zhu' Movie Review: Vantage Point (2008), American Political Action Thriller Movie

in #aaa5 years ago

This movie is a suspense thriller-type film by well-known director Pete Travis in 2008. The film creates a big Hollywood-style commercial movie at a non-expensive cost. The film director cleverly uses non-linear narratives. The shooting skills built an amazing assassination framework. Under the premise of satisfying market demand and audience preferences, the movie made bold innovations and attempts. The interesting lens language made the film a typical small-scale and well-made commercial type movie. The director made a big change in the structure of the script, disassembling the simple linear narrative into the detailed backtracking of multiple fragments. It makes the whole film with a natural sense of participation and peeping. The full use of flashback techniques, repeated playback of the details of the assassination plot, and each backtracking details have become the fuse of the script conflict.

Because of this, there is not much resentment in the seemingly lengthy story shooting that makes people feel tired and tired. It can be said that this movie has this suspenseful thriller type with excellent narrative and drama structure. The dramatic tension and contradictions and conflicts have been brought to the extreme, and the film has shown a strong sense of reality. On the other hand, the fascination of the story is attributed to the creator's reasonable control over the overall rhythm of the film. In terms of lens scheduling, the film uses more close-up and medium-close shots, which perfectly creates a role between the character and the suspect. The threaded connection guides the audience to actively think about the change of the plot. This kind of substitution experience makes the director Pete Travis arbitrarily interspersed in the story one after another.

The contrast between the character and the identity of some characters has, to a certain extent, shapes the surprise and shock of the first rise and fall. The director alternates with the presidential bodyguard through the DV perspective of ordinary passers-by to drive the story rhythm of the whole movie, supplemented by the sound of the old way and the push and pull of the lens, which makes the whole simple story become exquisite. For the film itself, the overall special form framework supports the visibility of the film storyline, and the director's clever setting and scheduling of Howard Lewis makes the play itself a bit more human. I have to say that Howard Lewis, with his sophisticated and steady acting skills, has made a seemingly onlooker figure sway into it, with flesh and blood.

The protagonist’s performance made the whole character not only play a role in assisting and promoting the development of the plot, but also injecting a warm and emotional atmosphere into the film in terms of its internal characters. Although the space for suspense thrillers is not very large, Howard Lewis is still the biggest helper outside the main line of the film, which is the result of the multi-layered emotions of the small person in the big event, which is intertwined with powerlessness, firmness, courage and kindness. To a large extent, it can be said that this movie has made a good demonstration of a low-cost commercial type film. This movie is more inclined to rely on the script, relying on excellent editing and flashback to guide the audience's emotions.
