"The Tower Guard" is a drama/suspense/thriller film directed by Christopher Nihomme and starring Gerald Butler/Peter Mullan/Connor Swindle. Some viewers’ opinions compiled from the Internet, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
"Tower Guard" review (1): The story of the tower guard
is flat, without much ups and downs. However, there is one thing that everyone may have overlooked. When James himself went to the lighthouse, there was a shot of mercury that turned to the ground. At the beginning, the three people found the mercury leaked when they first came to the top of the tower. James and DONALD put on protective clothing to clean up the mercury. If you encounter mercury, you will lose your mind, so it may be that both of them inhaled the volatile mercury when they went to the lighthouse alone, and THOMAS had never been there, so they were more sensible.
"Towerman" review (2): I haven't seen a movie with so many holes in logic for a long time.
The three protagonists of this movie have performed well, but unfortunately they were ruined by the screenwriter, and the logic of the plot is full of holes. The level of this screenwriter is not even an amateur level. Maybe the level of the third grade of elementary school is higher than him. For Sparta's sake, give it an extra star. In addition, the little boy who appeared suddenly, the screenwriter, can't you explain who he is or how he came to the island? It is obvious that the screenwriter has made a temporary role for no reason in order to take over the following plot. I look back to the front. No mention of this person's name at all, this level is really speechless. . . . . So I just want to say that many good actors are ruined in bad scripts.
"Towerman" review (3): gold has not changed, lost life
today is really boring, watch it slowly, the filming is OK.
Gold is still gold. It hasn't changed, hasn't moved, hasn't enjoyed it. Six people have died, and they will affect their families. The surviving old man will probably tell a lie according to Sparta's instructions. I made my inner life a little easier in time, but I can't go back to the past, it's almost falling into the ground, so why bother to do this more.
There is no such movie in reality. It’s not yours. You can’t hold things upright. It’s better to avoid them and don’t open Pandora’s box, otherwise one step will lead to a wrong step. In the end, gold is still gold, gold No change, life has changed. . . .
"Tower Guardian" review (4): the old, middle-aged and young people’s isolated island self-defeating
is a regular performance in suspense film, supported by a psychological framework, which empties the reality of the narrative. The storm brought flying birds and corpses for the tower guards, and also brought the "golden fleece"-like gold, which completed the transformation from the conflict between external and aggressive forces to internal and psychological conflict in the scramble and guard. Having the idea of the play is the "copy" reproduction of the old middle-aged youth-in order to take the gold as his own, the other old middle-aged youth who is destined to be ordinary must be defeated. Perhaps this passage can be regarded as a catalyst for psychological transformation.
Although the "presence" of the director's scene scheduling can be seen (the old tower guard lights the three candles and sweeps it in despair; the middle-aged tower guard's uprising and murder can be completed under the barrier of the door frame), but the artistic expression The innovation and the analysis of psychological changes in claustrophobia are actually not as effective as the more effective horror genres of major studios.
"Towerman" review (5): I’m afraid I didn’t look at it when the film was not good.
First talk about the kid who looks like Charlie. It’s obviously on the pirate ship. James also said that it’s just like Charlie. Charlie. This can confirm why the pirates are fooled away by a few words, because they don't want to let their children see violence during the day. As for why James killed the young man and committed suicide in the end, the fundamental reason was that he did not believe that the young man could keep the secret, nor did he believe that he could keep the secret, so he asked the cunning old man to take care of his family, and then he freed himself. The old man originally didn't want gold, and later he didn't want it, but his companions encouraged him to fall into the quagmire step by step.
As for the slow-paced story of the whole story, I'm afraid that there are only fighting scenes in your eyes, right? The daily life of the three people is precisely to set off the climax of James killing the young man and then committing suicide. As for gold and pirates, it is just a handful of distiller's yeast when making wine. It is grain that really changes from grain to wine. What this drama really filmed is the step-by-step changes of the three of them, showing us the evolution of human nature from good to evil. Including last jamIt’s not that he got better when he committed suicide. It’s that he was a kind-hearted person who couldn’t bear too much evil, but he was unwilling to give up his family. Since he couldn’t keep the gold, he would leave it to the old man to keep it, so that he could really improve his family. fate.
"The Tower Guard" review (6): a look of bewilderment
after watching the whole movie, a question mark on his face: Who is Charlie? Where did Charlie come from? Why didn't he get a single line for two minutes, and received his lunch without saying a word? Seeing that the director wanted to make James go crazy and sprinkled some mercury as a bedding, but he couldn't use killing Charlie as an inducement. It was too buggy and casual. If it weren’t for the change in the length of the candles that Thomas put out in the chapel behind, it would suggest that Charlie stayed here. I would have thought that this TM was purely a man made out of thin air, but the chapel was clean and clean. What will Charlie eat and drink for a few days? OK, that little Charlie was either in his previous life or was eating and drinking for several days without being noticed by the three. Then the hidden master ushered in his task after working hard and lurking for several days-the person who was least supposed to be discovered (the least vigilant) when it shouldn't be discovered (the three have just experienced the exhaustion and shake of the battle) Donald) received a lunch box in seconds. As for where Charlie came from: In the film, a total of three ships landed on the island. James and Thomas both knew Charlie and excluded two pirate (guess) ships, so Charlie smuggled under the eyes of seven people during the day? Or maybe Charlie has been lurking since the last tower guard? In fact, he is a hidden king (manual dog head). In general, the film is slow, the plot is forced, the logic is full of loopholes, the dialogue is blunt and boring, and two stars are given to the king of Sparta.
Comments on "The Tower Guard" (7): The Walking Dead.
My so-called good and evil are rewarded, my so-called morality, and my so-called respect for life are deeply and repeatedly tortured in this movie!
In the process of watching a movie, I often substitute myself for the role in the film, and I would like to ask what choice would I make if I replaced it with. If
is replaced by me, will I choose to die? And will I fight back when I am killed? Will I see the box open? Will I be greedy when I see Treasure? What choice will I make when someone kills someone for a treasure? The movie
combines all the scenes of torturing human nature reasonably and looks very natural. If the man who was killed is not found, there will be no story behind. Or if they didn't open the box, they wouldn't be greedy. Or if they follow the old man’s advice and don’t open the box, the following tragedy will not happen. Or they can avoid the tragedy that follows by not being greedy. Is
a chicken and an egg, or an egg and a chicken? Is it karma? Is it karma in Buddhism?
The greed, deception, and betrayal in human nature repeatedly torture everyone in the film! Instead of you, what choice would you make? Do you choose to be numb? Do you choose the law of the jungle? Do you choose benevolence and morality?
has no answers, no right or wrong, no good or evil, only a piece of meat. A piece of meat under desire. When dominated by desire, we are all walking dead!
"Towerman" review (8): you can see it or not, the overall shot is rough
middle-aged and young people are happy when holding gold, I murmured, this prop is too serious, right?
gold proportion It is more than twice as much as iron. That big piece of gold is very, very heavy, at least ten kilograms. The actor feels too light and light to hold it. This detail is very representative. The whole movie is like this. It is rough
. The most important clue in the movie is the relationship between the three people. The little ghost and the middle-aged person have a better relationship. The little ghost often fights and fights with the middle-aged person. The middle-aged person also defends the little ghost when the light is on the top of the tower. But the little ghost started to have a normal relationship with the old man, and because of this, the middle-aged man and the little ghost didn't make any preparation for turning their faces. First of all, some people said that the middle-aged person may have something to do with the inhalation of mercury, but before the murder, I thought he was quite normal, not like nerve poisoning at all. After the murder, he was completely crazy. If he is crazy because his conscience is frustrated, then he hates the little devil. He hates the little devil, because the old man called him to kill the child. He should hate the old man if he wants to hate it, but he doesn’t mean it at all, he hates the little devil instead. , What is the reason? Moreover, the initial murder of the little devil was purely self-defense. If a middle-aged person hates himself for being involved in these things, it is completely unreasonable for him to turn around and take the little devil to vent his anger. It is better to hate the old man who commanded him to beat the child to death.Head, so his motives to befriend the little devil and even kill the little devil are completely untenable.
On the other hand, the little devil followed the old man, and there was no setting for the middle-aged man. He changed his position the next morning after the murder. Just because the middle-aged man woke up in the morning, he immediately made up his mind to ignore the original situation. The middle-aged man who slapped and snarled, and then repeatedly slapped the old man to leave the middle-aged man to run. Didn't he and the old man still talk to each other several times? What was the motivation for such a 180-degree turn? And from the conversation with the old man behind him, I don't think he is poisoned by mercury, I think he has always been quite normal.
Finally, let me talk about it. After watching this movie, the three protagonists do not exist for the sake of gold. First of all, the old man is getting older, his wife and children are all dead, he is frustrated, gold is of little significance to him, so he started to propose not to gold is not a fake, because his motivation to black gold is not strong. A middle-aged person has a family and a mouth, and he has a motive to ask for gold, but he doesn't take gold too seriously, otherwise he won't have gold in his hands and ask the old man to kill himself. The kid sees gold the most, because he is young and gold is the most meaningful to his future life, but even he is not lustful. If lustful is true, he will run with three golds and encourage the old man to run together. , He didn't share too much gold for half a person, so his motivation to encourage the old man to run was not to share more gold. So after the killing, where is the logic of these three killing each other? The movie was not made clear at all. It was just like the light and fluttering gold, too crude. Since it is not for the money and the birds to eat, the kid will immediately and the middle-aged man. Turning over, the middle-aged man's motive for killing the little ghost is untenable. To sum up this movie, I personally give it a score of 6-6.5, whether you can watch
"Towerman" or not (9): The old driver is strategizing and in control of everything; the big driver is in jail and moral dilemma; the little driver is selfish and cowardly. Death to Huangquan!
finished watching this "Tower Guardian", it's okay, the subject matter is super good, but the director did not shoot well, the depth is not enough, the plot is slightly weak, give it four stars! This movie actually reflects the faith dilemma and moral salvation of the three generations of old, middle and young people in the current society! As a veteran driver Thomas who has made mistakes, lost his family and has nothing, he has guarded the lighthouse on the island for 25 years. He has experienced the ups and downs of his life and the baptism of all the big winds and waves of life. He has nothing to be afraid of. Anxious, so he was calm and composed, controlling and writing the overall situation, from discovering gold to killing people, to persuading the team members to obey his arrangements, concealing the situation, resolving team conflicts, and uniting the people. Thomas has always been the helm of the city with deep, strategizing and decisive victory. However, he did not let the team members open the box, but secretly opened it by himself. When he found Gold but pretended not to know, he could keep all the secrets, pretend that nothing happened, smile at the clouds and light wind, but in the dead of night, remembering the past. Ruyan, old drivers will burst into tears! As a big driver, James, who has a lot of old and young, is burdened with huge pressures of life, is hard-working, and has to support his family. In order to survive and to let his family live a happy life, he works hard, strives to make money, and lives more carefully. ! So he can go to the hall, go to the kitchen, cook, do physical work, repair the lighthouse, all kinds of skills, and find gold he is as happy as the young Donald, because he needs money, the critical moment is that he saved the other team When the lives of two people are ruthless, he will never be merciless! But the child is his Achilles’ heel, so when he accidentally killed Charlie, a child he knew from work together but got on the island inexplicably, his heart broke down, he blamed himself and became annoyed, and he was in pain. When he found out that Donald, the author of all this, didn’t. When he was remorseful and unwilling to take responsibility, James began to lose control and killed Donald. Because Donald’s actions dragged him into the water, he also became a murderer, so James, whose faith collapsed, chose to commit suicide. He didn’t want to Lies, and don't want to live in self-blame and sin without conscience! As a young driver Donald who has not been deeply involved in the world, is pretentious, bohemian, is eating, drinking, having fun, and enjoying life, he urgently needs to be recognized by the society and others. He has shallow social experience, simple mind, does not understand the world, and is unwilling to take responsibility. Just want to get rich overnight, play a life! When he killed someone in self-defense, he was afraid and anxious. Because he did not have much social experience, he was very fragile and his psychological defense was extremely easy to be defeated. But when he and James found the gold in the box, he became excited again, because This money can make him worry about food and clothing all his life, and he can even show off in front of the opposite sex and make him behave.Have a face! So he became selfish and indifferent. When James regretted killing Charlie by accidentally killing the child, Donald could not understand but had a quarrel with James, because in his opinion they had already killed people and were forced into desperation, so he killed one more What's wrong with people, as long as the gold can be taken away in the end, nothing else matters! When in the end he and Thomas thought that James was crazy and disappeared, he was going to drop James and escape with his gold! Thomas, a scheming man, will not leave James, because he wants to keep everything under his control and can't let anyone reveal the secret! The edge was too sharp, and the selfish and cowardly Donald was finally killed by the irrational James. This may also be destined for him to escape! The elderly have experienced strong winds and waves, have seen everything in the past, and have a better understanding of the rules of survival; middle-aged people have endured the wind and rain, shouldered too many responsibilities, and are in a moral dilemma; young people have experienced gentle winds and drizzles, facing the temptation of material desires, Stumbled deeper and deeper! The film tells the story of three lighthouse keepers shifting to work on an uninhabited island for six weeks, but the accidental discovery of gold changes all this. Loneliness, greed, and paranoia all broke out, and the three began to kill each other!
"Tower Guardian" review (10): On human nature
I have nothing to do on the weekend and watched two movies with Amazon Prime members, one of which is this. After I came to Douban, I found out that the score was not high, but it made sense! First of all, after watching it, I think the advantage of this movie is not in the plot, friends who like drama can take a detour. But I also have some small questions about the plot, and welcome people to discuss it. Let me start by intriguing. First of all, why is no one looking for the three outsiders who died on the island related to gold? Secondly, why did a little boy who was killed by mistake came to the island late at night, where did he come from, why did he come, and after he was killed by mistake, why did no one find him strangely missing? Finally, a question of common sense, is it true that the sea of corpses will not be discovered by anyone? Would it be better if the movie ended with someone finding the corpse?
Anyway, in my opinion, this is a movie that is superior in depth or theme. Human nature is really a big theme. Almost every segment of this movie is testing human nature, and the change of human nature is not achieved overnight, but eroded bit by bit. First of all, when the youngest Donald mistakenly killed the first outsider, we can be sure that this was a kind person in the initial plot, and blamed himself for killing others by mistake. This is in stark contrast to the young man who wanted to leave behind the second tower guard, James, and fled the island with gold in the later story. This change does not change all at once, but slowly. Of course, in the first clip, we can also feel the different feelings that age brings to people, the frivolous impulse of young people, the maturity and meticulousness of middle-aged and old people. Secondly, when they saw gold, the different reactions of the three people fully demonstrated the greed of human nature. Some people exposed this greed without doubt, and some people engraved this greed in their bones and thought and designed for greed. , Of course the latter is talking about Uncle Thomas. It can be said that at the end of the movie, Uncle Thomas pressed the second tower guard James into the water, and I was also deeply shocked. It's hard to imagine what kind of state of mind this is? This is a request from the second tower guard. This is also something Thomas doesn't want to do. This is also something that he does not die, and all his efforts are in vain. It is difficult to choose. It would be ironic if the two died together. Then this movie still believes that human nature is good. Judging from the last life of Uncle Thomas, the movie believes that human nature is evil. Finally, in fact, the three tower guards respectively represent different human natures. In the face of testing human nature, some people will become numb and gradually lose their inner condemnation or moral bottom line. This is the youngest tower guard Donald. Some people think that they can escape their inner condemnation, and they can cross the moral bottom line without caring. In the end, they can't escape. They can't bear the pressure and become crazy. They can only choose to die and get rid of them. This is of course. Our second tower guard, James, finally killed the youngest tower guard for Thomas. It can also be seen that this is really a partner with a strong sense of morality and responsibility, which can be regarded as a small glory in human nature. There is also Thomas, who can be said to be able to live on the bottom line and self-desire. Every step he takes is thinking of the moral condemnation of others, but he himself does not show self-blame or remorse. He does nothing. Is thinking well and doesn’t want to go wrong, he will not do what he doesSelf-condemnation, what he thinks is how to escape the moral condemnation of others and live better. Please note that this is different from the second tower guard. The second tower guard James is not trying to escape the morals of others. Condemned, but couldn't escape his own heart, Thomas was the opposite. But is Thomas bad? In the movie, he is considered for everyone, so that everyone can work together. He is very good to his teammates. He kills others because of last resort. When others put a knife on his head, he can only resist in order to survive. He killed the second tower guard to fulfill the request of the second tower guard. Thomas is a slightly more complicated character. So far, there is only so much I want to express. It is just a personal point of view. Welcome everyone to come and discuss with me!
