一、基本结构
影评适宜采用“三段式”写法:
1.第一段:背景介绍。在评论之前,作者要让读者了解电影的大致情况。因此,对影片背景的介绍很有必要。背景介绍通常包括故事背景、演职人员和获奖情况等。
2.第二段:内容简介。影片内容的介绍要简明扼要,要清楚地交代故事的情节,尤其是与影评相关的内容。应力求客观,以使读者对故事情节有所了解。
3.第三段:发表评论。这一部分是写作重点,也是影评的中心部分,可以选择性地从不同角度对电影的主题、情节、演员的演技等方面有针对性地发表个人看法,最后对电影进行总体性的评价。如果认为有必要,也可推荐给其他人观看。注意:对电影所发表的观点通常用现在时态。此外要注意评论的公正性、客观性,不可过于偏激。
