Chapter 885886 The premiere of "Gladiator" (1)(1/3)
In the movie, the two armies fight, flesh and blood flying! People are yelling and horses are yelling, and the battle between the Germans and Roman herringbone is abnormal.
The heroic war scenes and powerful visual impact made the people in the cinema almost suffocate.
The Romans photographed the main team launching a head-on attack. When the Germans and the Roman phalanx were in a tense battle, Maximus led a huge cavalry team to appear behind the Germans.
The Germanic front line was about to collapse under the front and back attacks.
The woods were already in a fire, and the soldiers on both sides fought bloody battles, their heads rolled around and screamed in grief. This was the climax of the entire opening war scene. Maximus led his men to charge to the death and crush the Germanic steel defense line like a meat grinder.
During the shooting process, Griffith, who is good at large-scale scheduling, shot the majestic and magnificent war scenes ups and downs, while Stiller, who is good at portraying characters in detail, took pictures of the individuals in the war to be fleshy and fleshy. As for me, my job is to organically blend these two completely different styles, and then combine all kinds of artistic elements such as music, sets, editing, etc. to create an artistic effect that suits my own ideas.
The swords and swords on the screen, and the people on the screen were surging, like roaring waves, making thousands of viewers in the theater reluctant to blink!
There is visual impact, and more importantly, when we were shooting this movie, we did not focus all our energy on the movie scene like Xi Shi Dimil. The reason why we filmed such a big scene was not that the war was fierce or thrilling. But in the vast war background, the figures of soldiers participating in the battle. Those figures, either tall, majestic, or weak and thin, fell down one by one in the fire of war, and the scenes were tragic, making people think deeply about the value of life. The painful moans made after life was crushed by history!
Human nature, conscience, and morality are all destroyed in the war.
Some are death. Death is cold.
The beginning of the war is fierce and the sound effects are also extremely impactful. The fast Montachi editing footage makes the war become more and more rapid.
But at the end of the war, when the Maximus cavalry began to attack the Germanic final defense line, suddenly all the voices disappeared, replaced by a female whisper, sadness, full of mourning and comfort, as if it was mourning for the war and crying for the lost lives.
This musical appearance made the audience's excitement suddenly turn around. War is not so exciting. They must have been deeply thinking in front of such a shot and in front of such music.
In conjunction with the music, it is slow motion. In the slow motion, the daggers pierce the soldiers' bodies bit by bit, and blood splatters bit by bit. The soldiers fell down with their unwilling eyes...
"War, this is war! Why do humans have war!" Einstein, who was sitting next to me, said softly.
His voice was very low, full of impatience and anger.
As a famous anti-war figure, as early as the First World War, he led some people from the German literary and artistic circles and scientific circles to establish an anti-war to prevent Huhu from ending the war. Such a movie shot was obviously impossible to not move Einstein.
The Germans began to defeat. In front of the Romans with high morale and well-armed weapons, there was only one result waiting for them when they were attacked from both sides.
But even in desperate situations, these barbarians did not retreat or fear at all. They rushed towards the enemy and fell down in the fight.
When the last Germanic man fell, the battlefield in the camera was like a hell on earth. There were fire everywhere, corpses everywhere, and blood everywhere.
Maximus, covered in wounds, inserted his sword on the land under his feet. After this battle, this land belonged to the Roman Empire.
"Long live Rome!" he raised his arms and shouted loudly.
"Long live Rome!"
"Long live Rome!"
Roman soldiers held up eagle flags and weapons, and cheers resounded throughout the valley.
Medium shot. On the high slope, the Roman emperor Ortis, wearing a blue cloak, breathed a long sigh, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, which was a smile of relief.
Then he closed his eyes, raised his head, and opened his hands like an old bird.
Like many times, the Romans won, and once again. And the lion who led them across Europe was old.
This war was thrilling. Within the opening twenty minutes, it deeply intimidated the audience's souls and made them unable to escape from this movie.
The atmosphere in the cinema was as tense as a string that was about to break, and I could even hear the creaking sound from the audience's hearts.
After the war, the camera turned and the clear mountains and forests appeared. There were gurgling water and unknown birds dancing in the woods. In the woods, a road lies across it, and a faint mist enveloped the woods, emitting an extremely quiet beauty.
A beautiful deer walked through the woods and walked carefully to the middle of the road. It turned its head and looked at the camera. Its eyes were crystal clear and soft. Then it lowered its head and ate the little grass that emerged from the road, with a clever expression.
In the previous tragic war, such a quiet scene suddenly appeared, and a gentle sigh suddenly appeared in the cinema.
A sound of the carriage wheels sounded.
The deer raised her head, turned her face and looked deep in the woods, then raised her legs and ran away.
Deep in the picture, far away from the road, a war horse appeared. The horse was fully armed, carrying a blue flag in his hand. One person, one horse, and one flag. In the fog, like a ghost.
The sound of the carriage became louder and louder, one, two, three... More cavalry appeared in the picture, and the last luxurious carriage slowly drove in.
"It must be someone with identity." Sam Warner exclaimed.
In the mid-scene shot, inside the carriage, there are two people lying on the side, one man and one woman. The man is young and handsome, but his eyes are always a little feminine and feminine. The woman is sexy and charming, lying on the fur, she is an absolute and charming person, very seductive.
The two people in the car, one is Prince Camerdos, and the other is his sister Monia.
The two of them chatted in the car, full of the unique slick emphasis of the nobles. From their conversation, the audience could know that Kamurdos came here this time to accept his father's abdication and became a replacement. They stopped behind the position and learned that his father had gone to the front line, Kamurdos rode a horse to find his father. It can be seen that this young man still had some respect for his father.
In the battlefield ahead, the smoke of gunpowder has dissipated. The soldiers are cleaning the battlefield. The hazy sky is beginning to snow. Snowflakes are falling down, covering the corpses and faces that have lost their lives.
The soldiers sat scattered on the ground, talking and laughing, as if nothing had happened.
Suddenly, everyone stood up and saluted in one direction, with a respectful attitude.
Medium shot. The old emperor Ortis, with white hair and beard, walked from the snow. He greeted the soldiers beside him while walking, with a peaceful expression but full of majesty. Although he is old, he is still an absolute lion. The Roman soldiers cannot clearly explain it in words.
The old emperor Ortis walked to Maximus.
"Maximus, you prove your courage again. I really hope this is the last time." The old emperor patted Maximus on the shoulder and laughed: "Maximus, you said, how should I reward the bravest Roman general?"
"Your Majesty, I just hope I can go home and farm." A faint smile finally appeared on Maximus' face: "Let me go home."
On the battlefield, a group of people rushed over. The leader was Camoses who had just arrived.
On the battlefield, thousands of soldiers stood up and cheered.
Kamoses was a little excited, but when he was about to accept these cheers, he found that the cheer was not for him at all.
On the high slope, the old emperor Otis stood in the wind with Maximus's hand, accepting the cheers of the soldiers.
"Maximus, they are cheering for you! You are their hero." The old emperor Ortis smiled with relief.
Maximus raised his sword amid cheers.
Cammodos walked to his father, greeting his father, and then hugged Maximus.
It can be seen that there is some strangeness between the old emperor and his son.
"Look, that's the future of the empire." The old emperor patted Maximus and whispered to his son.
His words were filled with helplessness and ridicule.
A slight uncoordinated factor appeared on the screen.
This makes the audience's emotions responsible.
The war was won, the Romans held a celebration ceremony, the soldiers were drinking and singing and laughing everywhere.
The next series of shots made this incongruity continue to expand like a crack in the glacier.
The situation seems very complicated between Cammodos, who is determined to be emperor and the upright Maximus, between the old emperor and his son, between Monia and Maximus.
One night, Maximus walked into the tent of the old emperor Ortis.
"Maximus, tell me why we are here? Why are we working so hard without regrets?" The old emperor raised his head and looked at Maximus with a kind smile on his face.
"For the glory of the empire, your majesty." Maximus answered honestly.
"That's right. I saw that map. The map I created has been in the battle for 25 years, and I have only had a few years of peace. Maximus, the death I brought." The old emperor laughed.
He pulled Maximus to sit in the chair, and the conversation between the two men was sincere and hard.
Maximus was a man who was extremely loyal to the empire. He believed that the Roman Empire existed to bring light to the world. But the old emperor believed that the land he brought was just death and destruction.
"Maximus, I'm about to die. Before a person dies, he should think about his goal in his life. How will people evaluate me after death? In the past, Rome and republic were an ideal. People thought in their hearts, but they dared not say it out. I was worried that it would not survive in the cruel real environment." The old emperor had a hint of sincerity in his eyes.
This emperor, who is already in his twilight years, exudes charming charm.
He was reflecting, but most of the time, he was summarizing the path he had walked in his life.
"I hope you can fulfill your last task before you go home." The old emperor Ortis stood up and returned to his wide chair.
Maximus stood up. He waited for the orders of the old emperor. "I hope that after my death, you will be the protector of Rome."
The old emperor's words stunned Maximus. At the same time, a burst of surprise sounds were heard in the Grand Theater.
The emperor of the Empire did not pass the throne to his own son and actually passed it on to a general under his command. Such a thing is indeed too unexpected.
The old emperor seemed to have expected Maximus to have such a reaction.
"You will receive all my authorization, and you will punish the corruption in Rome and return the power to the people of the Roman land. Will you accept the glory I have given you?"
The old emperor walked up to Maximus and stared at his eyes.
The honest Maximus was unwilling to accept it. But Ortis told him that in Rome, no one was more suitable than him. Because he was the only one who was not corrupted by power.
"Cammedos has a moral problem, and he cannot take over Rome." Ortis has lost confidence in his son.
Maximus exited the emperor's tent and he had to consider it. As he walked out of the tent, he met Monia, the sexy woman.
She was seducing him little by little, but Maximus was unmoved at all. No one could know what had happened between them and what had happened.
Before sunset, Camurdos was recruited in the tent of the old emperor Ortis. This handsome and young man was extremely excited from the moment he entered the tent, because in his opinion, he was almost at hand from the throne of the emperor. His father called him over and must have passed the throne to him.
In the room, the light was dark, and the old emperor sat in a wide seat with a blanket on his body. His aging body could no longer withstand the cold weather.
At this point when the movie ended, a loud noise began to sound from the audience in the theater.
Obviously, they all felt something was going to happen.
The previous shots were all bright, but in this shot, only a few places were bright, and other places were shrouded in large chunks of shadows. Under the candlelight, the statue of Plato, the old emperor's deep statue also seemed gloomy.
The background music sounded, and it was a low cello full of conspiracy and danger.
"What's going to happen." Einstein sat upright.
When the old emperor saw his son coming in, he pointed to the chair opposite him and signaled him to sit down. Then he sat up straight and began to express his inner thoughts.
"Cammedus, my son, you will not become the emperor of Rome." The old emperor went straight to the point.
Kamurdos was stunned, tears flowing out of his eyes. In his eyes, his father's behavior was too cruel.
"Father, I want to know which wiser and more capable person will be taken over by the emperor's position than me?" Camerdos asked.
"I will hand over the power to Maximus, and the empire is entrusted by him until the Senate is ready to govern Rome again. Rome will become a republic again." The old emperor stood under the candlelight, looking unusually tall.
