Chapter 66: New Editor-in-Chief, New Columns
The dancing and pleasing shooting action, the ironic literary level of the good and evil fighting, the rigorous action scene design like a military textbook, the atmosphere rendering of the wave-like cascading advancement, the full sense of reality, and even the explosion scene that makes people feel too fast...... I have to say that this is a top-notch audio-visual feast. This is Caesar's debut novel------ Los Angeles Times
"I have to admit that after watching a movie, I was left with great admiration.
When I got home, I even had symptoms such as dizziness, headache, nausea, etc., and my wife told me that I might have had an overdose of adrenaline.
If you ask me if I want to watch it again, I just want to say, why not?
The whole movie gives people the feeling of newness, strangeness, and beauty.
This Caesar's debut film, it can be said that every shot is very elegant, especially the application of light sources, it is simply amazing!
How long has it been since I've seen such a beautiful and distinctive lighting setup? With the exception of Coppola's The Godfather trilogy and Kubrick's Space Odyssey 2001.
In the unique black-and-white picture of "Moonlight Dancer", the only color of the orange muzzle flame supports the color expression of the whole picture.
In the darkness, Marx, who took a short break, lit a cigarette on his mouth with the enemy's zipo lighter, and the close-up of his face in such a dark environment became flickering because of Marx's quiet smoking moment.
At this time, we have just learned the identity of the Marx Hunter Academy with full scores, and this smoking scene in the dark instantly makes Marx's whole person more mysterious and attractive.
We became particularly curious to know what exactly is the training content of the Hunter Academy? What did Marx experience in Vietnam......
There are a lot of similar uses of light throughout the film, and I was surprised to find that Caesar turned out to be a storyteller who can use light to tell stories.
The shadow on Hans's face is supposed to be specially treated, and how I see and feel that it is an abstract skull-shaped dark shadow that Caesar has sketched on his face with a shadow based on Hans's face shape.
When I tried to take a closer look, the image of the skeleton seemed to be just an illusion on my part.
When the two of them stood at the bottom of the building to discuss cutting off the power supply, the broken neon sign in the distance formed a circle of light on each of their heads because of the borrowing of the lens.
I don't think it's a coincidence, especially after so many special-light lenses in front of me.
There are also plenty of slow-motion and unique close-ups in the action scenes that seem puzzling at first glance.
Even though I've watched action movies for so many years, I still can't understand why Caesar used slow motion and close-ups on those movements.
For example, firing a gun, changing magazines, shell cases being thrown out of gas, hanging up with an empty compartment, and resetting the sleeve......
Shouldn't I remember the slow motion I saw before supposed to be used on the villain or environmental object that was hit?
Why did Caesar put slow motion on these details that everyone overlooked, but instead gave me a hearty and pleasing feeling?
In addition, I don't know how sophisticated Caesar's approach to this film is, the protagonist Marx's every position in the shooting or chase, and every time he leaves cover to shoot back, is so reasonable, which is completely in line with the identity of Marx Hunter Academy and Vietnam War veteran.
Even Marx's two 1911 guns were fired exactly 14 times each time they changed their magazines, a number that ensured that Marx's two guns always had two bullets in them just in case...... Unbelieving viewers can count when watching the movie.
You ask me why I know, because when I was watching the movie, one of the reporters next to me happened to be a veteran of the Vietnam War. Of course, he was not as powerful as the protagonist Marx, because he was in charge of the ammunition and firearms management department of the logistics department at that time.
The impact of his military career made this colleague's focus on watching this kind of action movie a little different from that of ordinary people......
He counted a few rounds from the moment Marx fired the first shot.
Each time it was fourteen rounds before it was loaded, and I swear by God, because I counted each subsequent one by the reminder of my peers......
It stands to reason that I, as a journalist, would write such a nonsense article and a nagging comment that is really substandard.
But I had to write it to vent my excitement after reading Caesar's debut novel, and even if I felt like it now, I was afraid I wouldn't have been able to sleep that night.
And, of course, there's the soundtrack, and the reason I have to mention that I don't believe that all the soundtracks in the film are the work of a graduate who has just stepped out of college. This is amazing!
Forgive my recklessness, I have to ask Caesar, it's not your own soundtrack it's definitely the soundtrack that the musician did with your help.
Am I right? It must be like this!
The soundtrack is so perfect, it fits the style of the movie perfectly, and the melody rhythm matches the picture so smoothly. It is neither abrupt nor completely lost.
Finally, I have to express my envy and jealousy to Caesar, don't you say? I remember this was the usage that Caesar used to.
Miss Bea's beauty had caused me to suffer from a serious illness, and after I recovered, I thought I would never see another beauty of Miss Bea's level in my lifetime, but the appearance of Miss Emily, the musician, made my heart change again from the intense stimulation in a less pleasant way.
I wanted to say again that I was in love, and then I saw two of the most beautiful ladies in the world, arm in arm, around Caesar......
Suffice it to say that God was so fond of the two ladies, but pampered Caesar! ”
This commentary, which was rushed out overnight by the new editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times, Jares Madison, adheres to the consistent style of the Los Angeles Times, that is, unconditionally supporting Caesar, and supporting him without shame or shame.
Even the photo on the front page is split in two, with a movie poster on the left and a photo of Caesar interacting with fans on the red carpet with two women holding her arms.
And there's a column dedicated to tracking Bea and Emily.
From the height of the two women to the length of their legs, from their hair to their skin, they were carefully observed and reported.
The heroine of the column, especially why the two girls didn't paint any makeup, had a deep entanglement.
It is said that so far, Bea has only barely endorsed one "Annico Guttal perfume" in cosmetics, and it is said that each one is carefully carved by the designer because of the inspiration brought by real people and real events, coupled with the eternal packaging, symbolizing the original intention that the designer has always adhered to------ not being moved by any popular elements, and being himself freely.
Based on Bea's image and personality, the designer designed a fragrance collection with a bright golden liquid, the "Advent of the Angel Series".
This "Arrival" always evokes Caesar's imagery of blue sky, grass and breeze, and makes him fully feel the strength of the designer.
The Los Angeles Times' new "Caesar and His Angels" section is written by a fashion woman, Cecily Cross.
Cecily had seen Bea and Emily up close when the Los Angeles Times editor-in-chief interviewed Caesar.
She has a rational and fanatical understanding of the beauty of the two women.
Rational because she is in a woman's jealousy of the beautiful same sex and desperately wants to find flaws in the two women.
It's a pity, where does the woman who has been baptized by Caesar's beauty energy have flaws?
Despite all the pickiness, Cecily failed to find any flaws in the two girls. The most terrifying thing is that she found that the two girls didn't wear makeup......
Not to mention foundation, not even lipstick.
Some people say that a woman wearing makeup before going out is a courtesy and respect for others. That's true, but it depends on the woman.
What is makeup for? Cover up your unbeautiful side, so that the person who sees you can be pleasing to the eye, and after getting praise, both parties can have a good mood. That's why makeup equals respect.
But for the baptized Bea and Emily, makeup is tantamount to artificially creating blemishes for themselves, so what kind of politeness and respect can we talk about?
Cecily eventually gave up looking for flaws and began to fanatically want to know why the two girls were so perfect.
That's what happened, the column of the two women without makeup.
Unbeknownst to her, however, this article provided enough ammunition for those who had long wanted to black Caesar.
