"Code 47": a commercial action film

Payton 2021-12-20 08:01:03

As a film adapted from an action game, the narrative neglects the creation of the plot, and focuses too much on the design of the action drama, so that the movie presents a flashy feeling, too standard action scenes, no suspense The shootout scene creates too many repetitive action scenes, which makes the whole movie fall into a kind of infinite loop of no-brain business. In addition to the continuous flashing of embedded advertisements in the movie, people have a feeling of appreciating long-form commercials. . The commercial atmosphere of the film is strong, which highlights the magnificence of the film and the effect of the film, which weakens the grasp of the whole film. The plot of the film has been maintained in a more radical state. The visual effects are overwhelming, but the rhythm of the film is too tense. Apart from the chase scene, it is a gunfight scene. It is difficult to have free time to describe the plot. This makes us confused when watching this movie and don't know what the director is trying to express. , I can’t tell whether the movie is a sequel or an independent movie. This also makes the movie fall into a kind of false realm. Behind the seemingly exciting and intense, there is no technical content at all.

As director Alexander Bach’s film debut, the film is too conservative to choose a commercial film based on visual effects, blindly filling every corner of the film with exciting and exciting action scenes, without wasting a bit of time to extend the plot, continuous It's to fight, kill, kill you and chase me, and show the pitiful plot in the flashback fragments of memory. It’s just that although the director satisfies the audience’s requirements for action scenes, the design of the gunfight scene has always been immersed in Wu Yusen’s violent aesthetics, unable to extricate himself from it. He can’t find the movie’s own action scene highlights at all, making the movie’s intense gunfighting scenes look a little bit Monotonous and boring, what we see is to show the protagonist's power and brilliance, and destroy everything in front of us with an absolute overwhelming ability. The movie does not exist in the form of a cat and mouse, but a posture of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. The enemy was frightened, which seemed to violate the industry standard of action movies. The original magnificent commercial action movie instantly became a live-action video preview of the action game, and the situation seemed very embarrassing. But the most criticized thing in the movie is the use of props. Regardless of all the props in the movie, as long as the protagonist can use it, cars and airplanes can appear at any time. You don’t know where these props come from. Anyway, the protagonist’s. The ability is very powerful, which makes the existence of a movie like a movie. I have to say that in addition to the extraordinary imagination of the film screenwriters, there are also times when they can't be boundless. As a film dominated by pure action dramas, the performances of the actors seemed dispensable. The director hired the unknown Rupert Flander as the leading actor. Obviously, he did not really list the characters. For the focus of the movie, a bald head and a thin body, there is only a serious expression in the audience, and even the lines are pitiful. In addition to the continuous action scenes, the movie is a decoration as a character. Except for a close hand-to-hand fight with the villain character Zachary Quintu from time to time, it is difficult for us to remember the existence of this character. To be honest, Rupert Flender’s personal aura and sense of existence are inherently very Weakness is even more dispensable in this movie. In this way, this movie is really more like a feature-length action movie commercial.

The director invited Zachary Quinto to play the role of the villain, but with his handsome and tough appearance, he could have been competent for the protagonist, and the bald-headed Rupert Flander revealed a feeling of femininity and evil, as if he played the villain. The roles are more suitable. If the roles of the two people can be changed, I think the effect should be much better than the current situation. I don’t know why the director arranged it like this. Is it to highlight the dramatic effect of the movie, but the whole movie did not create it The drama of the plot, on the contrary, is a deliberately old-fashioned commercial film model, not only without novelty, but also lacking the highlights of the film.

However, the film still reveals the texture of the commercials, the fine and dense pictures, the chic and elegant action design, and the smoothness of the screen playback. All show that the film finds a feeling in terms of viewing, but the plot design of the movie is too simple and crude, and the characters are characters. The change is faster than turning the face, and the lack of logical chaos and plot of the film has affected the film’s ability to become a qualified commercial film, and the value of advertising is too obvious. From time to time, we fall into the feeling of watching a blockbuster commercial. .
