie monster!
His films were never elegant, even the classics "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs".
He played movies, and he has always faithfully poured his whimsical ideas and maverick behavior, including some bad tastes that some people ostracize.
But when the subtitles fell, Quentin found that Murphy Stanton's "Inglourious Basterds" was dark, tyrannical, bloody, cruel, grotesque, dark and multi-clue plot skillfully contained in it.
Even if it is filmed by himself, it can never be better than this one. (To be continued.) )
