"The Matrix II"
Morpheus in "The Matrix" gets thinner? This shot has learned "The Matrix" in both the scenery and special effects (lightning outside the window), and the name of "Morpheus" was removed and the initials were changed to "Orpheus". Pay attention to Orpheus's sunglasses, and Mo Like Fez, it has no temples and is only fixed by a special frame to clamp the bridge of the nose. Of course, Eddie Griffin, who plays Orpheus, is less aggressive than Lawrence Fishburne. When Eddie Gaffey, who looked rather comical, took off his sunglasses and said seriously "I am Orpheus", it was really exciting.
"8 Miles"
Does this white guy look like Eminem? The way to wear the hat, the way to hold the microphone, and the Hip-Hop gestures are all adequate.
But what is even more absolutely is his dialogue: "I have a dream.", "What is your dream?", "to have a dream" ("I have a dream", "What is it?", "I have a dream." One day I can have my own dream").
Speaking the most absurd things in the most serious manner is one of the definitions of humor.
"Small Island"
This film imitates one of the scariest scenes in "Small Island": the little girl is possessed by an old woman. But. the moment the white cloth was uncovered, it turned out to be the face of Michael Jackson! The image is so real that it can really deceive many people (the actor's name is Edward Moss). A friend like the author asked me, is this really Michael Jackson or is someone imitating him? The next line of this "fake Michael Jackson" seems to allude to the pedophile he has been criticized for many years. It is said that Michael Jackson himself has asked the film company to delete this part of the film, otherwise it will be He went to court.
Serious gimmick
Parody is an important subject in movies. Its role is sometimes equivalent to MSG. Adding it can enhance the original tasteless dishes. In other cases, it is the main interest component of the movie. The "Scream" series undoubtedly belongs to the latter.
Parody is no stranger to mainland movie fans. Many of Stephen Chow's films can be described as the best parody textbooks. Especially "Domestic Lingling Paint", from the English title, to the title design, to the plot setting (Ling Lingqi always flirts with the female secretary before entering the commander's office is an example), to the soundtrack, everyone has watched " The people in the 007 movie laughed over. It can be said that if you are completely ignorant of the routines and details of the "007" movie, the pleasure of watching "Guo" movies will be reduced by more than half.
In addition to the famous parody in the Hollywood movie circle, there is also "Austin Power" (Austin Power) in addition to the "Scream" series. This set of vulgar + funny, Camp-flavored movies seems to be riveted. After two consecutive episodes of "007" and the movie "007", after parodying the title of the "007" movie, the third episode of "Gold Finger" (Gold Finger) was named "Goldmember", which caused "007". The studio was unhappy, and even got to go to court, but in the end, "Psions" finally won and obtained the "parody right."
The concept of "spoof"
Speaking of parody, I have to mention the concept of "spoof". This adjective sometimes referred to as "Kuso" in Japanese in Taiwan is the same as most new-generation vocabulary. It obviously belongs to a category that can only be unspeakable: everyone understands it, and everyone can't explain it. Generally speaking, it is a kind of "serious gimmick". The most topical spoof movie of late is undoubtedly "Kill Bill". The parody of "Kill" obviously belongs to another level. It is not a simple imitation of a certain scene in a certain movie, but a "spoof copy" of a style. Therefore, "Kill" is a movie for movie lovers. If you don't know the ins and outs of the various European and American movie genres and styles, wanting to understand the beauty of "Kill" is nothing less than a dream.
So far, parody seems to be just one of the more inconspicuous film techniques, but the release of "Kill Bill" may become a watershed. If you want to create a new genre, you must first surpass all existing genres. Behind the parody/spoof is the blending and transcendence of various styles and types. I believe that the value of parody movies will be re-evaluated.
