I just say a few words

"Escape from New York", also known as "The Great Escape from New York", was filmed by Lao Mei on June 24, 1981.

To be honest, this movie really didn’t take the title. The name is a science fiction movie. It’s just a beginning. It’s just an action movie, and overall, the whole movie is disappointing. It’s too easy to watch. Worse.

The story tells that New York in 1997 has become a big prison, with a large group of rogue lunatics, all desperadoes for more than...

Seeing the end, it suddenly dawned on me that this is an anti-war movie

The title of a hero is in exchange for his life. People who have truly been heroes may never want to have a second time in their lives.

At that time, the Vietnam War had a great impact on American soldiers. After the war, the soldiers came back lingering, their comrades-in-arms died. What do people want when they come back? They don't want hero titles, and they don't need the government to satisfy any of their wishes. They only want those...

The concept is good, but the money is not enough

       Most of John Carpenter’s movies are very crude, but the crude movies cannot conceal the director’s talent. This guy has a clumsy idea, not only can shoot and write, but also score the music. For example, the main theme of this film is very good, electronic music. , Sonorous and powerful, the soundtrack in "Blood on the 13th Police Station" is also very good, in short, this guy can always use a small amount of poor funds to make everyone surprises, this "New York Escape" is the...

Afterthought

After watching the movie, I feel that it is such a small cost, and the special effects naturally cannot be too demanding. It is already very good to be able to create such a dark and illusory city. Carpenter's own soundtrack is in line with the weird keynote of the film, and should be of the highest standard in his soundtrack works. In addition, considering the future of the film, and compared with the performances of other actors, Ernest Borgnine's old-school performance style is really a...

[Film Review] Escape from New York (1981) 6.5/10

American B-movie doyen John Carpenter's anarchic, semi-cyberpunk rhapsody has a high concept to convert the entire Manhattan Island into a lifer's prison, peopled with all types of lowlife from crime lord to nocturnal “crazies”, then thrusts a POTUS-rescue plot within a one-day stretch, and our one-eyed protagonist, the ex-Special Forces soldier Snake Plissken (Russell) grudgingly knuckles down for...

8/10. Showing the future world with the sloppy and bloody similar to B-grade films: the costumes are full of street stalls and gaudy wigs, the streets are like a stage set full of junk, and gangsters with action logic like zombies are constantly pouring out to kill the protagonist. The rhythm of the film is good, and the chilling atmosphere is created to grab people's hearts. The flaw is that the action scenes are not good. The fights are typical of the clumsy and cyber flavor of the...

There is no sci-fi with special effects, and the fantasy time is not far away, so I feel that the sci-fi is not enough. But the male lead's skills are still improved a...

The rights center is reduced to a safari park. The beginning was very exciting, I thought it was the reverie of Diaosi's counterattack. Guess it was just another Rambo show with a concave shape and pretending to be...

AKA: A guide to how to build a punk-filled B-movie setting in the '80s for a fraction of the cost. It may be the same as the essence of the president: don't worry too much, you can be...

The sets and photography succeeded in producing some beautiful moments, but it was still a game. Carpenter always builds the world in a continuous dance, but in this film, the continuous rhythm is constantly interrupted by the level, which also dissolves the beauty of the image. There's a lot of movement in Carpenter's films, but little...
