Compared to the Disney executives who were both expecting and worried in the office, the audience in the cinema who watched the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Coffin" was much happier.

The change in the sound of gasping for a moment and laughing in the screening room reflects the level of engagement of everyone.

Just like Richard Manson, as a film critic, he originally came to experience the performance level of the actors, but he saw half of it, and he was completely lost in the world of movies.

- You know, he attended an internal preview of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" before.

It's just that he heard that director Charlotte made significant adjustments to the editing, soundtrack and special effects after the internal preview screening, and even reshot some shots, so in a responsible attitude, he was ready to watch it again.

- As a result, looking at it, he forgot what he had done as a film critic.

Of course, it can't be said that it is all forgotten -

"The public version has changed a lot compared to the internal test version, not to mention the special effects music or anything - ah, it's the Karkent (North Sea Monster——), hey, where did I summarize it just now?—— the flying Dutchman dived, this section is really handsome......"

- Just like this.

So, sometimes, hobbies and jobs are the same thing, and it's not a good thing.

That means you can't enjoy your interests to the fullest......

In contrast, fans like Emily are more pure.

This time, she still came with Gianna.

But from the very beginning of the movie, she didn't have time to communicate with Gianna -

First, the appearance of Lord Beckett forcibly terminated the wedding of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan, who had been so easy to get together in the previous film.

Will Turner was then asked to find Captain Jack and retrieve the magical compass from his hand, or he and Elizabeth would be hanged.

Then, as soon as the picture turned, Captain Jack, played by Johnny Depp, appeared......

"It's so fast-paced!"

Emily sighed.

As a veteran movie fan, she feels that the pace of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is much faster than the first part, and there is almost a feeling that what is happening on the big screen is rushing to her face.

In particular, because Will Turner, Captain Jack and Elizabeth are separated from each other in the story, the movie adopts a multi-line narrative.

- Supposedly, it is a fast-paced and multi-line narrative, which should make viewers feel very chaotic and difficult to understand.

Emily, however, doesn't feel that way at all.

Although because of the fast pace, she did have some details that she didn't see too clearly.

However, the main direction of the story has always been clear in her mind.

In this case, the fast pace that would have been overwhelming turned out to be an attraction that drew her further into the world of cinema.

Moreover, Emily doesn't know what's going on, and always feels that in this "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", there is a feeling of "when the devil is mentioned, the devil will appear"-

In the movie, there is often a switch between several story lines, often with one person in the front mentioning the name of the person in the other line, and then the camera switches to the past.

And after the switch, the person being mentioned tends to exist in a very interesting state.

This tends to make for a good laugh.

- Emily has been amused several times because of this switch anyway.

Among them, the already hilarious sissy captain Jack Sparrow is the most frequent, while Will Turner, the smiler, and the eccentric Elizabeth are not far behind.

This trick is actually a common means of switching clips in Hollywood movies.

This time, however, Charlotte took this tactic to its limits......

As Charlotte said when he was researching the editing scheme of Pirates of the Caribbean 2, the multi-line narrative was not the real reason for the failure of Pirates of the Caribbean 2 in his original time and space.

- The confusion and procrastination caused by the multi-line narrative, so that the climax section lasts too short and not burning enough, is the crux of the problem.

In this regard, on the one hand, Charlotte strengthened the narrative over and over again through editing and reshooting;

On the one hand, it speeds up the progress of the film in non-climactic passages by using less time-consuming methods such as lens language, so as to leave more time for the special effects shots of climactic passages.

After all, martial arts in the world are only fast and unbreakable!

What's more, Charlotte from the future knows very well that after entering the 21st century, the pace of movies is getting faster and faster.

In this case, it is also an inevitable trend for him to accelerate the pace of the movie......

Of course, not all moviegoers were sunk by Charlotte's fast-paced blitzkrieg and multi-line storytelling.

Professional film critics like Kenneth Turan, who managed to attend every internal preview of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" before, were able to barely maintain their professional qualities.

"Charlotte Booth finally untied the knot in this movie!"

- I try to attend every internal preview of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", of course, because Kenneth Turan has now become a fan of Charlotte's directorial level, and Charlotte's every film wants to be studied.

But on the other hand, it was also because of his professional sensitivity as a film critic that he instinctively discovered some problems with the internal preview version of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

When watching the first internal test screening, although he thought the movie was great, he still felt a little vaguely awkward.

This made him a little curious.

And after participating in several internal test screenings, he finally summed up the problem -

"In several internal preview versions, there are some subtle problems with the narrative and pacing of the film, even for film critics, it is generally difficult to see, but if it is released like that, the audience experience will definitely be affected - Charlotte Booth must have discovered this problem, so he revised it over and over again - but I didn't expect him to actually solve it, or solve it to this extent!"

Kenneth felt that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was actually a difficult movie to make well.

The expanded worldview on the basis of the first part, as well as the complex story, but the multi-line narrative is unavoidable;

And because it has to take over the story of the third part, the resolution of this movie cannot be regarded as the real ending.

- In this case, finding the path to success is like finding the only cyan thread from the countless intertwined blue threads, which is 99.99% impossible.

But Charlotte Booth did it-

"He's pushed his storytelling and pacing abilities to the limit!"

Kenneth Turan sighed,

"Especially in terms of lens language and editing, it has reached the level of supergod - without the help of these, the switching between the multiple narrative lines of this film will not be so smooth and natural - this "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Coffin" will become a classic of multi-line narrative commercial films!"
