Speaking of gangster movies, there are too many gangster movies in Hong Kong. The gangster movies in Hong Kong have their own characteristics. The shooting scenes are also very good. Hong Kong director Johnnie To is the representative of Hong Kong gangster movies, as well as Hollywood. The development is also particularly good Hong Kong director John Woo.
However, Hong Kong movies have a common problem, the plot is too simple and too stereotyped, the theme of the movie is often not deep, and the characters are more like facial paintings, so we have watched so many Hong Kong movies, but few of them can make us remember deeply. .
The only thing I can think of now is a Hong Kong movie "Infernal Affairs". "Infernal Affairs" should belong to a police and bandit movie, not a gangster movie. We are talking about this movie today. It is the greatest movie in the history of gangster movies. It was released in the movie "The Godfather" in 1972.
1972 In 1972, the film director Coppola has not yet become famous. He has made a few movies before, and he has lost everything and a lot of debt. At this time, the film company approached Coppola and asked Coppola to adapt the novel The Godfather trilogy into a movie. After reading the Godfather novel, Coppola scolded such a rubbish novel, how could it be made into a movie?
In fact, Coppola already had several films at this time. He wrote his own films and could not find any investment. However, due to the pressure of survival, Coppola still took over this job. How rotten? I suggest everyone to take a look. It is really bad. In front of the novel trilogy, Guo Jingming can be said to be a master level.
First of all, Coppola dismantled all the trilogy and dig deeper, the deep emotional relationship between the people behind the big families of the gang, the justice and morality of the father, son, friends and family, "The Godfather" dissolves a lot of deep morality and Social emotion, sculpting an 18-stream novel into a classic movie.
's movie "The Godfather" is one of director Jiang Wen 's favorite movie works. The Godfather can say that when each picture is frozen, it is a finely crafted painting. Director Coppola spent a lot of thought to put Every shot is drawn, the emotion of every character is very meticulous, and the scene of every picture is expressed just right.
Not only in terms of the film's creative technique, "The Godfather" is a classic, but in terms of plot, the film focuses on the continuation of the emotions between the old godfather and the new godfather, extending this conflict from the outside. to the interior, thus broadening the expressive space of the film.
starring Marlon Brando , after the movie was released, the evaluation of the movie godfather was not particularly high. In fact, on the one hand, Marlon Brando felt that the novel prototype of this movie was too bad. Well, the other actors are very young and unknown actors, and the director Coppola is not famous either.
However, what I didn't expect, when the movie Godfather was released, not only won several Oscar awards? It was a big hit at the box office, won unanimous praise from all film critics, and gave director Coppola the opportunity to shoot a series of more classic films in the later period.
The Godfather of the movie can be said to be flawless in all aspects, and it is difficult for us to pick out some flaws in this movie, even though the movie has been released for 50 years, it is still difficult for us to surpass.
The era is different. Some of the talented directors have passed away, and the talented actors have also passed away, or have become old and powerless. The best era of movies has passed. The tenacity that is strong and has a moral bottom line no longer exists. Maybe there will be a new art form in the future, which will completely replace the film.
