Chapter 494 The Craze of "Witness for the Prosecution"!
If "Manchester by the Sea" is of average quality, then "Witness for the Prosecution" would not have such high expectations. However, the former is an art film of extremely high quality, which makes the latter extremely popular.
And there is another point worth mentioning, that is, suspense crime movies have a much higher audience than art films!
Whether it's the script, direction or individual performance, it's almost impeccable.
The witty lines and brilliant court arguments in the movie are equally wonderful.
Even if you guess the final result before the ending, it will not make the movie any less exciting!
It is definitely a movie that fans will be hooked after watching!
This is in sharp contrast to "Manchester by the Sea".
…
On New Year's Day, "Witness for the Prosecution" is officially released in Kyushu!
As the biggest winner of the Washington Film Festival, it has set off a wave of movie-watching craze not only in Xiazhou, but also in other states. After all, in this world that attaches great importance to entertainment and art, you have to go and see whether this movie is good or not. Not worthy of its name.
In Xiazhou, the box office momentum of "Witness for the Prosecution" is unprecedented in Ye Zhiyuan's career!
More and more movie fans are entering the theater to watch this super masterpiece that has left its name in the history of movies in its previous life!
But after two hours, the movie only gave them shock!
"It's so exciting! Not only is the plot reversal, I've never had goosebumps before watching the court debate! The narrative is laid out patiently, with sparks flying between the characters and opponents, and the wit and sharpness of the lines! It can be said that A classic in courtroom drama!”
"The script's exquisite plot, the actors' wonderful performances, the wonderful and ingenious plot advancement, the humorous and interesting details, and of course the ingenious ending. No wonder this movie can beat "Manchester by the Sea", it is really awesome."
"A masterpiece of a masterpiece! Ye Zhiyuan has finally stepped into this field, but Lin Qiu really has no secrets. Such an excellent script was filmed by Ye Zhiyuan when he was told to do it."
"As a suspense film enthusiast, I can roughly guess the direction of the story. However, the ending can be reversed four times in just five minutes. It is really amazing. The dialogue and lines are so awesome, as dense as bullets. The lines brought up the ups and downs, making the process more thrilling than the result.”
"The script, lines, shots, performances, and rhythm are all master-level. I think we have always underestimated Ye Zhiyuan's level."
"Everyone has forgotten that before Lin Qiu was born, Ye Zhiyuan was the most talented young director in Xiazhou!"
Regarding "Witness for the Prosecution", ninety-nine out of one hundred movie fans praised it and were amazed!
The public is more willing to believe a dissolute bitch speaking than a virtuous wife testifying for her husband.
No matter how top-notch a lawyer is, he cannot escape his control over human nature!
The rhythm of the overall movie is divided into three parts, a 40-minute character display and case introduction, an hour of courtroom verbal battles, and a 10-minute reversal. It is a classic suspense film structure, but the plot of "Prosecution Witness" is more It is extremely compact, especially the intense court defense scene, which fully meets all the expectations of movie fans for court defense.
And the most frightening thing is that the heroine didn’t even commit perjury!
At the end of the film, the concept of the entire film is heightened, especially when the old lawyer knows that the woman has been deceived, kills someone in a rage, and decides to give up his vacation to defend her.
"The judiciary may be deceived, but it will always protect the good." This humanistic argument is much more positive than Lin Qiu's extremely sad argument, and it also makes the movie full of drama.
As soon as "Witness for the Prosecution" was released, all the previous expectations turned into shock!
The super rating of 9.8 on the Movie software directly tied the highest rating record for Lin Qiu's works. For a time, Ye Zhiyuan's discussion in Xiazhou surged!
It can be said that as long as Ye Zhiyuan wants to, he can make money in the entertainment industry with this "Witness for the Prosecution", but Ye Zhiyuan is not like this.
In addition to participating in the movie's promotional activities and exclusive interviews, just like Lin Qiu, she tried her best not to participate in other invitations.
Preparing for a movie himself, work time takes up most of Ye Zhiyuan's life. Ye Zhiyuan hopes that like his role model Lin Qiu, he will have more time to improve himself and prepare for new movies.
Nowadays, at least in the field of movies, no film and television company can compete with Changan.
There is also a superhero movie "The Incredible Hulk" that is destined to be a big hit. The entire Xiazhou film circle can be said to have arrived in the Chang'an era!
…
"Witness for the Prosecution" was released for nine days, and its box office exceeded that of "Manchester by the Sea" which has not yet been released in the same period.
In addition to the differences in content, theme, audience, and viewing experience between the two movies, another point is that "Witness for the Prosecution" is a movie that can make movie fans watch it second or third time.
But "Manchester by the Sea" has too much staying power. Watching it once is enough, why not watch it a second time?
As more and more cases of "Witness for the Prosecution" are repeated twice and three times, there are more and more discussions about the details in the movie.
First, why did this scumbag not come to the old lawyer on his own, but was introduced by another junior lawyer?
From this moment on, the scumbag brother began to prepare for deception, and he was the deepest blade in the city.
In this way, the trust of the veteran lawyer can be increased.
And then the scene where a beautiful woman was molested created the role of a scumbag.
Seeing the beauty being molested, the scumbag did not rush up at the first time, but hid calmly, waiting for the noisy crowd to disperse, and then returned to the chaotic scene to comfort and care.
Also, when he went to the old lawyer's house for the first time, the scumbag started smoking as soon as he entered the door.
This is because the scumbag who is scheming and deliberate knows the old lawyer's preferences and arouses the old lawyer's addiction to smoking, so as to have more opportunities to get close to the old lawyer. You know, between men, a cigarette can become friends.
This is just the characterization of the scumbag brother!
It is precisely because of so many details that the characters are so three-dimensional, which makes the fans completely involved.
And after the movie ended, there were still questions in the minds of the fans.
Did the wife know that Leonard was dating the lady at the beginning, and did she participate in the planning of the murder?
And who planned this scam in which the wife was a witness for the prosecution?
A suspense crime film can have so many discussions and interpretations, which is enough to show that this film is successful.
Whether it is the honors from the film festival or the actual box office results, it is enough to prove that this is a film that can enter the sequence of masterpieces!
