Character Evaluation
Paul Anderson's films, on the one hand, have extremely significant commercial operations in terms of formal characteristics, focusing on scenes, technology and other factors; on the other hand, their video practice shows a "fine narrative mode" and rational use of the narrative framework. The strategy is precisely because the film closely responds to the "mode call" in the narrative structure, which guarantees the effect of the image. Therefore, grasping the characteristics of Paul Anderson's film narrative mode can basically grasp the soul of his film. His works choose typical commercial narrative strategies, with a tendency of "plot first". Regardless of whether it is "Mortal Kombat" or "Resident Evil", although the content is different and the evaluation is different, the narrative methods are consistent and regular, that is, seeking popular stories and themes as the main content, approaching "Hollywoodization" The narrative fun and routines of "" use various stimulating plot frames to cater to the viewer, with entertainment rather than aesthetic creation and art appreciation as the main purpose. Compatible and complementary to this story frame is the deliberately displayed visual effects on the lens, showing the regularization of the drama and the sharp and cool narrative rhythm .
