I have to repeat, this is a good "B-grade film". Don't watch this movie with the aesthetic vision and psychological expectations of a blockbuster, because this is a B-grade film, and it is after your mask that you are stirring up s things.
I don't want to say much about what a B-grade film is here, but some seniors in the industry once said that 70% of the success of a B-grade film is in the title and promotion. Take a look at "Scimitar", you can understand this very well. Scimitar has released several trailers in the early stage, and some of them are wonderful. Although all the trailers are basically exciting, you can know a little about them, but they are also full of , such as one of the trailers, has no lines, just a few clips and a few words:
"September 3rd, Heads, Will, Roll, Machete"
(how to translate, "September 3rd, The killing is about to begin, machete", which may roughly express the meaning of this sentence, but it is definitely not as good as the original text).
Compared with the title of "Scimitar" on a certain website, "Restricted Bloody Fragment, Scarface's Sturdy Killing", you can see how inciting the above words are. "Restricted Bloody Fragment" is a typical example. It is called in China, and foreign "restricted level" is accustomed to be placed on the side of the outer package and marked "involving sensitive content, over 18 years old to watch..." etc. Chinese "restricted level" likes to write big characters on the headline , as if shouting "Come and see, restricted level", go to various portal websites to see, there should be no "restricted level" on the home page, as if it looks empty, many times, "restricted level" instead becomes An eye-catching guise.
Next, let’s talk about the main features of B-level films, and the famous words of the seniors of B-level films (with restricted content): “The sexual fantasies of male audiences must be exploited; fighting and violence must be sufficient; there must be two story lines, one It is comedy, a liberal value that should reflect the left. Frontal nudity must be above the waist, back naked can be the whole body, ... (a few words are omitted), the title of the film must be used in the film." In the end, this is simply Jin Yuliangyan, who shoots B-level movies, if you can do this, you can make B-level movies, but only if you can't be in China, and obviously, "Scimitar" is such a standard, thorough Class B film. It's enough, there are comedies, there are free values, there are also fronts, and there are sides. The title of the film is the name of the hero, and it makes full use of the man's × fantasy, so this is definitely a B-level film.
After all, the biggest purpose of B-grade films is to use the most direct things to arouse your inner desires and satisfy your desires. I think this is mainly aimed at men, so horror, violence and pornography have become B-grade films for a long time. The same theme, because these things do work, and as a B-movie positioning, it can show these incisively and thoroughly.
In the society we live in, everyone is well-dressed, comes and goes with masks on the stage, and jokes about it. The article that people curse is very interesting), I can't wait to directly add fists and feet together. In fact, this is very normal. Everyone lives under a big system. As individuals, their will will always be squeezed. It is normal to have a little dark thinking, so the B-level film is to show, amplify these original imaginations, and use it to satisfy you. of these wishes. B-grade movies are very straightforward, they will give you what you want, unlike some movies, such as "The City Is Full of Steamed Buns", what exactly do you want to show when so many steamed buns are squeezed out? I really can't figure it out, is it to show the Chinese people's belief and determination that "man will conquer the sky"——! Gap, there will always be a squeeze.
As a B-movie male crowd, I like the style of "Scimitar". Compared with the samurai sword in the hands of the chick in "Kill Bill", I prefer the scimitar in the hands of Danny Choate. The weapon in the hands of the barbarian is close to my heart's desire, because it is more direct, more weighty, and more powerful. Some people may ask, why Robert De Niro is in this B-movie, and is such a funny supporting role, I think he also yearns for these raw desires, so why pay for it? Woolen cloth?
another paragraph.
For B-grade films, fans are eager to chase them, but many people are afraid to avoid them.
In fact, there are also some films and televisions that are opposite to B-grade films, such as "Together ×××××" and the like. The male protagonist is tall and thin, with a fair face, drives a luxury car, lives in a bungalow, plays the piano, and is kind-hearted, buttocks. Several chicks in the back are jealous, and in the end, they have to choose a woman who looks average. To be honest, what is the difference between this and a B-grade film, it is not to satisfy the fantasies and inner desires of another type of people.
Actually it's the same :)
