Artistic effects such as artistic conception, setting off the atmosphere, and arousing associations also play a unique role in transforming time and space on the screen and adjusting the rhythm of the film.

What can be evaluated in a movie review can be based on the director's unique conception, sound and picture, the profound truth contained in the film, the film's contemporary significance, film and television music, film content, film lighting, film shooting skills, and the characters in the film, etc. You can make comments. During the comment process, you can put forward your own opinions based on the specific content of the film and the most shining aspects of the film in terms of conception, structure, technology, characters, etc., so as to further demonstrate.

To write a good film review, you should first watch the movie carefully, record the important characters, scenes, etc. in the film, and find out the highlights and novelties in the film. Whether a film review is attractive depends on whether it has a point of view that is different from others, and whether it writes content that others would never think of. It can be summed up in two words as "new" and "strange".

Common problems: going off topic, telling stories, covering everything, having no point of view, writing in a "tofu" style, putting the cart before the horse, common sense questions, and no details. Thought comments:

1. Comment on the topic. Strive to have unique insights and dig deeper. Most articles on "Autumn Harvest Uprising" believe that this film reflects the history of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, successfully portrays the image of Mao Zedong, combines Marxism-Leninism with Chinese revolutionary practice, takes the road of surrounding the city from the countryside, and finds the direction of struggle for the Chinese revolution. . Based on Lenin’s discussion of leaders and the Central Committee’s definition of Mao Zedong Thought, I realized that the film reflected Mao Zedong’s growth as an outstanding revolutionary leader in struggle, and also revealed the historical reasons and processes for the formation and development of Mao Zedong Thought. Comment from this new perspective (see "The Pearl of the Silver Sea").

2． Evaluate the practical significance. It is also related to the theme, but it focuses more on the role of reality. Reviews of realistic-themed films such as "Kong Fansen, I Tell You" focused on the integrity of party members and cadres and their love for the people. Reviews of "The Days Leaving Lei Feng" and "The Man with Capital Capital" focused on it. The positive significance of learning from Lei Feng in the new era. Comments on historical films must also take reality into account.

3. Write a review. It is necessary to connect with reality and integrate oneself, or to praise the advanced, criticize the backward, and criticize the shortcomings of the current situation; or to conduct self-reflection, find gaps, and motivate. Most of the film review articles written by primary and middle school students fall into this category. One thing to note is that it cannot be written as "story introduction and self-comparison", and the other is that it should be closely linked to the film, rather than extracting a topic from the film and leaving the review of the film. For example, "Through the Smoke of Sino-Japanese War", which commented on "The Sino-Japanese War", does not talk about "falling behind and being beaten" in general, but focuses on the political, economic, military and other aspects of the film, connects historical facts, combines world-famous naval battles, and compares and associates , issued an appeal against the current negative social trends. The review of "Nanjing Massacre" "City's Broken Thoughts" focuses on the word "city", deducting from "massacre", "paper city", "undefended city", "steel Great Wall" and "city of national defense". Tighten, let go, close.

Character comments

This is a more common comment style, which can be divided into single character comments, same type of character comments, and comparative comments of different characters. The four character reviews of "Carrying Dad to School" included in "The Pearl of the Silver Sea" each have their own characteristics. "Detailed Description and Magnificent Imagery" unfolds the comparative commentary between Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek. "Snow Lotus Rising in the Gunfire" grasps the personality characteristics of the image of Danzhu in "Red River Valley", and makes an in-depth analysis from the outside to the inside, layer by layer. When writing character reviews, it is best to strive not only to analyze the meaning of the character's image, but also to combine the methods of character creation to grasp the unique personality of the character, such as the character's unique behavior, actions, ideals, interests, and talents, and to dig deeper from it. The significance of the characters, such as "A Lonely Fire" in the review of "The Artillery Major", has changed from simply focusing on the passionate praise of heroes to incorporating more emotion and thinking about the fate of intellectuals in the new era.

Aesthetic Comments

1. Art Style Review. For example, "Where Does the Unlucky Laughter Come from" combines the comedy style to comment on the film "Party A and Party B"; "The Screen Surges the Documentary Tide" analyzes the reasons for the success of excellent documentaries from the aesthetic characteristics of documentaries; "Red River Valley: Heart-moving" "Visual Symphony" comments on the symphonic poetic structure of the film.

2． Art style review.

For example, "Poetic Battlefield Impressions" analyzes the different poetic connotations of several major battle scenes in the film "The Big Turning" and expresses the rich poetry in the way of splashing ink, giving people a heart-stirring audio-visual experience. . Regarding "Red Lover", which caused great controversy, "The Imagery Beauty of Poetic Movies" affirmed it from the perspective of film style and innovation.

3. Comments on Aesthetic Properties. "The Call for Family and Human Relations" starts from the aesthetic characteristics of contemporary tragedy, pointing out that contemporary tragedy focuses on exploring the complexity of human spiritual life and arousing people's appreciation of valuable things in life, such as family affection and human relations. The article "Why "Little Devil" Is Cute", a review of "Home Alone", combines the analysis of children's aesthetic psychology.

Movie characteristics

This type of review writing is highly professional, such as the language, structure, rhetoric, suspense, sound, color, music, photography, stunts, and performance of the film , director and other aspects of comments. Here are some examples:

1. Film language criticism. "Red Sorghum - The starting point and road to success for Chinese films to go global".

2. Comments on film structure. "Composite fusion and skillful weaving of warp and weft: the structural art of the Battle of Ping and Tianjin".

3. Film rhetoric review. Film rhetoric includes a variety of techniques, such as contrast, exaggeration, symbolism, personification, etc., such as "Appreciation of Symbolism in "The Creation of the World".

4. Film rhythm review. "The affectionate Rhythm Meizao talks about the rhythmic art of movies"

5. Review of movie suspense. "Discussing the Suspense Techniques of American Films with Repeated Suspenses and Gripping Times"

6. Movie sound review. "Copying Sound and Acoustics All Have the Sound of Love in Jujube"

7. Commentary on film color. "Why Zhang Yimou prefers red" "Strengthening "meaning" in "form"".

8. Comments on movie details. "The intriguing "secret account of collecting silver"" and "A string of shining necklaces".

9. Movie performance reviews. "The Charm of the Eye"

10. Film music review.

The above comment perspectives are not absolute, but interpenetrate, intersect, and are compatible with each other. The perspective of criticism can be complex, such as commenting on characters. In addition to the above-mentioned evaluation of a person, a type of person, or a comparative analysis of opposing characters, it can also be a comprehensive analysis of similar characters in several films or a certain type of film, or Comment on a certain creative tendency. For example, "Consciousness of Worry and Heroism" analyzes universal themes in American films; "Analysis of screen images of military personnel in the new era", "Why young actresses cannot stay forever", "Why do they all jump into the bathtub", "Why are ugly stars Topics such as "Becoming Popular" are selected based on the creative tendencies of certain types of films.

Movie reviews can be written in a variety of styles, generally essay style is the main one, but they can also be written in letters, dialogues, questions and answers, or notes. There is also prose style, which is mostly focused on expressing emotions, is light and lively, and has beautiful writing style. However, it generally lacks rigorous argumentation, has less logical power, and has a weak theoretical color. Various stylistic styles should be allowed to exist in the film review garden. Stick to "Movies" and "Reviews".

The content reviewed must be provided by the film and cannot be found in the instructions or newspaper stories.

To capture the characteristics of film art, the object of comment must have a sense of picture and movement. Let people who have never seen the movie gain a general understanding of the movie and agree with your point of view.

It is necessary to develop comments, clarify the center, and conduct rigorous reasoning and argumentation. It is important to avoid "stories plus reflections" or opinions without evidence.

Overall grasp and detailed breakthroughs.

First of all, have a correct overall evaluation of a film. On this basis, choose a smaller perspective to dig deeper, so as to gain a high-level perspective and appreciate the nuances. Avoid covering everything and copying what others say.

On the other hand, avoid blinding one leaf and missing the forest. Strive to write an in-depth monograph instead of general or casual essays. In order to gain timeliness and "hype", various newspapers and periodicals, including professional film newspapers and periodicals, publish mostly comprehensive evaluations compiled by journalists based on materials distributed by editors and directors, falling into the formula of "storyline, theme, artistic features, actor introduction, and filming behind-the-scenes."

The unity of ideology and artistry.

Comments that focus on social significance should pay attention to the artistry of the film, and use the screen image provided by the film to explain and demonstrate. A student wrote a film review of "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace". He just expressed his emotions about this historical event. The full text has nothing to do with the film. Strictly speaking, such an article is not a film review.

Comments focusing on artistic value must grasp the ideological connotation reflected in artistic expression.

Pay attention to the artistry of the review article itself.

Pay attention to thinking and literary talent.

Strive to have your own unique insights, strive to be novel and profound, and would rather have "profound one-sidedness, great prejudice, and creative misunderstanding" than convergence and say some "correct views" that everyone understands. Conceiving an idea is like a military strategist's strategy. "Seeing the sun and the moon does not make your eyes clear, and hearing the thunder does not make your ears clear."

Pay attention to the liveliness and vividness of the comment language, the appropriate length of the sentence structure, and the harmonious phonology. It must be both theoretical and clear, so that the theoretical article can give people a sense of language beauty and emotional power.

Comment perspective and theme: 1. The anti-Japanese struggle, exposing the crimes of the Japanese invaders, and praising the people’s unyielding spirit, broad mind, and noble humanity; 2. The value of life and the destiny of the nation; 3. The call for peace and harmony and society expectations for development; 4.

Suspense setting: The fate of the characters is the main line, and the characters are often at a critical moment of life and death, closely linked. Conflicts: 1. Progress and reaction, national liberation and fascist autocracy; 2. Eastern and Western concepts; 3. Clan. Narrative clues: three tenses. The present tense focuses on the contrast between war and peace, regulates emotions, deepens the theme, and gives the author a free narrative time and space; the past tense expresses conflicts and the main line of plot development; the past perfect tense focuses on the day of revelation. Kou sin. Plot and rhythm: the setting of the battle climax and lyrical passages; the ups and downs of tension and relief; the transition between fast and slow camera rhythms. Comparison of Chinese and foreign films: Compared with "Saving Private Ryan", both of them tell the story of saving lives and returning home in the form of memories, but "Yellow River" avoids the debate about why people are saved, avoids preaching, and accommodates more connotations; various Contradictions and conflicts; group portrait characters each have a distinct personality; the two clues of war and love are advanced, and it is more lyrical. Compare with "Red River Valley": the rationality of the conflict of civilizations; the narrative features strengthen the story; the characterization shows the development of the character in contrast, paying attention to the richness of the character. Many people think that just watch a movie, so what’s the point? On what? But in fact, when you write a movie review, you also allow yourself to look back at what you watched in this hour and a half? What did you get? No matter how bad the movie is, there are still staff who have worked hard to cultivate it. How do they look at it? No one wants to make a bad movie that everyone despises, so does the bad movie that everyone calls it have any merit? Are the producers, directors, and actors using different ideas to shoot it?

These, when you start to write movie reviews carefully, your thinking will become clearer and clearer, and the scope of your thoughts will become wider and wider. Not only can you experience more than others, but you can also share your experience with everyone.

In one movie review after another, you will find that your writing skills have improved, you can see more details when watching movies, and you can touch the depths of your soul. Then, you will It worked.

Of course, no one achieves success overnight (except for you who are a literary creator). When I look back at the article I wrote at the beginning, I also feel that my writing style is jerky and my vision is not deep enough. But in an article In another article, I found that I naturally started to talk at length. Of course, it was still not good enough

The best sentence is--"Profound one-sidedness, great prejudice, creative misunderstanding".

It is not necessary to write a film review in a regular manner. The positive, negative and side views are all very unique. Simplified to complex, complex to simple, every word is wonderful. Title

The title is the first shining point in any writing, and film reviews are no exception. The key to a good film review title is whether it can be used to convey the message the author wants to express in the film review. When writing a movie review after watching a movie, you must first find a good starting point. Of course, this starting point starts with the title. The title of the film review focuses on innovation and novelty, which plays a role in making others want to read on as soon as they see the title. In addition, the shorter the film review title, the better, 6-7 words is appropriate.

Beginning

Teachers who read college entrance examination Chinese compositions have a customary marking method, that is, question-beginning-(middle)-end. If a candidate writes the middle part well, It's good, but the beginning is very poor. In this way, the marking teacher will at most scan the middle content of the candidate, and some will not even read it. Therefore, the beginning is undoubtedly a very important part.

At the beginning of the film review, you can go straight to the point and introduce the highlight of the film you are about to write about, or directly write about the climax of the film to arouse the reader's interest; you can also use the "Six Arts of the Book of Songs" The "Xing" technique, that is, associate the content you want to express with something else that can represent you, such as the content; you can also first insert a famous quote from a famous film master, such as Bazin, Eisenstein, etc., so that you can Perfect for your movie review.

The middle

This part is the core content of the film review. In fact, writing a film review is to write an argumentative essay. Therefore, when writing a film review, we should pay attention to more analysis and less narrative. Focus on the content you want to express, lay out arguments, and deduce it layer by layer, but be careful not to go off topic, that is Say, everything you analyze in a film review must revolve around your center.

Ending

After we have completed the main content of the film review, we cannot end here. There should also be a resounding ending. At the end, we should first summarize the main content of the film review, and then we can express our own feelings and express our understanding of the entire film; we can also quote famous quotes and express our ambitions to give the film review a good ending.
