Taking the Oscar as a milestone, Ledley Scott's "Gladiator" took the Hollywood epic film of the new century to an unprecedented height. Since then, the fate of this type of theme has taken a sharp turn, and it has entered a path of continuous self-repetition and failure. . High investment, huge risk, and the market’s indifferent response, apart from the success of Warner’s “300” series of swordsmanship to restore the essence of the comics, the period epic film almost made one loss, and was put on the shelf by filmmakers. Become reasonable. From 2000 to the present, fourteen years have passed. The rebellious son of Zeus, the royal family of Greece, and the generals of Rome have suffered conspiracy and persecution. It is inevitable that they will become slave gladiators. I can't help but wait for a small CK underwear. Go to the Colosseum to sell muscles, turn your friends with courage and warmth, seduce the opposite sex with hormones and a strong body, and then some Zach Schneider-style upgrade shots, plasma mixed with sweat, to demonstrate martial arts with killing, become a civilian hero, and let The tricks of the villain are revealed to the world. This is already a mature production model, which is a combination of countless experience and wisdom. It can't be said to be terrible, but as a creation, it is a stale taste.
The selling methods of Hollywood movies are sometimes similar to those of global fast-food chains-chicken has been fried for decades, and the oil has not been changed several times, but new ones are coming every month. As a result, market planning replaced production as the leading role, combining seasonal hot spots while making a big fuss on the concept. It's nothing more than chicken leg burgers. If you change to a sauce blended with additives, you dare to brand the "Ancient Secret System"; or if you take a piece of fried chicken from the burger and sell it alone, you can give it the name "Golden Crispy". Under the overwhelming propaganda, there are really many early adopters who have joined the net. This kind of marketing has been played for decades, and there are many people who are cheated after eating, but they have been tried repeatedly by merchants. If the costume epic movie is that burger, then "Pompeii Doom" is the so-called new flavor that adds disaster and romantic elements, or the familiar fried chicken, or the familiar burger. This time, we bring you "Rome Lava" Volcano Fort" is available for a limited time and will not wait for expiration. Please taste it.
In terms of perception, "The Last of Pompeii" exudes a deep fried chicken flavor. Regardless of the tastes of the "Professors" for the time being, it is a tasteless experience for most people. It is between the belly and the delicacy. It doesn't talk about taste and nutrition, but in the end, it supplies calories and eats standardized industrial processes. From the beginning of the movie, every segment of "Pompeii" will make the audience feel familiar. The protagonist almost follows the traditional script, stepping on the audience's expectations and walking down cautiously, like walking on thin ice, for fear of performing more. The accident came and frightened the audience.
For example, a pale aristocratic lady opened the curtains and looked out, knowing that a beautiful male protagonist must be in front of her by chance, showing off the stature and spirit of a rough man, making everybody's ladylike spring heart sprouting, and thus burying the fate; Seeing a small character with a fierce expression but a passerby look at the hero, I knew that the next moment was another corpse to pave the way for the protagonist's upper position; the big villain's organs were exhausted, the conspiracy seemed to be seamless, but it was just Jedi for the last protagonist. Counterattack prepared condiments. Not to mention those moments of crisis that deliberately create a "fate hanging by a thread" in the movie. Perhaps it is thrilling enough to be replaced by ordinary people, but the audience leaned comfortably on the lounge chairs and looked at the time. The movie is less than one-third of the time. Nothing happened, and I didn't even bother to cooperate with the movie as the protagonist. These are actually the usual problems of most Hollywood movies, but "The Last of Pompeii" is very obvious. Perhaps the production is too perfunctory, editing and rhythm are also problematic, coupled with the appearance of the young protagonist with a stiff expression, always forcing the audience to perform random thoughts, and then anxiously look forward to when the volatile Mount Vesuvius will erupt. ?
Yes, the plot is repeatedly cold, and the emotions are intermittent and difficult to support. It is best to still want the special effects of the big scene to save the scene. When the climax came, the great earthquake trembled, and the volcano that had been suppressed for 90 minutes really began to show its power, shooting "flying meteors" into Pompeii like a missile, smashing the Colosseum, destroying the houses, and smashing them. Destroying the sailing ship out of the port, smashing people up and down, and no one cares about the boring love of the male and female protagonists under the fierce drama, "Living Fire Molten City" immediately became the biggest protagonist of the movie. The big villain Kiefer Sutherland was not dead and tried to make some sense of existence, but unfortunately he forgot that he was no longer the undead "Bao Xiaoqiang" in "24 Hours". "Jon Snow" taught him in minutes." Winter is approaching, the waves behind the Yangtze River will push the waves forward". But it doesn't matter anymore, all the characters become insignificant existences in front of the volcano, nature is furious, destroys the world, and collapses. The volcano was fierce and fierce, shooting and shooting, shooting for 20 minutes, until the audience felt tired, the hero and heroine won the moment of life and death. At this point in the story, as long as there is a moment of clues, with the bad style of director Paul Anderson ("Resident Evil"), I am afraid that there will be 6 parts. Fortunately, the story comes to an abrupt end. Swallowed, all the characters were submerged in the ruthless God's Punishment, time froze and everything was quiet. At this point of the tragedy, I suddenly felt a sense of relief. A movie about disaster, the disaster of a movie, finally ended here. As the heartless Goethe said: "Among the many disasters that have occurred in the world, there has never been any disaster like Pompeii. It has brought such great joy to future generations." Gu Rencheng Don't deceive me either.
