Chapter 702 The glory of "This killer is not too cold" Chapter 703 The final winner of the movie due(2/2)

"The light becomes softer, the expressions of the characters become more delicate, and the contrast of light and dark becomes more chaotic. This creates a Beiyang emotion as a whole. This emotion. Melancholy comes with a hint of joy, tragedy comes with a hint of drama, and a hint of light in the darkness, which can make people laugh and shed tears."

"This Killer Not Too Cold" creates a unique killer film emotion, which is like the fragrance of flowers in the garden in the early morning. It is refreshing!"

"In addition to the use of filters, we have to mention the actor's performance. The key to the success of the entire movie fell completely on the shoulders of three people. James, Humphrey Bogart, and the Swedish girl Ingrid Bergman who was only thirteen or fourteen years old."

"I think any Hollywood person knows how James' acting is. This person who has been in Hollywood for a lifetime can control any role without any effort. In this movie, he plays the villain Stan, and can definitely become the most classic image of a gangster villain in the Hollywood movie character gallery! Paranoid, neurotic, sensitive, smart, murderous, and has a high artistic appreciation. He is more like an artist than a killer. This is probably the impression of this character by most viewers. It is so full that people can hear his breathing on the screen!"

"As one of the three pillars of DreamWorks young actors, Humphrey Bogart is not as famous as Cary Grant, nor John Wayne. But this does not mean that his acting level is not as good as these two people. In fact, Humphrey Bogart will become the greatest actor in Hollywood history. In "This Killer Not Too Cold", Humphrey Bogart has integrated himself a bit restrained and closed, Muna's character into the role of Leon. Sometimes, just a look, an expression, and a small action makes the character come alive. With this role, I think Humphrey Bogart can completely win the Harvey Award for Best Actor this year."

"When Mr. Corleon announced his filming, I looked at the list of actors in DreamWorks. When I saw the filming of a Swedish girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old and had never been a movie, I was sweating for my old friend Mr. Corleon."

"And it turns out that no one can match Mr. Corleon's selection of actors. He can always pick the best candidates for this movie, so it's so appropriate, as if the script was written for this actor at the beginning."

"Ingrid Bergman, this girl made me call Xiao Duoduo, who won the Harvey Award for Best Actor last year. They are both children, but they are also so amazing. In the movie, Bergman's performance made people completely forget that the girl in front of me is only thirteen or fourteen years old!"

After analyzing the many successes of "This Killer Not Too Cold", John Ford pointed his pen towards Hitchcock.

"I am also very much looking forward to Mr. Hitchcock's movie. After watching "This Killer Not Too Cold", I immediately watched Mr. Hitchcock's new movie."

"How to evaluate this movie? Overall, this movie is not a very good movie. Especially in the setting of the story. It can be said that Mr. Hitchcock's movie is definitely a rare masterpiece compared to ordinary gangster films and killer films, but compared with DreamWorks "This Killer Not Too Cold", it is probably inferior."

"First of all, in terms of the plot layout of the film, this aspect has always been Mr. Hitchcock's expertise. Every movie of his is very innovative in this, and this time, it is no exception. Psychological films, or psychoanalytical films, are Mr. Hitchcock's best at and are also the great recognition of Hollywood filmmakers. The movie "The Killer" is amazing in terms of the plot layout."

"There is not too many twists and turns in the first half of this movie, and it shows almost all daily life, but in the second half, it suddenly surprised the audience to find that Cary and Galli were not two people at all, but two consciousnesses in the same body. This transformation pushed the whole movie to a climax!"

"It can be said that movies about schizophrenia rarely appear in Hollywood movies. Mr. Hitchcock's creativity, as he said, has opened up a path for similar movies in Hollywood. But we must see that this movie by Hitchcock is largely derived from the German masterpiece "Dr. Carrigarli". It has been recognized as a classic work of world films. Adapting this movie naturally has a very high starting point. In this regard, Mr. Hitchcock takes another big advantage."

"But Mr. Hitchcock seems to have overlooked one problem, that is, any adapted movie or extended work that is shot by a movie will often erect a tall obstacle for itself. This obstacle, for Hitchcock's "The Killer", is "Dr. Carrigarli". It can be said that in art, "The Killer" does not exceed this masterpiece at all."

After pointing out one of Hitchcock's "The Killer", John Wayne began to compare "The Killer" and "The Killer Not Too Cold" to each other.

"In terms of character creation, "This Killer Not Too Cold" is perfectly, everyone has rich and diverse personality traits, and Hitchcock also obviously has this idea in "The Killer". However, the movie shows two consciousnesses of one person. Kari's weakness, thinness, Galli's roughness and strength. These two characteristics may be very good if they appear on one person, but they are classified into two people. The two consciousnesses of one person make each character look a little thin."

"In the performance, James, Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman in "This Killer is Not Cold", their performances are not an exaggeration. Their performance style has reached the extreme of the actors: implicit, unmoving expression, no big moves, and a little look or a small move. However, in "The Killer", we see hysterically shouting, rushing, beating, etc.,

It means that this kind of performance is not good, but that Van Punk and another male lead are a bit too much. They are shouting and while they are seeing the paleness under the performance. In the whole movie, only Juno and Jane plays the affair wife, which is satisfying. Van Punk is a good actor, but this time, he did not perform perfectly. He may be responsible for it himself, but as the director, Mr. Hitchcock, probably has to bear greater responsibilities."

"The person who is most responsible for the success of a movie is the director. In "The Killer", it makes people feel a little urgent and a little turbulent from beginning to end. Think about it, this may be related to the overall rhythm of the entire movie."

"The rhythm of "This Killer Not Too Cold" is soothing, calm, natural, and pure, but the rhythm of "The Killer" has a murmur in its impatience."

"In this movie, you can see some clear view of Mr. Hitchcock's eagerness for quick success and instant benefits. It seems that he has not learned enough from the previous failure."

"Actually, it's reasonable to think about it. After all, this movie is a duel with Mr. Corleon, which divides Hollywood into two and attracts the attention of the audience across the United States. Faced with such a movie, Mr. Hitchcock hopes to win, so his desire in the movie is reflected in almost every shot."

"I think this seems to be a threshold that Mr. Hitchcock can never get over. He values ​​fame and fortune too much. Fame and fortune have become a heavy burden on him. This burden can inspire people to move forward, but it can also pull a person down the abyss."

"If "The Killer" was not placed on the duel stage this time, if Mr. Hitchcock was not a match with Mr. Corleon, his mentality might be much better if he could be calm. But at present, Mr. Hitchcock's film is far from Mr. Corleon's work."

John Ford used a long article to systematically analyze "This Killer Is Not Cold" and "The Killer", and compared the two films.

It can be said that his analysis is very thought-provoking and deeply grasps the lifeblood of these two movies.

After John Ford, many Hollywood people expressed their opinions.

In his article "The New Highlight of the Killer Movie", Cissy Dimil wrote excitedly: "Objectively speaking, Hollywood Killer Movie developed to a new peak in 1929. The two films of Mr. Corleon and Mr. Hitchcock established the milestone of the Killer Movie!"

"Mr. Corleon's movie is like a melodious and low but not uneven Mass, which makes people refreshed and can't help but exclaim sincerely. "This Killer Not Too Cold" establishes a series of new killer aesthetic concepts, which are different from any killer movie in Hollywood in the past. It is charming, diverse, rich in meaning. The whole movie is full and mellow. In contrast, although Mr. Hitchcock's movie is also very good, it seems a bit more craftsmanship, less natural and less unrequited."

"Mr. Hitchcock is one of the top Hollywood directors, but compared to Mr. Corleon, he still seems a little less perfect. It's not that he has no level, but that Mr. Hitchcock obviously has not reached that level. Compared with "The Killer" is not too cold, it is like a young student standing on the street and an old man with white hair and beard. Although it is exciting, it lacks the depth of the latter, and the purity and nature of the latter."

"I think this duel proves one problem, that is, Mr. Corleon's movie, to some extent, reflects another realm. This duel is actually a comparison of realm, and Mr. Hitchcock obviously has not reached the realm of Mr. Corleon's realm of weightlifting!"

Immediately after Sissidimil, another person's article caught my attention.

If I just have a normal attitude towards other people, then this person's article will seem meaningful.

This person is Chaplin.

Logically speaking, Chaplin, who is the same company as Hitchcock, might have said something nice to Hitchcock to some extent, but I didn't see much such words in the article he wrote.

On the contrary, Chaplin seems to be not that important to Hitchcock's movie.

"I must say that this film by Andre Corleon is a masterpiece. In comparison, Mr. Hitchcock seems to be more than capable."

"Everyone may have different opinions on which is better and worse between the two movies, and the angles may be different from each other, but I think the advantages and disadvantages between the two can be seen from one detail. This detail is music."

"I don't know much about music, so I don't care about any tune or meaning. I only value the shocking effect of music on the soul. As we all know, in a movie, music is crucial to setting off the atmosphere of the movie and portraying the characters' personalities. The success of the movie music determines the appeal of the movie to a large extent."

"The composer of "This Killer Not Too Cold" is Andreah Morricone and Porter, both of whom are the most outstanding Hollywood film musicians who have won the Harvey Award for Best Composer. This time, the first time the two collaborated to the audience was a perfect fusion of Italian music and American Broadway music. This fusion has sparked brilliant sparks due to cultural relations and music styles!"

"Whether it is the slow, vocal-range violin music in "This Killer Not Too Cold", or the passionate and unrestrained American Broadway dance music, whether it is the clarinet music with typical Vivaldi style, or the jumping set with obvious western style, it makes the whole movie sometimes cheerful and sometimes melancholy, full of dynamic and poeticity."

"What we have to mention is the classical music that appears in "This Killer Not Too Cold", Beethoven's "The Ninth Symphony". This music has long infected many people because of the passion, the struggle against fate, and the infinite opposite of light. But in this movie, when "The Ninth Symphony" sounds, the picture is not a praise of life, but death! It is violence, bloodshed!"

"When I saw this shot in the cinema, I suddenly fell asleep. At that moment, I felt that no Hollywood filmmaker could surpass Andre Corleon! No one would think that he would use classical music like this. If the female humming in the previous song "Matthew Passion" was used to perfectly match the meaning of the picture and thus complete the high construction of the meaning of the film, then this time, Beethoven's "The Ninth Symphony" completed the creation of another completely different style, that is irony!"

"Violence, shooting, bleeding, and soundtracking such a shot. Ordinary Hollywood directors will definitely use some music with strong rhythm or gloomy. But Andre Corleon did not. He chose the "Ninth Symphony", which was originally full of light, freedom and desire for life. Such music, combined with the completely opposite picture in the sense, produced a meaning far beyond people's similarity. Irony! Through irony, the thinking and artistry of the whole movie suddenly rose to a level of wholeheartedness!"

"Looking at Mr. Hitchcock's "The Killer". In the whole movie, there is almost no complete music, some of which is just a simple and short soundtrack. When the plot is compact, such as when the murder is murdered, it is accompanied by jumping drums. When the plot is soothing, it is accompanied by wind music without any characteristics. There is a clear gap between this soundtrack and "This Killer Not Too Cold".

"Film is a comprehensive art, which requires the director to make his own movies in all aspects. Therefore, the requirements for the director are very strict. A good director must focus on his entire energy in the movie, rather than focusing on gains and losses. In this regard, Mr. Hitchcock cannot achieve the purity of Mr. Corleon."

Although Chaplin's tone on his face was very gentle in his articles, anyone could tell that. He was very dissatisfied with Hitchcock.

Although he and Hitchcock were not familiar with living, Hollywood is well aware of it. But this time, what Chaplin said is the truth.

Hitchcock cares too much about his movie, so he seems eager for quick success and instant benefits. He is eager for quick success and instant benefits. Many aspects of the movie cannot be considered, so it becomes rough.

I don’t know what expression Hitchcock would look like when he saw Chaplin’s article, and I don’t know what Carrey Rockefeller would think. I only know that within the Thunderbolt Hua Film Company, Chaplin and Hitchcock are already in the same situation, which is definitely a big disaster for Thunderbolt Hua Film Company.

In addition to John Ford, Cialis, and Chaplin, the Los Angeles Times also published many articles by filmmakers, including Strauheng, John Houston, William, Wheeler, Frank Capra and others.

Although the comments of these people are long and short, some are sharp and some are gentle, after all the analysis, the conclusions are surprisingly similar, that is, Hitchcock's "The Killer" is a bad movie, which is worthy of recognition and there is no doubt, but compared with "The Killer Not Too Cold", it is obviously not on the same level.

At the end of the comment, even Hollywood movie master Edwin Porter stood up and spoke.

This old man, who is deeply respected by Hollywood filmmakers, has a very cheerful style: "Mr. Hitchcock has made a good movie, which is worthy of being the title of a master of psychological films, but compared with Mr. Corleon, he seems a little petty. Putting aside the two movies themselves, I think Hitchcock cannot compare with Mr. Corleon in terms of directorial skills. Mr. Corleon is imaginative, and the genre he shoots has covered almost all areas of Hollywood films, historical films, horror films, realist films, TV movies, killer films, etc. He will shoot in every field, and every movie will become the pinnacle of this field. Looking at the history of Hollywood, only Mr. Corleon can do such a filmmaker."

"No one can doubt Mr. Hitchcock's talent in psychological films, but he has no novelty besides making psychological films, and does not have any new ideas. Does he want to make psychological films for the rest of his life? My suggestion is, can Mr. Hitchcock pick out this stalemate and shoot other subjects?!"

This article by Edwin Porter is a summary, and he also named the absolute final winner of this film duel.
