Watching movies and dramas every day, and sharing my experience with others about the gossip related to film and television works, is my favorite thing to do.
On November 25th, I happened to encounter the first activity of the film group, watched the "Sharp Blade Out of the Sheath" Knives Out, which had just been rated by Time Magazine as one of the top ten films of 2019, and then I faced more than 120 audiences and talked about the detective reasoning movie for about 40 minutes, and the audience seemed to listen to it with relish, anyway, I was still unfinished, and a good movie would bring people a strong desire to express and archaeology.
So last night I flipped through 2001's Gosford Park's "Goldsford Manor" with great interest, and saw that at two o'clock in the morning, Rian Johnson was indeed a big fan of director Robert Altman, and he made the best tribute to this senior in Knives Out.
Rian Johnson
The opening scenes of both films, like those, rise slowly from the ground and push unhurriedly towards a slightly old but still grand mansion not far away.

The difference is that Rian Johnson opens with two dogs galloping in, while Robert Altman sets a gloomy tone for the film with the reflection of the sewage on the ground after the rain and the blurred house in the water.
There's one more mistake I'd like to correct, as I said on November 25, the opening scene in Gosford Park is Goldsford Manor, which is wrong, it's the house of the Countess of Confance Trentham, played by Maggie Smith. Poverty does limit my imagination, because compared to Goldford Manor, you will find the Countess's home full of desolation.
In Gosford Park Maggie Smith plays Countess of Comfort Trentham
After watching "Sharp Blade Out of the Sheath" twice, with the invincible intuition of Gemini plus AB and the knowledge reserve and experience of the ashes-level detective and suspense film and television fans, I basically saw almost all of the various clues and pits that the director buried in the film without seeing director Rian Johnson. This is not a show-off, this is the pride that every detective drama fan will have, and the director and screenwriter fight wits and courage, which is the greatest pleasure of watching reasoning films.
Just talking to you about "Sharp Blade Out of the Sheath" without spoilers is really torturous. Let's give you a few tips:
First, before watching the movie, it is recommended that you can first watch Gosford Park's "Goldford Manor".
Because one of the essential elements of Agatha's detective films is the large number of characters, from "Murder on the Orient Express" to "Nile Massacre", each work has a dozen characters, Knives Out is no exception, and "Goldsford Manor" has reached a peak in the number of characters, more than thirty.
I also finally figured out all the character relationships last night after watching the whole article, but don't worry about watching the movie, as long as you find out the contradictions between the dead and the crowd, as well as the respective weaknesses of the main characters, the reasoning can start smoothly.
Second, remember that the most dangerous is often the safest, and the basic requirement of a qualified and good-looking reasoning film is that all clues related to the case must have been inadvertently displayed during the unfolding of the plot.
For example, In Gosford Park, the film has a small amount of information from the 7th minute, and the shot of the poison bottle and the dialogue between the characters have already opened up the ultimate mystery there.
I find all the directors of detective movies to be naughty, so is Robert Altman, and so is Rian Johnson. When I brushed "Sharp Blade Out of the Sheath" for the second time, I found that such an important prop, such an important character tip, was placed in front of us early with a big grin.
Don't miss every detail, every prop, every sentence of dialogue, but don't be intimidated by the many characters and the furnishings in the house. The directors designed various group scenes, occasionally paying special attention to each prop, in fact, to confuse us, so that we were always close, but we could not reach the truth.
You'll be wary of the coffee cups, the baseball, and the weird paintings hanging on the walls, but don't overlook some of the lines that seem superfluous, I can only help you get here.
It was because of Blade Out of the Sheath that I discovered that Robert Altman was a director who we had overlooked too much. In 2001, Gosford Park won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay that year, but the Best Picture and Best Director awards were lost, and the Oscars only gave Altman a lifetime achievement award.
As for Rian Johnson, who was born in 1973, he must be a veteran detective mystery. In addition to Robert Altman and Agatha Christie, I can also get a feel for early films like Sleuth's Footprints:
Clue:Quest for Murder:
Deathtrap Death Count:
Murder by Death《怪宴》：
And the influence of Hitchcock's films on him.
There must be a mockery of the nobility and class in British detective films. "Sharp Blade Out of the Sheath" covers a variety of political positions among the American people today, such as the granddaughter who is politically correct on the surface, and the daughter-in-law who supports immigrants who seem to be full of love, and the arrogant prejudice inherent in anti-immigrant white conservatives.
It doesn't matter what Rian Johnson's own political views are, but the more or less left or right political stance of each character in the play makes me think how hypocritical and annoying American-style political correctness is, and I think it is also the expression of Rian Johnson.
In terms of actors, "American Team" Chris Evans and "007" Daniel Craig are definitely the biggest selling points of "Sharp Blade Out of the Sheath", and the reaction of the audience the day before yesterday has proved that their respective post-Marvel and post-Bond film road is a smooth start, which seems simple but difficult, and only a good actor who is determined enough to complete such a turn can be completed.
The birthday of the US team Chris Evans is June 13th, I am June 12th, as a Gemini, I think he has the same heart, there are two little people who are always fighting. Back in 2014, he had considered that once the contract with Marvel arrived, he would spend more time trying out directing than acting.
In 2008, the film that earned Sean Penn an Oscar, Milk, in which the role of homosexual in Sean Penn's play ended up with two candidates, one was Chris Evans, the other was James Franco, and the final role was given to James Franco.
Chris Evans mentioned this passage very graciously, if sooner or later there is a character you are going to lose to someone, then lose to James Franco Flaran, I am convinced.
James Franco
After that, he acted in a series of Marvel movies, but it is difficult for the actor industry to have it both ways.
Robert Downey Jr. was once asked: Why play Iron Man?
He said half-jokingly and half-seriously: Because once I was drinking Coke and saw that the coke cup was printed with a picture of The Pirates of the Caribbean played by Johnny Depp, I thought it was so cool, oh, I also wanted my photo to be printed on the cup, so I acted.
I believe what he said, because popularity is the presence of our time. However, those who are printed on the cup are estimated to occasionally envy artists with profound characters, excellent reputations, and only being worshipped by a small minority.
Being handsome in Hollywood is both a hard truth and an obstacle. Chris Evans's acting skills and plasticity are wrapped up in layers of his appearance and the comic book characters he has played, so that I watched it twice before I finally recognized his joy, and behind his unparalleled audience popularity and his bright smile, the calmness, banter, patience and darkness in his eyes made me look forward to his future.
He's 81 years old, he's not young, and even staying in shape is starting to get tough for him, and I hope he can stay up and forget about his sexiness and handsomeness in the hearts of fans. And in Knives Out, he's already taken a good first step.
As for Daniel Craig, known as the ugliest "007" in history, that's what he said himself. Once the media calculated the answer according to the data of the five facial features of the previous "007" and compared it with the ancient Greek standard for beauty, Sean Connery was the most handsome "007", and Daniel Craig ranked last. The problem is that today, in 2019, he just grew up on people's aesthetics, the facial features are not important, and the fan is the most important.
“007”之后，Daniel Craig曾经说：Sean Connery obviously defined the part and even he struggled for a while to get rid of the mantle. That’s the pitfall and it could happen to me.
On the 26th, the film side gave me several free tickets for "Sharp Blade Out of the Sheath". I'm going to go back to the three brushes after the show, because I always fantasize that if I were the murderer, I would be able to get away with it, and finally defeat Daniel Craig or any other detective and commit that perfect murder.
It's not my inner evil, it's the ultimate charm of detective suspense.
