Recommendation of high IQ photography works

David Fincha, the director of Seven Deaths, not only broke the tradition of Hollywood movies, but also brought surprises to the audience, making this seemingly thriller film more outstanding and shocking than any similar production such as The Silence of the Lambs.

I like this movie very much. Tell me more. ..

Kensuke

10 passengers were caught in a desert storm and had to live in a shabby motel by the road. Then they found that everyone around them had been killed by the murderer. As the hotel was sealed, it was determined that the murderer was hiding among them. .....

[Ten people were killed one by one ...]

A dark night, endless desert wasteland and a raging storm will stand in a motel, completely isolated from the outside world. Road, impassability; Communication is interrupted.

Ten strangers who didn't know each other before were forced to gather in this crumbling hotel, waiting for deeper and deeper fear: ten people are being murdered one by one in a planned way ... In the face of death, they are trembling with fear, all of them are caught in crazy speculation, and their reason is slowly moving away. Who are these ten people?

1 Hero Ed (john cusack). He used to be a policeman, but now he drives a private car for actresses.

Caroline on the 2 nd is a female star whose fame and influence are declining;

Third, Larry. The motel manager is called "Beth" by many customers. He seems to hide many secrets.

Number four.

Paris, a prostitute from Las Vegas;

On the 5th and 6th, a couple in trouble, Ginny (clea duvall) and Louis;

On the 7th and 8th, detectives Rhodes (Ray Riota) and Robert (Jack Bush), the prisoners he escorted.

On the 9th, 10, 10 and a half, the York family, husband and wife and their children were trapped here because of a minor car accident.

The identity of the "murderer"]

The original name of the film is "Identity", which is intended to imply that the identity of the murderer is unknown. However, its plot is easily reminiscent of a very popular killing game in the market some time ago: in a dimly lit room, a group of people are sitting around the table. Which of them is the latent killer?

One of the biggest selling points of this film is this suspense story. It is this kind of "agatha christie" murder that attracts producers and publishers. Cathy Conrad, the producer of this film, and James Mangold, the director, are married in the industry. Conrad once made the famous horror film Scream, and they started to cooperate with Mangold's second film, Police Empire, to form an all-star team. Other works include The Interrupted Girl starring Winona Laura Holovitz, who was recently troubled by theft, and. Leopold).

Conrad read the script of The Game of Killing first and was immediately attracted by it. But she thinks this story is more suitable for making small-scale independent films. The ideal director is James Mangold, of course, but Mangold has always directed only his own plays. Will he agree? Conrad tried to give the book to Mangold. When he said, "If you dare to let someone else be the director of such a good story, I will be in a hurry with you", Conrad's heart suddenly settled down and things were settled.

Mangold said that this movie reminds him of those classic old movies, such as maltese falcon and Hitchcock's Lifeboat, which are a mixture of past, present, reality and nightmare. Another attraction for him is that he can throw many characters into a narrow bottle and see how they interact.

Another striking feature of this film is its cast, including john cusack, Ray Riota, amanda peet, clea duvall and Alfred Maureen, all of whom are famous names. At the same time, because the main story takes place in a closed motel, the actor's performance is very important. John cusack, who plays the key role of Ed, should be familiar to everyone. He was born in an artist's family. His father Richard Kusak and his sister joan cusack are both famous actors. Kusak has collaborated with Woody Allen on Bullets Fly to Broadway, with Eastwood on Midnight Garden of Good and Evil, and with Spike Jonze on Strange Puppet Life. It seems that there is always something unique to attract you in movies with Kusak.

Talking about The Game of Killing, Kusak said that besides being able to cooperate with nine other actors with different characteristics, the play is very interesting, and the style of the film which is contrary to his previous performance experience also makes him feel very fresh. "Most movies are driven by characters, but in The Game of Killing, the plot is enough to catch people. I think characters are like chess pieces on a chessboard. This experience is too rare.

John hawkes plays Larry, the most mysterious motel manager among ten people. He is a prolific role actor who is good at supporting roles. He is the kind of person you may have seen in countless movies, but still can't name him. Such people are naturally suitable for killers, spies and other occupations ... Oh, no, have I revealed too much?

A haunted little room

Most movies have more than 50 scenes, but this movie has only one, a hotel in the desert. So set designer Mark tried to arrange this unique scene into multiple levels. The interior was chosen outside the 27th meeting of Sony, which is also the second largest attraction of the company.

Based on the location of a real desert hotel in eastern Palm Valley, California. It took the set designer eight weeks to build the set, because the film needs to create a storm effect, so the floor of this set must be waterproof and well drained. Below this hotel is a waterproof floor made of huge rubber. The hotel swimming pool building adopts pressure gunite materials.

It is the machine spray gun that makes the rainstorm, and the water inside is heated to the appropriate temperature in advance to protect the actors. But during the whole shooting process, it rained heavily for 40 days and 40 nights, and only one actor was wearing a raincoat.

[highly anticipated movie]

It seems that there are not many popular scenes these days, and suspense films all have plots and actors. The investment will not be too big, but the effect will be good. Film critics and audiences are full of curiosity. Not long ago, there was Colin Farrell's sniper phone box. Now it's a killing game.

Watching such a movie is like watching a colorful detective novel. It can satisfy your curiosity, satisfy your addiction to being a detective, and save the trouble of turning over books, as long as you shake the baggage well. So the popularity of this film should be predictable.

The Memory of The 3d

Memento, which cost only $5 million to shoot, is undoubtedly the coolest movie in 2000. Without publicity, it built a solid reputation by word of mouth from fans. It uses two parallel story lines, one is flashback, presented in color, and the other is sequence, presented in black and white. The two lines are interspersed every few minutes until the end of the film is seamlessly connected. In a seemingly fragmented form, the film vividly reproduces the protagonist's mental state of losing his short memory. The plot of the film seems to be the protagonist's revenge for his beloved wife, but there are many interpretations, one of which completely subverts the surface plot of the whole film, allowing the audience to argue "who killed the protagonist's wife" from the perspective of different roles.

How can there be fewer fight clubs, hehe

Fight Club has been praised and criticized by critics for its realistic violent description and vague narrative style. But I don't think we can deny its theme value just because its means of expression are rebellious. "The way of human existence" is an eternal proposition. (Note: Fight Club is the second place in my "1999 Top Ten Movies")

Block a telephone booth

Comment on the plot:

Lies, life-and-death struggle

The film is only 80 minutes long, and the tense rhythm is oppressing every nerve of mine. There are countless men in this world, weaving all kinds of lies among customers, bosses, friends, wives and lovers every day. They are at a loss, but they enjoy it. In this way, they live their own lives, play with their own lives, create all kinds of hopes every day, strive to make life more colorful and seek all kinds of excitement, and once they find danger coming, they scramble to defend themselves. For example, Stu, if his acting skills are superb and his fate favors him, maybe some lies will not be exposed until the day he dies. In an ordinary afternoon, our unfortunate hero was pointed at by a man hiding in the corner with a sniper rifle, forcing him to expose his previous lies bit by bit in front of everyone, and to admit to his wife that he had wild thoughts about other women in front of everyone, calling other women every day in this telephone booth, trying to seduce them into bed. In such a specific environment, all the so-called human nature is undoubtedly exposed. . He admitted that he cheated many people in his life, his clients, his boss, his friends and his little brother who worked wholeheartedly for him. Perhaps, it was being stripped naked and his inner generosity that finally made him feel fearless and relaxed. When he realized that his wife and beloved girl were threatened by him, he resolutely dropped the deadly microphone, stretched out his arms and shouted at the hidden threat: kill me, I am the one you should kill! However, there is only one choice. Or a wife or a lover, when the gun moves between the two, the hero's eyes really kill the teenage audience, at least I think so.

Faced with life and dignity, he chose the former. Perhaps this is the weakness of human nature. In this way, the man peeled off his hypocritical coat layer by layer under the gaze of everyone. When all the lies were forced to be exposed to the client, he felt like he was naked. He confessed his previous mistakes to his wife in tears. He picked up the ring that he had to take off every time he called his girlfriend and put it on his hand. He asked everyone not to blame his girlfriend because she was cheated, too. He admits that he is vain, with too many disgraces and more and more shortcomings. Because honesty can change your life at such a moment, yes, at the beginning of the live broadcast of Sky Radio. Our lovely hero shed tears and told his embarrassing stories. There is no dust in his heart. At first, in order to maintain his personal image, he was still half hidden. But before long, his cover was hit by that horrible voice, and he cried. On the phone, he was asked to admit the story with his lover and said loudly, "I want to sleep with her!" " "Yiyi said," I want to fuck her! "Yes, to rescue the police and thousands of onlookers. A person who is so fragile in do or die may have covered up a lie for most of his life, thus being exposed by himself. Gunshots rang out and he fell down. In another place, someone fell, and the police thought it was the murderer. With the threat gone, our hero can welcome the beautiful woman back, and everything should be dealt with. However, in a trance, the ghostly man walked around him with a suitcase and whispered, if you can't insist on the honesty you just learned, I'll call you again. I think this voice will make him restless for life. He tried to know if it was a dream. He wants to know whether the man who forbade him to lie will continue to threaten his life.

Analysis of scene, structure and shooting technique;

The whole drama scene is limited to a roadside telephone booth, and all the plots follow the telephone wrapped around the auditory nerve. The special scene at this special moment is doomed to the progressive relationship in the rhythm of the film. When the audience has to stare, the director's low-cost production can also be successful. Should the original pizza delivery person be the murderer? Or the killer's helper? This suspense has not been solved at last. If Stu hadn't been so hard on him at first, would things have ended like this? Such a problem deserves our consideration. For example, he turned away as soon as he heard the phone, so what's there to be afraid of? The problem is that our lovely hero hasn't left yet, and once he enters the play, he can't quit. From his proud claim that he can arrange work for callers, to compromise, to fear, and finally to despair, everything happened in a telephone booth. Colin? Colin Farrell's excellent body language expresses extremely rich psychological changes. The structure of this film is very clear. From the moment we walked into the telephone booth, this story oppressed our eyes. Whether you are in there or not, he controlled Stu with such a low voice and controlled your attention. Joel. Schumacher's shooting is as silent as telling an ordinary story, and the conflict in the plot is easy to shine in the narrative.

A brief review of movies

It seems that the British, who have always regarded themselves as gentlemen, can't keep the "Evening Festival" on the long and thorny movie road. The birth of early feature films such as Trainspotting, Two Heavy Smokers and Nine Songs Not Far away made the words "gentleman" and "conservative" farther and farther away from the seemingly sedate British. Now, the British "Dark Attack" horror story makes people re-examine the film road of the island country of Britain. Who wouldn't tell a ghost story for a change anyway? The movie "Dark Attack" truly simulates the psychological changes of normal people in a dangerous environment. To put it bluntly, it is not difficult for people to find that when their survival is seriously threatened, their friendship is hit hard and their reason becomes fragile, while the dark side of human nature such as violence and cruelty is popular. The horror element designed in the film is just a technical trap, and to truly appreciate the taste of terror, we have to rely on the dark side of human nature to slowly lead everyone into the trap. Therefore, with this implicit foreshadowing, the fear element in the film begins to react violently after being catalyzed in advance, and its final effect exceeds pure terror. At this point, the British seem to have learned a lot from the Japanese. But the ugly portrayal of human nature in the film is even more unbearable for the audience, and the fear and anxiety caused by it is even more shocking than a set of scary theories concocted by Americans and Japanese. ...

Sickirk, a psychopath

The suspense master classic has been rated as the scariest movie of the 20th century for many times. The killing scene in the bathroom was later imitated by countless movies. In just 30 seconds, the director cut into 35 shots, creating a realistic and ferocious effect with fast editing and fine lens positioning. Known as a classic lens in the history of photography. At that time, when movies were shown to the bathroom to kill people, the audience either screamed loudly or ran out of the theater directly, and some people were directly scared to death. No exaggeration, because it was in the 1960s. Of course, there must be a lot of people sneering at it now. However, the old film belongs to the old film, and the skill of this film is superb enough to rival the current film. It will still look good if I watch it now, because the tension and plot design are good.

Shapin Kubrick 1980

Many people will say after watching Rudolf scharping, "It's not scary at all." I also think after reading it. Yes, there is nothing particularly scary in it. Sharping is a piece of cake for us who have watched too many modern horror movies. But why do I feel good? Not only me, but also most people in the world. Known as the originator of modern horror movies, it also occupies the first place in the list.

Its terror lies in the atmosphere. It shows us how a modest gentleman is slowly tortured by ghosts, and finally madly picks up an axe to cut his wife and son. This has almost become a model of future movies.

The film won not by visual terror, but by superb use of psychological terror. In terms of creating an atmosphere, it can really be said that it is a big expense. In the two-hour movie, the atmosphere in the early stage accounts for a large proportion: long hotel corridors, huge forest mazes, gorgeous and beautiful pictures but strange, giving people heavy psychological pressure; The sound effect is also a stroke of genius (Kuyt's film music has always impressed me). It is really a classic horror film soundtrack, and the gloomy voice seems to evoke the most horrible memories in people's hearts.

Silent Lamb jonathan demme 199 1 year

This is the most artistic horror film in my opinion. Just like its name, it is elegant and scary. The artistry here refers to the art of crime and the art of killing. Of course, this idea is a bit reactionary. How can killing be art? It's so anti-human ~! Of course, I'm just targeting the high IQ perverts in it.

In addition to the suffocating atmosphere, the film also expounds a unique and profound social proposition. Paradoxically and ironically, the police had to turn to another killer in order to catch one killer. The title is even more thought-provoking. The Bible says that all beings are lambs and God is a shepherd. The film borrows this allusion to tell the audience that the lamb is not just clarice, but everyone who lives in the real society. Behind the silence, terror and crisis lurk in our hearts all the time. The film profoundly reflects the chronic disease of American society: in the United States, where the crime rate remains high, kind and innocent people are powerless to resist and have nowhere to turn for help, full of fear. Especially the female victims, who are gentle, kind and fragile, have been like silent lambs for a long time, being swallowed up by the helpless slaughter of sin. By grasping the shadows hanging over people's daily lives, Demi succeeded in making a thrilling crime thriller with concrete and vivid exaggeration.

Blair witch project

A film with a unique style, to be exact, should be a documentary. It is the strong realism that makes this film popular. Horror movies want truth, and the more real they are, the more scary they are.

The Blair Witch Project leads us into its horror atmosphere step by step, without relying on abrupt vision and hearing to stimulate our senses. The psychological changes of the three students have become a portrayal of this model. At first, the three teenagers were excited to take pictures of the witch's footprints, but when they got lost or even lost their maps, their psychology changed. Their depressed mood is accompanied by a burst of swearing, and the fans are also anxious. Later, they lost a companion, and the next day, after seeing his bloody internal organs, they began to get hysterical. My hoarse throat and voice broke my nerves. On the last night in the cabin, they collapsed and the audience collapsed.
