I feel that the plot in the game is not enjoyable, and I deliberately use a movie to tell the story that happened outside the game in detail. It is presented in two different art forms, killing two birds with one stone. It not only promotes the game, but also develops it. Movie IP has achieved a win-win situation. It has to be said that the game company has a high chess and a long-term vision. Different from the previous two series of films, this film follows an international route, with all English dialogues, Hollywood stars are invited to join, and there is a story background with obvious political intentions, grand fantasy special effects and era settings full of technology, The film is starkly commercialized. For us, it is also an opportunity to enjoy visual bombing. The gorgeous and exquisite pictures, the characters with a high degree of reduction, all kinds of dazzling magic and technology, the magical atmosphere and the scientific and technological atmosphere are coexisting, as if traveling to a different time and space planet, It is imaginative and imaginative, and most importantly, it tells a great story, highlighting the relationship between the country and people, connecting national emotions with the life and death of the country, to reflect and feedback the impact of national politics on the nation. emotional damage. Of course, this is a movie adapted from an action game. Action is the most important part of the movie. The action scenes in the movie are continuous one after another. When the hero has magic, the hero will not only He is just a hero, more like a brave man. He is omnipotent, but he can't solve all problems by himself. This requires the help of his teammates. In the movie, he does not have a really good foundation. Friends, the team was basically wiped out. Not only did they get no help, they were even excluded. The only two good friends were killed and the other joined the opposition, but the stories of heroes are always full of various Lucky.

Compared with the beautiful and intangible movies like Final Fantasy 7, the movie is obviously a lot more realistic. It is no longer the aesthetic and pure style of Japanese comics. The movie has added the blood and passion of European and American movies, so what you see in the movie is not Then there are those love, love, and so on, but it is replaced by a big political and military scene like a small hero and a big country, which also changes the style of the movie a lot and brings a bigger picture. This transformation of internationalization is very successful. It is no longer simply the output of cultural elements, but the development of this film IP to the international market. This is the true sense of international integration, and it caters to the mainstream values ​​in the hearts of the public. , simply relying on cultural elements cannot conquer everyone. Only by meeting everyone's expectations can we truly get out of the misunderstanding of localism. As a result, the movie also has the entire Hollywood production team, plus the rich content supported by the game framework of the movie itself, and the third series of movies will naturally become more mature and exciting, so watching this movie, It shows a very grand and meaningful story. This is not just a prequel plot split from the game, but more of a fantasy about the future of politics and technology, and it is mixed with friendship and heroism. Relations between countries have become more complex and closer.

Of course, the movie is a movie derived from the game after all, and the main plots are still derived from the settings in the game, so the story background and the relationship between the characters in the movie become particularly ethereal and unrealistic, impossible It really attracts people to pay attention to the content of the whole story, and it is even less likely to have a serious judgment and appreciation for this movie. The only thing we can feel is that the movie brings the grand scenes in the game to the movie, and these backgrounds are carried out. With the improvement of reality, a scene of the development of future scientific and technological civilization has been laid out, making the film a fantasy-like film. This is also in line with the essence of the game content, because what it wants to highlight is the gorgeousness of the story content and the awesomeness of the main characters, and the movie has done this. Especially in the role of the protagonist, he spared no effort to deepen the character's ability and let the character bear the responsibility of saving the world. Even the irony and praise of his teammates cannot shake his love for the country and his determination to explore the truth. , it is this persistence that allows us to see the kind of temperament that only exists in heroes. It is also because of his loyalty to the country that he has become a bit pedantic and rigid. After the whole country seems to have been surrendered and betrayed by the king, he He still carried out his loyalty to the country in his heart, so much so that his good friends left him and joined the camp against the king. There are too many conspiracies and betrayals shown in the movie, making the whole plot look like a huge conspiracy. Only the protagonist appears as a silly and sweet character, which adds a different feeling to the movie. This kind of different out of the world, but also established the character will not have a good ending, after all, this is not a world of white lotus.

From this movie, we can see the future development direction of the Final Fantasy series, and from the character setting of the protagonist, we can see that the movie is taking a practical route. The protagonist from Hollywood star Aaron Paul CG is no longer It is an extremely beautiful character, but it makes people feel a little ugly. It is no longer as beautiful as those characters in Final Fantasy 7. It is definitely the favorite of otaku and rotten women. The movie is more aimed at passionate young people. As an ordinary person, I prefer this more practical version. As for the character setting where every frame of screenshots can be used as wallpapers, I am disgusted. If everyone is so perfect and impeccable, isn't that what we show up to be nothing? Besides, those beautiful characters always seem to be yin and yang, and they don't look normal at all. If you look at such characters every day, you will feel that you can become abnormal, and they will destroy the world at every turn. To be dazzling, or to fall into a beautiful and abusive love, it is hard to extricate oneself. The Japanese two-dimensional subculture that is beautiful and rotten is really unacceptable. I don't know what the fans of Final Fantasy think, because there is almost no love description in this movie, some are just the story of the brotherhood of the tough guy, completely abandoning the previous story mode, and using a new form to set off a bloody story. s story. The movie highlights the lessons that reality has taught us, and it also shatters our illusions about a better life, replaces idealism with conspiracy, and makes war more cruel and unbearable. In fact, reality, like games, lives in a dire world. There will be no perfect ending, only boundless pain and unknown conspiracy.

    The picture is good, the premise is that it doesn't move, and it will be fake when it moves... Except for the picture, everything else is a piece of shit, is the art setting blind? Audi + Medieval killing Matt is just a dog! Also interspersed with a Western wind prime minister... Why did the sword team go to the princess twice? Looking for a wife for the prince? The country here is about to kneel, and the king sent the prince to travel with the Cowherd? Anyway, the death of other people in the whole family will not affect your son's succession. What bullshit values?

    Is this story completely a copy of the story of the warrior Qin Wang? There are many foreshadowings and contradictions, which are expected to be put into the game. Soul art and dagger make the warrior real man and sword become one, and once again stand at the forefront of the world action system like "The Son of God". The two war scenes at the beginning and the end have both a sense of vigor and a sense of speed, which is really generous.
