Dwayne Johnson led the original team to fight Yumanji again. In addition to the familiar jungle, giant python, and man-eating hippopotamus, this time the game plot and customs clearance difficulty have been fully upgraded! Among them are the overwhelming ostrich flocks in the desert. There are exotic towns where three religions and nine streams are mixed, as well as pontoon bridges between cliffs and cliffs. Thousands of mandrills are surging... No matter which scene is taken out, it is enough to make people feel adrenaline! Watching the protagonists die in minutes In the state of hanging by a thread, I couldn't help but sweat for them all the way.
The most fearful moment is when a player dies - swallowed by a hippo, pecked by an ostrich, or thrown into the abyss by a mandrill, and then waits for the next one to fall from the sky - reminds me, this is a game, everyone's arm The three black bars above represent three lives. It seems that the conditions are good, but the game is very metaphysical. Sometimes you pass the first seven levels unscathed, but you lose three lives in a small part of the last level. In the setting of the movie, It is a real person who crosses into the body of the game character. When the three black bars are lost, the player disappears in the virtual world with the character, and the boundary between reality and the game is broken. This is also the most attractive of the "Jumanji" series. The place.
In the 1995 version of the classic original, it was the various flood beasts that kept jumping out of the board game, which simply and rudely shocked my young mind at the time. The sequel in the past two years has kept pace with the times, and has been upgraded from a board game to an electronic RPG game. The protagonists are completely immersed in the game and become game characters, but their souls and thoughts are still brought from reality. .
At first glance, this is an incredible fantasy story, and even the "Jumanji" series was once defined as a children's film, until the tough guy represented Dwayne Johnson, the well-known talk show host Kevin Hart and "Jumanji". The addition of "Nebula" in "Guardians of the Galaxy" brings a bit of adult color to the movie. When the fat uncle lives in a girl, when the long-legged beauty lives in a bloody boy, when the souls of the two are interchanged ... The comedy effect that broke out in this is amazing. In the new story, there are even more scenes of people changing into horses, full of laughter.
However, no matter how absurd and bizarre the plot of a story is, it must resonate with the audience in order to be passed down. If the original version in 1995 evoked the most primitive fear in our human nature, then "Jumanji 2: Renewal" "Zhan Peak" has created more plump characters - aren't the two protagonists Spencer and Martha the epitome of each of us ordinary people? The former is a sentimental otaku, and the latter is a shy and reserved female scholar. In the game, they can harvest what they can't get in the real world. One became a tough guy who blocked and killed gods and Buddhas, and the other became a beautiful warrior with a hot body.
That's what the game is about!
I finally understand why Spencer in this movie will choose to take the initiative to enter the world of Yumanji after passing the test in the last movie, because only he in the game can boldly express his heart and do everything Things you don't usually do.
Perhaps youth should have this big adventure before growing up. However, this is not like studying and going to school, going step by step and going all the way, and the arrangement is clear; the fun thing about big adventures is that you can never predict what will happen in the next second. Of course, some people can successfully pass the customs and escape, but there are also some people. Can't go back to the real world, stay in the game forever.
Although it is called "Jumanji Games", it also refers to "Brave Life".
