If I were a young man, I would not listen to what the old people said.
See Li Ang's wife Lin Huijia all walking to the front of the platform, for Li Ang (new film) platform. Many people once again felt that Ang Lee's film career has come to the most dangerous moment.
Before that, fans knew well about Lee's life story. The danger in his life was that he was unemployed and was raised by his wife for many years. Another crisis was "Hulk", which was a double hit at the box office.
In my opinion, this is just normal gains and losses. Every film director's career has its ups and downs. The real danger Li Ang encountered was at an awards ceremony last year. He clasped his hands tightly, clasped helplessly, embarrassed, and did not applaud. Otherwise, today’s "Gemini Killer" may become another piece of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"-and here and now, it is considered the last chance to save "Gemini Killer".
I'm not surprised that many people trumpeted "Gemini Killer" when the media was released in advance a month ago.
Because of the participation of Chinese capital (you can see the LOGO in the title), plus a lot of budget investment, according to the operation process of a commercial film, even if there is no word-of-mouth, "Gemini Killer" can get some twists of praise.
But speaking of it, the propaganda rhythm of "Gemini Killer" still hasn't gotten rid of the dilemma of "Billy Lynn", except for technical vocabulary such as 120 frames, 3D, 48 frames or 60 frames, except for Ang Lee HD Smooth II. Please take care of your criticism. The story of the secret agents in "Gemini Killer" is almost as old as the dead bones in the basement of Budapest.
You will definitely say that such a film is not for watching the story at all.
However, some film reviews have pulled out the red-and-white plastic flower of the father-killing complex. I think it's ridiculous to use the author's theory to set "Gemini Killer". This is a commercial film that is trying to make you cool, with amazing brightness, smooth and smooth pictures (provided that you find a good screen), just like a POV killing game experience.
There is no deepening of Will Smith's heart in this movie. He only needs to play an invincible assassin agent who has a past, has never missed, and exists. Such a character template for serving the country and anti-liquidating can be Bond or Wolf Warrior.
In the movie, there are conspiracy bosses who walk through the scene: one is stupid, the other is stupid, and the other is drinking and drinking with soy sauce.
And, an indispensable and capable female partner, an old friend who gets a lunch on a yacht, and another old friend who gets a lunch on a plane.
You will often see these characters in other spy films. In short, don't easily become friends with the protagonist. Otherwise, the deeper the friendship, the more miserable you will die.
Of course, in commercial movies, we can know the next second with our eyes closed for these bridge segments. But the most speechless thing about "Gemini Killer" is probably the set of suspense, which can hardly be called suspense. Whether it's the appearance of the young and strange little Shi Huang, and the final appearance of Ultraman, who is not afraid of fire. I can't guess what they are like, but I think they must be the audience of the last century. Hollywood has repeated at least a dozen or so of such themes as "Deadly Magic" and other movies.
Regardless of father killing or cloning, they are not what Li Ang cares about. The highlight of this movie is those ambushes, stalking, street chases, guns and flowers baptism hardware store grocery stores, full screen potato chips fried popcorn. The film keeps trying to tell you that we play more real than other movies, and it is an immersive reality. However, from the moment I walked into the cinema, from the moment I saw the young Emperor Shi Huang, anyone can be as convinced as I am that they are "fake".
There is a paradox here. The audience is not able to enter the story because of how many milliliters of blood they should have. Otherwise, the movie opening reminder that reminds you not to take pictures and videos, and not to talk on the phone, should be shot at 120 frames.
No matter how real the picture of "Gemini Killer" is, what I am thinking about is that the firepower so powerful that it is so overwhelming that you can't hit your two active human targets. When it comes to the anti-killing small unit, I think the protagonist's halo is much better than the Gemini Lab that leaked the plot.
The strange thing also includes that in the layout design of these paragraphs, you can hardly say that "Gemini Killer" has the technical advantage over other spy films. At most you think the pores on your face are bruised and bloodshot. Street motorcycle chasing is like playing acrobatics. The game is so skilful, you can see everything, and it's refreshing, but in the real life and danger, "Gemini Killer" can't get rid of those indestructible routines. Why can't you die, because if you die, nothing will happen. As for the whimsical conspiracy, you can guess it even if you don't watch a movie. Compared to the real ugly face, commercial films are still too refined. The source of the sense of sophistication is the common problem of secret agents not to slap their faces and hair styles.
It is not necessary for Ang Lee to make a movie about the story of the agent. Unfortunately, this movie was made by Ang Lee. I talked about things like 120 frames. I won’t be able to enter the so-called "real movie feeling" because of more beautiful guns, greater firepower, bloodshot bruises, missing arms and legs. On the contrary, I would be wondering, I can't hit it even if it's all like this? At the same moment, I was still thinking about what I would always think of watching other popcorn films: the protagonist's halo is the strongest weapon .
On the way Li Ang headed towards 120 frames, Nolan and Quentin stuck to the film specifications, even 70mm. My personal viewing habits still don’t like 3D. Although Ang Lee successfully resolved that 3D would be dark, after thinking about it, I always feel that this is a conspiracy of movie hardware equipment vendors.
For example, I like "Apocalypse Now" and "Full Metal Shell", but they cost a lot of money and tortured the actors. There is no option to replace them with a more authentic format.
What I mean is that, considering the quality of a movie, the audience will encounter sorrows, joys, touches, or torture. They may be affected by technology, but technical specifications are never the decisive factor. Otherwise, it is difficult for you to explain. In the era of video studios, we can watch Hong Kong movies that are not as good as 360p slag quality. The tired audience today is the 24-frame experience or the image bombardment of collective aesthetic decline.
In "Gemini Killer", did Will Smith's inner choice touch me?
No.
Between him and his friends, whether a heart-wrenching test was staged.
No.
Is it painful to kill yourself?
maybe.
Would it be uncomfortable to kill "father"?
will not. The audience wanted to shoot more than anyone else and let his long talk come to an end.
Old Martin believes that commercial blockbusters will continue to occupy movie theaters and turn them into game halls, like Marvel series, creating wonders and illusions. Art films without a protection policy will go to streaming media to find their own audience.
Whether human beings fall in love with movies because they are true or false. Early humans would be frightened when they saw the images of activities because they thought it was real. Audiences who have grown up in the age of diapers, from mobile phone screens to IMAX, have gradually lost their judgment on true or false images, and have also fallen into aesthetic barrenness. Otherwise, it is difficult for you to explain why people are willing to take good photos and videos with high-definition lenses, and after a lot of whitewashing, they have become dummies with mud and legs, and fake faces painted with white walls.
For me personally, I know that the movie is fake, and I am moved by the heart-wrenching parting and hope that I am in the movie. As for entering the movie theater, it is just a sense of ritual, and it is the feedback to the film workers that enables the art form of film to be completed in a closed loop. A more real cinematic sense, this kind of technical determinism, is ineffective to me. Their impact is far less important than when the lights are dimmed and the escape into the darkness is more important.
