The story of Fate Zero is a tragedy.
This is something that any viewer who knows about Fate knows.
But when these cruel scenes are really played out on the screen.
Even those viewers who had anticipated this probably did not expect that "history" would be like this.
The way Emiya Kiritsugu planned to kill the Lancer group was not justice at all.
No righteous person would go to such lengths to eradicate the root of the problem.
When Lancer died, most viewers thought that Kiritsugu Emiya would let Kayneth go.
After all, not only had the opponent lost all his Command Seals, but he was also half disabled and all his magic circuits were destroyed.
Even people who don't know much about the setting of Fate can see that Kenneth is no longer a threat.
Many people even felt sorry for this monarch who appeared so powerful when he first appeared.
I don't know what kind of ridicule this proud monarch will suffer when he returns.
But I didn't expect that Kiritsugu Emiya had already thought of all the escape routes for Kenneth.
You don't have to spend money on the return flight ticket. Just live a good life in Fuyuki City from now on.
Of course, by sleeping in a little box.
"Why did Emiya Kiritsugu do this?"
An audience member was talking to himself, seemingly confused.
It is obvious that he is no longer a threat to his opponent.
Even if Kayneth gets a Servant like Iskandar, he probably won't be able to bring out the opponent's strength.
"Is this what war is? There is no mercy, only the annihilation of all enemies?"
The person next to him said in a noncommittal tone.
"But isn't this too cruel? Sora just wants to be with the person she loves."
Although the image of Kenneth's fiancée has always been not very likable, and even has a bit of a bitch vibe.
But her death is still painful.
But compared to Kayneth, who needed Saber's mediation, Sora's death was at least painless.
But this was not out of mercy from Emiya Kiritsugu.
Now he just eliminates all the enemies' killing tools.
Regardless of his opponent's condition, all he wants is to annihilate the enemy.
At this point, 40 minutes into the movie, the audience's emotions have already fluctuated several times.
From the blood-boiling moment of the epic and heroic scenes at the beginning, to the touching moment of the holy sword shining, to the chilling moment when all Lancer members leave the stage now.
The audience's hearts began to fluctuate as the plot progressed.
What was originally a passionate war has turned into a battle royale of survival.
After the Lancer team left the stage, the war seemed to have entered the final round.
Who will die next?
This has become a question for many viewers.
This is not a joke, but a genuine question for all viewers who are watching "Inferno" for the first time.
The next person to die was Tohsaka Tokiomi.
Died from being backstabbed by his apprentice.
Because Nanaya hasn't filmed the Fate line yet, fans don't know the "whoever sends the sword gets stabbed" joke.
I also don't know how powerful the Azoth sword, the master's treasure, is.
For today's audiences, this plot just fills in the gap of Father Mapo killing Tohsaka Rin's father.
It also explains why Gilgamesh stayed in the church in UBW.
Now it seems that the opponent has been on the same side as Father Mapo since the beginning of FSN.
Ryan watched the development of the plot, and she asked Nanaya curiously: "In fact, in UBW, Shinji has never been considered Gilgamesh's true Master, right?"
Before Nanaya could answer, Lily spoke up first: "Yes, firstly, there is no Command Seal, and secondly, there is no formal contract. The so-called master-servant relationship is completely Shinji's own words~"
Ryan raised his eyebrows.
Although there was no direct evidence, Ryan had reason to believe that Lily's words were a veiled criticism of him.
Of course, this could also be because Ryan himself felt guilty.
After all, ever since Lily confronted him last time, Ryan always thought of a lot of unnecessary things when facing his sister.
Nanaya had no idea about the little thoughts between the two sisters.
He lowered his voice and replied to Ryan: "For such nitpicking details, I always believe it if I believe it or not. Isn't it good to leave it to the fans to discuss it themselves?"
"And use this to increase the topic?" Ryan nodded in agreement. "It's true that the Nanaya I know is good at creating hot topics."
She suddenly glanced at Illya and said, "But the 'wife' you chose has a really great figure. Even I am a little tempted."
"Tsk."
Lily's temple throbbed noticeably, and she took it as a provocation.
"???"
Nanaya glanced at Ryan.
He didn't know what Ryan was going to do by suddenly mentioning Illya's figure.
[Is he jealous? He can't be jealous of Illya's figure, right?]
Illya's figure after development is already very impressive for an average woman.
But it's still a little bit worse than Ryan.
It's not just because Ryan's cup size and hip circumference are a bit more exaggerated than Illya's.
Ryan's biggest advantage is her very slim waist.
In contrast to this thin waist, Ryan's body shape looks much more exaggerated than the actual data.
Ryan himself is well aware of this.
Although humility is a virtue of chivalry, Ryan never shies away from his proud assets.
So now when Ryan praised Illya for her good figure, Nanaya just took it as sarcasm.
He tapped the screen with his chin: "Let's go watch a movie."
"Yeah, okay."
Ryan seemed very satisfied with Nanaya's reaction.
"snort."
Lily also knew that now was not the time to get upset with her sister.
But after being dissed by her sister, she was no longer satisfied with just leaning on Nanaya's shoulder.
Taking advantage of the dim environment of the theater, Lily simply hugged Nanaya's arm.
[Hahaha! Hey, fast forward the movie to the end! ]
Nanaya, whose face was messed up by Lily's bold action, gave an awkward but polite smile to the screen.
After Tohsaka Tokiomi's death, Mapo signed a contract with Mr. Golden.
Originally, the audience thought that Gilgamesh would be the next to sweep the Holy Grail War with his unrivaled power.
But I didn't expect that what followed would still be a series of literary dramas.
Maybe it's the director's style, or maybe it's because live-action movies can't use character dialogues to drag out time like animations.
So even though the specific plot didn't change much, Nanaya still made a lot of modifications in his own directorial style.
At the same time, the rhythm of the film can be accelerated by shortening the shots appropriately.
The content that originally took a whole episode to tell in the FZ animation was compressed into just 10 minutes by Nanaya.
After Kiritsugu took the scabbard from Iri, he headed to Tokiomi's residence.
When Kiritsugu discovered that Tokiomi was dead, Maiya called and said that Rider had kidnapped Iri.
Kiritsugu used the Command Spell to let Saber rush to the warehouse, and he quickly rushed back to the base.
By this time, Saber had gone after Rider, and only the dying Maiya was left in the warehouse.
After seeing Kiritsugu for the last time, Emiya Kiritsugu's assistant left with peace of mind.
This part of the plot was shot quite concisely by Nanaya. The plot was constantly moving forward, but the audience did not feel any confusion.
At most, he was confused as to why Rider suddenly took Iri away.
There are also the pictures and settings of the film. As the style of the film gradually becomes darker, the color scheme of Nanaya's film also begins to become darker.
If you really want to compare it, it is probably a bit similar to the color tone of the "Harry Potter" series.
You have to know that each film in this magical fantasy film series is darker than the last.
Especially the second half of the seventh film, which adds 3D effects to the dark background of the film...
Some viewers with poor eyesight may feel that staring at the black screen is a very stupid thing to do.
Fortunately, Nanaya already knew that 3D would cause the screen to turn black.
Therefore, when grading the color of the movie, Nanaya made separate adjustments specifically for the IMAX 3D version.
It ensures that when the audience watches, they will not feel it is all pitch black and they cannot see anything clearly.
Just as Nanaya emphasized before filming FZ, a dark plot does not mean a black picture.
You can use gloomy tones to create that feeling, but you must never make the movie screen black just for the sake of a dark plot.
That method is too low-level.
"It can be seen that our director still cares about the audience."
After listening to Shiki's explanation, Johnson nodded repeatedly.
This spirit of learning for the audience is something he must learn.
"Humph, he wouldn't be that kind."
Shiki Matsuno snorted coldly. He didn't mind selling out his friend completely.
"The screen is completely dark, so the props in the scene can't be seen clearly, right? What if the sponsors are unhappy?"
Don't be fooled by the fact that the story of FZ is set during the Clinton era more than a decade ago.
But that doesn't mean the film has no advertising sponsors.
As a super-large-scale production series, FZ received more than 25 million US dollars in sponsorship from sponsors.
Since you have received the money, you have to do the work.
Nanaya naturally has to consider these advertisers.
Generally speaking, movie sponsors advertise in commercial films to promote current or upcoming products.
However, since the FZ story takes place in the past, I certainly cannot recommend some new products.
Because of this, Nanaya could only find a way to make the sponsors' logos appear in a place where the audience could see them.
If the picture is too dark, these signs will not be clearly visible.
Then wouldn't the advertisers' money be wasted?
More importantly, if your reputation among sponsors is ruined.
Next time when making a movie, it will be hard for Nanaya to find someone to take advantage of...
Pooh,
The sponsor is asking for advertising fees.
Therefore, this is an important matter related to Director Nanaya's business reputation.
