How to write a film review? I was very touched after reading it, but I didn't know how to write it.
I) ideological comments:
1. Comment on the topic. Strive for original insights and dig deeper. Most articles in Autumn Harvest Uprising think that this film reflects the history of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, successfully portrays the image of Mao Zedong, combines Marxism-Leninism with China's revolutionary practice, takes the road of encircling the cities from the countryside, and finds the direction for China's revolution. According to Lenin's exposition on leaders and the central government's definition of Mao Zedong Thought, I realize that the film reflects the growth process of Mao Zedong as an outstanding revolutionary leader in the struggle, and also reveals the historical reasons and process of Mao Zedong Thought's formation and development, and comments from this new angle (see "Silver Pearl").
2. Comment on practical significance. It is also related to the theme, but it pays more attention to the practical role. The evaluation of realistic movies such as Kong Fansen and I Tell You focuses on party member cadres' honesty and love for the people, while the evaluation of capital people such as Days of Leaving Lei Feng focuses on the positive significance of learning from Lei Feng in the new period. Reviewing historical films should also take reality into account.
3. Write a review. We should integrate ourselves with reality, or praise the advanced, criticize the backward and criticize the current disadvantages; Or self-observation, find the gap, encourage and spur. Most of the film criticism articles of primary and middle school students belong to this category. One thing to note is that it can't be written as "story introduction+self-comparison", and the other is to stick to the film, instead of taking a topic out of the film and leaving a comment on the film. For example, "Smoke Crossing the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895" does not talk about "being beaten backward" in general, but about the political, economic, military and other aspects of the film, connecting with historical facts and combining with world-famous naval battles, and appealing to the current social unhealthy atmosphere. Comments on the Nanjing Massacre, the key point of thinking about the city is the word "city", which is tightly buckled, released and closed from "massacre city", "paper city", "unprotected city", "Great Wall of Steel" and "national defense city".
(2) People's comments.
This is a common comment style, which is divided into single comment, similar comment and comparative comment by different people. The comments on "Carrying Dad to School" by four characters in Silver Pearl have their own characteristics. Detailed description and magnificent image have launched a comparative review of Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek. Snow Lotus Rising in the Fire captures the personality characteristics of the image of Danzhu in red river valley and makes a profound analysis from the outside to the inside. In the writing of people's comments, it is best to try not only to evaluate the meaning of people's images, but also to grasp the unique personality of people, such as their unique behaviors, actions, ideals, interests and talents, so as to dig deeper into the meaning of people's images. For example, the artillery professional's comments on A Lonely Fire changed the enthusiastic praise of heroes in the past, and more integrated the feelings and thoughts of intellectuals' fate in the new era.
(3) Aesthetic comments (style, style, aesthetic characteristics, etc. )
1. artistic style review. For example, "Where did it come from?" Comment on the movie "Party A and Party B" in combination with comedy style; The documentary tide on the surging screen analyzes the reasons for the success of excellent documentaries from their aesthetic characteristics; A visual symphony that shakes the soul-comment on the symphonic poem structure of the film.
2. Artistic style review. For example, the poetic battlefield freehand brushwork, through the analysis of the different poetic connotations of several main battle scenes in the movie "The Great Turn", gives people a thrilling audio-visual experience by splashing ink on the film. For The Red Lover, which caused great controversy, the image beauty in poetry and movies was affirmed from the perspective of film style and innovation.
3. Comment on aesthetic characteristics. Calling for Family and Interpersonal Relations starts with the aesthetic characteristics of contemporary tragedy, pointing out that contemporary tragedy pays attention to exploring the complexity of human spiritual life and arouses people to cherish valuable things in life such as family and interpersonal relations. Comment on the analysis of the article "Why is" cute "combined with children's aesthetic psychology".
(4) Comments on the characteristics of movies.
This kind of critical writing has a strong professionalism, such as comments on the language, structure, rhetoric, suspense, sound, color, music, photography, special effects, performance and director of the film. Try the following example:
1. Film Language Review. < Red Sorghum > The Starting Point and the Road to Success for China's Movies to Go Global.
2. Review of film structure. Compound blending, skillfully weaving the structural art of Jingwei jujube ".
3. Film rhetoric criticism. Film rhetoric includes many techniques, such as contrast, exaggeration, symbolism and personification. Such as appreciating symbolism in novels.
4. Review of movie rhythm. On the Rhythm Art of the Film Zhou Enlai
5. Suspense reviews of movies. "Suspense after suspense, gripping people" —— On the suspense skills of the American film Mission Impossible
6. Movie audio review. The voice in "Raise the Red Lantern"
7. Film color review. Why does Zhang Yimou prefer red? Strengthen the formal meaning.
8. Review of film details. The intriguing Yin Na Zhang Mi and A Shining Necklace.
9. Film performance review. The charm of eyes
10. Movie Music Review.
The angle of the above comments is not absolute, but mutual penetration and compatibility. The angle of criticism can be complicated, such as commenting on people. In addition to the above-mentioned comparative analysis of judging a person, a class of people, or opposing characters, we can also make a comprehensive analysis of similar characters in several films or a certain type of films, or comment on a certain creative tendency. For example, the sense of hardship and heroism, analyze the universal theme of American movies; Topics such as "Analysis of the screen image of soldiers in the new era", "Why can't young actresses last forever", "Why should everyone jump into the bathtub" and "Why are ugly stars popular" are all selected based on a certain film creation tendency.
The style of film criticism can be varied, mainly essays, letters, dialogues, questions and answers, essays and other forms. In recent years, there are also prose styles, mainly expressing emotions, which are light and lively and beautifully written, but generally lack rigorous argumentation, less logical power and thinner theoretical color. Various styles should be allowed in the garden of film criticism.
Fourth, film review writing requirements
(A) and "film" and "review" are closely linked.
The content of the review must be provided by the film, not from the instructions and newspaper stories.
In order to grasp the characteristics of film art, the object of comment is the sense of picture and movement. Let people who haven't seen the movie have a general understanding of the movie and agree with your point of view.
It is necessary to make comments, be clear about the center, be strict in reasoning and argumentation, and avoid "stories plus feelings" or opinions that ignore evidence.
(2) Grasp the overall situation and break through the details.
First of all, we should have a correct overall evaluation of a film, and on this basis, we should choose a smaller perspective for in-depth excavation, so as to achieve a strategic and meticulous evaluation. Avoid covering everything, and others will follow suit.
On the other hand, avoid turning a blind eye and not seeing the forest. Try to write penetrating monographs, don't generalize, and don't write essays. Nowadays, all kinds of newspapers and periodicals, including professional film newspapers and periodicals, are engaged in "hype" in order to seize time. Most of them published comprehensive comments compiled by reporters according to the materials distributed by directors, and fell into the formula of "storyline+theme+artistic features+actor introduction+shooting tidbits".
(3) the unity of ideology and artistry.
Comments that pay attention to social significance should pay attention to the artistry of the film and use the screen image provided by the film to explain and demonstrate. A student wrote a film review about the burning of Yuanmingyuan, only expressing his feelings about this historical event. The full text has nothing to do with the film. Strictly speaking, such an article is not a film review.
Pay attention to the comments of artistic value, and grasp the ideological connotation embodied in artistic expression.
Pay attention to the artistry of commenting on the article itself.
(4) Pay attention to thinking and literary talent.
Try to have your own unique opinions, try to be novel and profound, instead of "deep one-sided, big prejudice and creative misunderstanding", and say some "correct views" that everyone knows. Conception is like a strategist's strategy, "seeing the sun and the moon is not for the eye, hearing the thunder is not for the sound", "surprise, attack it unprepared", and win by surprise.
Pay attention to the vivid image of the language, pay attention to the appropriate length of the sentence pattern, and be harmonious in phonology. It should be both theoretical and clear, so that theoretical articles can give people linguistic beauty and emotional strength.
PS:
Many people think that watching movies is watching movies. What's your comment on this? By what? But in fact, while you are writing a film review, you are also letting yourself go back. What did you see in this hour and a half? What did you get? No matter how bad the film is, there are hard-working staff. What are they looking at? No one wants to make a bad movie that everyone talks about, so what are the merits of the bad movie that everyone is talking about? Do producers, directors and actors have different shooting ideas?
These, when you start writing film reviews with your heart, your thinking will become clearer and clearer, and the scope of thinking will become wider and wider.
Not only can you have more experience than others, but you can also bring your own experience to everyone.
In one film review after another, you will find that your writing style has improved. When watching a movie, you can see more subtle details and touch your heart. So, you succeeded.
Of course, no one can do it overnight (unless you are a literary creator). Looking back at the original article, I also feel that the writing is crude and the vision is not deep enough. But in one article after another, I naturally found myself talking at length. Of course, it's not good enough.
The best sentence is-
"Profound one-sidedness, great prejudice and creative misunderstanding"
You don't have to write film reviews in a proper way. Both sides of the argument are original.
Simplify the complex, simplify the complex, and the words are wonderful.
