I just moved to a new house recently. The elevators in this building are evil. Except for the elevator doors, they are all mirrors on three sides. My girlfriend took a picture in it, and thought this endless feeling was quite amazing. I joked that if one of your images deviates from the action or appearance of the other images, it is really amazing. She was so scared that she hurriedly told me to shut up and told me that she would not dare to take this elevator anymore. I quickly changed the subject and said that this kind of trick of creating countless levels of space through mirror reflections, Nolan played in "Inception" back then. By the way, Nolan's new film was released, so I was shocked to watch a movie this week.
"Creed" is a movie that is least afraid of spoilers. The movie "Fatal Magic" that relies on a trick to hide the huge reversal can be called "magic", because just like real magic, the revealing of the secrets brings great pleasure, and the show itself is also hugely enjoyable. destroy. The "Creed" is different. Even if you throw the script on your face to let you read and recite the full text, you still may not get a glimpse of the whole thing. You have to watch it and feel it. The small details are possible. It is counter-intuitive and counter-intuitive. Even for viewers with a lot of movie-watching experience, most of the brain speed cannot keep up with the film's advancing rhythm. Even if you keep up, you have to clarify a small detail, and you may have to make a long explanation. It takes a posture of writing academic papers to make it clear what the film is all about. If "Fatal Magic" is magic, then "Creed" is magic. The former relies on tricks and tricks, while the mental power needed in the creation process of the latter is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people's brains. After reading this, everyone should be able to feel that the person who wrote this thing saw it as the old promise.
The protagonist of the film is called "the protagonist", and that's how it is written on the cast. For the sake of description, I call him Zhao Tiezhu. For more detailed origins of this name, you can refer to the previous film "The Black Party Apprentice" Film Critic: Zhao Tiezhu's Breakthrough of the 3K Klan. Zhao Tiezhu belongs to the mysterious organization code-named "Creed", whose purpose is to prevent the world from being destroyed in the Third World War. The reason why it is necessary to set up such an organization is because some retrograde objects have been discovered. The so-called "reverse time" is the inversion of the result and the cause, and the inversion of the starting point and the end point. A normal bullet is first loaded into the magazine, then fired out, hit the wall, leaving a bullet hole. The counter-time bullet first appeared in the bullet hole on the wall, then was sucked into the barrel, and then returned to the magazine. The whole process looked like a rewind in the eyes of normal people. To adapt to retrograde, you need to practice retrograde thinking. To pick up a retrograde bullet, you have to imagine the process of throwing it down in your mind, and then it will be sucked into your hand. Similarly, if you are in a reverse time state and you want to run to a car, then the instruction given by your brain is to imagine yourself backing from the car back to where you are now.
This is not the first time Zhao Tiezhu has seen reverse time phenomena. Before he was recruited into the creed organization, he had undergone a test. The content of the test was that he rescued important Americans from an opera house hijacked by terrorists. Once this important American man falls into the hands of an adversary, radioactive elements with immense destructive power will also be tainted by terrorists. The test site was in Ukraine, an enviable country. Although it was a test, the difficulty of the task was still quite high. Zhao Tiezhu tried to save the lives of other innocent civilians in the opera house while rescuing important personnel, but his identity was exposed. While dealing with the enemy, Zhao Tiezhu witnessed a miraculous scene of the recovery of bullet marks. This time, Zhao Tiezhu was only half-successful, and the primary mission goal was kept, but the opera house could not escape the fate of being blown up, and Zhao Tiezhu himself was captured. However, his unyielding backbone gave him a chance to enter the creed organization. This test is located at the beginning of the film, and its effect is a bit similar to Leonardo's attempt to steal Ken Watanabe's dream at the beginning of "Inception". Although the mission failed, the protagonist still demonstrated his outstanding strength.
Researchers from the Creed Organization believe that these retrograde objects are warnings sent back by humans in the future. If they are not controlled, people with ulterior motives will destroy the world through retrograde forces. Organizationally, Zhao Tiezhu has a partner named Niu Wufang, and everyone is used to calling him Neil. Tie Zhu and Xiao Niu followed the vines and found a big Indian boss. The circulation of reversed objects may be related to his arms business.
The Mavericks prepared the ropes for climbing stairs for him and Tie Zhu to sneak into the high-rise residences of the big boss in India. Although the Mavericks Batman is not as keen on climbing stairs as Spider-Man, he often wanders Gotham City with a bat hook gun. Climbing this kind of building is a piece of cake for him. After sneaking in, the two found that the big Indian boss they had touched was just a piece of melon skin, and his wife was the real talker. Zhao Tiezhu learned that the Indian female boss had another online presence, a Russian arms dealer.
The trip to Mumbai, India made Tie Zhu understand an important truth. These old men are not easy to use, and it is faster to start directly with their wives. The Russian wife took care of the business of art sales and appraisal for him. The husband makes ill-gotten wealth outside, and then subsidizes his wife or lover to open a gallery or the like, which can both cultivate sentiment and launder money. This has almost become a standard feature.
The Russian wife who made the artwork is very tall. For the sake of narration, she is referred to as Miss Gao hereinafter. Before contacting Miss Gao, Tie Zhu first visited an English nobleman. This aristocratic master was also a detective of the intelligence department when he was young. Although he had been a steward for many years after he retired, he was still young and possessed a lot of precious information. Tie Zhu got a high imitation painting from the noble master as a stepping stone for him to approach Miss Gao. In fact, this paragraph is entirely to give the old man Michael Caine a chance to show his face, with a little easter egg nature. I guess it’s because in the last "Dunkirk" the old man only gave his voice and did not show up. As a result, some markets, including China, did not buy it, and the box office results were average. So this time Nolan learned his lesson and gave the old man a high-profile appearance. Chance.
Although it is imitation, it is enough to emulate Zhao Tiezhu's background is not simple. He succeeded in attracting Miss Gao's attention, and the two had dinner together. Zhao Tiezhu's original intention was to hope Miss Gao could introduce him to the Russians, but he did not expect that the relationship between the couple was not good. The Russians often abuse Miss Gao, and she is not allowed to leave, otherwise she will never want to see her son again. The conflict between the couple broke out when their family was traveling in Vietnam on a yacht.
Miss Gao was thinking about sweetness with Tie Zhuyi, and a large group of Russian security guards rushed in. They believed that Tie Zhu was coming to green their boss, and took him to the kitchen to fix him. Miss Gao was also taken away forcibly, sitting in the car secretly sighing about her ill-fated fate, she finally met someone who seemed to have a deep background who could help herself out of the sea of misery, and she was going to be taken care of by her husband. Unexpectedly, Zhao Tiezhu walked out from the back door of the kitchen with ease. It turned out that the group of security guards hadn't bothered him.
Miss Gao rekindled hope for Tie Zhu, believing that he could help herself get rid of the Russians. After that, the two met again. From Miss Gao, Tie Zhu learned that many of the Russians' businesses were transited through a free port, where there was a Russian warehouse, which contained various goods including artworks. Mavericks pretends to be a customer interested in buying famous paintings and enters the Freeport warehouse to step on the spot. I learned from the guide that in the event of a major fire, all escape routes will be opened, which means that some hidden areas will be temporarily open, but at the same time the oxygen in the warehouse will be quickly drained, so the escape time is very limited. .
Based on the information that he heard, the Mavericks made a plan. He said he wanted to build a big plane. Tie Zhu asked him what kind of plane he was doing. The Mavericks answered that he would engage in a Boeing 747. Tie Zhu continued to ask him what he planned to do with this big plane. The Mavericks said he was going to blow up the plane. Tie Zhu said that you don't need to be so big, the crash is very troublesome. The Mavericks said that there was no need to crash, and they blew it up on the runway before takeoff.
In order to create an explosion, Tie Zhu and Mavericks brought another Curly Hair to help. The shot of the three people discussing the plan to bomb the plane was done at one time through the camera orbiting the three people. I guess the director did this to avoid playing back and forth. The first time Curly spoke, the camera turned to his front face, so I took it for granted that whoever spoke next would be turned out. It turns out that I thought too much.
Everything went according to plan. Curly and his assistant pretended to be workers catering to the plane, took the opportunity to control the plane, blasted a big hole in the plane, and threw a large amount of gold bars loaded on the plane down the big hole to create chaos. At the same time Turn around and crash into the warehouse. The plane exploded and crashed into the warehouse and brought fire. The emergency plan was activated. Tie Zhu and Xiao Niu took the opportunity to sneak into the hidden area of the warehouse and found a machine similar to X-ray filming. For the convenience of description, I simply call it X Light film shooting machine, or X machine for short. Although the two walked side by side to the machine, there was a layer of glass between them. The glass is full of bullet holes, heralding what will happen next.
The previously empty machine suddenly flashed out of a fully armed combatant, who fought with Zhao Tiezhu indiscriminately. The same mysterious person appeared on the other side of the glass and confronted the Mavericks. The difference is that Zhao Tiezhu's opponent is particularly weird, as if he is rewinding. The mysterious man pointed his gun at Zhao Tiezhu, and the bullets on the glass flew back into the barrel one after another. Zhao Tiezhu knew that he had this hand a long time ago, and dexterously avoided every bullet that flew from behind his head.
Both sides hit from the room to the corridor at the same time, and they kept hitting. At this time, my girlfriend whispered to me next to me whether the person who was fighting with him was himself. I hadn't thought about this before, but after her reminder, I immediately woke up. That's right, this is not the famous cliche of time-space travel theme-a mask that wants to cover up. In a movie set through time and space, if there is a person who keeps faceless, then he is either really a dead end or a character that the audience has seen and is very familiar with. The protagonist himself is most suspicious. At that time, I thought to myself, okay, now that the stalk is broken, shouldn't it be that the suspense is revealed in advance and the subsequent fun will decrease, right? After reading it all the time, I soon discovered that I was overwhelmed.
Halfway through the fight with the mysterious man, the Mavericks suddenly showed a surprised expression, and then stopped. On the other side, Zhao Tiezhu and his opponent scrambled all the way to the door. The mysterious man was restrained by Zhao Tiezhu. At this time, the Mavericks rushed over to organize Zhao Tiezhu to continue to inquire the mysterious man's identity. The mysterious man took the opportunity to roll out from under the rolling door.
Seeing the identity of the mysterious person here has been revealed, but I once thought that the two mysterious people are different people, Zhao Tiezhu and Xiao Niu each fought with their double body. Later, I realized that the two mysterious people were actually Zhao Tiezhu. The mysterious person who fought against Zhao Tiezhu in the current time and space was Zhao Tiezhu who was about to enter the X machine after returning from retrograde in the future. According to Zhao Tiezhu in the current time and space, all his actions are reversed, so this mysterious person did not emerge from the X machine out of thin air, but the process of disappearing out of thin air after he entered the X machine was turned upside down in the current time and space Zhao Tiezhu In front of him.
The so-called "disappearing out of thin air" does not really disappear out of thin air. The mysterious Zhao Tiezhu was moved to the other side of the glass. After the machine reversed again, his movements became negative and positive, and in the current time and space Zhao Tiezhu's view became normal again. The normal time axis should be a straight line, but when it hits the X machine, it can't continue forward, but will turn around and go back. The timeline of the mysterious Zhao Tiezhu is to walk from right to left, to the X machine at the far left, and then start to walk from left to right again. The timeline folds in half with the moment Zhao Tiezhu enters the X machine as the midpoint.
This action involved such a big battle, and even the plane exploded, but Zhao Tiezhu still failed to figure out the secret of the Russian counter-time technology. And Tie Zhu also suspected his partner Mavericks. The plan to bomb the plane came back in vain, and Tie Zhu felt that he still had to start with the Russian wife. He went to find Miss Gao again. Miss Gao was traveling in Greece with the Russians, and Zhao Tiezhu was also called to eat together. The Russian was arrogant, he seriously suspected that Zhao Tiezhu had a leg with his wife and wanted to pick Zhao Tiezhu's egg and put it in his mouth. This Russian doesn't allow others to miss his wife, but he likes to miss other people's wives very much. Back then, he used to treat another American agent Jack Klein's wife Anna Karenina awkwardly, worthy of a shame. His nirvana is to put light bulbs into other people's mouths. The skills have been strengthened and upgraded, and now they have become stuffed eggs into other people's mouths. In short, he must put something in others' mouths to make him comfortable.
Zhao Tiezhu mentioned the opera house and hinted at the Russians. He knew the inside story of the Ukrainian opera house attack in the first place. The most valuable spoil of the attack was the radioactive element plutonium 241 that was in the hands of the American dignitaries. With this thing, the Russian can complete his weapon of destruction.
After learning that Zhao Tiezhu might be related to plutonium 241, the Russians did not dare to act rashly. Their relationship changed from being suspected of being green and being green to being a good business partner of hello, me, and everyone. The Russian invited Zhao Tiezhu to ride a sailing boat with his couple to ride the wind and waves. Unexpectedly, his wife was the biggest wave. He threw this rushing wave into the sea while he was not paying attention, making him almost become a husband.
Zhao Tiezhu still needed the Russian to live to further explore the things in the reverse time, so he was caught up. This life-saving grace was of course a bonus item for Zhao Tiezhu on the Russian side. The two people talked about each other. Zhao Tiezhu took advantage of this opportunity to get important information, but Miss Gao was miserable. The Russian showed a pair of Lu Zhenhua playing snow. Auntie's posture requires domestic violence against her. Fortunately, Miss Gao is more savvy. She said that you beat me so hard, but when Zhao Tiezhu heard it, the business was disrupted, and the Russian stopped.
That night, Zhao Tiezhu sneaked out to watch the Russian pick up the goods, but was caught by the Russians' men. Probably the Russian had received a revelation from his future self, so in the face of this suspicious figure who was sneaky and still thinking about green himself, he once again resisted not killing him.
When Zhao Tiezhu was drinking with the Russians before, he learned the whereabouts of the radioactive elements that the Russians were thinking of, so he discussed with the Mavericks to get the things first. The vehicle escorting plutonium 241 was caught in the front, back, left, and right. Zhao Tiezhu took the opportunity to use the fire-fighting ladder to load explosives on the roof of the car, and then swung back to avoid the moment of blasting. When the roof burst, he swung back and grabbed it smoothly. Key items. This section of the driving treasure scene is a bit of "Mad Max". I don't know if Nolan's old partner Tang Lao wet provided inspiration. In fact, this film is also quite suitable for Tang Laoshi to play. There are a lot of scenes wearing oxygen masks. This setting of not showing the nose, mouth and only eyes is very suitable for Tang Laoshi's play.
The person wearing an oxygen mask soon appeared. Sitting in a car that always travels backwards, the Russians threatened Zhao Tiezhu with a gun at his wife and surrendered Plutonium 241. Not only did the car drove backwards, but the Russian was in a state of reversal. Under normal circumstances, people breathe in oxygen, but this effect is reversed in the reverse time state. The result of your subconscious breathing behavior is the continuous loss of oxygen, so you must always wear an oxygen mask. Of course, I guess that oxygen The mask is not an ordinary oxygen mask. Maybe its original function is to pump oxygen out. After the negative is positive, it can help people in the reversed state to maintain breathing. Therefore, as the first truly brand-new Hollywood blockbuster after the theater resumed work, "Creed" still has a certain sense of social responsibility and subtly promoted to the audience the necessity of wearing masks at all times.
The reverse chase scene made me a little creepy. The car that drove upside down reminded me of the zombies in the zombie film with twisted bodies and posing actions that are difficult for normal people to do. Of course, the first thing I thought of was not zombies, but Zhang Yifan's fold-up movements of the head and feet, and the body in "Creation Camp". This car chase uses common objects and common images to create an unusual and strange feeling.
In addition to the cars driving upside down, there are also cars with the chassis upside down on the road. As Zhao Tiezhu approached, the car actually turned back to the front on its own, and joined the scramble to snatch plutonium 241, but drove away by itself without shaking twice. Zhao Tiezhu threw the box containing plutonium 241 to the side of the road, and the Russian hurriedly dropped his wife and went to find the baby by himself. Zhao Tiezhu jumped into the reversing car at the very moment of his attack, stepped on the brakes and rescued Miss Gao. The deafening background music stopped abruptly with the brakes.
However, the crisis was not resolved, Zhao Tiezhu was captured by the Russians and led to a room equipped with an X machine. Across the glass, he saw that the Russian was pointing a gun at Miss Gao. His actions were extremely strange, and his mouth was talking ambiguous words. After machine translation, he could understand that the Russian was forcing the whereabouts of Plutonium 241. . He was surprised, because the two sides had already traded a few minutes ago, why did the Russian ask this question?
Soon Zhao Tiezhu realized that the Russian was in a state of reversal, and there were bullet holes in the glass, which meant that a bullet would soon fly back to the Russian gun’s barrel, or according to the Russian’s perspective, not long ago A bullet was shot by him just now. When the Russians forced Miss Gao to move to a position coincident with the bullet hole, this scene was staged in front of Zhao Tiezhu. He saw the bullet flying through Miss Gao's body back into the Russian gun's barrel.
Zhao Tiezhu, who wanted to understand the cause and effect, knew now that the Russians wanted to know the whereabouts of key items after the timeline was folded in half. If Zhao Tiezhu’s current time point is set as 0 o'clock, assuming that the Russians are retrograde back to the present time point from 10 minutes later, then the corresponding time point after half-folding is minus 10 minutes, which is 10 minutes ago, because It should take the same amount of time to drive back to the road from where several people are now (it has been assumed to be 10 minutes). The key item was in the car driven by Zhao Tiezhu and Mavericks. Zhao Tiezhu was worried that the Russians would further act against Miss Gao, so he gave the above information.
At this time, on the side of the glass, on the same side as Zhao Tiezhu, another Russian appeared beside him, asking about the same thing, but his movements and language were normal. Soon the Mavericks arrived with reinforcements, and the Russians on both sides disappeared at the same time. In fact, after the Russian guy in front of Zhao Tiezhu entered the machine, he became the Russian guy who tortured Miss Gao on the opposite side, and the Russian guy on the opposite side took Miss Gao into the car and became the one who drove backwards on the highway and snatched the box. Russians.
Miss Gao suffered a serious gunshot wound, and her life or death is uncertain. In order to save her life, Zhao Tiezhu decided to use the power of the X machine to reverse time. Unlike the time machine we are familiar with, the X machine in this film does not send people to a specified time, but changes the flow of time. When you enter the state of inverse time, you need to wait for the natural flow of time (reverse flow) to reach the point in time you want to go.
Taking Miss Gao into the X machine is to take the initiative to create a turning point on the timeline, and Miss Gao's injury will not deteriorate over time. Another purpose of reversing time is to prevent the Russians from snatching boxes. From this moment on, the film has truly entered into the no-urinary glorious passage that allows the audience to brainstorm throughout the entire process.
Zhao Tiezhu, who walked out of the X machine, was in a state of reverse time. He had to wear an oxygen mask and was accustomed to the instructions given by his brain to reverse movements. The vehicle that Zhao Tiezhu drove to chase the Russians was the mysterious car whose chassis was turned upside down in the road chase scene of the normal time before suddenly turned back to the front and ran into the suitcase grab. From the perspective of Zhao Tiezhu at this moment, we understand that he was driving the vehicle forward with a reverse motion to intercept the Russian, and he was knocked over. The Russian finally got what he wanted, and he didn't forget to light a fire, and wanted to kill Zhao Tiezhu with someone and a car.
Zhao Tiezhu here was just like after he was caught in the rescue operation of the Ukrainian Opera House. He should have died, but he opened his eyes on the hospital bed in the next second and found that he was unharmed. This time, the Maverick was guarding his bed. Obviously, it was the Maverick who rescued him in Ukraine at first. The latter was more familiar with the counter-time state and the use of counter-time ability than Zhao Tiezhu.
Zhao Tiezhu didn't appreciate it, but was even more suspicious that the Mavericks had something to hide from him. The two of them and the dying Miss Gao stayed together on a retrograde boat. The time flows inside and outside the cabin in the opposite direction. Once the three people leave the cabin, they must wear oxygen masks and force their bodies to do counter-movements. It’s not a problem to just wrestle with the outside world all the time, so Zhao Tiezhu and Xiao Niu decided to go to Freeport and use the X machine in the warehouse to make the three people’s bodies return to the outside world. A normal state with consistent flow.
The time when they arrived at Freeport was exactly the time when Zhao Tiezhu and Xiao Niu planned to use a plane explosion to sneak into the Freeport warehouse. The heavily armed Zhao Tiezhu met his original self as soon as he entered the door. The conjecture about the identity of the mysterious person in the first half of the film was confirmed here, and after reinterpreting it from the perspective of Zhao Tiezhu in reverse time, many action logics were also straightened out. It turned out that Zhao Tiezhu, who went straight to the X machine, was entangled by his past self. Of course, Zhao Tiezhu, who had experienced it again, knew that he was capable of avoiding these bullets in the past. A bullet that had been evaded hit the glass, leaving a bullet hole. I think that after the movie, if there are peripherals, in addition to the oxygen mask of Zhao Tiezhu, car glass membranes and mobile phone cases with bullet holes will also have a good market.
Masked Zhao Tiezhu finally rushed into the X machine, and after reversing again, his body recovered to the state of adapting to the normal time outside. As soon as he came out of the machine, he met the calf on the day of the bombing, and the two fought again. The Mavericks unintentionally took off Zhao Tiezhu's mask and understood what was going on, so he hurriedly stopped the Zhao Tiezhu who was on this timeline like himself, and told him not to pursue the masked Zhao Tiezhu who was in the chaos of time and space.
While the masked Zhao Tiezhu, who was a avatar with skill, was one enemy and two, the calf who came with him also took Miss Gao to complete another reversal, and all three returned to their normal state. Miss Gao was treated in time, and her life was recovered. Zhao Tiezhu finally learned that what the Mavericks was hiding from him was actually only seeing the future self in the warehouse that day. He did not disclose this information in order to avoid interfering with the normal operation of the timeline. The knot between the two was completely relieved, and they became true comrades in arms. So far, the story has progressed to a "false victory" on the side of the good.
Although Miss Gao's life was saved, the Russians also got all the key materials for assembling the destruction weapon. From Miss Gao, Zhao Tiezhu learned that the Russian guy was terminally ill, and he wanted to take the whole world to support him. Zhao Tiezhu visited the Indian female boss again, hoping to obtain more useful information in order to stop the Russians. As a result, the female boss told him that everything is God's will, everything is destiny, and no one can escape. Just as the rescue incident at the Ukrainian Opera House was just a test, Zhao Tiezhu and the Russians' battle of wits and courage, in the eyes of the female boss, is nothing but a scene that has already been written in the script. Domestic violence, emotions are often out of control, and the original business is not visible. These factors combine to determine that the Russian is a villain. However, a positive figure is needed to contend with him and make up a play. Zhao Tiezhu is the chosen "protagonist". Now that the play is over, and his mission has been completed, the world should be destroyed or destroyed. In other words, the world has already been destroyed.
The Russian has the ability to reverse the time. He has the whole family barrel of weapons of destruction at this moment, which does not mean that he can only use it at this moment. He can reverse time and go back to the past to use it. A dying person who is terminally ill will hope that life will be frozen in the best moment. According to the information provided by Ms. Gao, Zhao Tiezhu and others deduced that the day the Russians chose to destroy the world was the day when their family of three went to Vietnam to travel on a yacht. From that day on, the Russian temperament changed drastically. His way of destroying the world is to break the timeline of the entire world with a reverse time device, thereby destroying the future of mankind. Of course, according to his understanding, the way of life of mankind who fished out of the water would have been destroyed long ago.
The Russians' plan to destroy the world seemed unstoppable, but Zhao Tiezhu didn't believe in evil. He united the Mavericks and a special operations force proficient in reverse time technology to jointly formulate a combat plan, from both sides of the timeline, to capture the base where the Russians deployed the ultimate weapons of destruction. At the same time, Miss Gao has to pretend to be her past self and go to the Vietnamese yacht to stabilize the Russian, because the destruction weapon is connected to the Russian life detection device. Once he dies, the destruction weapon will be activated. Miss Gao said that she could only do her best. If she couldn't bear it anymore, she might have slaughtered the Russian guy first regardless of the three-seven-one.
The fortifications of the Russian secret base are made of special materials with anti-time characteristics, so there must be two teams to outflank the attack along different directions of the time axis, otherwise the blown up tower may be restored to its original state in the next second. The most amazing moment of the film is when the two teams, one forward and one reverse, are at the midpoint of the ten-minute countdown, that is, when the battle is in full five minutes, they fire on a building at the same time, let it bloom up and down, and ensure that it will never Superbirth.
After a fierce battle, Zhao Tiezhu, who was advancing along the timeline, broke into the underground facility where the world-killing weapons were arranged. There was already a corpse in his own military uniform lying here, making him familiar. The Russian's assistant was here assembling the world-destroying weapon. When he saw Zhao Tiezhu coming in, he dialed the boss's phone. The Russian guy who was in Vietnam and just got on the yacht was playing a plastic husband and wife relationship with Miss Gao, while speaking harshly to Zhao Tiezhu over the phone. He has endured this man who wanted to add some green to his head for a long time, and now he can finally get rid of him without hesitation.
The Russian assistant obeyed the boss's instructions and drew a gun to explode Zhao Tiezhu's head. The corpse on the ground suddenly stood up counterclockwise and blocked a shot. So becoming a corpse is an effect, and a cause is planted at this moment. The Mavericks who came back from time to time witnessed Zhao Tiezhu breaking into the underground facility, worried that he was in danger, and prepared a vehicle to pick him up early. On the Vietnamese yacht, Miss Gao, who was finally uncomfortable, drew her gun and shot the Russian, and then drove away. At this time, a lens of the ship's hull was given, reflecting the sparkling waves of the sea, as if the ship was melting. I thought this meant that the action failed, the timeline collapsed, and everything was wiped out. In the end, everything in the scene, Zhao Tiezhu had already dismantled the world-destroying weapon at the very moment.
Zhao Tiezhu, Mavericks, and the commander of the time-line outflank attack won the weapon of destruction and divided it into three equal parts to check each other to ensure that no one can master this weapon alone. The Mavericks handed his share to Zhao Tiezhu, turned and walked back to the underground facility. Zhao Tiezhu noticed an ornament that looked like a coin on Mavericks body, which was the same as the corpse that blocked his gun just now, and understood what he was going to do. Zhao Tiezhu wanted to persuade the Mavericks to turn around, but the latter smiled faintly and moved on without hesitation. Who can stop the young samurai from going to death?
If after reading it you feel that the above text is incomprehensible, then you are right. Because I also have a lot of details that I didn't understand. For example, the last male protagonist who participated in the two teams' outflank operation, I tend to think that his memory is a whiteboard, that is, he is at a time point earlier than most other events in the whole movie, and this protagonist is this one. The "indigenous people" on the timeline are not the traversers that the audience has been following. When he finally parted with Neal, he said that this was the starting point of our friendship. The starting point of the friendship between the protagonist and Neal that we are familiar with, even if not climbing the stairs together in Mumbai, should be returning to the scene of the bombing to understand the cause and effect. So I think this protagonist is a protagonist who hasn't had much life and death experience with Neal and is almost restored to factory settings. However, in the underground facility, the conversation between him and the villain appeared to be acquainted with each other, which contradicted my above inference.
Regarding whether the protagonist and his party have changed the destiny of mankind, my opinion remains unchanged. Both the protagonist and the villain are acting in accordance with the established script. No matter how they spin and jump on the timeline, everything is already predestined. From the perspective of someone who is completely unaware of the reversal of time, the Russians’ line of action should be like this: Vietnam travel—collecting extinction weapons and accessories—mysteriously missing (because they traveled to the past and died in After that, the wife and children who got rid of the shadow of domestic violence have lived a dull and happy life. Of course, I'm not saying that the protagonists do nothing. What I want to emphasize is that they didn't create new stories, they just made everything happen as planned, and the story was realized in a pre-written manner. So suppose the protagonist and a group of people do nothing, eat all the way and wait to die, will they lie down and win? The answer is no. They will definitely win, but they will definitely not lie down to win. Their character and experience have determined that they will come back a hundred times, and they will definitely make the same choice, the same positive action, and ultimately lead to the same result. There is only one timeline from beginning to end. For Nolan, parallel time and space are too trifling. Under the strict limitation of a single timeline, filling the gaps with information is challenging and therefore interesting.
In the opening rescue mission of the Ukrainian Opera House, when the bomb is about to explode and the protagonist runs out, the soundtrack has a few drum beats that are very similar to the main theme of the "Terminator" series. Of course, this may be just a coincidence, but it does not rule out the possibility of paying tribute. The "Terminator" series is one of the most classic time-traveling stories. I guess Nolan’s preference for the "Terminator" series should be different from most people. If it were him, the one who rated the highest might not be the "Ending" which was highly creative in terms of visual effects and was able to impress the audience with his strong family affection. "Terminator 2", but "Terminator 1" with more B-level film quality, because "Terminator 1" is a typical single timeline. Although there is a traversal, the traversal does not create a parallel timeline, but attaches to the original timeline to form a closed loop. From the perspective of time travel alone, the first part of the "Terminator" series reached its peak, and the second part relied on stronger genre elements to reach new heights, but there is not much new in the application of the concept of time travel. . This kind of series that started from crossing the stalks, today when crossing the stalks has been rotten to the street, seems more and more lack of stamina. Perhaps it can only be done like "Creed", not taking parallel time and space out to be lazy, but clinging to a timeline. , Hard wear, all details are tightly closed, in order to reactivate the charm of transcending themes.
Whether Nolan pays tribute to "Terminator" is hard to say, but I think his new film is a kind of tribute to himself. In the end, the red and blue action teams cooperated with each other in the opposite direction of the time axis to perform tasks, and met at the midpoint of the ten-minute countdown. This plot is easily reminiscent of Nolan’s early work "Shards of Memory." That movie is also the timeline that converges from both ends to the middle and finally converges. The original title of this article ("Remnants of Memory") is also derived from this origin of the two films. However, the fragments are macroscopic rewinds, and the inside of each fragment is still forward; while "Creed" is a microscopic rewind, the unit of rewinding is the material of the particle level smaller than the fragments, which can be said to be more fragmented than the fragments. Of slag. You can say that this kind of self-respect has a bit of fried rice, but from another perspective, this matter can also be very inspirational: a director who has always been persistent in creating creation, after finally mastering the enviable right to speak in the field of film, He did not hesitate to come up with more advanced technology and more abundant resources to sculpt and polish the precious ideas of his youth.
The bullet flew back to the gun with the trigger pulled. The lingering blurry image in Director Nolan's mind drove him to make the film "Creed", which was shared with countless audiences through the medium of film. The iconic picture of the film is imprinted in everyone's minds. With the same pistol, the bullets fired from the inside out, and everyone saw it a lot; changing the direction to sucking from the outside in, everyone felt refreshed. It’s certainly not as enjoyable to see the bullets shot penetrate the human body as if the bullets inhaled penetrate the human body. It's like playing "God of War". The axe that flies out will split the mobs along the way when it is recalled. Of course, it is much cooler than hacking with an axe or throwing an axe to attack. The action design of "Creed" has a sense of play, but it is not trifling. Nolan still insists on his consistent pursuit of real texture. Faithfully restore the material reality of the future civilization with tangible things.
The game feel of Nolan's film is not only reflected in the action design, but also in the layout of the plot. Watching Nolan’s movies is always like playing a guessing game. This is an intellectual competition between the audience and the creator, and it is a very fair and just competition, because the creator presents the key clues to the puzzle to the audience, even if If you fail to solve the puzzle, everyone will only blame yourself for not looking carefully, instead of blaming the dealer for cheating.
I used to disagree with the so-called "brain-burning film" concept, especially I don't think Nolan is a so-called brain-burning professional. Nolan, as I understand it, is an extremely successful genre film director. He understands the market and the audience, so he will never deliberately make the movie obscure in order to pretend to [BEEP]. The previous Nolan movies were not mind-burning, and would only make most of the audience slightly unable to keep up with the ideas of the creators, but he would also leave you enough time for you to have the opportunity to come to your realization with your own talents, and then produce "this Although I lost again this time, it was only slightly worse. If I work hard next time, my IQ should be close to Nolan's illusion.
However, this "Creed" is different from all Nolan's previous works. I admit that this is a real brain-burning film. Its brain-burning point is not how complicated the plot is (although the plot is indeed very complicated, but this is not important), but that this movie requires the audience’s eyes and brain to constantly adjust their past viewing habits to adapt to those that are due to reverse time. A set of strange actions and images full of incongruity that exist in the film. This kind of film that just instills information into your brain through the eyeballs makes your brain hot due to excessive calculations. Of course, it is a veritable brain-burning film, and it is more purely brain-burning than a brain-burning story that only relies on narrative tricks. piece.
In the early days, Nolan was classified as a suspense film director. His works are the same as most suspense films. The main thing for everyone to evaluate is the story. The audience is the participant of the guessing game. In fact, each movie has only the "story" topic. Available for practice. For a movie like "Creed", every action may make the audience feel a little surprised when watching it, and try to clarify the logic behind it with a little thought; once successfully understood, the sense of accomplishment is no better than understanding a story. Bad, and a movie can accommodate countless details of such actions for the audience to enjoy, which is equivalent to providing countless small questions waiting for the guessers to solve. As long as you concentrate on watching, even if the story is not understood, you can still gain a sense of accomplishment in the process of cracking the "small questions" and keep your brain in a high-speed state. Burning brain tablets will not burn the brain, it will only burn more vigorously and sharply.
Finally, I would like to compliment Robert Pattinson, the second male number in this film. His role in the film is a bit like that in the previous Nolan movies. The difference is that Jaycef is usually silent and low-key, faithfully playing the protagonist's helper. And Neil in this film may be radiant and radiant because of more smiles, even overshadowing the protagonist. When he was young, he was prejudiced because of "Twilight", and now he finally got his looks. In addition, in recent years, I have watched him constantly break through himself in art films, and found that he is a very aspiring young man. And this time, as a new generation of Batman actor and cooperating with the director of the most successful "Batman" series of movies of this century, I have a hunch that he will be like opening up the two lines of the governor, for the subsequent restart of "Batman" Bring surprises.
