Synopsis: Three brothers and sisters lost their parents in a fire and inherited a large legacy from their parents. Because I am still young, I can't use this money until I reach the legal age. As a result, the three brothers and sisters were temporarily taken to the home of distant relative Olaf (Jim Carrey, Jim Carrey) and raised by Olaf.

My elder sister violette (played by emily browning emily browning) is an elf who is good at invention and creation, while my younger brother Klaus is a well-read doctor. The youngest child has sharp teeth. He says something that his sister and brother can understand. This time, the three brothers and sisters fell into Olaf's trap and were targeted by this greedy relative. They were in danger again and again, as if Olaf had to kill them.

So, they fled to their uncle's house as a biologist, but it was full of snakes, which was quite scary. To make matters worse, Olaf is everywhere. The three children continued to flee. When they found that menstruation's house was not the place where they should go, they decided to set up their own house and deal with the evil Olaf to the end.

In this film, Jude Law plays the story teller Raymond Snitch.

If the fire hadn't happened, the three bright and lively Baudelaire children would continue to live a happy life. Who knows, bad luck came that day.

A ruthless fire devoured their parents' lives, leaving only three brothers and sisters with a huge legacy. At that time, the elder sister violette (emily browning) was only 14 years old, the younger brother Klaus (liam aiken) 12 years old, and the poor little sister Sonny (Clara Hoffman) was still a babbling baby. Because the inheritance can't be used until "the eldest child (that is, violette) comes of age", now three orphans are sent to distant relatives Earl Olaf (Jim Carrey) for foster care.

Count Olaf is tall and thin, with sly eyes, a pointed chin and thick gray hair on both sides but bare in the middle. He lives in a house with a tall tower. The house is dirty and broken, and eyes are carved everywhere. As an actor, Olaf often leads the troupe on tour, and he is hardly at home during the day, otherwise he stays in the tower, which is forbidden for children. In this tower, an evil but almost flawless conspiracy is brewing. Olaf tried to kill the poor three brothers and sisters by various despicable means in order to plot a large inheritance they inherited. No one can stop him from carrying out his evil plan. At the same time, the children's menstruation Josephine (Meryl Streep) also covets this legacy. There seems destined to be an infighting between Count Olaf and Aunt Josephine. ...

However, the three children are not completely immature and sacrificial lambs. Violette is brave and clear-headed, and he is an important leader among the three brothers and sisters. Klaus is smart, too, although he can't speak clearly. My little sister Sonny speaks a language that only my sister and brother can understand, and all children have a hobby of biting.

What will happen to three children Can the plot of the bad guys succeed?

◇ Aspect: Children's Book+Jin Kairui

Movies adapted from children's books, when it comes to this topic, many people may think of Harry Potter series first. Indeed, it should be regarded as one of the most successful models. The film is also adapted from the ninth series of children's books, A Series of Unfortunate Events of Lemony Snickert, written by Mr. Daniel Handler under the pseudonym "Raymond Snickert". Although we can't predict whether Daniel will become rich because of this adaptation, the influence of this series of books on readers is beyond doubt. I believe that the adaptation experience of this film will definitely add fuel to the fire of Porter Lyle and make it fire. Of course, according to Hollywood practice, the orphan's "adventure" will definitely not end easily, and there will be a second and third adventure story.

Jim Carrey, with this comedy genius, this movie is worth looking forward to. He played the role of Count Olaf perfectly, and his comedy talent was fully displayed in this film. He creates an excellent black humor atmosphere, but most of Kerry's lines in the film are R-rated (swearing) lines. (But in the post-production process, it must be edited. ) The performances of the three little actors in the film are the most natural. Among the "murderous" relatives, how can three poor and lovely children grow up safely?

Show anecdotes

Interestingly, Paramount originally planned to release the film last year, but for various reasons, it was delayed and missed the golden release date of the Christmas file. No way, then simply postpone the release until this year. There are usually many highlights in the Christmas schedule. In order to avoid conflict, Paramount decided to release the film one week before Christmas, that is, 65438+February 17 to meet the audience. Paramount has its own small plan, and avoiding the sharp edge may make a fortune in the Golden Week at the box office.

◆ Special effects: Sonny's baby is crazy ◆

Tom Pezman, the director of special effects, and his colleagues produced more than 400 special effects shots for this film, most of which involved the baby Sonny. The role is played by a pair of twin sisters in turn. Pezman and his colleagues filmed 80% of the scene, but special effects can only be used under special circumstances. Interestingly, the little sisters sometimes hang up like puppies when they eat dinner at the dinner table, and use her tender little teeth to coincide with the little baby Sonny. But by combining Sonny's special effects with real treasures, it is not as simple as other works.

To make a hulk, you only need to put a 15 foot green man, but most of us are familiar with the baby's appearance, skin, hair, clothes and so on. It's not that easy to tell the truth from the false. Pezman's team decided to adopt motion capture technology, but another problem immediately appeared. Usually, when using motion capture, the special effects group needs to model the human face, then input the facial outline of the computer creator, and use the captured expression data to make the computer person move. It is an impossible task to make a baby still and then make an expression as required.

Therefore, the special effects group adopted a technology of Industrial Light Magic (ILM), and successfully established a computer face model for the baby by using a pressure modeler with soft rubber protrusions after many attempts. Then they let the baby be in a natural state and capture their expressions as much as possible. Fortunately, they went on like never before, from aimless screaming to hey hey laughter, the Hoffman twins were very cooperative. Give them a small blue stick, and they get the action of biting again; Give them their favorite cheese and make their chin move when chewing.

Director Brad Sherberlin naturally praised them, but one of the twins was more realistic than the other, so they filmed 90% of her scenes, but no one could tell which one.

◆ Style: hands are scary and funny ◆

The film borrows Ramon Snitch (sound: Judy Law) to tell the whole story, and the screenwriter Robert Gordon (masterpiece "Black Super Swat Team 2") also makes it particularly entertaining. The black feeling of the film makes it look like a "horror show". Sherberlin's earlier "Moonlight Journey" was a two-pronged story, and the bitter and sweet story conquered many audiences. So, what will he say after this complete horror comedy? Violet, Klaus and Sonny finally ended their nightmare life. They learned to cherish each other, let their affection wrap their bodies and minds, and moved towards a new life through their own efforts. Maybe this is the real theme of the movie.

Jim kelly's exaggerated performance also weakens the dark color of the film, which makes people involuntarily reduce their dislike of the role. Emily Browning (masterpiece "Darkness Coming") and liam aiken (masterpiece "Road to Destruction") convincingly played a pair of brothers and sisters, and the Hoffman twins' performance was even more wonderful. Sonny's funny actions and vague children's words, coupled with subtitles, often make people laugh. Meryl Streep's grasp of Josephine, a super phobia, is also in place, showing the acting skills that a top actor should have.

◆ Comment: Want to compete with Potter ◆

Harry Potter by JK Rowling is the top work in children's literature today, and Raymond Snitch by Daniel Handler is no less than this book, but this series (expected to be published 1 1) obviously belongs to a cult. Harry Potter only occasionally reveals a little dark color, while the Raymond Snitch is undercurrent. It is an out-and-out 2 1 century Grimm fairy tale.

The directors extracted a lot of material from the first three films of this series-bad start, repeated rooms and wide windows, and targeted the main audience of the films at preschool children and above. Brad Schebolin once directed A Mile of Moonlight. Although this film adapted from a family drama involves many dark themes-killing people and destroying children for money, under the cover of imaginative artistic design, beautiful and colorful pictures and funny comedy scenes, this film has successfully won the PG rating of Xian Yi, old and young Xian Yi.

For those who are tired of sweet family movies, Raymond Snitch's tragedy is a good choice. Director Scheberlin even borrowed Raymond's words at the beginning of the film to persuade those who like flirting and sweet movies to leave. Photographer Emmanuel Rubecchi (representative work Cat in a Hat) has a strong preference for black, gray and brown, and the imaginative design of artistic artist Rick Henris (representative work Hulk) makes this film present a different flavor. But in the end, please remember that the goal of this movie is box office.
