Black sails has many backgrounds, which is said to fill the blank at the end of the trilogy Spartacus.
Fans who have seen Alice know that this classic historical drama has brought violence and pornography to the extreme.
The producer of black sails is michael bay, who directed the series Armageddon, Escape from Clone Island and Transformers. He loves sci-fi themes, likes explosion scenes and gorgeous special effects, and is called "the king of explosion".
Surprisingly, black sails did not indulge in violence and sex, nor did he fall into indiscriminate bombing, but showed a rare calm and eloquent temperament.
The title of black sails is the punk sculpture of Chris Cox. White stone and black metal, fierce collision and ingenious balance.
"black sails" embodies the unique style of clever mix and match. American film critics even used "delicacy" and "boldness" to describe this pirated film.
The costumes of the characters in the play basically restore the style of the Caribbean colonial period, and classic lines emerge one after another, which even makes people feel more like an English drama.
It is true that as a pirate film, in the fierce naval battle, beautiful women throw themselves at each other and roll sheets with knives, which are indispensable.
What is commendable is that black sails did not abuse these elements, but chose to use poetic brushwork to express blood and fire, showing delicate roughness and delicate ferocity.
Black sails, as a prequel to the classic masterpiece Treasure Island by British novelist robert louis stevenson, shows the power struggle of the pirate kingdom with the clue of the gold battle on the Spanish treasure ship.
The plot mainly unfolds in Nassau, which is a paradise for pirates, full of prostitutes, thieves, pirates, smugglers and so on. The whole play seems to unfold a vast picture of pirates of the Caribbean in the18th century for the audience.
After putting all kinds of people in place in the first season, the plots in the second and third seasons have been dazzling and reversed multiple times.
These dramatic plots are ups and downs, reasonable and endless. What the audience can do is to open their mouths in surprise and applaud the screenwriter.
In order to avoid spoilers, I won't start the plot here, just to say responsibly that black sails's strong drama is very rare.
What is even more surprising is that black sails is not only obsessed with the dramatic tension of the plot, but his political plot is as close as House of Cards, and his analysis of the dark side of human nature is as close as The Walking Dead.
Is a movie, or a novel, to tell a good story or to create some characters?
This is an eternal contradiction in art.
And the similarity of every excellent film is trying to strike a balance between the two-I have to say, black sails is very eye-catching in this respect.
The whole drama has successfully created many distinctive images, both positive and evil:
Captain Flint, smart and brave, Seaver, the former Captain Wayne of America, the wily Governor Rogers ... Are they good people or bad people? What you did was right or wrong. Every audience will have their own interpretation.
As the famous captain Cook commented in history:
"For some people, he is a hero; To others, he is the devil. " A hero to some people, a villain to others.
Black sails is full of this proposition to explore the origin of human nature.
For example, Captain Flint, the protagonist, lost his rights, blamed himself for the death of his lover and felt guilty for the death of his subordinates, which made him see the dark side of human nature. He broke free desperately, kept falling into it and struggled painfully.
In Lawrence of Arabia, the faces of nobility and meanness, ideals and power are also full of torture of the good and evil of human nature.
Jia once said:
"Mr. Lu Xun's darkness illuminates my darkness."
Because there is more darkness, there will be more light.
When I see black sails, I often think of an interesting question. Why on earth do we like pirates so much?
What's so cute about those dirty booze boosters?
We envy them for having meat in their bowls, wine in their cups, guns at their waists and girls in their arms.
I don't think so-at least not entirely.
Do these reckless guys really deserve our love?
In black sails, when the British navy attacked Nassau on a large scale, it granted amnesty to pirates. As long as they are willing to give up their pirate status, they will let bygones be bygones.
Pirates can be Tian She Weng all their lives and rest in the forest with peace of mind-this is a famous pirate amnesty in history.
However, many pirates did not bow their heads. Almost instinctively, they fought back, let them be at ease, risked being killed and hanged, and stubbornly defended their freedom to be pirates-in real history, many pirates also chose this way.
So I realized that we like pirates because of their reckless obsession.
Because they don't worry about the house and car, the promotion and salary increase, and they don't care about the words "two cows in one acre and three places, and their wives and children are hot". If they care about this, they are no longer real pirates.
Although everyone is whispering:
"Can you be realistic?"
"Can't you be like everyone else?"
They still go their own way and do what they want.
They may not know what ideals, beliefs and freedom are at all, but there will always be some kind of obsession in their hearts.
It is this little obsession that makes ordinary people from generation to generation willing to praise and preach their stories.
This freedom to refuse; The freedom we yearn for in our hearts can't and can't be realized in real life.
Perhaps this is the greatest charm of pirated movies.
What's the matter? Do you like it?
