Chapter 318
The director of "Troy" is Wolfgang Peterson, a German.
The name may be very strange, but he once directed a movie called "Strike from the Underwater", which was nominated for the Oscar for Best Director and Best Screenwriter in the second year. The work was also included in the Hollywood Reporter as the second place in the top 10 World War II films.
At that time, he was 40 years old.
After spending many years of time, he became famous and had more room to display.
When it comes to "Troy", this is the ninth work he directed and also his most ambitious one.
The subject is taken from the most famous battle "The Trojan Horse Siege" in the ancient Greek mythology "Homera's Epic", and it is not lacking in popularity at all.
The popularity of "The Lord of the Rings" has also brought a wide audience base to similar epic works, which is also the reason why Warner is willing to support it.
It also took a lot of thought from the casting and investment of the movie.
Achilles found Brad Pitt, and he wanted to have a figure and a fan base, so the choice was absolutely suitable.
The rest are Orlando Bloom, the Elf Prince, a popular chicken with a good looks, and there is no problem.
Judging from the entire lineup, it is quite suitable. The combination of old actors with traffic is classic. Several female supporting roles are not inferior to those of vases.
That's not all. The screenwriter of "Troy" is David Benioff, who once created the script for Spike Lee's "25 Hours", and the US index of Phelps was also nominated for the Oscar nomination.
It can be said that the main creators behind the scenes are basically the top majors in the industry.
Only a platform like Warner can raise nearly 200 million projects to find a team like this. Otherwise, even if they have a good relationship, there will be no so much shooting funding to be collected.
......
There were many acquaintances at the scene. It took Lemann more than half an hour to say hello one by one and sit in his own seat.
The fellow travelers are Benjamin Joseph.
As the manager of Firefly Film's internal affairs, he needs to manage connections and so on. He is also very good at it.
At 8 pm, the movie begins to show.
After the brief background introduction at the beginning, the bloody plot officially unfolds.
Lehman had heard of the reputation of this movie, but he had never watched it. When he watched it again, he unconsciously aimed at Brad Pitt, who was leading the cast and crew in the front row.
He suddenly wanted to know what this guy was thinking at this moment. Will it be embarrassing?
At the beginning, Orlando Bloom played the role of Troy Prince Paris hooked up with the Queen Helen of the Spartan King. Putting aside the setting, the handsome man and beautiful woman were quite eye-washing, and the next story was developing more and more...
How to say it, it’s very terrible. Or, why did the focus of the shooting change from war to love and love?
Could it be that this is not "Troy", and the title of the film should be "Troy Love Story"?
Especially after the Greek Warrior, Achilles played by Brad Pitt, came on stage, it was even more impossible to watch.
On the big screen, the ridiculously simple battlefield, the scene of the two armies confronting each other is more like a joke.
What makes people even more speechless is that the picture is very thin. Once the troops on both sides are pulled apart, they not only do not have the magnificent effect that comes to their faces, but also have a strong sense of discomfort. It is eye-catching. It is like... In the Warring States Period of Japan, the national war was agreed to be fought, but hundreds of people fought around, like a fight between villagers. The weapons and equipment felt like they were having fun.
Oh my God, those who have a little understanding of the story of "The Siege of Troy" should know that before the Trojan plan, the armies of the two sides confronted each other for ten years, and almost all their belongings were put in this.
Lehmann barely watched it for half an hour, and he really couldn't stand it.
There must be some climax scenes in the movie. Not to mention the real depiction of the scenes of war, at least it must be able to convince the audience.
Even more awesome operations have come, Brad Pitt also contributed a full back/naked appearance in the movie.
The producer probably wants to impress female fans with this meat-selling benefit?
Otherwise, why does the Greek No. 1 Warrior set up to interpret the characters by relying on this?
This operation is simply incomprehensible.
You should know that in "Homera's Epic", there are scenes that specifically depict Achilles' heroic spirit, and all the answers are given, but they can't copy them.
The plot has not yet ended, and the warriors regard it as the general of the God of War, that is, Hector played by Eric Barna, and the eldest prince of Troy. In the confrontation with Achilles, he could not take a single move and lay down instantly.
Then I saw Brad Pitt with a proud look on his face, holding a weapon and looking down on the audience.
How to say it? Lehman probably could guess that the design of this lens was to set off how awesome Achilles was and his martial arts value was amazing, but... how could such a arrogant person not be able to win Troy for so long?
Such a set of force is reasonable?
One fights a hundred, it is not enough to exaggerate it to one fight a thousand, and one fights a thousand.
So powerful, can't win a city?
Lehman was stupid and felt that his IQ was insulted.
Even if he didn't know much about Homer's epic, he could know that such a plot was simply a disaster.
Or, the viewers feel the same way.
Just when Lehman was so bored that he looked around, he had already found some of the audience leaving.
You know, this is the premiere, and all the people who come here are true fans.
If you are not a true fan, no one is willing to endure the story of a novel or two. Only by standing and having a breath of wind can you watch a movie, and the ticket price is very expensive.
To sum up, "Troy" is a love movie that is covered with epic battlefield themes, with a plot choreography that is not very smart, pale and powerless, and a love movie that is so bloody that it is not enough for dogs.
What's more, Homer's epic is very famous, it's not the kind of vulgar love novels that have problems with the author's three views.
This makes it even more unacceptable.
Moreover, "Troy" has a length of more than 160 minutes, and the rhythm is very slow.
In the end, after Hector died in the battle, the Trojan horse suddenly made its debut.
The war between the two sides has been fighting for more than ten years, and it was achieved through this trick to plan successfully. However, in Lehman's opinion, this scene was very abrupt. Although it was for the consideration of film production and concentrated the time, the entire magnificent and magnificent climax part did not impress the audience at all, but instead made people laugh.
Achilles layed so much, but in the end he died at Paris, who was elopement with the queen, causing the prince to fight this war.
this???
Has the culprit who provoked the war turned into a hero?
