In fact, the director of "2012" Emmerich is the director of "Independence Day" and "The Day After Tomorrow",
but to be honest, I want to watch it again. Even if you dismissively say that this is a magic stick movie, the production cost of hundreds of millions of dollars is put there, just like the Beijing Olympics. Whatever the private hum haha, his opening was very visually striking and successful. The military parade is also a reason. The theme of "2012", whether you like it or not, is not to be missed if you want to see a visual blockbuster that is impacted.
I was looking forward to checking ODEON's movie schedule on Friday, and was disappointed to find that "Avatar" has not been released this week. Forget it, watch "2012", I encouraged myself several times. One movie a week anyway. Long pain is worse than short pain, you went to see it today, the big deal is that you are depressed for a day today. You procrastinate for a few weeks before going, but you still go, and you struggle for a few more weeks.
I chose the one at 12 noon. For nothing else, one is that there are few people. One is to ensure that I finish reading before 5 o'clock, and I have to buy food before the supermarket closes at 5 o'clock. The last time I watched "Watchmen", I miscalculated. After watching it after 5 o'clock, I had no food at night.
In fact, I probably know that the plot of the movie is related to solar storms and belongs to the category of astrophysics and geophysics. How scientific is not my specialty, I just look at the plot and acting. As a result, within 10 minutes of the opening, I started to cry. Although the cry point is low, it is not so. Mainly because I saw the scene in the Louvre examining "Mona Lisa's Smile", which made me feel bad. For me, the most painful thing is not to see the loss of life, but to see the demise of civilization. I feel sad about the pain in the face of the end of the world, when humanity begins to take stock of the heritage of civilization. Just like in the 2006 remake of the movie "The Sinking of Japan", all the cultural relics of Zhengcangyuan were packed in boxes and shipped to China or the United States, which is a real feeling of doomsday. If you ask me now (I can't guarantee that when death really comes, I will kowtow like smashing garlic in fear of peeing my pants), either you will be on the ark, or you will leave your position to the Four Sheep Square Zun or the Jade Clothes? I'm definitely getting off the boat. Later, when I saw that they transported the statue of David to the ark, I felt a little more comfortable. Of course, some people may criticize me for being cold-blooded, and I don't deny it.
The visual effects are truly unprecedented, and certainly not the last. It's definitely the number one scene this year. "Transformers 2" compared to it seems childish. Really shocking. Rio de Janeiro, California, Vatican City. . . In the end, the USS Kennedy, the most important tool of violence to safeguard the national interests of the United States, was smashed to the White House, the symbol of American politics. The pillars representing the American political spirit and worldview have been destroyed before the White House. The destruction of the White House is a scene that symbolizes the destruction of political civilization in physical form. And economic civilization has long preceded this scene and ended with the collapse of countless skyscrapers.
The last is the spiritual civilization of human beings. Logically speaking in the movie, that Tibetan Buddhist temple should be the last real symbol of human spiritual civilization. The Vatican has been destroyed in the movie. The rest such as Mecca, Jerusalem, Istanbul, Qufu, Kyoto, etc. are estimated to have been erased long ago. So when the flood crossed the Himalayas and washed away the Buddhist temple, it was the last blow of the catastrophe in the symbolic sense, and it was also the deadliest blow. Can human beings be called human if they have no spiritual things?
The leaders of the great powers in the movie, only the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Italy refuse the chance to survive and live and die with the country. The arrangement of the President of the United States is easy to understand. This is a kind of inertial thinking of American blockbusters, just like the president who piloted a fighter jet in "Independence Day". It was said in the movie that he was the last president of the United States of America, which is understandable. Interestingly, the president, like reality, is a black man. In addition, why did the choice of the prime minister of Italy add to that sense of tragic and solemnity? I think this is also easy to understand. The Vatican or Rome is the symbol of Christianity, the most important core part of the entire Western civilization. Although Christianity was born in Jerusalem, when it is really considered in terms of Western Europe or Western civilization, the center is still Rome. This civilization covered all of Europe, America, Oceania and most of Africa. Therefore, the Italian Prime Minister also has a sense of tragic and solemnity arising from the coexistence and death of the Holy See and the people. For all people from the background of Western civilization, the emotion and heart-touching generated are unparalleled by choosing the leaders of France or Germany to play the role.
It seems that the film is released at the same time domestically and globally, which is absolutely politically correct for our country. The movie is very pleasing to the face-loving Chinese people, and it is estimated that many people will watch it very comfortably when it is released in China. It is said that there are many places to laugh. For example, the Russian pilot said "go to China", which doesn't feel any strange when you watch it abroad. Why does it make you laugh when you watch it in China? I can't explain why. Maybe the people in China are interested in seeing things they are familiar with in Hollywood blockbusters. Just like the "suspected" queen couple with three dogs in the movie, many British people also snorted when they saw it.
Similar to most of the disaster sci-fi-themed blockbusters in recent years, black people, and other non-mainstream races, are gaining weight in movies. There are frequent scenes of black people or other people of color saving the world. In addition to black people, this film also has prominent depictions of Indians and Tibetans. We may pay more attention to the PLA and the Bayi emblem on helicopters. People from other countries are more impressed by lamas and Tibetan people. This represents a western cultural trend today. Overall, the film politics is very harmonious, in line with the characteristics of commercial films. It is hoped that the domestic release will not only be released at the same time, but also cut across the board.
With a low crying point, I cried all the way until I saw another big iron law in effect - no matter how many people died, dogs can't die (except for "I Am Legend"). Also, what do you want to be yourself? It is definitely too late to go back to the country, and there is no way to go back. Let's go to the British Library and destroy it together. It suits my taste and is close to the school. The movie is 2 and a half hours long, which is quite compact and does not drag on. After reading it, I have a big impression. The Russians in it are all pure men, just now!
In the end, I feel that it is actually unnecessary to watch a commercial blockbuster and compare the plot to the truth. Just like eating sauce skeleton or stewed vermicelli with pork, the consideration is the refreshing taste, not the true color, appearance, delicacy and so on. I also agree that there are a lot of vulgar things in the movie, such as the hero's car falls, and he can climb up. And finally, everyone waited for a long time and Dad finally came back and so on. Actually, I don't think it is necessary. But any film that considers commercial value must consider the needs of two audiences. The black uncle who regards death as his home, the White House group that coexists and perishes with the people, the family of Indian scientists and the Italian Prime Minister Holy See are left to a group of audiences. Leave the seemingly vulgar and old-fashioned suspense to another audience, mostly women. This business is more balanced. I once went to see "The Wounded City" with a girl, and halfway through that child, he was constantly wondering whether Tony Leung would die or not. I don't know if Tony Leung will die, but he definitely won't die at that time, because it's only halfway through. So that's it, these settings are appealing to women. Attracting women, the box office is more than half guaranteed. So watch "2012" and have a good time, don't go too far with the so-called logic. If I were the director, discuss it with the commercial director, and I would do the same.
