Harry Potter E Il Principe Mezzosangue ·· Harry Potter e il principe mezzosangue ·· Scritto da Umberto Rossi Giovedì 16 Luglio 2009 00:00 - Ultimo aggiornamento Sabato 23 Aprile 2011 17:22 Harry Potter e il principe mezzosangue di David Yates – seconda volta alle prese con il personaggio dopo Harry Potter e l'ordine della fenice (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, 2007) – segna la sesta puntata delle avventure del maghetto che ha reso miliardaria la sua autrice. Il tutto in attesa della sconfitta finale del principe dei maligni, quell’angelo decaduto diventato Lord Voldemort, appassionante variazione del mito di Lucifero, che ha ceduto al lato oscuro della forza e della magia per diventare il signore dei Mangiamorte. La struttura dell’episodio e dell’intera storia è desolatamente elementare – gli ottimi da una parte i malvagi dall’altra – mentre sono quasi del tutto tramontati i pur timidi accenni satirici alla polverosità della scuola britannica. Più ancora che nelle puntate precedenti ciò che domina lo schermo è la magia degli effetti speciali, meglio il virtuosismo delle immagini create e gestite dal computer. C'è un solo elemento parzialmente nuovo: l’esplodere delle prime pulsioni sessuali reso inevitabile dall’aumentare dell’età degli interpreti. In definitiva il film presenta dialoghi statici, noiosissimi, prevedibili sino all’incredibile e resi parzialmente incomprensibili – per chi non sua un addetto ai lavori – dal riferimento continuo a personaggi e situazioni codificate negli episodi precedenti. C’è da dire, poi, che questa sagra, parzialmente come quella de Il signore degli anelli (The Lord of the Rings, 1937-49) di John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892 – 1973), appartiene a quel genere fantas y che non ha mai avuto grandissima popolarità nei paesi mediterranei ed è figlia diretta di una cultura protestante che ignora la confessione e la redenzione. Nel caso specifico il sapore della storia appare ulteriormente impoverito da un ricorso esasperato alla tecnologia e dall’abbandono del pur minimo tentativo di sorreggere il racconto con una qualsiasi struttura narrativa, che non sia quella della contrapposizione continua fra posizioni schematicamente definite. Buono per il commercio, pessimo per la creazione. valutazione: 1 2 3 4 5 Titolo originale: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince; regia: David Yates; soggetto dal libro omonimo di Joanne Kathleen Rowling (1965); sceneggiatura: Steve Kloves; interpreti: Daniel Radcliffe, Michael Gambon, Dave Legeno, Elarica Gallagher, Jim Broadbent, Geraldine Somerville, Bonnie Wright, Julie Walters, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Helena Bonham Carter, Helen McCrory, Timothy Spall, Alan Rickman, Oliver Phelps, James Phelps, Freddie Stroma, Jessie Cave, Tom Felton, Alfie Enoch, Evanna Lynch, Robert Knox, Amber Evans, Ruby Evans, Louis Cordice, Scarlett Byrne, Jamie Waylett; produttori: David Barron, David Heyman, Tim 1 / 2 Harry Potter e il principe mezzosangue ·· Scritto da Umberto Rossi Giovedì 16 Luglio 2009 00:00 - Ultimo aggiornamento Sabato 23 Aprile 2011 17:22 Lewis, Lionel Wigram, musica: Nicholas Hooper; fotografia: Bruno Delbonnel; montaggio: Mark Day; ricerca attori: Fiona Weir; scenografia: Stuart Craig; direzione artistica: Andrew Ackland-Snow, Alastair Bullock, Molly Hughes, Tino Schaedler, Hattie Storey, Gary Tomkins, Sloane U'Ren; arredamento: Stephanie McMillan; costumi: Jany Temime; società produttrici: Warner Bros.
