A movie not as good as a game

A game with grand scenes and gorgeous visual effects has been adapted into a movie. What is the highlight of it? Reflected in the movie, it is a bit confusing. Without setting up the plot, and without really restoring the game scene, just restoring the video animation at the beginning of the game to the movie repeatedly, I have to say that this makes people feel particularly naive Ridiculous and under-intelligence. The director wanted to tell us the origin of a story as completely as possible, so he focused on describing the plot of the game's opening animation, but whether it's the game itself or the movie, the important part is always the content behind, which can obviously be skipped. Things, but the movie is used as the focus to describe, this kind of behavior is right rather than blindly blind, has brought the adaptation of the movie to a point of no return, not to mention the quality of the movie, just from this point It can be seen that both the creator of the script and the director of the film are almost unfamiliar to this game. As a game fan, even if the movie has no good plot, just put the assassination plot in the game into the movie. Inside, it's also an absolutely wonderful action blockbuster.
Because the attributes of games and movies are different, the emphasis is also different. For games, the emphasis is on the player's personal feelings, while the movie is obviously not this. It focuses more on how to tell a complete story and combine each Such events and characters are connected in series, so people who make games can't make movies, and people who make movies can't guess the game. And this common problem of inter-industry connection is vividly reflected in this film, because it is impossible to find the content that can be regarded as the core of the story in the scattered plots in the game, so the film starts the video animation of the game where the story originated. , as the excavation part of the film's plot, and outlines all kinds of coincidences in past and present lives in a complex and meticulous manner, and portrays that destined sense of mission. So the movie focuses on the shaping of the protagonist, so that we see the kind of vague and hazy characters in the movie, and the family story re-interpreted by the screenwriters, not only makes people look confused I don't know, the pit dug by the family hatred that suddenly changed, the more I get around it, the more dizzy I get.
As a movie, the most unbearable thing is to show the side of the movie game, deliberately reflecting the sense of gluing when the pictures are connected, and using the layering method to peel off the changes of the picture. Because the scenes of the medieval era created in the movie are dark and vicissitudes of life, far from the bright colors in the game, the picture is full of sense, so when the connection is made, the picture appears to be particularly messy, covering the whole picture like dust, which makes people look at it. I felt very uncomfortable afterwards. And it is obvious that using one connecting shot can let us understand the working picture of the time machine, but the director uses multiple shots to show the process more than once. Every time a connecting process occurs, the whole picture is reproduced once, and every time a plot develops , Fassbender's painful face is once again shown in front of us, and this kind of picture and plot is almost useless for the movie, and it is also useless for testing Fassbender's acting skills. It wastes our time and expands the length of the movie, because the director has no idea how to add what kind of shots to the movie to make up for the ignorant plot story in the movie.
It is because the movie tells the origin of the game story, so there is almost no display and exploration of the plot story in the game. Except for a few game signature actions to show the origin between the movie and the game, the rest is almost irrelevant to the game. It doesn't matter, especially after traveling to the Middle Ages, the scene you see is only the scene of the city center in the game, and then there is no action, so the movie uses time travel to explore the character's own self-knowledge and self. redemption. I don't know why foreigners always discuss some personal issues rich in humanistic thoughts. Such self-tortured and meaningless things are annoying to see. No matter what kind of movie, they follow this routine, even if they are foreigners. Focusing on the artistic shaping of human rights and self-exploration, there is really no need for this kind of action movie, because we simply want to see how the action scenes in the game are displayed in the movie, not what flesh and blood The characters come from my doubts and take on their own destiny. It is the heavy feeling of the film imposed by the director, and the reason why the film is not good-looking, does not give us what we want to watch, but just adds something profound and almost irrelevant to us, making the film more and more. The more complicated it is, the more ugly the movie becomes.
Fassbender is getting more and more unscrupulous. He accepts all kinds of bad movies. Originally, he was full of literary and artistic temperament. He was not very suitable for such action movies. Action star, but he just wants to challenge such a role, not only does he have no breakthrough, but also makes his character look disgraced and out of place, not to mention his reputation, and more and more people are suspicious of his self-responsible attitude . In particular, his performance in this film did not show any acting skills at all. It was either a painful face or a look of bewilderment, doubting himself and doubting his life. Even the image of good and evil was also rejected by him. Excessive interpretation, not only makes people not feel how outstanding his performance in this film is, but he loses interest in watching this film because of his rigid performance.
The focus of the game is on the story of the medieval era, while the focus of the movie is on the present, especially the rebellion of the descendants of the assassins that broke out at the end of the movie, which has clearly drawn a clear line from the story of the medieval era. Nothing to do. The duel between knights and assassins has been transplanted to the modern age, and the events of the Middle Ages have become a kind of memory. Watching the ambush and fighting of assassins in the modern urban jungle should be the future trend of this movie. This not only deviates from the original intention of the game itself, but also runs counter to the expectations of the players. I really don’t know why the director chose such a story to describe. It is not at all to adapt the movie with the attitude of being responsible for the game and the players, but to borrow In the name of the game, I created an independent story to interpret the plot in the movie. I have to say that it is really disappointing. What the hell is this?
