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.

  • 欣柔 6小时前 :

    比第一季差了些,感觉以叙事为主,不过这一集一小时四十分的时长真牛逼,推荐一看

  • 硕伟博 3小时前 :

    动作设计真是天花板了吧,人物总感觉欠了点啥。

  • 窦灵慧 7小时前 :

    说实话武侠不在我的点上,但也不得不承认这个系列的武侠味道是做到位的,是很纯粹的。而且试图去探索一些更深层次的东西,比如那一群墙头草一般的“喽啰”,他们就是所谓的“无知之恶”。希望有人继续做,因为真正的国漫崛起,从来不是一枝独秀,而是百花齐放。

    【B-】文戏勉强够用,武戏打斗虽精彩但有点嫌多,最后一战真是酣畅淋漓看的很爽。反派西门仁塑造的不错,令人印象深刻。而其实最可悲的一点是,无论是主角还是反派谁赢了或谁输了,这个时代都不会变得更好一点,黎民百姓和这些混江湖的,最后依然没有半点希望

    在动作打斗这块,我还没看到过刻画得更好的动漫。非常精彩,拳拳到肉。剧情顺畅,为动作服务,不拖泥带水。唯一的瑕疵,就是画面风格有点陈旧。

  • 蒯泽惠 5小时前 :

    刚开始不就是应该,谋而后动,带点脑子。

  • 珠帆 7小时前 :

    整部影片的打斗场景行云流水,干净利落,看得很过瘾,虽然剧情整体简单,但是瑕不掩瑜,枕刀歌塑造的武侠世界,是我心中所想的样子。

  • 段雪晴 9小时前 :

    应该可以说是看过最精彩的动画打戏。如果经费管够,估计会更加给力。

  • 盛铭 2小时前 :

    国漫这么多年,大部分都是用现成故事,套西式外壳而已,这部聚焦于武侠,加上水墨还是惊喜的,动作戏也很犀利,但缺点也很明显,首先是画风,水墨画加武侠还是挺有韵味的,但只有人物是水墨画,背影,物品还是普通CG,虽然影响不大,但画面总有一种奇怪的感觉,人物也不够细腻,表情僵硬,尤其是红娘女装的时候,脸都变形了,其次就是国漫的通病了,剧本太差了,背景很庞大,有武侠,有朝廷,但落脚点却是一个只能看到码头的临江,这是个什么地方,有多大一概不知,节奏乱,故事乱,人物乱,主角看不到弧光,配角全是工具,好不容易有个悲剧角色罗影,却讲的不清不楚,想塑造一个非二元对立的反派,但做的和说的又不符,渲染了半天的云雷戟,最后也没看到什么威力,我们的创意很多,制作也很不错,但真的就是缺像吉卜力、迪士尼那样能打动人的故事

    全程都是打戏,我就看明白他儿子为了他爹报仇,然后从头打到尾

  • 璇雯 8小时前 :

    7有老派武侠片那味,剧情简单恩怨分明,只需要闯关打怪。但反派动机确实弱了,有些牵强。

    这编剧幼儿园文化水平么。。。动作确实一流。
