Essay 原作


Every movie has a story to tell. A good movie tells a story with good style. It is important that movie-goers can feel emotionally at sight and, after that, can think deeply about the story. The rest about the making of a movie is common sense. Like a novel, a movie is supposed to have a theme or message, a plot or script, characters or actors and actresses, and actions leading to a climax falling suddenly after a series of conflicts and suspenses. The modern film industry dominated by Hollywood adds special effects to sight of scenery and sound of music, and lots of money,too. However, no one knows what other factors contribute to a good movie than a good director.

Just how good is a movie is first of all a matter of feeling. The feeling must be independent of box-office success or failure, and of film critics whose opinions have often become the mainstream. A good movie can make people laugh, cry or panic. The feeling may find expressions in different emotions to various degrees, touching hearts of many in unity with the message of the film. Failing that factor, the story cannot not make but break. It is because a good movie appeals to mutual feeling among sensitive hearts.

Likewise, a really good movie, once seen, is not easy to be forgotten as it causes audience to think profoundly hereafter. This phenomenon turns to be a dramatic factor for a good story about the unpredictibility of incidents and actions facing characters. It goes to prove that movies as art imitate life, not very unlike holding a mirror to life itself. The theme of a good movie therefore becomes a constant message haunting sensible minds long after sensitive emotions are gone.

A movie of artistic value is always illustrated in extraordinary style. I think this is unseen because art is a thing of magic. The key to great style is held by directors who are masters capable of making audience feel and think through presentation of their artistic masterpieces. That is probably why the value of a great movie endures.
