ALL NOVEL Chapter 49
Chapter 49 derailed
“What’s missing?” Graham couldn’t help repeating William’s words, but he also thought about it. Indeed, after watching the first episode of “Pacific War”, the familiar recipe and familiar taste seemed to be There is not the kind of enthusiasm like watching “The Company of Brothers” at first. So, what is missing?
William frowned and couldn’t tell a reason. “I don’t know, but I always feel that there is a little chemical reaction.” They are not professional film critics, just pure passionate audiences.
William and Graham looked at each other, and fell silent for a moment. Before the broadcast, I was in a high mood, but at this time I was suddenly stuck in the air and I felt unable to get down. This feeling was quite embarrassing. “I didn’t say I didn’t like it,” William explained. “To be honest, I think the series is still very exciting. , I still like it very much, it deserves to be a work created by Spielberg and Hanks, but…”
is this “but”, which makes people feel a little overwhelmed. Graham suddenly suggested, “Why don’t we go to the Yahoo community and IMDB to read the comments?” After communicating with everyone, maybe their questions can be answered.
“Good idea!” William regained his vitality. As a fan of “Brothers”, he hoped more than anyone that “Pacific War” would be the second classic.
So William ran back to the room quickly, like a tornado, Graham followed closely, and the Taylors sitting in the living room had no time to react. They only heard a messy footsteps up the stairs, “Billy, what about the show? How? Does it look good?” Mrs. Taylor yelled, but she didn’t get any response. She smashed her eyes and laughed helplessly.
Quickly open the Yahoo community, and the number one in the instant popularity is the first episode of the “Pacific War” discussion thread. Less than ten minutes have passed since the end of the episode. The discussion thread has more than 500 floors, and it is estimated that there are a small part of it. Movie fans participate in the discussion while watching the live broadcast.
Clicking on the post, the front floor is as expected, all of which are just excitement about the show finally opening. It was not until the fifty-fifth floor that someone began to discuss the series, William and Graham. Obviously they are not the only two viewers who feel abnormal. In the post, many people expressed similar doubts, always feeling that the series lacked some sparks; among them, several radical fans screamed, thinking that “The Pacific War” The quality of is really terrible. It is not on the same level as “Brothers” at all. This is simply rubbish.
until the 231st floor, a long reply made William stop the downward motion of the mouse.
“Undoubtedly, because of the existence of the drama “Brother Company”, all audiences have reported great expectations for the “Pacific War”, but after actually watching it, there will inevitably be a gap. I hold a different point of view.
At the beginning, the first episode of “Brothers” didn’t make people stunned. The excellence of the series comes from the completeness and sublimation of the ten episodes of the whole series. When the first episode is watched again, the taste is completely different, so yes The impression of the first episode has also been sublimated. Now the “Pacific War” only broadcasts the first episode. It is obviously biased to rely on the first episode to determine the death penalty for the entire miniseries.
The first episode of ‘Pacific War’ always makes people feel that something is missing, which is simply the core idea.
In the “Brothers Company”, each episode has a core idea, and even each episode has a different core character of the protagonist. This makes the story line of the series very condensed, and the narrative rhythm and key points have been highlighted; but when it comes to the’Pacific Ocean’ At the time of “War”, the first episode lacked the cohesion of the core ideas, which caused the content to be somewhat scattered and the rhythm to be somewhat unbalanced.
The content of the first episode can be divided into three parts. The first part is the daily life before departure; the second part is the adaptation rhythm when you just landed on Guadalcanal Island; the third part is the thrills after the outbreak of the first encounter.
The focus of these three parts is different, especially the three protagonists in the first part, when there is only one left in the latter two parts, the audience will be wondering: Is the story not complete? Moreover, the sublimation of the theme condensed on Robert Lacy has not been able to give a fatal blow.
It can be seen that what the’Pacific War’ wants to highlight is the psychological contrast, the warmth of the family between entering the battlefield and the cruel blood after entering the war. The killing game before the end not only shocked Robert Lacy. , Also shocked every audience in front of the TV, the war’s distortion of human nature is really chilling.
From this point of view, the series still continues the quality of the previous work. Unfortunately, the performance techniques are superficial, and the content of the first episode is already crowded, which leads to the character image is not full enough, and I quickly want to be in the first episode. One step in the collection is really difficult.
What’Brother Company’ is good at is that each episode shows different aspects of the war, and examines all aspects of the battlefield from different perspectives. Every flesh and blood character is built together to form the powerful shock of the Brother Company; now it can be guessed, “Pacific Ocean” “War” is intended to focus on three roles-although this idea is still to be proved in later episodes, the disadvantage is that it weakens the spirit of the group, and the advantage is that each role will become fuller. And vivid.
Personally, I am full of expectations for the “Pacific War”. If the “Brothers Company” demonstrated the truth and cruelty of war, can the “Pacific War” show the impact of war on everyone? Otherwise, the pen and ink describing the family seems to be superfluous. Once successful, then the “Pacific War” is fully qualified to go hand in hand with the “Brother Company”!
Therefore, it is too early to draw conclusions on the pros and cons of the series. The outstanding performance of “Brothers Company” is impressive, and the “Pacific War” deserves at least some more time and opportunities. The ten-episode miniseries is not too difficult, is it?
It is worth mentioning that among the three protagonists currently on the stage, the one who is most impressed is not Robert Lacy who supported the main line of the first episode, nor is it the well-known war hero John Basilon of the Americans. It’s the young master of the rich family. Is anyone like me?
At the moment of his appearance, sunshine, time and time seemed to stop for him. The regret, anger, struggle, bitterness and longing left in those bright eyes easily outlined the character! I can’t believe it, I’m already looking forward to what will happen when he steps on the battlefield! Shouldn’t be cannon fodder? He seems to be one of the three main protagonists! ”
This long reply triggered a fierce follow-up discussion. Some agreed, some rebutted, some sneered, some yelled, some rationally analyzed, some watched and eat melon, some suddenly realized that the heated disputes were so lively.
However, there is one thing that most people agree with: This is a mini-series, and you need to watch the direction of the later episodes to make a comprehensive judgment.
Only a small number of enthusiastic viewers believe that the poor quality of the first episode has ruined the entire series. This is unforgivable for the brothers of a drama like “The Brothers”. They even excitedly called on netizens. Let’s go to IMDB and score a point for the “Pacific War”. However, judging from the current IMDB scoring trend, there are not many audiences willing to respond to this call.
After reading this reply, William suddenly became clear, “So it is!” His eyes brightened again, “Obviously this time Spielberg and the others are more ambitious and want to explore more profound things, because they can’t repeat it. The “Brothers Company” set, in terms of comradeship, no work can surpass the “Brothers Company”. Therefore, the first episode is just the beginning!”
William clenched his fists involuntarily, and his mood rose again. Because of his high expectations before, he was so eager that he could not wait for the first episode to be breathtakingly suffocating. But in fact, this is impossible, because this is a miniseries, not a movie. Even the “Brothers Company” is a piece of ten episodes of its excitement and classics.
“No wonder!” Graham also suddenly realized, “I said, when I watched it was exciting and mixed, and it was wonderful, but after watching it, I felt that something was missing.” Graham hit William with his shoulder. , Exclaimed, “The last scene was really well filmed I think it is even better than the Brothers Company. It reminds me of Winters shooting the single German soldier. That scene!”
“The one that impressed me the most was the same as that netizen…” William looked at the screen. The registered account was called “Brando Fanatic”. It seemed that he should be a fan of Marlon Brando. “It’s from that rich man. Master.” Then William chuckled, “Because he is the only hapless person in the first episode, and he didn’t succeed in joining the army.”
Graham rolled his eyes speechlessly, “As you say, what impressed me the most was the girl Robert Lacy wanted to write to. She was so pretty.”
“Look, it’s not just me who thinks that way.” William flipped through the post again, pulling Graham to continue browsing.
“Brando is fanatical, and so am I. The young master of the rich man’s family is really brilliant. His performance seems to be born with a halo, which makes people unable to look away!”
“Doesn’t anyone think that the rich man’s young master is really too handsome? My God, he rides a bicycle into the wind, but his eyes reveal a desperate heartbreak. I almost melt for him.”
“The young master of the rich family is indeed too brilliant. Robert Lacy has performed a lot of inner drama, but he always feels that his power is not right. The young master only played for less than three minutes and easily created the role. To be honest, I can’t wait to see him step onto the battlefield!”
“What is the young master of the rich, his name is Eugene! Eugene! I have shouted many times in the TV series, OK, ignorant.”
“Does anyone know who the actor of the rich man’s young master is?”
……
Discussing, discussing, it seems that the building is starting to crooked.
