The Mummy 3: Even Without Freud's Theories

Even if Floyd's theories are

n't mixed in, when the Harrison Fords are about to retire and the "Indiana Jones" franchise has to go on, Hollywood's former screen heroes are bringing their sons to the fore. In the journey to save the world, teach them the Tao, let them inherit the family business, and play personal heroism in the palm of their youth. The three generations of the old, middle-aged and young are all taken into account, making the series of movies possible. Perhaps the unwise thing about the "Rocky" series is that the production team did not think about designing a successor son or daughter for Rocky early. Look, "Indiana Jones 4" did a good job, and "The Mummy 2" A son who is very adventurous is placed for the protagonist with great means. Yes, that smart boy is doing very well in "The Mummy 3" now. Naturally, this is in terms of character design, not that the actor plays it well. So much more, in fact, this movie with so many stars doesn't have much to say about heavyweight performances, not counting the massive snowman.
The family theme has always been the mainstream narrative in Hollywood, and "The Mummy 3" is immortalized. One point of view points out that the ancients believed that inheriting the lineage was a means of prolonging their own lives. Like countless emperors, Qiu Wang, who was looking for the way to eternal life, certainly didn’t think so. This appropriately highlights the Rick family’s view of family in the film. Pay attention and make it cluttered in the ubiquitous Chinese elements. Here, the value of Chinese elements to us is an apt reminder that our blockbuster productions should not ignore China's vast geographic and historical resources.
Even if it is not mixed with Nabokov's "Viennese witch doctor" theory, the contest between father and son is still a constant issue of human ethics. If there is any merit in "The Mummy 3", then this theme It is a clever addition to the power/immortality issue that runs through the film series. It is a pity that it has not been deepened. Instead, it is a gag that dilutes the thickness it should have. I believe the creators do not take it seriously. After all, you can't expect a producer who lacks the concept of pros and cons to make the groundbreaking "The Lion King", however, "it doesn't matter the size, the key is staying power", it will still attract a crisp laugh. The ending is as you would expect, the father admitted that his son's strength is superior to him, and he was about to tell the most proud line in Hollywood movies: "Son, you are a good boy!"
100 million US dollars of investment, more than 1,000 special effects, to create a Hollywood movie as Borges said: "scenario transition without logic." Come to think of it, the wise old man in Argentina is not only a great novelist, but also a good one Prophet. "We all live in stories, why write them?" Evelyn said with her arms around her husband, her ideological realm was close to that of Fellini. As Europe's greatest movie magician, the latter once said that since movies are realistic, So why don't we move a stool and sit on the side of the road to watch the scenery? No one will rely on the realism of the "Mummy" series. Our dissatisfaction is that the audience who does not live in the story is watching a lifeless story, and the creator's inertia cannot be ignored. "The Mummy 3" is from the story. The design from the frame to the bridge is basically copied from the previous episode, except for the end of the movie, the beautiful woman in the nightclub sings a song affectionately, a moving song.
