Four bees in one play

Although I have never seen Bruce Lee's version of "The Green Hornet", I also know that it has the capital to be remade, and it has reasons to be called a classic and be remembered. But there's nothing in the new Green Hornet that reminds you of the movie other than Seth Rogen's buzzing, bee-like babble of dialogue. Don't tell me about Cameron Diaz, she's really old; don't tell me about Jay Chou, he's really young; don't tell me about 3D, this guy who is regarded as making money has no potential to be snubbed. . And there's Christopher Waltz, I wonder, what does he do other than pretend to be the bad guy? In fact, in the face of so many superpowers in Hollywood, this Green Hornet is really dwarfed, except for his funny skills. In my opinion, if the movie removes this chivalrous character, it would be more worthy of its name. So, four bees play one show.

The story of the film follows the tradition of Hollywood superpower movies, and the plot on the standard assembly line is beyond reproach and beyond reproach. For this type of movie, if it competes with the plot, it is purely idle and boring. The film follows the mysterious death of a media mogul whose son, who had been partying all day, inherits the company and develops a delicate friendship with one of his father's employees over a cup of specially-made leaf-shaped coffee. Let the two people in their wasted life find a common goal, let them turn into the Green Hornet, fight criminals, and after the unintentional provocation of the beautiful secretary, develop a "super friendship" relationship. In the end, the Green Hornet fights hard The villain, hold the "black beauty" back. Of course, it would be interesting to tell the story with four bees. Two idle drones roamed around, trying to fight evil. So, naturally, the female bee appears, and the two male bees fight for the female bee. Then, the evil bee began to fight back, fighting with the two drones. As a result, of course, justice triumphed. The story looks simple, but it's actually pretty boring.

In fact, speaking of it, this is a movie that can really make you sleepy, like lying on the bedside reading a textbook, and its hypnotic function is really similar. If it wasn't for Seth Rogen constantly playing his mouth, buzzing like a non-stop bee, I'm afraid he would really fall asleep there. Moreover, the appearance of the old sister Cameron Diaz did not make people's eyes bright, or there was an idea of ​​people not wanting to sleep. It felt like a movie wearing a Green Hornet outfit, but it turned out Wearing a mask of red roses, it doesn't fit. As for Jay Chou, who made his Hollywood debut, he maintained his usual youthful nature. However, it seems that since his debut from "Initial D", he has not changed at all. If you say it nicely, it's called an authentic performance; if you say it badly, it's called lack of acting skills. The villain played by Christopher Waltz should have made this movie a little more interesting, like the villains in those classic superpower movies, holding up half the sky. But as a result, this crazy villain is pretending by acting, only in form but no god, and after watching it, he has no impression, just like this movie.

In the end, there are two more "values" to this movie for me. First, it reminds people of the old classics and the former Bruce Lee. The second is that it makes 3D, the big head, lose its usefulness once again. This is very comforting. A good movie needs more than technology, not to mention your technology is fake.
