Many people compare Poseidon to Titanic. Seeing the names of the two ships already makes one have to compare them. It's ironic that Poseidon and Titanic, also the names of gods, can't protect the people on board. Poseidon was clearly bigger than the Titanic, and when the long shot of the opening shot came out, I almost mistook it for a large apartment in Singapore or Japan. (I really want to gossip, the upper part of the ship is really like the apartment where Sister Ge Cheng lives in "EVA"!)
From a technical point of view, since "Poseidon" is this year's film, the computer effects technology used are all It is first-class, and the "Thai" of that year can't compare with it.
As for the relationship between characters, I think "The Sea" is too complicated. Of course, several people escape together is the setting of the original work, but the director obviously did not highlight the main characters. If I hadn't looked at the cast list, I'm sure the film was almost over without knowing who the male lead was. The former mayor of New York was obviously in the limelight, and after he died, I was determined by the common sense that "the male lead can't die halfway through" (I sweat it! What kind of common sense is this? Have you read too many comics?) The real hero. The feelings between the characters don't seem to be so deep either. For a while, the father and daughter are deeply in love, and for a while it is love first. There is no focus.
Let's revisit "Thai" again. As soon as the "Thai" film came out, the names of Jack and Rose were immediately household names, and they became synonymous with Romeo and Juliet. Their love is the highlight of the whole film. Even if they did not focus on depicting the disaster, but because of their love, everyone remembered the despair and sadness caused by the catastrophe. Moreover, while reminiscing about the love between the hero and heroine, there are some details that we can still remember: the hull designer looked around the ship like his own child, and then stopped the clock at the moment when the ship sank; He locked himself in the control room with deep self-blame, the glass cracked, and instantly swept him into the terrifyingly blue water; He shot the man to death without hesitation, and then pointed the gun at his temple with a calm face; the four mates of the band refused to go first and played until they slid from the deck to the The sea... These scenes are vivid and fresh in my memory. In the face of disaster, the display of all the charisma makes people want to cry.
In Poseidon, I was clinging to the chair the whole time. Only once did I cry. It was when the boat capsized, and the force of the shock sent people screaming and running around, but there was no way to escape. Many things were shattered; many fell from heights and fell to their death. I covered my mouth and cried silently. I really wanted to help them, but I found that I couldn't do anything, so I cried. Nothing to do with the plot, my tears can only be attributed to the huge visual impact.
If you want to talk about the narrative, the "Thai" film is still better. "Titanic" can be said to be Rose's memoir, starting with a painting, we go back to the past with the old man's memory. At the end of the film, we are back in reality, watching Rose tremble, standing on the railing, the blue of the gem is finally annihilated in the vast ocean, and the heart of the ocean finally goes where it should go. Then there is the dream, Rose is back to when she was young, the man was standing on the stairs, smiling and reaching out to her - how many times has she dreamed of this scene? We have no way of knowing. However, even in the back and forth between reality and the past, we will be so nervous that our minds go blank due to the occurrence of disasters, and we can also have the opportunity to slow down our thoughts and think about what love is and what is the true meaning of life.
And "Poseidon" has always made me nervous, I have no time to think about anything, and the next predicament is in front of me. In the scene where the water tank was decided to be waterproof, I was so nervous that I was in step with the characters in the film, and I started to hold my breath. (= =b Everyone, don't laugh, I often do something like this when I watch movies...) I've been nervous and impetuous, so I haven't had time to think, and my feelings are naturally not as profound as after watching "Titanic".
The remake of "Poseidon" is not as successful as "Titanic". When I want to find out the old version, it is said that it has won multiple Oscars, and it is the originator of such disaster films. Maybe I can find surprises.
