By Guan Yadi, the
biggest problem in this family sequel comedy movie is how to bring the same idea of "resurrection of museum exhibits" to new ideas. As a result, director Sean Levy learned a lesson from "Transformers" director Michael Bay, which is to move the story of "Museum Wonderful Night 2" to the "Smithsonian Museum Group" composed of 19 museums, so this The second strategy is "the museum is bigger, the museum is more, and the resurrected exhibits are more weird". From this point of creativity, for a family comedy, it can be explained.
This time, in order to save a group of old friends of antiques, the security guard Lalli has to fight against some of the most fierce villains in history in the largest museum in the world-ancient Egyptian pharaoh + Ivan the Terrible + Napoleon + Al. Capone, it sounded enough thunder, and Larry was also busy having a "Museum Romance" with the first transoceanic female pilot in the United States. In the end, of course, it was a happy ending. Old friends were reunited, and more importantly, security guard Larry re-understood the true meaning of simple and pristine life-to do what you love and be with the people you love.
The IQ of the film's story and characters basically stay below the sixth grade of elementary school. In the film, only the female pilot played by Amy Adams makes people feel novel. In contrast, the performances of other characters are like puppets. Obviously, the film is targeted at home audiences, so when you watch Ben Stiller’s various low-school funny and funny passages on the screen, for movies that actively scratch your armpits like this, anyone with a straight face and seriousness Criticism will become as funny as the film. So, either don't watch it at all. If you buy a ticket and go to the cinema, Ben Stiller will definitely make you laugh and giggle for ninety minutes.
As a representative of the "Bitch Gang" in American comedy, Ben Stiller has always been committed to entertaining the American public and even audiences around the world. Domestic audiences can imagine him as a little Shenyang on the big Hollywood screen, but he is better than him. Xiao Shenyang needs to be more inspirational, popular, and even greener. For the jokes Xiao Shenyang often composes, at least in the "Museum Series" aimed at family audiences, Ben Stiller's funny tricks are more green and environmentally friendly. Although the film quality of this film other than "special effects + jokes" is really unsatisfactory, this young entertainment film can give Chinese audiences enough alternative viewing fun and inspiration.
First of all, if you imagine that "Wonderful Night at the Museum 2" is a domestic film, then I guess it must be a full investment by the Ministry of Education and the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China, because the greatest value of this film in my opinion is that it has a great value to the primary and middle school audiences. With its educational and entertaining value, you can completely regard "Museum Wonderful Night 2" as a multimedia lecture on history, nature, and the development of aviation technology. If you enumerate and annotate the characters, knowledge points and details that appear in "Museum Wonderful Night 2", the content is enough to compile a set of popular science books on history, nature and technology.
Because every character and information point appearing in the film should not exceed the knowledge range of American elementary and middle school students. And this is the biggest advantage of the film shooting in the "Smithsonian Museum Group". In addition to the spoofed several historical villains, the famous oil painting "American Gothic" is known as the "Five Symbols of American Culture". It has also become a weapon for the security guard to fight the wicked; the first thing Rodin’s famous sculpture "Thinker" is resurrected is to chase the beauty; the security guard Lalli can get into the classic World War II Victory Day soldiers and nurses while fleeing. Go in the photo of the kiss. In short, this movie is crazy and funny, and it will definitely allow American primary and middle school students to take a refresher on natural history lessons. But the rule must be "Entertainment first, giving audience lessons second." Is this enough inspiring Chinese movies?
Secondly, through this film, we can see that the United States loves museum culture, which can also touch people a lot. A few days ago, I watched an episode of "Iwamatsu Watching America" on the CCTV News Channel. When it comes to American library culture, I feel very similar, that is, the United States has invested heavily in history and culture. "Wonderful Night at Museum 2" moved the scene from the New York Museum of History to Washington. It not only completed an unskilled family comedy movie, but also completed a perfect display of the soft power of American culture. This time it sold a powerful " Museum culture".
Looking back at the country, I have recently heard news about dozens of museums in Beijing opening freely, and the focus of discussion still remains on the issue of "pros and cons of free opening of museums." At the same time, recalling the same news that the "4 trillion central investment is nearly half completed" released by the media in the past few days, it is estimated that Chinese museum culture has just picked up the number at the door, and the waiting line is very long and lined up. At this time, I think "Wonderful Night at the Museum" looks a bit like a science fiction film again.
