Robocop

Once upon a time, the 1987 Dutch director Verhoeven's "Robocop" influenced a generation of science fiction movie lovers! What's even more rare is that in mainland China, where information was still very closed at the time, this sci-fi film, which was originally shot very violent and had a slight cult style, was miraculously introduced into the cinema! Chinese moviegoers of that era could even hear Officer Murphy voiced by Mr. Tong Zirong! "Robocop", a film with low cost and not gorgeous special effects but very convincing, achieved great success in the world at that time. Not only a number of sequels (although the quality is very poor!) and TV versions have been derived, but also peripheral products such as toys, comics and video games. The product cycle spanned almost the entire world in the late 1980s and mid 1990s. In today's Hollywood special effects and filmmaking levels are more technologically advanced, the original ability of editors and producers is becoming more and more exhausted. Remaking classic movies is undoubtedly the easiest and time-sensitive way. Therefore, the emergence of the new "Robocop" is a normal business behavior. It's just that the effect of the current film project is not optimistic.
Out of the principle of not over-renovating the original work, we saw a rather awkward Robocop setting. While the black paint adds originality, it minimizes the metal texture of the original work to the greatest extent. It's more like some kind of armor and metal coat, and the robot content is decreasing. . . The success of the "Iron Man" series has made the metal armor, which used to be replaced by makeup special effects in Hollywood, become more modern and shocking because of the excellent integration of computer effects! But at the same time, it also made the audience have a preconceived tendency to similar styles of metal coats (armor), and unfortunately, the new version of "Robocop" just appeared in such a stall. So for those younger audiences (rookies, say you!), the film's appeal will obviously suffer. The "Robocop" in 1987 can be liked and recognized by the audience. Its real value is not only the meme of robot control, but the film discusses the problems of social reality and the relationship between man and the machine itself. Topic, in a commercial sci-fi film, these issues worthy of analysis and discussion are closely integrated in every paragraph of the film, neither too profound nor to remind the audience from time to time that this is by no means a film just to stimulate your visual nerves And the movies that exist! Therefore, in order for the new version of "Robocop" to be successful, the characters and plots in the original work must be retained and played, and the plot must be in harmony with the spirit of the original work. And how exactly this part is done, we can only know at first sight when the movie is released. Under the premise that the special effects scenes of this film are currently uncharacteristic, this part of the drama will become its biggest scoring item, we will wait and see!
