"Have you heard of Rwanda?"

This is the ending of Roger's entire review. It feels a bit abruptly, but it forms a contrast with the title of the review. "Lancelot-Straello's Crime Trilogy - Have you heard of Catholic priests/sexual/aggression of underage children?"

The sleek words fully demonstrated Roger's inner excitement and excitement, especially when he was the first to formally propose the concept of "crime trilogy", connecting the three works of Lance, showing Lance's ambitions and the magnificence of the entire story structure.

This also truly separated Lance from the ranks of "new directors" and became a backbone director with his own appeal; it also proved that Lance is not just a potential rookie, his talent was recognized through the crime trilogy, which really gave him a place in Hollywood.

Why is Roger's recognition of the "Crime Trilogy" so important? It can be said that this is an affirmation given from an artistic level.

The narrow concept of "trilogy" comes from ancient Greece, which originally refers to three tragedies with coherent plots. Why do people have a special liking for the number three? In fact, this comes from psychology. At that time, in Greece, the symbol representing three was "iii", rather than the Arabic numeral "3", which is commonly used now. In Pythagoras's eyes, "iii" is a harmonious number; Aristotle believed that "iii" has a head, a tail and a middle, representing completeness; in Christianity, the holiness of the Trinity of the Holy Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit also comes from this; in Eastern culture, "one birth, two, two birth, three births, and three births all things", after being spoken out loudly by Lao Tzu, became the source of understanding and interpretation by countless scholars.

Therefore, the trilogy has always had special significance in the field of art.

However, when the "Trilogy" entered Hollywood, it was given more commercial significance, such as the "Star Wars" series, the "Matrix" series, the "Raider of the Lost Ark" series, the "Lord of the Rings" series, the "Godfather" series, etc., all of which were set as trilogies. But in fact, these trilogies are not artistic, but more of a work that continuates the plot. Strictly speaking, they can only be called three sequels.

The trilogy that reaches the artistic height is more about works that "the contents of the works are individual but interconnected, and are also produced by the same director." In such trilogy, the director's personal style and ideological height are often injected into it, and it is also displayed through different stories and contents. It seems to be unrelated, but it can arouse similar resonance, truly transforming the film work into an art form.

Giuseppe Tonadore's return trilogy, "Paradise Cinema", "Sea Pianist", "Beautiful Legend of Sicily"; Sergio Leone's Detachment Trilogy, "Red Dead Redemption", "Double Dusk", "Golden Three Detachment Trilogy"; Woody Allen's London Trilogy, "Scoop", "The Last Score", "Karsandra's Dream"; Krzysztof-kieslowski's Blue, White, and Red Trilogy, "Blue", "White", "Red"; Stanley Kubrick's Future Trilogy, "Doctor Strange Love", "2001 Space Odyssey", "Clockwork Orange"...

These works are all masterpieces that can be recorded in history, and they are trilogies in the artistic sense. Directors who can create trilogies often mean that their artistic ideas are relatively mature. They can not only coordinate and plan the three works from a higher level, but also maintain a relatively stable level for a long time to complete three different works. Therefore, this requires a very high level of artistic literacy, and it is naturally more difficult to be recognized.

Now, Roger agrees with the crime trilogy created by Lance, which is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough.

What is even more commendable is that this commentary of Roger gave the "City of Sin" an incredible full score of 100, and there was also a four-star full-star recommendation, which pushed the "City of Sin" to the peak of praise with a full-scale attitude. This is also Roger once again gave the highest evaluation to Lance's works.

In the current crime trilogy, Roger scored 100, 88, and 100 points, and there were four-star, four-star and four-star recommendations. There was no need to say anything, and Roger's super high praise for Lance. When "City of God" emerged, Roger solemnly recommended this new director to everyone. It's only three years now that Roger has pushed Lance to the throne of a genius director.

It's not just Roger, but Kirk Hanicart of "Movie Review" also expressed the same view.

"Stralo's crime trilogy reminds me of the trilogy of sadness and joy of Russian director Elidar-ryazanov, "Teaching of Fate", "Office Story", "Station of Two People". Through funny scenes and plot changes that are strange, Ryazanov lets people see the melancholy nature of life behind comedy, making people laugh with tears. Under the relaxed and ridiculous surface narrative, there is a sense of embarrassing reality.

And Strello, through the original restlessness, naked violence, real plots, and vivid characters, let people deeply feel the cruel nature of social reality. After the refreshing viewing, you can often feel the trembling and reflection deep into the soul. Hidden behind the gorgeous colors and psychedelic lights, presenting a nearly terrible reality, as if the skin can feel the fear of the collision between cold and heat."

Kirk compares Lance to Elidal, which is undoubtedly a flattering praise. In Russia, Elidal is nicknamed "the person every dog ​​knows" and is a truly respectable film master.

"Stralo's lenses are always full of hints and metaphors, wandering between reality and illusion, especially the use of the picture and the excavation of the characters, showing wisdom and sharpness that are inconsistent with age. The primitive restlessness of the "City of God", the calm and restrained "killing with a knife", and the wanton and wildness of the "City of Sin" are amazing.

Among those authoritative movie lists, some movies were highlighted because of the special background at that time, some movies became classics because of their creation of a new genre, and some movies were highly sought after because of their political significance. The crime trilogy dedicated by Strello, no matter from any angle, can be regarded as a classic work that has been recorded in history - is Strello's works perfect? ​​Obviously not, but the core he injected into his works and the style he embodies is enough to win all the applause.

It is hard to imagine that the new director is only thirty-two years old, and he has only filmed four movies so far."

From Roger to Kirk, they all gave the highest praise to Lance's crime trilogy, and their excitement and excitement can be felt between the lines. This is the highest treatment beyond imagination for any director, which also marks that Lance has truly gained a foothold in Hollywood and created a world as a director.

All this was something that Reims had not expected, and people had not expected - who would have thought that a cult-style commercial film like "City of Sin" actually forged Lance's industry status. However, no one expected that "pulp novels" would have made Quentin's emergence. This is Hollywood, this is art.

Kirk also wrote a comment specifically for "City of Sin" in "Movie Review". His focus continued his problems at the premiere and gave a detailed analysis of the use of colors.

"There are four types of changes in the color of the blood alone, colorless, fluorescent white, red, and mustard yellow in the movie; and the form and dosage of each blood appear are different, and different changes are made according to the scene, the situation, and the status of the characters. Each color hides different meanings, and the most direct one is the level of pain. Strello used a lot of colors to express the emotions of the characters. This was not only a bold attempt, but also applied the language of the movie to the extreme.

In the ‘City of God’, Strello uses motion-based lenses and fragmented editing to convey the changes in emotions; in the ‘Killing with a knife’, Strello uses changes in lighting levels and strength to show the ups and downs of emotions; in the ‘City of Sin’, Strello uses color language to express emotions.

Every lens is worth savoring, every lens is full of profound meaning, and every lens is carefully composed. Strallo once again showed us his talent and talent.

At the end of the movie, the killer handed out a cigarette and the picture came to an abrupt end.

The picture that came to my mind at this time was not whether the killer would pull the trigger, but what choice would he make when he was in a city of sin? Hidden behind the killer's compassionate eyes was a cold and cold heart, which reminded me of the ending of "killing with a knife" - at that time, the ruthless professional killer was crushed by fatigue and fatigue, and chose to give up with a sigh; now, the cold-blooded and cruel professional killer showed a charming smile and handed out a cigarette.

Is this progress or a regression?”

At the end of this comment, Kirk wrote, "Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Unbelievable!" He used three consecutive same words to express his inner excitement and shock; at the same time, he also gave a full score of 100, expressing his supportive position.

In fact, this is not the first time that "movie review" has given Lance a hundred points in his works, and Kirk's evaluation of the crime trilogy is exactly one hundred points. "This is three works that keep pace with the times, three works that go deep into the soul, and three works that have been recorded in history."

From Roger to Kirk, from "Chicago Sun" to "Movie Review", this is just the tip of the iceberg after the premiere of "Sin City" and a huge frenzy of discussion has just begun.
Chapter completed!
