There are many "good-looking" elements in the film-Laura is the first to bear the brunt, of recalcitrant expression, vigorous skill, tights (of course, not only tights, I thought that the slant off-shoulder outfit was the most beautiful), sophisticated The weapon, and the wisdom endowed by the director; then, there are robots, dazzling stunts, the mystery of Cambodia, the vast cold of Siberia, and even the multi-handed stone Buddha (not even a thousand-handed Buddha) walked on the lotus throne. Come down and fight with people (although these stones are really vulnerable), the monks who seem to be prosperous, and the mysterious little girl Jasmine... What else do you expect?
Of course, if you simply pile these elements together, it will be no different from watching a scenic film. It will not attract the audience’s interest. Therefore, there must be a storyline, ups and downs, and twists and turns. "Eye of the Eye" and the triangle that separates the two places are supported by specious theoretical support, and there are treacherous angles that are evenly matched with good people... After watching it, the feeling is "hard work", and the actors work hard (including the beautiful women desperately playing cool and the bad guys desperately The ground is bad), the director worked hard to push up the wonderful scenes, which is pleasing to the eye. I haven't played this game. Compared with games, movies should be a bit less "tension", "excitement" and "exciting"-but movies are movies, and they cannot be compared with games. And presumably, the scenes in the game are also inferior.
According to the law that the good guys must win and the bad guys must fail, the heartbeat steadily saw the first part without any feeling of throbbing, but I did not fall asleep, otherwise it would be too shameful for Julie. I see Julie’s. There are not many films. Although the action of "Smiths" is super hot, it feels similar to this one. The most impressive is "Mobile Murder", but Ethan Hawke's performance is better than Julie. Having said that, for the role of Laura, Julie is the most suitable candidate. I can’t see that characters whose souls don’t exist in their hearts are actually not easy to act. The dazzling appearance can cover up the lack of souls. Those robots or golems can only be robots or golems, although Laura’s expressions are always those back and forth. Kind of, the movement back and forth is the same, but through the beautiful big eyes, accompanied by firearms, motorcycles and other props, with different landscapes as the background, the performance is different. A blockbuster is a blockbuster, and the props are unambiguous. The "All Seeing Eye" is well-made and has a quaint style. It looks extraordinary, unlike in domestic films, where the green jade looks like soap. The same goes for the ball and the magic box in the second part.
My favorite shot in the first part is going back in time. Powell’s throwing knife at Alex flies back. This shot coolly shows the bullet time in The Matrix, but it’s reversed, and in the middle, Laura Turning the flying knife, and stab Powell back, it is a living embodiment of the Murong family's "use the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son".
In addition to "good-looking", the second part also has "fun". It is a little heartless to say that it is fun, because Laura and Terry are dancing on my land of China, indiscriminately killing my compatriots (the gangsters are also compatriots) and destroying Cultural relics. But it is really fun. The familiar land of the Central Plains, the rustic gangsters, or speak the local accent, or fluent English. At the beginning, the old lady frightened me. Laura is capable enough to have such insiders. The gang leader played by Ren Dahua is not rustic and very international, but he died too fast. And Laura and Terry flicked the Great Wall, Luoyang, Xian (Xi'an is not mentioned in the film, but so many terracotta warriors and horses don’t look like they were shipped to Luoyang, so let’s say they arrived in Xian and forgot to tell them), and Shanghai. Suddenly Hong Kong... and then to Africa, the transfer of this region is fast enough.
Like the first part, the second part also needs a specious theme. The reinterpretation of classical mythology with "science" was originally a technique used by Ni Kuang. Looking at the large number of Chinese elements in the second part, it is hard to suspect that the screenwriter has not seen the Wesley series. The plot is naturally clichéd, and countless films have similar plots: evil scientists try to find some kind of treasure to change the world, and the good guys naturally can’t let it succeed, so the two sides fight against each other. The story is clichéd (after watching Indiana Jones, I think All similar stories are like plagiarism. Of course, the Indiana Jones of the beauty version is still a bit different), but the pictures are dazzling, so it can make people watch with gusto, while watching and thinking about the effect of what software is used to make it. ——This is a bad habit that I cultivated after I became interested in multimedia production. I always try to analyze it and restore it. Although I am not interested in multimedia production now, the bad habit has been developed, and naturally I have lost a lot of surprises and fun.
Still similar to the first movie, the Cradle of Life is of course not a smooth road. This time it is not the stone man blocking the way, but the shadow monsters that come and go without a trace. These monsters are really capable, at least I have not figured it out. , People as monsters are naturally "weird and vast" and can escape into the ground, but how come the people they are holding and break through the ground and disappear? Would it be possible to catch this skill if caught by a monster?
The most spectacular and creative scene is when Laura lifts up the ball. When the deciphered sound waves return to the ball, the light shines brightly. The limited space in the small houses suddenly becomes infinite, and the scene of the African savannah appears-the film is fun. One of the credentials. If the first part is described as "cool" in one word, then the second part can be described as "hyun".
If the first part is about family affection, the second part's main emotional line is love-specious love. Terry boasted that she and Laura were a natural pair, and Laura didn't seem to be ruthless with Terry, but the realm of the two people was very different, adding a bit of twists and turns to the film, and the ending was destined. In the play, Terry is actually unfortunate (or honored) to take on the role of the male vase, in order to contrast the heroine's righteousness and the awe-inspiring and femininity of Laura. Speaking of cuteness, it's Laura's two assistants. ——I have to admit that the person who matches Julie the most is Brad Pitt. Although Ethan Hawke is also good, beautiful women cannot be contradictory-not to mention that his role in "Mobile Murder" is so bad that there is no possibility of being forgiven.
When microcomputer technology became popular, the film was full of dazzling special effects, and even overwhelming the audience, making the plot and characters secondary, and the pleasure of watching the film has actually been greatly reduced. The success of "The Matrix" is that the plot and the characters are always the main thing, the theme is clear, the layers are progressive, there are suspense, there are foreshadowings, there are answers, there are beginnings and ends, special effects are indispensable, but from, to supplementary, watching the film At times, people will forget their own existence, after seeing it, fall into thinking, this is the real charm.
