Now that the awards season has come, the best actress Oscar is now quite sure of Julian Moore ("Still Alice"). If "The Seventh Son" was released a little later, it would actually be more topical. The actor and actress Biao scenes are not often seen, but now it can only be the main feature of "The Governor" Jeff Bridges. In fact, since the master of the Oscar won the Oscar, apart from "Thunder in the Earth" is still considered reliable, other works have been so-so, and there have been many hits, such as "Two Heroes of the Underworld" and "Creation: War History". , "The Giver" without exception is the beginning of ambition and the end of failure. Even "The Seventh Son" seems to follow the old path of "The Giver". The Governor and another powerful heroine Mei Mei have supported the super supporting cast of "The Giver", but the young man is helpless. The protagonist is not strong, coupled with the old-fashioned plot, and finally loses the Maicheng.
The escort of Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore gave "The Seventh Son" also a strong aura. It's a pity that they are only supporting roles, and their too strong, not only do not have a good protagonist's bullbreaking, but instead steal the light that belongs to the protagonist. Poor Ben Barnes, who didn’t grasp his role well, had a good-looking face. He had really poor control of the role and didn’t shine. He squandered a good lineup and the Governor’s. Good show.
As a fantasy film, the "Lord of the Rings" series has set an epic benchmark, allowing future generations to look up, and let people learn in various ways. "The Seventh Son" probably also has an urge to create an epic. The director increased the age of the protagonist in the original work, making the whole movie more dark, and the style of the picture is more dazzling, showing the effort to create an epic. feel. But the story of helplessness is too weak. It is full of old stalks everywhere, and the freshness is obviously insufficient. As a result of increasing age, the scenes that could have been sold by selling sprouts are also lost.
When watching "The Seventh Son", I always couldn't help but make a play. For a while, I felt that this scene was like this, and then that another scene was like that. It made me so tired. However, I couldn't help it. After all, the story is not exciting enough to be immersed in it.
Some commented that the whole story is an American magical version of the "Li Mo Chou" story. The kind witch in Huaichun fell in love with the exorcist, but was abandoned, so she became the strongest and most vicious witch from love and hatred. , Come back to retaliate against the whole society. Outline the outline, if you refine it in this way, the whole story can be considered clear and clear. The protagonist of the story is the story of the witch and the exorcist, and it seems that he is not doing the seventh thing. The witch is like the "Rouge Button" coming out of hell to find the female ghost "Ruhua" who once loved the "Twelve Young Masters", but the reality of the "Twelve Young Masters" hangs down and is stubborn, making people feel sad. Broken; and the exorcist that the witch is looking for is not as unbearable as the "Twelve Young Masters", but has become stronger. The grievances between the two people were once again staged. This time, the fight was fierce, the struggle was more intense, and the tactics were greatly upgraded. , Which constitutes the most exciting part of the movie. The painful thing was Li Mochou, who loved Lu Zhanyuan, but after he became stronger, Lu Zhanyuan was gone. When Li Mochou released her chest block, he met an innocent Yang Guo; when the witch released her love and hatred, not only was the exorcist still there, but also an equally tough and handsome offspring "seventh son" was added. Tom Ward. Moreover, this seventh son and Yang Guo both became a generation of heroes, but these are all things to follow.
However, since the title of the film is called "The Seventh Son", this seventh son should have a few shots and exert some power. It is a pity that the whole film is mainly a story between the exorcist and the queen, and the growth story of the seventh son is quite weak and completely ineffective. The direct result is that the center of gravity of the whole movie is seriously out of balance, the protagonist has no sense of existence, and a lot of good scenes are wasted. You know, no matter how strong the supporting role is, it is all about supporting the protagonist. No matter how wonderful the Joker is, he also needs Batman's own abilities to be strong enough. The seventh son can be incapable, but he can also be cute or cute, but, unfortunately, there is not enough in the film. The reason why "Harry Potter" has attracted attention from the beginning is that the cute little round-faced magician in the first part is so cute that it is unbearable.
Looking at this story from the perspective of the seventh son, it looks like a "Kung Fu Panda". A Bao was originally just a guy in a noodle shop. He was fat and cute, but if he stays in the noodle shop, he must be just a dead fat man, but he will become a dragon hero by chance. After training, you have to face the strongest enemy. And the seventh son is just one of the many children of a farmer's family. There is nothing special and nothing special. However, he was selected by the exorcist and faced the attack of the strongest witch after a simple training. This kind of story frame is actually a typical story of the wild "American Dream". Therefore, although "Kung Fu Panda" is full of Chinese elements, it is still a typical American story. The seventh son further highlights the connotation of the "American Dream" story, but the seventh son Tom is handsome, and lacks Abao's cute and affectionate cuteness. When Abao is no longer cute, not many people like this kind of "Kung Fu Panda". The poor "seventh son" is so unpleasant.
Therefore, even though the witch and the exorcist possess strong personality charm, the protagonist's inability to do so weakens the whole story. Ben Barnes played handsome in "The Chronicles of Narnia", and was quite successful. Here, he was not handsome, nor did he show his bravery. On the contrary, "囧雪" Kit Harrington didn't have many scenes, and he was stunned to show off his fearless spirit, which was more dazzling.
Come to think of it, the whole film, as the first part of the seventh sub-series, will probably be the last one. The story is too weak, the sense of existence is too low, and it doesn't go too far.
And I, just because I have read it, so I wrote it. As a movie, it is not recommended.
