1. After thinking about it for a while, I lost a cruel word in my heart. Fortunately, I called Alita. So Kelly is still perfect! Ok!
2. If you overemphasize that this is a movie that my generation has been waiting for for more than ten years, it will make the focus of the current experience lose its focus. It seems that it is simply because I am looking forward to it, so I can't be satisfied with anything. But not so. Just looking at the ratio of characters and elements in the play is also inspiring.
3. Even if the original author draws a world that is mixed with the Western wasteland, even if the creator of the film loves and respects comics. Once it's live-action, the sense of world and character adjustment will be fine, just don't make it like Dragon Ball. Indeed, with such a high investment, the interest and positioning cannot be too homey, and we must face the largest audience. The heroine is indeed a girl (in appearance), so it is even more important to enlarge this point.
4. So in the process of watching, the brain has been calling the reference object for comparison, which is definitely not a comic. It is the finished product of teenagers with a big world view like "The Hunger Games" and "Divergent". A little closer, you can think of "Ready Player One", and... cautiously compared to the widow Moko. But such a horizontal pull, it also feels enough. Throughout the entire viewing of "The Hunger 1", I understood what the irony of this imaginary world of totalitarianism was, and I wasn't interested in the fights and slaughter they played at home, but when Kayneth raised those three fingers, he still felt shaken. An entire movie is paved with "meaninglessness" to the "meaningful" attitude of this moment. But what about the moment when Alita raised her knife to the sky? I shrugged. But just for a boy...
5. Of course, what's the problem with the boys? no problem. If you eat and drink and burn your head, you should avenge your personal revenge, even if it is windy or rainy. So this is not purely a matter of high school students' sweet and greasy love, but this line has greatly occupied the account of all aspects of the world, resulting in a lack of class distribution, work division, and life logic in this town. It's not because we understand that these plays are equivalent to "high school daily", so he can only do high school daily. Hugo's characterization is uncharacteristic, and all the information in the front is purely functional (after all, there is always enough to see the screen, this paragraph is only nonsense), and I can't feel the enthusiasm given by the creators to this character. So it can only be given... a role. What is Alita's love for Hugo based on? Is it the first... young man you see in this world with your eyes open?
6. If they are really high school students, this level of detail is fine. Who are the parents of him and his partners, and what hobbies other than fighting each other and playing football, it really goes without saying. But their existence, after all, is closely related to the various settings of the town. This type of play, with the few pushes between Hugo and the little black brother, reached the climax of the play. At that moment, they were completely unadulterated 21st century successors... dismantling parts Does the group count as a two-faced personality trait? The function of this setting is both to make Hugo regret and to make Hugo wanted, but the big crisis is outside, what are these things? Alita couldn't even hold the resentment of "So you are such Hugo" for a second... Busy showing love, no time to show love.
7. Is this the real contradiction here? The art team worked hard to create the spectacle of the operation of Scrap Iron Town, and the plot task also gave the two bear children a space for easy communication. Naturally, the overall hope is that the audience will feel that this place can survive. But if it is possible to live, then why is the character's intrinsic motivation so determined to leave it. "Ready Player One" just used the setting of a washing machine as a bed, and finished the mentality. And "Elysium" is preceded by hard work and terminal illness to give Matt Dimon a reason to be in heaven. Think about the 20-minute plot of the film. Alita and Hugo are playing ball on the streets of Brooklyn, eating chocolate after playing, and the doctor and his ex-wife chatting casually at the coffee table by the roadside. Isn't this a normal day? ? No wonder many people said that they couldn't understand where Hugo's obsession with Salem came from. The bear child is not satisfied with escaping from death, and has to climb up on the grounds of evading the wanted. In doing so, the tragic undertones of that classic moment at the end are gone.
8. Of course, it is not only this thing that has disappeared, but also the real stress. For a long time, the audience's perception of the overall situation was many steps earlier than the characters. In this case, it is very easy to look boring when spending money. Since the villain has no substantive "thinking content", all the instructions are: kill her! why? have no idea! Then the audience can only make up their minds. Anyway, you are a bad person, so you have to kill good people. Come back several times, and when you want to explain, no one wants to hear it. The more critical method used by the villain is to let a big guy like Sam Worthington (but the actor who dubbed it is actually Rorschach) chase after him again and again... Mahershala Ali was in COS Yang Xiuqing the whole time. Jennifer Connelly stared at it the whole time... She ended up saying that "such selfish people have been changed", which is quite a compliment.
9. The battle in the rapid gliding is the highlight of the whole film, and the scale of violence is also well controlled. But it can only be said that it is not bad. If you want to say that it is an unimaginable fighting scene in recent years, it is too much. It’s still a little short, with not enough combat strategies and a certain sense of fun. Speaking of The Hobbit barrel, I want to revisit it even more.
10. Alita's character creation was seriously broken. This is especially true for some of the bar scenes. Her entire expression system suddenly changed from a Japanese girl to a dick sister. And the short speech that followed, the logic of challenging the hunters from all sides to hope that they would help, also jumped a bit. This is where the call is, this is the dock. Based on the imminent arrival of the pursuers behind, this mobilization is useless. It can only be understood that the movie wants her to fight here, so there are no conditions to create conditions to fight. Of course, it is also a must-have for youth films to create a little personality change of a rebellious girl.
11. The father-daughter drama is a little more complete. Waltz's performance is well controlled, and the place to explain the history is not so boring. In fact, the relationship and fetters between them need to be written about. The main contradiction appears to be one, but is divided into two layers. One is the father's "I hope you don't get into trouble and hurt yourself" to the girl's "But you can't find yourself until you get into trouble" awakening, which can seamlessly correspond to adolescence in any context. The other is the daughter's "I hope to go back to the top" and the father's "I came from there, don't go back, it's really not good", because it involves the key secrets behind, and it is secretive, instead It also slipped past. "I am a soldier so I must fight" in Japanese-style middle school. The Americans are always separated by one floor...
12. This theme is actually difficult from a narrative point of view. Generally speaking, a completely new worldview story needs to take a new person as an opportunity to enter, commonly known as "apprentice mode", so that other characters have the opportunity to introduce to the audience what kind of place this is. Therefore, the perspective character needs to be brought in quickly by the audience, and no longer be confused by his way of thinking (the most typical disabled male protagonist of "Avatar", who is an undercover agent for life, and got a new life in Pandora). Either the person has a huge mystery or uncertainty about him, and it's hard to see him at once. But the operating logic of the world is relatively familiar, so the audience will watch this person gradually change from being over-adapted to being over-adapted (such as the T1000 of "Terminator 2", how robots learn to understand love and sacrifice). When both points are relatively imaginary, what can help is that the whole event is clear and compact. But the main event of this film is... After talking about love for half an episode, you find that you have to face the chase?
12. To go back to the ground, this project has reached the point where it is now, there are several key turning points, but no matter how it is shot, it has become what it is now, and everything is based on the version that I have seen. Whether it was the biggest mistake to choose Ronaldinho to actually direct is the biggest mistake. But the moment Laoka handed over his script to others, a lot of thunder may have been buried. Although most of Cameron's previous films were written by himself, it must be said that he is a director-type screenwriter. When he writes stories for himself, his creativity and selection of materials may be good, but the plots are usually very good. of. Also because of the big road, it is convenient for him to precisely arrange what he wants to shoot to play a role in it. But once this script is handed over to others to operate and delegate power. Does the director who is facing your stereotypical plot really know how to deal with the one, two, three, four, five plans that you don't know clearly? Can it be changed? Is there something that seems unreasonable to change and I have to add an explanation? Is it too long to explain? What's more, there are still the aesthetics and classic scenes of the original work pulling in this story. Now the box office is not satisfactory, the sequel will move forward and the worldview will be closer to the adult sense, but what else can it be done? Really don't know either.
11. Said so much dissatisfaction, but the most crucial point. Most of the time, this virtual character is still eye-catching. The real body movements, the delicate expressions, and the beautiful curves of the mecha and armor. I couldn't help but want to know more about her. But, finally, I still miss Kelly.
