剧情介绍

  In the time of Counter-Reformation, a miller and his son come under investigation by a priest of the Inquisition, when rumors spread that their prosperity comes from working with the Devil.
  The Devil's Trap is a film directed by František Vlá?il, based on a novel by Alfréd Technik, adapted by František A. Dvorák and Miloš Kratochvíl. It was the first of three historical dramas that Vlá?il made during the Czech New Wave (technically he isn't really a part of the New Wave, however these films were made during the same era of artistic freedom), preceding his more well known Marketa Lazarová (1967) and Valley of the Bees (1968).
  Set in the late 16th Century during the Catholic Reformation, in the Moravian Karst, situated in what is now the Eastern Czech Republic, it tells the tale of a miller (Vítezslav Vejrazka), and his son Jan (Vít Olmer), who come under suspicion and are investigated by a Jesuit priest of the Inquisition (Miroslav Macháchek), when rumors of witchcraft are spread by the local regent (Cestmír Randa), who is jealous of the miller's prosperity and degree of respect among the local populace.
  As expected from Vlá?il, this film is a stunning experience all the way through. From the opening shot, an ominous manipulation of perspective with a close up of a mangled figure of Christ dominating the foreground against a tiny figure in black walking along the horizon, to the breathtaking confrontational finale inside the vast stalactite filled Karst caverns, it is a wonderful display of visual mastery.
  Maybe not quite as impressive as Marketa Lazarová, but still full of astonishing imagery. As seen from unique angles and distinct points of view which highlight the director's remarkable sense of awareness of framing, motion, and positioning on the emotional and dramatic tone of the scene. The most memorable being a repeated shot where the camera is suspended and launched with speed through the air towards the miller's door.
  The story here is a simple one and I would say more accessible than his later works. With a conventional structure emphasized as much by its plot and characters, than by its expressionistic cinematography or authentic historical detail. The events play out without much surprise, and there is a strong underlying, almost supernatural, mysterious aspect that is left unresolved, in fact barely explored, which is slightly disappointing, but only because it's so fascinating that I wish there was more.
  Acting is great all around. Particularly the villains: Miroslav Macháchek as the priest, casting a sinister and imposing shadow wherever he goes, and Cestmír Randa as the weasel like regent behind all the persecution. While Vít Olmer brings a charismatic leading man presence in his role as the miller's son Jan, in love with the lovely orphan girl Martina (Karla Chadimová), who becomes a dangerous object of rivalry between Jan and other young men of the village.
  The film also features the evocative music of Zden?k Liška (perhaps the most prolific composer of the Czech New Wave). In this his second of eleven collaborations with Vlá?il, his compositions are used sparingly, but to great effect, complimenting but never overpowering a scene. The best example of which can be heard in an amazingly shot celebration and dance sequence at the end of the second act.
  The Devil's Trap might not be a masterpiece, but it is still a strong effort, with a fascinating straightforward story and a glorious historical setting captured beautifully by Vlá?il's unmistakable visual prowess. A fine work that would also be the perfect starter plate to prepare yourself for the challenging feast of Marketa Lazarová or The Valley of the Bees. It even has an easy to digest running time. It's therefore puzzling why this gem remains largely overlooked and ignored.

    然后作为超英起源电影也是不合格的,“不要躲避自己的过去”,可我看了半天也没觉得男主有多纠结,整天嘻嘻哈哈没心没肺的,上班摸鱼兜风,下班会餐唠嗑,夜生活还要去ktv唱加州旅馆,属实究极咸鱼一条😅。

    国内华人的观感,顶多给三星。倒不是有辱,纯粹因为比较尬,共情力也有些弱。看在创作者诚意的份上,多给点鼓励。作为一部漫威英雄起源电影,勉强也可以打四星吧。

    几乎是当下好莱坞对于东方(动作)电影最尊重的表达,其出发点几乎等同于《黑豹》对于黑人群体(当然东方观众的态度和立场反而成为值得讨论的另一个话题),对于华语电影更是一种效仿的样板(如何说故事、如何建立丰富的世界设定、如何通过角色设定营造娱乐化效果),除去梁朝伟,周采芹的外婆形象反而更加令人印象深刻。

  • 太叔春翠 8小时前 :

    虽然不完美,但拍的带劲,拍的美,还是要给五星。这电影简直舔着中国人拍的。说辱华的歇歇吧,民族情绪过剩的建议996,007多加加班,多生孩子给国家多做实际的贡献,不比叽叽歪歪在这嘴炮强多了。

    用脚写脚本,但文武的角色确实挺立体。梁朝伟粤语>英语>国语,陈法拉依然很美但演技还是白开水,男主也没好多少。65

    渣枪版不好打分,大片观感靠视听嘛。最后怪物大战镜头和动作挺精彩,若视效能比《哥斯拉2》我观感应该超4否则最多3.5。极中规中矩,编剧完全没加过班似的:这个场景是干嘛的就是干嘛的,一点什么交叉叙事横生枝节都不会有。好比最后父子局,就父子局,当爹的一点“把儿子挥开、自己去凿一下墙”的心思都没有,那我请问你来黑暗之门干嘛来了,就为了打儿子?你不是来救老婆的吗?各位功夫片迷还记得《功夫》里你打我我打钟、打成喇叭给你送终的桥段吗。不过漫威啊超雄啊也就这德行了。PC还未充分惠及亚裔,主流未深刻反思过亚裔刻板印象,加上些小原因,本属好心的片子反汇集了刻板印象:黑帮赌场眯眯眼会功夫,只有外男亚女(大家习惯了,外女亚男反而突兀,可能是这种求稳的考虑?)祭祖卡拉OK身份迷茫非属刻板印象。选角专挑那种长相,我神服

  • 信星津 8小时前 :

    反派洗白不能说完全不合理,一个全新人物,谈辱华也毫无关系,争议给这部片子加了看点,场外比电影本身更有趣,该拍个纪录片。动作设计还是OK的,现代冷兵器对拼总觉得怪怪的
