"What's missing?" Graham couldn't help repeating William's words, but he thought about it himself. Indeed, after watching the first episode of "the Pacific War", the familiar formula and taste didn't seem to be as enthusiastic as after watching "brothers company". So what is missing?
William frowned, unable to say why. "I don't know, but I always felt that there was a little chemistry missing." They are not professional film critics, just pure hot-blooded audience.
William and Graham looked at each other in silence. Before the broadcast, I was in a high mood, but at this time I suddenly got stuck in the air and felt embarrassed. "I don't mean I don't like it," William explained. "To tell you the truth, I think the show is still very wonderful. I still like it very much. It's a work created by Spielberg and Hanks, but..."
It's this "but", which makes people feel a little overwhelmed. Graham suddenly suggested, "why don't we go to the Yahoo community and IMDB to see the comments?" After communicating with you, maybe their questions can be answered.
"Good idea!" William regained his vitality. As a fanatic of "brothers company", he hoped that "Pacific War" could become the second classic more than anyone else.
So William ran back to the room like a tornado, followed by Graham, and the Taylor couple sitting in the living room had no time to respond. They just heard a messy step up the stairs, "Billy, what about the show? Do you look good? " Mrs. Taylor raised her voice, but there was no response. She looked at each other two times and then began to laugh helplessly.
When you quickly open the Yahoo community, the discussion post of the first episode of the "Pacific War" is the most popular one. Less than 10 minutes after the end of the show, the discussion post has more than 500 floors. It is estimated that a small number of fans participate in the discussion while watching the live broadcast.
As expected, the front floor of the post was just in the exclamation that the drama finally started broadcasting. It was not until after the 50th floor that people began to discuss the drama. William and Graham were obviously not the only two viewers who felt abnormal. In the post, many people expressed similar doubts and felt that the drama lacked some sparks; Among them, several radical fans yelled that the quality of the "Pacific War" was really terrible, and they were not at the same level as "brother company", which was rubbish.
Until 231, a long reply made William stop pulling the mouse down.
"There is no doubt that because of the existence of brother company, all audiences have great expectations for the Pacific War, but after watching it, it is inevitable that there will be a gap. I have a different point of view.
At the beginning, the first episode of "brother company" didn't make people clap their hands. The excellence of the drama came from the integrity and sublimation of the ten episodes of the whole drama. After watching the first episode again, the taste was different, so the impression of the first episode was sublimated. Now "the Pacific War" only broadcasts the first episode. It is obviously biased to judge the death penalty of the whole mini series by relying on the first episode.
The first episode of "the Pacific War" always makes people feel that there is something missing. In short, it is the core idea.
In "brothers company", each episode has a core idea, and even each episode has different protagonists and core characters, which makes the story line of the drama very concise, and the narrative rhythm and focus are highlighted; But when it comes to the Pacific War, the first episode lacks the cohesion of core ideas, which leads to the content being somewhat scattered and the rhythm being 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 of landing in Guadao; The third part is the thrill after the outbreak of the first encounter.
The focus of these three parts are different, especially when the three protagonists in the first part arrive at the last two parts, there is only one left, which leads the audience to wonder: is the story not complete? Moreover, the sublimation of the theme condensed in Robert Lecci 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 families entering the battlefield and the cruelty and blood after the war. The killing game before the end not only shocked Robert Lecci, but also shocked every audience in front of the TV. The distortion of human nature caused by the war is really chilling.
From this point of view, the drama still continues the quality of the previous work. Unfortunately, on the one hand, the technique of expression is superficial; on the other hand, the content of the first episode is relatively crowded, which leads to the character image is not full enough. It is really difficult for some strong people to quickly try to reach the goal in the first episode.
What "brothers company" is good at is that each episode shows different aspects of the war and examines all aspects of the battlefield from different perspectives. Each flesh and blood character is constructed together, forming a powerful shock of brothers company; Now it can be guessed that "Pacific War" is intended to focus on three characters - although this idea still needs to be proved by later dramas. The disadvantage is that it weakens the team spirit, and the advantage is that each character will become fuller and more vivid.
As far as I am concerned, I am full of expectations for the "Pacific War". If the "brothers company" shows the truth and cruelty of the war, can the "Pacific War" show the impact of the war on everyone? Otherwise, the description of the family seems superfluous. If it is successful, then the Pacific War is fully qualified to keep pace with the brotherhood company!
Therefore, it is too early to draw a conclusion on the merits of the series. " The outstanding performance of brothers company is impressive. The Pacific War is at least worth giving it some more time and opportunities. The ten episode miniseries are not too difficult, are they?
It is worth mentioning that among the three main characters currently on the stage, the most impressive one is not Robert Lecci who supports the main line of the first episode, nor John buslon, the war hero known to all Americans, but the young master of the rich family. Is there anyone like me?
At the moment when he appeared on the stage, the sunshine, time and time seemed to stop for him. The regret, anger, struggle, bitterness and desire left in his bright eyes easily outlined the role! I can't believe it. I'm looking forward to what will happen when he goes to the battlefield! Should not become cannon fodder? He seems to be one of the three main characters
This long reply triggered a heated discussion in the follow-up. Some agreed, some refuted, some scoffed, some swore, some analyzed rationally, some watched and ate melons, and some suddenly realized that the heated dispute was not lively.
However, there is one thing that most people agree with: This is a mini drama. You need to watch the trend of the following drama to make a comprehensive judgment.
Only a small number of fans think that the poor quality of the first episode has ruined the whole series, which is unforgivable for the brothers of such a divine drama as "brothers company". They even excitedly call on netizens to score for "Pacific War" on IMDB. However, judging from the current scoring trend of IMDB, few viewers are willing to respond to this call.
After reading this reply, William suddenly brightened up, "so it is!" His eyes brightened up again. "It's obvious that Spielberg's ambition is bigger this time, and they want to explore something deeper, because they can't repeat the" Brotherhood company ". In terms of comradeship, no work can surpass the" Brotherhood company ". So the first episode is just the beginning
William could not help but clench his fist, and his mood soared again. Due to the high expectations before, he was so urgent that he wanted the first episode to be so wonderful that it was suffocating. But in fact, it's impossible, because it's a mini play, not a movie. Even "brothers company", its wonderful and classic is made up of ten episodes.
"No wonder!" Graham also suddenly realized, "I said, when watching exciting, mixed, wonderful, but after watching it, I feel that there is something missing." Graham hit William with his shoulder and said excitedly, "the last scene was really good. I think it was even better than brothers company. It reminds me of winters shooting that single German soldier!"
"What impressed me most was the same as that netizen..." William took a look on the screen. His registered account was called "Brando Mania". It seems that he should be a Marlon Brando fan, "the young master of the rich family." Then William chuckled, "because he's the only unfortunate guy in the first episode. He didn't succeed in joining the army."
Graham couldn't help rolling his eyes. "As you say, what impresses me most is the girl Robert Lecci wanted to write to. She's so beautiful."
"You see, I'm not the only one who thinks so." William flipped through the post again and pulled Graham on.
"Brando is crazy, me too, and so am I. The young master of the rich family is really brilliant. His performance seems to have a natural aura, which makes people unable to move their eyes at all!"
"Doesn't anyone think that the young master of a rich family is really handsome? My God, he is riding a bicycle flying in the wind, but his eyes reveal the heartbreak of despair. I'm about to melt for him. "
"The young master of the rich family is really brilliant. Robert Leckie has a lot of inner drama performances, but he always feels that his strength is not right. The young master has been on the stage for less than three minutes, and he can easily shape the role. To be honest, I can't wait to see him go to the battlefield!"
"What is the young master of a rich family? His name is Eugene! Eugene! It's good to shout many times in the TV series, ignorance. "
"Does anyone know who is playing the role of the young master of the rich family?"
……
Discussion, discussion, it seems that began to tilt the building.
