《最后的公爵》不是那种看完就忘的作品,某些场景会在脑子里回放,说明情绪共鸣确实建立了。
一定要等到片尾彩蛋!一定要等到片尾彩蛋!一定要等到片尾彩蛋!重要的事情说三遍。这个彩蛋不是可有可无的消遣,而是对整个故事世界观的重要补充,不看的话你可能会错过很多关键信息。而且彩蛋本身的制作质量也非常高,不是敷衍的那种。建议观影的时候做好心理准备,字幕开始滚动的时候千万不要急着离开。
这部作品的口碑分化非常严重,喜欢的人很喜欢,不喜欢的人很不喜欢。我个人觉得两边都有道理。好的方面是制作水准确实不错,某些片段的创意和执行力值得肯定;不好的方面是节奏和叙事选择上确实有些争议性,不是所有人都能接受这种方式。建议不要看太多评论再去观影,保持一颗开放的心态,自己去判断到底喜不喜欢。
《最后的公爵》在同类记录片里属于“口碑型”作品,可能不是最炸场,但最经看,推荐给喜欢细品的观众。
这部记录片有非常明确的受众群体,不是所有人都能get到它的好。如果你恰好是这类题材的爱好者,那观影体验会非常好;但如果你对这个领域不感兴趣,可能会觉得有些无聊。影片中有很多只有粉丝才能理解的小彩蛋和梗,对于普通观众来说门槛确实有点高。我的建议是:如果不确定自己是不是目标受众,可以先了解一下大致内容再决定是否观看。
