How to write a good film review

How to write a model essay on film criticism.

Film is a continuous video picture developed by the combination of mobile photography and slide show. It is a visual and auditory modern art, and it is also a synthesis of modern technology and art that can accommodate tragicomedy, literature and drama, photography, painting, music, dance, writing, sculpture, architecture and other arts. However, it has its own characteristics. In terms of artistic expression, movies not only have the characteristics of other arts, but also can be copied and shown in large quantities because of montage, an artistic skill of film assembly, so it has a means of expression beyond all other arts. With the development of modern society, movies have penetrated into all aspects of human social life and are an indispensable part of people. Feedback is a more specific and in-depth appreciation of movies, but writing it is a headache for most people. The following is how to write a good summary for everyone, with a model essay. I hope it helps you. Thank you for reading.

How to write film reviews? How can I write well? In recent years, I have gradually explored a set of effective methods in guiding students to "cross the river by feeling the stones" to write reflections.

First, gather the "eyes" to meet the gods, and the impressions resonate.

To write a film review, you must first "watch" the film. Maybe some people will laugh: as long as they are not blind and deaf, who won't watch movies? But why do many people leave no impression after watching the movie? Let alone write about your feelings. Therefore, remind students to be "involved" when watching movies, immerse themselves in the emotional world created by movies, and share joys and sorrows with the protagonist. At the same time, we should also use the senses of eyes, ears and brain and pay attention to details. The so-called detail is a detailed description of the local or subtle changes of the objects in the movie screen. Details include gestures, smiles, use of props, color scheduling, sound changes and so on. Typical details play an active role in displaying characters' personalities, setting suspense and promoting plot development. For example, in the great turning point, Jiang xx's back appeared three times, each time indicating the next failure of the national government forces. Through the following three descriptions, it vividly reflects the decline of Jiang xx regime in Xishan. The process of audience watching movies is actually a process of audio-visual enjoyment, which is not only a process of gradual accumulation of visual beauty, but also a process of deepening emotional stimulation. Only when we gather our eyes together can we get richer and stronger feelings when watching, and the understanding of the connotation of the film will be deeper and more thorough, and the feelings written will be more basic.

When writing film reviews, we should start from our own viewing experience. However, many students began to write their own reflections, and often wrote the content of "Guan" very long. They always like to introduce the story from beginning to end, for fear that readers don't know its content, but they rarely publish the word "Guan". I emphasize that students should focus on "feeling". From the text, the content of "feeling" accounts for about five or six times of the main content of the film. In this paper, the content of the film is quoted appropriately to serve the senses. So as long as you quote the movie content in a few words, don't elaborate, let alone elaborate.

If you want to write a good summary, you should combine the reality, give full play and write your own "feelings" deeply and thoroughly. Reality here refers not only to self-reality, but also to other people's reality and social reality. The movie Hero enhances people's viewing mood with the harmonious combination of music and plot, and clearly explains three different stories with three colors of red, yellow and blue. The combination of timbre makes the visual viewing effect of Hero reach a new height in China's martial arts movies. But after watching Hero, the students thought it was impossible to connect with reality. I inspire students like this: So who is the real hero in this movie? In order to kill the king of Qin, you can sacrifice your life in the snow; Or for the unity of the country and the people, give up the remnant sword and namelessness of revenge; Or for the great cause, I obviously don't have the heart to kill the unknown king of Qin; Or is everyone a hero, because the characteristics of heroes are reflected in them? Then, I ask the students to compare and see if there are any unsung heroes different from Qin Wang in today's society. What should we think of these heroes? In this way, the students immediately thought of all kinds of heroic behaviors in today's society and the world trend that is not peaceful now. The students speak freely as if they have something to write soon. Later, Xiao Ge and Xiao Lu's comments on Hero were published in New Horizon Composition. Now my little brother has gone to a famous university and studied in the journalism department. Perhaps it was the original encouragement that inspired her to become attached to writing!

Guiding students to "resonate" with their own impressions and writing good reviews with practice can not only improve students' writing ability and cognitive ability, but also help students educate themselves, which is much better than teachers' serious preaching.

Second, the winding path leads to a secluded place, and the excavation should be deep.

From the perspective of writing training, the feeling of reviewing belongs to the category of critical argumentative writing. The feeling of film criticism is to comment on movies and express your feelings and opinions. Different from film criticism: film criticism focuses on "evaluation". After digging out the theme, we should evaluate and discuss whether the theme is successful, whether the environment in which the theme is expressed is real, whether the characterization conforms to real life and whether the film language is successful. A sense of reflection-mainly based on "feeling", mainly expressed in lyric and narrative, and the content is mostly the inspiration of the film to the audience and the feelings of the audience after watching the movie.

There are many angles that can be felt in movies. As far as a film is concerned, we can start with the theme, characters, details, scenes, language and so on. As far as many movies are concerned, some pay attention to the ideological content, some pay attention to the form of expression, and some intercept a scene or an event of the movie. The choice of "feeling point" has its own characteristics, which can be used for reference.

When writing a film review, you should choose a good angle. A few hundred words of comments are not big, but a movie involves a lot of content. Don't cover everything. You must choose a good angle and focus on one side. This is called "small mouth, deep digging". On the one hand, the choice of angle depends on the characteristics of the film itself, on the other hand, it also depends on what you feel most. Choosing a good angle has a direct chain reaction to conception, material selection, conception and writing, which is conducive to writing a good summary.

For example, the film Girl Mu Ran describes a short, bumpy and meaningful life of a girl, showing her unique experience of bravely overcoming difficulties, setbacks and even illness and death, and eulogizing her strong, kind and optimistic idealism.

You can also write from the details: "Life is not quality, but a quantifier …" This is a sentence on a tombstone in the movie Girl. Its significance may only be realized by those who have really tried to die. Everyone has a life and is consuming it. Do you realize what you have gained in life? What did you realize? Is it meaningful for you to live in this world? "

Third, collect a lot of money, adjust "soldiers" and send "generals"

When writing film reviews, we should fully and appropriately use the language we have learned. There is a folk riddle that defines "language" like this: "It is not honey, but it can stick to everything." Gorky also said something similar: Language is the clothes of all things and thoughts. ""The first element of literature is language. "Film is an art, and film reviews naturally involve all aspects. Without enough language reserves, you can't express your feelings. I have no real and profound feelings about movies, so naturally I can't write well. With true and profound feelings, if the language is poor, you can't write a good film review.

For example, a classmate told the whole story from beginning to end when writing his comment on the girl Mu Ran. First, write how Zhang followed her father from the poor and backward rural area of northern Shaanxi to study in Beijing, then write how Zhang was laughed at at at school, how she made progress, how Zhang took on heavy housework, how she came to the police station again and again to deal with her mother's hukou problem, and then write how she suddenly fell ill, accepted a severe test, how she wrote an autobiographical novel in her hospital bed, and how she was interviewed by a column group to tell the truth. At the end, I wrote: "After watching the movie, I feel that Zhang Muran is really great. I want to learn from her and be a strong person in life. "

In view of such a post-trial, although the author remembers the plot of the film, it is unqualified from the stylistic requirements and language requirements of the post-trial. There is only the last sentence "love" in the full text. Although the content of this sentence is appropriate, the article fails to grasp the key point of "emotion", and the language is dull and tasteless, which is difficult to attract readers' attention.

Many students are afraid to write this film, and they are excited when they watch it. They don't write when they write, either retelling the film or making irrelevant comments. So how to write a post-comment on true feelings?

First, correctly grasp the content of the article.

Common feedback generally includes three parts: 1 and content introduction. Summarize the content of the film in a few simple sentences, just as we usually read a text to summarize the main content, so as to be complete and concise. 2. comment. When writing this film, students can ask themselves the following questions: What impressed you the most in the film and why? Who do you like best and why? Which scene touched you the most and why? As long as you choose one of the questions to think deeply and write it down, it will constitute your personal evaluation of someone or something or a shot in the film. 3. Write down your feelings. This is the main part of feedback, and students often speak insincerely and shout slogans in vain. The most effective way is to compare: or compare the characters in the film with themselves, find the gap and find the shortcomings; Or contact someone who knows you well and explain your point of view; Or compare the advanced deeds in movies with the phenomena in life and society and talk about feelings from both positive and negative aspects. When writing, students can simply list some personal experiences, things (or people) they have heard and seen to make their feelings flesh and blood, and combine narrative with discussion. In short, only by contacting yourself, life and reality can we write the true feelings.

Second, find the right starting point for writing.

A movie has many characters, complex content and criss-crossing plots. When writing, you can't cover everything. You must find a starting point to expand the whole article, just like a red line connecting the three contents of "introduction-comment-feeling" Here are some simple methods: 1, choose a character. After watching a movie, some students are full of praise for the leading role, and some have a deep memory of a supporting role. In any case, just pick a character and walk into his heart through his words and deeds, so as to comment and express his feelings. 2. Intercept a fragment. That is, choose a short story or an independent plot in the film to unfold. For example, in the movie Ren Changxia, there are many examples of Ren Changxia's dedication to the people. Students can choose one of the short stories as a starting point and talk about their feelings in combination with reality. 3. Describe a shot. That is, using close-up or sketch, vividly describe a touching scene in the film, arouse your own emotional resonance, and then talk about your experience and feelings.

Third, write the characteristics step by step.

Novices can find the layout of the article according to the common three-stage order of "introduction-comment-feeling", which is easy to get started. Sometimes you can combine "comments" and "feelings" into one, and write feelings while commenting. With a certain foundation, we can break through the fixed structure and write our own unique feelings around a central clue by narrative, discussion and lyric.

Fan Wen: Comment on The Legend of 1900

The film tells a legendary story on the Virginia cruise ship. Hero 1900 is an abandoned baby. He was found on the piano in the first class. Old sailor Danny adopted him. In order to escape the law, 1900 exists in this world as an unknown child, just like this world, he doesn't exist at all. At the age of eight, Danny died in an accident, and he lost his only relative. When Danny's body was thrown into the sea, he really lived by the sea. That day, he heard the sound from a distant ship, and someone told him it was music. Perhaps by fate, his extraordinary musical talent enabled him to play touching music before he was ten years old. He learned all this without a teacher. He is a musical genius. There are three scenes in the film that shocked me the most. First, during the storm warning, 1900 sat on the piano and glided with his later friend Kang, enjoying the turbulence of the ocean with wonderful music. At that moment, it was so thrilling and comfortable. 1900 Play melodious music, as if dancing on the sea. The music is so suitable for the scene. At that moment, he was born not only for the sea but also for the piano. Secondly, this is the scene of his competition with another famous pianist. The film shows the audience 1900' s amazing piano performance talent in an exaggerated way. When the audience is quiet and the strings light cigarettes, 1900 won. He won the appreciation of the audience and let the famous pianist leave. He won everyone's love with his own ocean. Third, finally 1900 tearfully told his old friend: "On the boat, I have a piano, and I can play my favorite infinite music on his 88 keys. I have everything under control here. But when I saw the strange world in front of me, I suddenly felt afraid. This is an infinite piano. When you walk in it, you never know what you are going to play. How can I live in such a world? " These are his last words. 1900 never got off the boat in his life, and this detached pianist never took that step. Even if the other shore can let him have a girl who can make him write unparalleled beautiful music and make him feel excited, even if he can hear the sound of another sea that he has been longing for for for a long time, he still chooses to stay, even if the weight of this decision is his life.

1900 may be a pity to die. He was blown up with the boat. A generation of musicians left this world without leaving any complete works. What he left behind was only those shocks, those memories, those people's regrets and nostalgia.

After watching this movie, in the end, my regret and regret prevailed. Some are helpless. He is lonely and closed. In fact, everyone's heart has a world that needs to be closed and retreated. Just like 1900' s "ship" and "piano", everyone can't live without their own habits, and they all depend on their own habits and systems indefinitely, even mutually assured destruction, such as Virginia. 1900 likes boats, rocks, floating continents, and people who rush by, because he is completely used to it and has been integrated with boats and pianos. Once he leaves there, he will feel the earth shaking and he will get used to this turmoil. Does he also reject and hate peace and tranquility?

He likes to watch other people's lives rush to realize his dreams, and he likes to play the leading role in front of the piano alone. Does this kind of love also explain the imprisonment of a person's mentality on life values? A person who can't adapt to environmental changes and change his role with environmental changes is doomed to die with that era. This is the survival law of society and nature, so the ending of 1900 may be doomed. He likes freedom and tranquility. He has his own ideal world, which is his ocean, his boat and his piano. 1900 represents a kind of innocence and purity, and represents the fear of endless human desires. When 1900 hesitated on the gangway, facing the dusty modern industrial civilization, 1900 finally made up his mind never to leave his floating world again.

If Virginia is the home of 1900, then the price is his world. 1900 The reason why he didn't have the courage to get off the boat after all is because he has been living in such a single world. 1900 is stupid because he doesn't have the courage to accept an unknown world, but this is his wisdom. People's blindness lies in seeing their own level too high. In fact, some things can be controlled and some things can't be controlled. We should fully grasp the former and know how to give up the latter, otherwise it will be "fatal conceit". Conceit is a sign of ignorance. For 1900, he can grasp the music world in the piano and the small interpersonal society on the Virginia, but the world on the shore is undoubtedly too big and complicated. 1900 is smart because he knows how to give up and knows what he wants, so this simplicity makes us see a little cuteness, which is his real heart.

The story of 1900 reminds me that after wandering in this world for a long time, we have more or less some understanding of our own nature. If a person's understanding of himself is getting weaker and weaker, how can he know the world around him? I'm confused, too
