The movie tells the story of a young man from waste material Scott has an unsuccessful band, a girlfriend of a high school student who is five years younger than him, and an embarrassing relationship that is still buried in my heart, and his life is simple and unremarkable. When the chance of success for the band and her love at first sight came to him at the same time, he had to face a series of problems caused by breaking up with his little girlfriend, and these problems were only the beginning-because seven ex-boyfriends who liked girls were positive The menacing killer came over.
The number one reason I like this movie is that it is so cool. This film has injected more vitality on the basis of implementing Edgar Wright's image style. Fast comedy editing has always been Edgar Wright’s strengths, but limited to the constraints of the previous subject matter, he can always only make interesting and flexible editing on relatively rigid shooting materials; and in this movie he aimed the lens at the millennium. A generation of young people used a lot of CG to fully release their imagination, and unearthed the surprise of each original dull material: the Universal Pictures logo at the beginning was replaced by a pixel style, which made the band's shock and change. It becomes a visible entity, and even visualizes the sound of the band fighting the piano as King Kong vs. Flying Dragon... This visual effect should not even be called "caricature", more precisely, it should be "gamification" to defeat myself. Hello, drop gold coins, defeat the boss, drop equipment, get through the game and embrace the beauty. When the game of the same name was released in the same year, when scenes from the movie appeared on the PS3 screen, the movie became more like a game or a game more like a movie. Difficult questions to choose. And all these extreme gamification influence styles not only occasionally make the main millennial audience of the film smile, but also use these exaggerated and unrealistic influence materials to greatly shorten the distance between the film content and these audiences. Of course, it is undeniable that this kind of eclectic imaging attempt also brought him a lot of trouble. The most important thing is the tremendous increase in the difficulty of recovering costs. According to statistics, the investment budget of this film reached 85 million US dollars, and the global box office only US$47.66 million was recovered. Most of the main audiences in the theater are middle-aged people. Most of them find it difficult to enjoy such a youthful and throbbing movie. For them, such an exaggerated image brings more aesthetic fatigue. "Naive" is a simple summary of this image style. The duality of comments makes it more for those who love it, and it's even harder for those who don't love it.
I like this movie. Another aspect is the video content that puts aside the noise of the story, and I see more of Edgar Wright's careful observation of millennials and his simple thinking about love. The protagonist of the film, Scott, is just a complete waste from beginning to end: there is no serious job, no serious residence, and even no serious attitude (someone has done statistics for the whole movie and Scott has said whatever dozens of times). For the sake of love at first sight, I can kick the good girl without burden, and for my own happiness, I don't care about the band friends at all. Even the negative personality at the end of the film is no different from myself. When we followed Scott's process of defeating one evil ex-boyfriend and put this character into the role of a hero, we found that simple right or wrong judgments have been difficult to find answers in Scott or millennials. That is, the image of Scott that Edgar Wright really wants to portray represents that the millennials who have grown up in contemporary society are becoming more and more difficult to define, and it is increasingly difficult to find the answer using past evaluation standards. This is The new generation, under the premise of rapid economic development, the superstructure is shifting towards a younger direction. At the same time, when it comes to love, I would rather believe that the love in the movie was inspired by Edgar Wright. When the "younger" insists on bleaching and dyeing his hair and learning to dress like a "mature woman", love makes self happen quietly. Change, and the id has not gained love, how can the abnormal id be loved?
The last aspect I like about this movie is the cast that I think is the least important and most interesting to most viewers. Regarding this movie, the cast resident knows the topic of "Which movie did not pay much attention at the time and later found that the cast is extraordinarily luxurious?" The frequency of mention is second only to "True Love First". I would rather believe that Edgar Wright’s house in his bones accurately found Chris Evans, Brandon Rose and other regulars in comics and TV series for this film, and even Brie Larson, the future Captain Marvel. . The baby-faced McSerra, who plays the protagonist Scott, is always criticized for being too soft. According to the original book, Scott should be more chic; and for me, the little boy who always talks about whatever in "Development Blocked" is probably Is the actor most suitable for this role in Edgar Wright's mind?
