Although the "Prince" and "Princess" were reduced to ashes in the movie "Pompeii", this is still a standard "personal heroism first", "lone hero kills the bad guys and embraces the beauties". . Don't forget, even if they died, the two protagonists died in a fierce kiss. The moment I saw the heroine stick out her tongue, I was so sad that I wanted to blind myself.
Such an incomparably clichéd story that Americans are telling and Koreans are telling is nothing more than the story of a poor boy and a rich girl who fell in love with each other and finally got married. The difference is that the background of the story is set in 79 AD, Pompeii, the site of the famous eruption of the Vezue volcano.
The eruption of the Vezue volcano is a magnificent and magnificent background story: the turbulent Rome, the prevalence of martial arts, the drunkenness of gold, and the extravagant fornication. Thinking of it makes people bloody and unclothed. This is a story background that can be compared with an epic disaster like "2012". However, it is difficult to hold up such a grand story with individuals, not group portraits, as the object of description. After reading it, I feel that something is missing.
If this movie is to be said to be a bit ambitious, then only its ambition at the box office. Fortunately, a little bit of ambition for the box office. The disaster scenes in the movie are full of scenes. In the second half, I was basically immersed in the pleasure of volcanic eruption destroying mankind. I have been silently praying in my heart: hard, hard, hard again, oh my god, that's there, hard! Harder! Gush out! Burn the protagonists and let the bad guys win.
But even though the scenes of volcanic eruption ruining the city and extinction were full of effects, wave after wave, it was finally ruined by the kissing scene of the hero and heroine. In the last scene, the green grass field where the protagonist and heroine kissed exposed the fact that the disaster background was originally post-production, and seemed to tell the audience: the previous disasters are all fake, and the prince and princess are real together from then on. I really can't wait for the protagonist to die sooner, even if it's just one time. Then I can be submerged in the volcanic ash that is unthinkable, reckless, gushing out and splashing on my face.
